I mean, are we really considering Starfield "big"?

Forza has, I'm assuming, been eliminated. So what constitutes "big" here? Starfield seems to be fairly lukewarm by and large, but I know a lot of PlayStation owners, prior to it's release and reception, wanted to play it..but does it really count as big now? After the overall reception?

Halo? Gears?

Indiana Jones?

Hellblade is definitely NOT big, even if I won't be surprised if it is ported in an effort to generate *some* revenue.

 

[LordCBH]

I mean it’s the biggest game they’ve released this gen.

 

[Astray]

I mean, are we really considering Starfield "big"?

It was big enough to drive Microsoft to spend 8 billion on Zenimax in order to prevent it from going timed exclusive to the competition.

 

[Heisenberg007]

FH is about to turn 3 years old and has 40 million players, I don't think it's a big issue if it gets a port now, personally.

Just a year ago, you were bullish on how every Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard game is now going to be exclusive to Xbox forever.

Now "it's not a big issue" even when Forza Horizon, an XGS game through and through, is coming to PlayStation.

Helping our PS only brethren get a taste of the best arcade racing game of the generation and getting more revenue for the Xbox brand.

You Xbox fans are really overrating Xbox' library.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

a-men cuz they desperately need it.

 

[SmurfMustard]

And yet we have multiple threads for multiple games that might come with lots of thirsty bitches.

Define "lots of thirsty bitches".

10 cheering? Most of which were already fan of said games.

No, if people wanted to play these games so badly, they'd have bought an Xbox or just paid $1 to subscribe to Game Pass and play these games via xCloud.

Don't overestimate the pull and impact of these Xbox games because they aren't any.

There are multiple threads for multiple games because that's what Xbox has brought its brand down to. They wanted to "win this console generation" and "outspend Sony" and now they are bringing their own games to PlayStation in a bid to survive for a little longer.

This is the utmost irony and a colossal brand failure.

Microsoft Flight Sim - it is 200GB, so it is big

 

[clarky]

You might be onto something there. Although with everything installed its a hell of a lot bigger than that, closer to 500gb i think.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Want Gears games and want them done right.
Even though I think part of this will happen eventually...

I think it's going to be Starfield and Forza so a double announcement.

Disregarding the reception it is the first new ip by the makers of Skyrim and its not on playstation.

You Xbox fans are really overrating Xbox' library.

And, You Sony guys are always downplaying Xbox games then they come to the Playstation platform and sell millions to the PS owners who arent warring on forums. Probably, sell to the ones that are warring as well. It's funny to see all the hostility and then Xbox games become the number 1 selling games on PS.

It's cute.

 

[Dictattor]

It's fucking Flight Simulator

Meanwhile, you're forgetting that millions of PS owners are former Xbox owners, so obviously there is a demographic for their games.

There is no hostility though, just a discussion about mediocre 3rd party games.

Which game went to No1? Sea of Thieves has done well (I bought it) but what other game has sold well?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Both Sea oF Thieves and Grounded have performed well. Sea of thieves was a monster hit.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Monster hit?

Any numbers to back that up? It probably sold decently, but that's relative.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

If PS5 gets a sales boost this holiday, this game will likely be the reason.

FH5 would drive console sales for sure!

 

[TheGodfather07]

Perform well how? We have no actual numbers to go off so how do you even come to this conclusion?

 

[Mownoc]

FH5 would drive console sales for sure!

Why would a 4 year old game drive console sales? If people didn't buy an Xbox or PC to play it in the first 4 years why would it coming to PS5 suddenly make them drop $500 on a new console?

It will do well on PS5 with existing users jumping in but saying it will make people drop money on new hardware is crazy. It's a 4 year old game already available on multiple other platforms.

Exclusives sell hardware, massive third party launches sell hardware, late ports of old games do not sell hardware.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Sure Jan

Do you not understand the difference between 'waiting for a game' and 'making fun of fanboys who were enjoying when Bethesda games briefly went exclusive'?

Case in point: Still hasn't bought Hi-Fi Rush on PS5. Haven't bought Hi-Fi Rush since its launch, which I could have day one on Steam.

I guess that facade has fallen again.

But but Sony is releasing their games a year later on PC! It's totally the same thing as releasing on a competitors console! Lmao

It's really something to behold. The backpeddling, the memory loss, the "everybody knew that already".

Xbox Gaf, are going through the feels this year.

You're welcome.

Now that's out the way, let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming in time for the weekend.

Their responses to Xbox rumors or decisions, is more entertaining than the actual games released on the platform. In my opinion.

 

[nemiroff]

Lol its going to be Halo? That being in the showcase could literally kill a few posters from here

If a handful of fools (no matter the side) are upset about games becoming accessible to a wider audience, then I say good f'in riddance. Exclusivity is not a consumer-friendly concept, so its decline is a welcome change.

 

[Klayzer]

It's just tales from his.....

To be fair though, Sea of Thieves are in the top ten of sales in the US for the year, according to Circana. (NPD)

 

[kazuyamishima]

A lot of Xbox users seem to be pissed about these news, they are threatening to go PC or PS.

Dark and convulsed times at Xbox.

 

[Elios83]

You're welcome.

the delusion of these people is truly something else. Detached from reality they continue to move the goalposts without realizing they're not on the field anymore

Fair enough and give him that, but a monster hit? Not really. But we all know why he describes it as such like FH5 take.

You have to weed out, the typical overhyped spin by Xbox fans on here to get to the facts.

Sometimes it's hard because they pretend to be "neutral" but more often than not, you can see through the BS especially if you've been here long enough.

As somebody who bought HiFi Rush on Steam, you are not missing annything, unless you are a big fan of Sega type games. Of all the games discussed, FH5 is old AF and will face licensing issues sooner than later. Flight Simulator will sell as well as Pentiment did on PS5. HB2 is such a failure that inspite of being on sale right now on Steam, there hasn't been an appreciable bump in player numbers. It will do well on PS5 if they release it at 20$, otherwise they might as well burn the port money for all the good it will do to their bottom line.

The only port I can see being successful is Starfield if released as GoTY edition for 70$.

 

[TrippleA345]

ohhh xbots.... let it goooo

 

[CityHunter1981]

Hellblade 2???

Oh sorry, I forgot it is supposed to be a big game.

 

[King Dazzar]

FH5 would drive console sales for sure!

I'm not confident with them releasing the game on PS5, when its already several years into its time limited licensing agreement.
