Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo I just want fun games from them.Imagine how embarrassing it would be if Sony had multiple AAA titles delayed! Thankfully GT, HZD2, and GoW2 will all be here so soon!
"Microsoft especially" but Sony announced God of War Ragnarok too early and they definitely announced Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, and TLOU2 way too early last gen. Sony isn't as bad at it but they all announce games too early, a year out. I'd much prefer the announce the games the same year they release.So Sony didn't show 12 months of software last year in their June event? Because they did and 3-4 of those have released. And More coming soon. Nintendo's issue is they can't supply software fast enough while the others have more third party support and exclusive third party to pad out their slate.
I think you are deliberately ignoring the nuances that are present in a conversation. If you only look at what is being said through the lens of someone who is a fan of said box, you are letting your bias influence your understanding and basically getting defensive. People aren't being mean to Microsoft here. With this acquisition, Microsoft has brought a lot of studios under their wing and so far their messaging hasn't exactly been clear. No one would have assumed otherwise (about exclusivity) if you didn't have Phil Spencer saying things like: "...we'll look at it on a case by case basis..." or "....it will be first or better on Xbox..." and even with their latest statement on the matter that leaves that room open by stating "some"; nothing has changed from what we knew of the matter before to now. If those things weren't said, everyone would have assumed exclusive until told otherwise.Imagine claiming you like games but jump on a pro xbox game thread to denounce every title.
I knew this thread would go the way it went instantly. Why are playstation gamers so triggered about games on another platform.
My post wasn't about MS games being on another platform. My post was about certain 'gamers' trashing every one of those games because its on a particular platform.

This isn't a Sony fans wanting something to be true vs Xbox fans hoping that they finally have something to hold over Sony fans. Microsoft hasn't been clear on the matter and I think we are going to find out this week (thursday, right?). Please, move away from that non-sense. You can prefer your boxes but don't make it into a war where you need to one up the other.
This gen looks like it's going to be a long one for you.Great for Xbox owners but for my taste there is nothing there for me other than games from Tango.
Are you joking!? I recently I got Bravely Default 2 which currently put over 70 hours in to it and later this month Monster Hunter Rise coming out and in demo alone I put 90 hours in to that game as well. Then in April I’m getting NieR Replicant ver 1.22 and Kena in August.This gen looks like it's going to be a long one for you.
There doesn't appear to be many games coming from any of the big publishers that are to your tastes.
i don't know how well they can manage them , but just looking at this image tells you MS is DONE playing the underdog in every generation
well, Phil, i never cared for your company before, you most definitely have my attention now

Arkane Austin has to be close. Spring 2022 at the latest.I do hope that whatever Arkane's 2nd team is making is good. I really hope FABLE is good. That's honestly the xbox exclusvie title I'm most interested in but that interest is highly dependent on Playground's execution. With Rod no longer at the Coalition, they may have a bit more freedom to try new ideas within the Gears franchise, so there is some potential there, but that could go either way. We'll see, it'll still be a couple years before any of this bears any real, substantial fruit.
That is one massive payroll.
Lots of people pointing out that MS owned Rare and that was a waste.
While true, they didn't own their most popular franchises, particularly Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye. Regardless, as with any developer, it will all come down to talent retention, which didn't occur with the Rare purchase.
Great actuallyHow’d that work out for Rare?
Let's wait first and see how many of those MS will decide to shut down.
I really do hope Playground nails it with Fable, really looking forward to seeing what they do with it, remains to be seen though if xbox can keep all these plates spinning harmoniously though.Last gen, the only notable studio Microsoft shut down was Lionhead..though haters love to pretend like Twisted Pixel, Press Play, FASA and Ensemble were huge losses.
Now look at them.
23 1st party studios AND were getting Fable back.
Keep living in the past, though!
Last behind Switch lmao? You don't get to release another system as a retry for one of the worst blunders in console history and then get to claim some kind of victory.Lmao. MS cannot even keep their flagship game on course and now you think they can suddenly spin out a dozen wins? By what? Next 2 or 3 years?
They've had six years to be ready for this launch. After finishing last behind the switch you'd think they could have planned better by actually getting shit out on time.

Nintendo lost the 8th generation by a country mile, no if's, and's or but's about it.
We have been hearing that for at least two generations now. Tell me, exactly what Xbox didn't have before that they do now? And consider that the same people for the last decade are in charge still, what will change? All i see is MS spending money. And as far as I can tell that is used as a metric alone for success as if spending more means bigger returns.Bethesda’s acquisition put them back in the game for sure and it’s a much more even playing field now.
Phil Spencer has only been running Xbox since 2014.And consider that the same people for the last decade are in charge still, what will change?

I played Kameo and Viva Pinata. Both of those games sold something like half a million copies and were considered financial failures. Hearing that MS is saying they basically wanna leave all the Bethesda games alone is a good thing.Though correct, rare made Kameo which was a nice surprise and viva piñata. Then made sea of thieves which took like a year to be content relevant. They have squandered that studio who had a lot of top tier talent leave when MS bought them, more so after their first couple titles on xbox. Then you look at 343 which it looking like they had multiple people from other studios help get that studios shit together.
Really hope the "new" studios like playground show MS how product management is done. Hopefully someone from the ranks of one of those studios rises up and takes over Xbox studios. They need someone at the helm who is competent.
Of course it is that is what we all begged for after Darth Don. To give studios creative freedom. I trust Matt booty will continue doing that. If his hands off management has kept a guy like Brian fargo from retirement that speaks volumes of his management style.I played Kameo and Viva Pinata.

Hearing that MS is saying they basically wanna leave all the Bethesda games alone is a good thing.
Sony shut and closed more studios .Let's wait first and see how many of those MS will decide to shut down.
With this deal it could spell the same for Sony fans and PS4 the glory yearsThis is true...and alot of strict Xbox fans just CANT LET GO of the 360 era. Reminds me of the guys who peaked in highschool and still think theyre the coolest and everyone else is jealous. But hey
