@uptownsoul Yep But xbox fans don't want to see that. Pretty sad actually. then whine for proof when there is no real proof for both Sony and MS. Only speculations
So! Microsoft paid for the exclusivity. Doesn't matter, but don't say that Sony is the only one who pulls that trick. They even learned it from Microsoft.
@wiiware That is, of course, pure nonsense. Perhaps there are many more people working within take two than within Nintendo. And Nintendo also has a profit from hardware sales, right? Take two only sells software.
@Rhaoulos That's true haha. But England is no longer part of Europe, right? And this offer applies within Europe and within Europe we (almost) all pay with Euros. But it was also meant more as a joke. Don't take it too seriously. But according to my Pounds currently more expensive than euros, right?
@AdamCorela Sony bank rub? where did you get that nonsense? Reddit for sure. Sony has had a few bad years behind them. read: no profit. But they never stood on the edge of the abyss. But you can't compare Sony to Microsoft. Sony operates in a completely different branch of sport than MS. If Sony had developed an operating system that 98% of the world (must) use, Sony would probably have been worth much more. But Sony is making good profits these days. You shouldn't be talking nonsense about something that doesn't apply
Microsoft needs to stop whining and Phill needs to stop posting nonsensical messages on Twitter and stop playing games and start running a business. The reason Sony remains dominant? Games games and more games. For example, looking at myself, I can enjoy PS exclusives much more than Xbox exclusives. It's about time Microsoft starts investing in the 23 studios they own and making decent games. Yes Sony games are also regularly the same franchises. But those are 10 different ones. At Xbox the last 2 years I only get Halo and AGAIN a new Forza. And wow HiFI Rush. funny game but not a mind blower. And you see how much praise that game already gets. you can check if they decide to really release games like Sony and Nintendo.
Technical problems seem to me more like the problem of the Series s and series x side by side. As nice as that S is, he's going to cause more and more problems like this. But the Xbox camp doesn't want to hear that. okay then not..
@Tharsman maybe I should put it differently indeed, it's not "we're don't care about CoD" but "we're not doing it just for CoD" so that would mean that if they're mainly down online business (King) they should be able to distance themselves doing Call of Duty. even then, Microsoft is the best seller. But I doubt that this lawsuit is pressing. I think it's more of a circus than a case. You should read that blog on Eurogamer. Quite entertaining actually!
@Tharsman No, I agree that the deal is certainly no longer worth 70 billion. And then it remains to be seen what the shareholders will think of that. But it would be in line with what Microsoft keeps releasing. "we don't care about CoD"
@Splatmaster No, because CoD should not be kept off Playstation. the user base is much too large for that. If Microsoft were to divest CoD...I wonder if the deal will go through. If Microsoft is smart, they would agree if that were a requirement.
The first thing that happens is Microsoft bribing Nvidia by saying that CoD will be available on Gforce now....I think this should be enough for the European Union to oppose the deal. Microsoft is not prepared at all. But tries to attract companies in this way. Microsoft is a big circus right now. And Phill Spencer killing time by playing HIFI Rush on his series s in his hotel room. It shouldn't get crazier :😜
@add286 Maybe my response came across as harsher than I intended. But I mean to say that you should not forget that a Horizon FW costs over 100 million euros to make. Then you cannot expect these first party titles to appear on a subscription model. For example, you could also just buy a game on offer instead of the full amount. I imagine it's a lot of money for some. But I am annoyed by comments nowadays that mean that everything should be "given away" for free or cheaply. And that's not how it works in this world. Be happy with the things you do get. Including Horizon fb on plus extra. If you already have the game (like me) I will play another game. But I'm glad that a lot of gamers can get acquainted with this game thanks to this promotion.
that man really is the biggest lunatic in the gaming world. I really don't understand how that man still gets money if he has to leave Activision after all that misbehavior. What a nasty man that is.
@PlayStationGamer3919 No it isn't, maybe for you. But what psvr2 has to offer technically it is not expensive. and psvr2 is Playstation exclusive. So yes if you buy that you go blind for Playstation yes, seems logical to me.
@PlayStationGamer3919 No it's not. Look at the possibilities that PSVR2 offers. Competing glasses for the PC market with exactly the same specs and features often cost double. A Tesla is also more expensive than an Electric Fiat. Why? They are both electric cars, right?
@Darude84
Do you have any idea what technology is in those glasses? not to mention the new controllers. People really think Sony should sell everything at a loss. Of course it doesn't work that way. Research, Marketing, Manufacturing and parts are not free either. (Although some do think that Sony is a non-profit organization.) If you think it's too expensive, just wait until it comes on sale. That Kayak simulator, Horizon and RE village alone are worth it.
@get2sammyb Yes, very curious about Evil Dead. Not a game that I would buy quickly but want to play. So this is a nice addition for ps plus. I have the same thing with that new Ghostbusters game.
I wonder, how many people play games longer than 6 hours in a row? I mean, I love to play games every now and then, but I have more to do than hang behind my Playstation.
what a lot of fuss for 1 game. there is enough to play right? maybe that title will be there another month. Personally, I was not interested in this title.
@Cloud7794 Yes, I get that. Maybe I misread the sentence. But the fact remains that these are good developments for a large group of people. And I find that much more important than hobbyists who like to modify controllers.
@WallyWest Why? i buy all hitman games day one. I think it's great games to play and I'm glad I can support the developer with that. Most people who have Hitman 3 already have parts 1 and 2. No one will mind that parts 1 and 2 are added now. Unless you're really stingy by nature, of course.
@thefourfoldroot1
haha i know your problem. I also often have titles that I would like to play and then even write down. But once I finally have time to play a title I can't find it anywhere. But you still have until January 17 to play the game. If it doesn't work out this month, I still wish you a Merry Christmas!
@HunterRose serious? Sony owns the Spiderman license. (at least for the movies) Microsoft has had the chance to buy the Spiderman license and make Spiderman games. She didn't want that. Because Microsoft doesn't want to make games. They have 23 studios but NOTHING comes out. The only thing coming now is because Bethesda was already working on those games. Just go make games Microsoft. So does Sony.
I received an email from Sony to place a pre-order. Just like with the PS5. but I'm getting a little man soon so I can spend the € 599 better at the moment
@Korgon I'm sure they just get the code. I definitely think it's a bad thing. But this is still factory work, and occasionally things go wrong. I don't think Sony is directly to blame for this. Hermen Hulst, for example, does not stand at the assembly line to see whether each box is filled correctly.
@XanderTigerclaw
speak for yourself. I think ps plus extra is worth €99 a year. But are you naive enough to think that they can give away €100 million (to make) games day 1 for €99 a year?? ouch!
@Jarobusa Of course there is room for a lot of improvement. but when I say that it is a new program and that it still needs to be tinkered with, it is nonsense. because Microsoft has a similar program and that is better. (Gosh how could that be?) And if stars had been just as good as the xbox variant, Sony will copy it again. in short it is never good. Do you understand what I mean?
