MS after the purchase

 

[Bernkastel]

Where are those who argued that it would be multiplat when it was announced? I remember even some bets were made.

 

[graywolf323]

"case by case basis"

yep Xbox can totally be trusted while behind the scenes they go as far as to renegotiate an existing contract in order to remove the competition

 

[Vlodril]

Look at all these games we will give the ps5 in the future.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Literally changing contracts, paying money, to remove PlayStation for a third-party IP.

"Gaming is for everyone."
"Sony makes it harder for us by making it discreet exclusivity deals."
"When everyone plays, we all win."
"Zenimax acquisition was not done to take games away from PlayStation."

 

[DenchDeckard]

So Sony get's spider man and Xbox gets indiana jones?

I hope indiana jones is as good as spider man..but I have my doubts..

 

[Adam_802]

MS smarty keeping the big games exclusive to Xbox.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Well well well.

If it isn't Microsoft being Microsoft.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Is this microsofts second summer showcase?

Show us gameplay of Indy!!!

 

[analog_future]

Can't wait for this one. Love Machinegames as well. Should be a banger

 

[KyoZz]

I mean... who though otherwise?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

But let me buy ABK and I promise I wont do that with COD

Playbook by this.

"History is always written by the winners"

this is their end goal.

 

[FoxMcChief]

The ones that petitioned for Starfield to be on the PS5.

I have a feeling the usuals will ignore the first part of your comment lol. I mean, MS are the same guys the turned down a Spider-Man exclusive game developed by them. I feel like they learned their lesson from that given insomniacs Spider-Man's massive success.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Well well well.

Ftfy.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Really the bethesda acquisition screwed over Sony only gamers way worse than activision will. I would trade every COD game for Starfield.

 

[gela94]

Was there ever a proper trailer for this game?

 

[lucbr]

Me too!

 

[Crispy Gamer]

So they lied who's surprised

 

[RoboFu]

So that's millions of pc owners .. nice!

 

[T_T]

Another PS5 build canceled. Good guy Phil "when everyone plays we all win" Spencer.

 

[Snake29]

Lol i don't care about Indiana Jones. Can't see how that game would be appealing for the mass market these days. It's not even close to spiderman level of mass appealing.

The old IJ movies were fun. The new movie…meh.

 

[Kacho]

Megaton

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Makes sense.

But since Playstation Showcase it has been nothing but Xbox Showcase one after another

 

[Bernkastel]

Another PS5 build canceled.

Doubt there was any cosole build when they bought Zenimax. "Planned" does not mean there were working builds for those platforms.

They already signed a bunch of contracts that are legally binding if they acquire ABK that prevents them from doing that with CoD.

There was also a contract for Indiana Jones to be multiplat too, I guess it got ripped since.Those deal could also be renegociated unliteraly so it doesn't hold much ground.

Was Microsoft a party in that original contract, though or was it changed after Microsoft acquired BZ as their parent company?

Well there were contracts in place.

He can swing, so...

Second one.

This summer of game announcements has been great.

 

[Hendrick's]

Great news. Xbox should never release another game on PS after what they pulled with this deal and with all their money hatting hypocrisy.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Second one.

Did not know that. Didn't know they could somehow get out of a signed contract either. Hmmm.....

 

[Fabieter]

You have to psy a previously set fee and you are out of basically every contract.

 

[Kacho]

Lol i don't care about Indiana Jones.

Generally I don't either, but Todd Howard is executive producer. I need every molecule from that guy.

"I will just say it's a mash-up. It's unique. It isn't one thing, intentionally, so it does a lot of different things that myself and the folks at Machine Games have wanted to do in a game. So it's a unique thing."

 

[Heisenberg007]

Did not know that. Didn't know they could somehow get out of a signed contract either. Hmmm.....

They renegotiated and amended the contract. In other words, they paid Disney to drop the PS5 version and signed a new contract that nullified the 1st one.

Oh shit. I didn't realize they could do that.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Ftfy.

Who did Sony buy and cancelled planned versions of their games?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Exclusive based on a licensed IP? Never heard of that before.

 

[Sweden85]

Microsoft is like the biggest lying dick in High School.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Ftfy.

Call me when Sony take a multiplatform game series fully exclusive, rewriting initial contracts etc.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Who did Sony buy and cancelled planned versions of their games?

You won't get an answer for that. The guy wanted to troll and just leave.

 

[Solidus_T]

Case by case basis, meaning, every case there's a new game, it's exclusive to Xbox.

 

[Ronin_7]

Ooofff
