Starfield will be announced for PS5 with a release between November and December 2024. The 2025 plan is even bigger, featuring well-establis

I believe they fucked up so much not launching the game on PS5 on day one. Unless it becomes some kind of Cyberpunk redemption story (and I don't think it can, because CB was a good game with technical issues; Starfield is not a good game), it won't sell nearly as well as it could have with a day one release.

What a disaster

The game's reputation is fully compromised and word of mouth is terrible.
PS5 users won't be fooled into buying this game at full price unless they do a 2.0 version with a big expansion fixing the limitations of the original, basically another Cyberpunk situation but that's really unlikely to happen so it's too little too late.

Had no doubt.
This process was always going to be gradual. Cant just fuck their Xbox fanbase in one shot. Its gotta be a slow fuck lol

Cause we all know Phil aint exactly the kost transparent

How is this "fucking" anyone? Will all other copies suddenly stop working? Is it being pulled from Gamepass? I don't understand.

Wow. If true, this basically means everyone who bought it/completed it on Xbox was essentially early access for the more polished/patched version that the PlayStation 5 will ultimately get.

Ouch to Xbox gamers.

Why port a trash game I wonder. I genuinely wonder why a PS gamer who has access to much better games would buy this. Not the PS fanboys who would play this on PS just to feel like they are violating Xbox community or sth.

Despite what Xbox fanboys want to believe MS is all about the $$$. They know they will make far more money publishing their games on all platforms including mobile.
It's all true.gif

Big if true. Despite the podcast Phil was on the other week, this would indicate that Xbox are throwing in the towel when it comes to Xbox platform (including windows pc) exclusives.

Xbox will turn itself into a huge publishing outlet though. Weird news for sure if true.
TBH Microsoft was better as a publisher. Their output got objectively worse and less interesting when Xbox got into the picture, this is such a good move honestly

You can get Fallout 76 for "free" that these days has a better experience than Starfiled.
It's cheaper than a month of gamepass often and doesn't require a sub for online service on PC like it does on consoles so I think that's a better call.
 
eh i played at launch on PC and despite some performance issues in big cities, the game is by far the most polished bethesda game ive played. No crashes, no stuttering, and an overall polished experience i typically only see in Sony first party games.

In fact, it was far more polished than most other PC ports i played last year including Hogwarts, RE4, Star Wars, Robocop, TLOU2 and Forza. Only AW2 and Avatar were more polished, and AW2 had its own performance issues in certain areas.

The game's issues are with the design and that cant be fixed. It is what it is and will remain that way until Starfield 2. PS5 gamers will play the same exact game.

I see MS fully going down this route, with a small caveat. I expect them to keep their big games as day 1 on Xbox/PC only, coming to other platforms 6-12 months down the line.

They have to keep a reason for people to want the Xbox hardware over others (if they want to stay in the hardware business that is).

but but phil said no :messenger_sad_relieved:
Actually, what he said was, possibly, maybe, no, yes, potentially, all of them, none of them, some of them, dont rule it out, on a case by case basis, every screen, everywhere, everyone, I love gamers. He's been crystal clear throughout...
Let's be honest guys: the only good major "exclusive" Xbox has is Forza Horizon
I'd like the back catalogue of Gears and Halo.
 
Is that the rumor from the other day saying GoT 2 would be announced this year? That hasn't been confirmed yet has it? Or was there something else?

Sorry.....I'm a bit distrustful of leakers these days.
It’s a more recent one and even predicted the announcement date. He was off by one day but it’s negligible.
Looking at his Tweet he actually said Wednesday the 5th so likely just messed up the date as he had the right day at least :)

 
I think it’s a good thing that starfield is coming to PS5.Could mean an additional 5-10 millions sold which is lots of money for both sides.

Yeah, I would double dip on FH4&5 so I can play with my wheel setup for PS5. Well, I guess they kind of suck with a wheel/pedals anyways, but still.

I’m sure there would be buyers especially Bethesda fans. The only difference is it wouldn’t be the same if it was released on the same day as PC and Xbox. The Playstations buyers know exactly what they’re getting.

There’s also room for the expansions and survival mode updates to at least make the experience a bit better.
There are definitely going to be lost sales. Especially with a ton of great games releasing this year.
