You also posted this in the other thread, so linking to my response there.

I'll post the same thing as well.
?? Both statements can be true. Phil can port games, and still bring "great exclusive games to platforms where gamepass exists." These are not mutually exclusive. I don't follow your logic.

Could be ironic use of "big one" because in the game you are shrunken down to a size of an ant and your main objective is to make yourself big again.

I hope that on Monday they say something because what a joke there is with so many rumors, there is tension in the atmosphere.

1. These are definitely mutually exclusive. Game Pass does not exist on PlayStation and Nintendo, so these games should not come to these platforms, as per Phil's previous statement.
2. My logic is that you're clearly picking the "case by case" statement (which was specifically about Zenimax Bethesda games) and applying it to all Xbox Studios games, which is obviously incorrect.
Hi-Fi Rush can fall into this category. But Sea of Thieves, As Dusk Falls, etc. do not.
So, no Microsoft has not "already stated their intent to port games "that made sense" on a case by case basis" if we're talking about games like Sea of Thieves and As Dusk Falls.

Stepping back from all of this for a moment.
Xbox are really, really good in showing others how not to handle PR. Its shockingly bad. I mean am I watching an episode of the cringe filled Office in real life play out or something.... my only contemplation beyond that, is this as bad as Mattricks drop the mic moment of "we have a console for you, its called the 360". This is all a stunning, massive cluster fuck of messaging. And you have MS entourage twats like Warren, assumingly briefed allowing more fuel onto it, but refusing to say what game. Come on Xbox. Is this the only level of professionalism you're capable of bringing?

If anyone is wondering why this rumor and all the doom and gloom won't go away, it's because of people like Tom Warren fanning the flames.

Tom Warren speaking on Xbox games going to PlayStation. Aside from Sea of Thieves and Hi Fi Rush.
"I know for a fact that there is a big one that I think a people will be very surprised at that will be going to PlayStation"
It's a recording from February 2, before all this circus.
The game he is referring to would be Indiana Jones, which according to him would be being studied.
Tom already published an article about it.
There is nothing new here.
Microsoft weighs launching Indiana Jones on the PS5
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could be heading to PS5.

Exactly. It’s done. This idea that there will be some limit is just the last string of hope the fanboys have. I’m sure MS will also use it next week to keep the fanbase calm. They’ve been misleading them for years now but there’s a core group out there that will latch onto any life line MS gives them.
I have seen a few that are done with it and recognize that they’ve been lied to though. I stopped trusting MS since the Xbox one reveal and I’ve only been proven right year after year.

True.
It is like singing "I know something that you don't know, you don't know, you don't know" ..... well do ya?! Lol. Since he won't say.

Personally, it's literally the only thing about Xbox that interests me.
If they were to release HB2 on PS5, they can do whatever else they want, for all I care.
Are going to ignore the "omfg these graphics, Sony is doomed, Game of the Gen" arguments when HB2 was announced?
The game has been hyped to hell by the Xbox fanbase.
Until it turned out it's going to be a cheaper digital-only release, with short game-length.

Come on guys, xbox are in trouble but not THAT much trouble that these are considered big ones.
Its Halo Infinite, Gears or Starfield.

It's actually because Xbox will not clear the air and would rather wait a week.

1. Your premise is flawed and only makes sense if Phil stated "we will ONLY ship great exclusives on platforms with gamepass exists." In actuality, it doesn't state that, and you have to add it in to use that statement as evidence for your claim.1. These are definitely mutually exclusive. Game Pass does not exist on PlayStation and Nintendo, so these games should not come to these platforms, as per Phil's previous statement.
2. My logic is that you're clearly picking the "case by case" statement (which was specifically about Zenimax Bethesda games) and applying it to all Xbox Studios games, which is obviously incorrect.
Hi-Fi Rush can fall into this category. But Sea of Thieves, As Dusk Falls, etc. do not.
So, no Microsoft has not "already stated their intent to port games "that made sense" on a case by case basis" if we're talking about games like Sea of Thieves and As Dusk Falls.
2. If I am allowed to extrapolate on what was stated (much like you did), the term exclusive could also encompass "timed exclusives". This would also fit in their plans to port games while still shipping exclusives to the gamepass platform.

They should. It's a fun game.
Terrible characters, but good gameplay.

1. Exclusive literally implies 'only'. That's in the definition. If it is not ONLY on that platform, it's not exclusive. I can't believe we're talking about something that obvious.
2. Not the point we were discussing. My point was that the 'case by case basis' statement does not cover XGS games porting.

Is there? It might have started out pretty tense but after the initial flurry it just became amusing with every clout chaser trying to get their name on the board.

Hmmm get PS fans that never gave Halo a shot a taste of the franchise in hopes they will buy into a Series system to step up to the current Halo Infinite?

Smh.....again, Phil can decide to port games to PS5, while simultaneously shipping exclusives that don't get ported. If you read his statement plainly, he does not imply he will ONLY be shipping exclusives.
Edit: also, can we not pretend that games marketed as "exclusive" do not regularly get ported to other platforms, after a period of time has been passed?

It’s most definitely Starfield.

Don't think he is referring to Indiana Jones in the video. Big difference between saying Microsoft is "considering" Indiana Jones for PS5 and saying "I know for a fact" that a game is going to PS5.

We're still on the first going. This isn't Space Balls where they prepare to prepare.

The only port that would be genuinely shocking is Halo, and that would mark the formal end of Xbox as we know it. Interesting times ahead.

And not denying anything he said as false or has changed since.
I promise I don't know what he thinks he knows though
