I guess I fail to see how significant a story this is

Not just this one game, but a shift in strategy for Microsoft signaling that multiple first party games (including Indiana Jones, Starfiled, etc.) coming to other platforms, including PlayStation. That's a massively signficant story.

Unless it comes out as a finished product on ps5 that would hurt!! Even though Xbox would get it also the fact that their experiences wouldn’t be hampered like Xbox has been since launch

>$70 billion in acquisitions with no other way to recoup it made them do this, not wanting everyone at the office to feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Because it's really important that MS is going to put their self-described "Game of the Generation" on Playstation within 1 year of release on its own platform. That alone is explosive news. But it's also the reason "WHY" that makes it a significant story. One of the biggest video game stories in the last 20 years!!!

Yea but do they want it to play the game or to troll Xbox users?

I did. When it was announced, I couldn't wait.
Then MS bought Zenimax, and I was pissed.
Then Starfield finally came out, and I realised I wasn't missing out on anything. If it does happen to turn up on PS5, I'll be skipping it.
Elder Scrolls 6 on the other hand ...

If it ends up including halo or gears, fine that is big news. Starfield was always planned for PlayStation, only coming into question with the buyout. Most of the dev work should have been in the bag already.

Don't feel bad for me. I have an Xbox Series X and a PC.

Colt Eastwood said that even if it released on PS5 Pro it would still be 30 fps, because fanboyism dies hard.

Any more weird than seeing Sonic on Nintendo or seeing Sony promote Shenmue 3? Or Microsoft owning Crash and Spyro and Sony owning Bungie?
Stuff happens in gaming. It is what it is.
Sega wasn't what it once was when it went multiplatform. Crash and Spyro have changed hands from Universal to Vivendi to Activision and to essentially Microsoft. Bungie isn't the same company it was when they were with Microsoft and Halo isn't the same game either.

There were a few on this very site who love to mention Microsoft's valuation and money and were gleefully jizzing away BUT then came the true intentions of MS and they have faded into the shadows crying and reassuring themselves that everything will be OK and MS is our friend.

It will be an infinitely better game once it hits the PS5

Not really. Nintendo games cost nowhere near the same as Sony AAA games. For the cost of one Spiderman 2 Nintendo can probably make 4-5 AAA games easily. Nintendo can probably get away with 1-2 million sales and be very profitable.

I was / am really looking forward to Colin finally playing some xbox games and hearing his honest opinion after the initial "this was what all the fuss was about" fanboy spouting he will do at the start.
I have a lot of respect for that man, and find his opinion, although completely fan driven at times, invaluable.

Will that change as they move away from PS3 graphic/specs?

Writes a lot, says very little
annnnnnnnd this is why they fucked up big time.
They have already lost MILLIONS of sales they would have gotten from many day 1 gamers who wanted it, but shit ....after the reviews on steam, so many reviews, how the fuck is that PS5 port looking now? Consider this, if it was day 1 on all major platforms, you would have bought it on PS5 and shit I probably would have too (granted I own it on PC and buy most of their games on PC anyway lol, but besides the point) a sale was still lost by a consumer that wanted to play it based on wanting to see what it was about.
may be you would have liked it, maybe not, but once the cat is out of the bag and you see that you "wasn't missing out on anything" its too late to regain that spark of interest.
They fucked up already on this one as I'm sure many are in the same boat as you btw. I'm like that a lot of times. Like, OH SHIT, that looks like a fun game, but I don't have any time. I'll wait till a sale (sees its really fucking bad) never mind lol

But there's still risk for Nintendo too. There's a reason they don't make a new Mario Cart game every 3 years.

It's not for Xbox fans to understand, it's up to Xbox management.
Just remember the “Elder Scrolls 6” trailer is going to start with “from the people who brought you Starfield.” Just remember that when you start having FOMO.

Jumped ship way back when to playstation as I realised Microsoft wasn't interested in pursuing single player games or Japanese games.

Starfield is... ok. But it's not ever gonna be a system seller. It's just too much the same Bethesda game with a different skin. If Fallout and skyrim didn't exist maybe it would be but that's obviously not the case.
They can't possibly have made the money they expected. So selling other places is very appealing I'd think. It will never move consoles and it's already over on xbox, so why not.

Since they going third party lets hope that elder scrolls 6 marks a new beginning for the studio, new engine and etc... new writers I hope also ... if is the same thing copy pasted ... dont care ... es 4 and skyrim where excellent but things have to evolve.

Yes because XboxEra are clout chasing nobodies. They should be banned as a source from Gaf.

Did it? They never said this wouldn't go to PS5. These first 4 games will be the test.

It's
It'll come - MS was pretty clear yesterday. But Starfield is a bland game.
It's not the 'exclusivity" that's limiting sales... It's just not interesting, innovative or engaging. If it had been multiplat day one it would have been a better but still underwhelming title for Bethesda. As it is a delayed release will just harm sales now because PS buyers already know it's not great. Best MS can do is to try to get Sony to put it on PS Plus and take the money.
It's good for helping you sleep though - all that ASMR music and walking around empty landscapes really is narcolepsy inducing.

I could care less honestly dude - but Phil's messaging was kind ambiguous and we all know how that's gone down before.

Not really otherwise I would have bought the game.
They were pretty clear that Starfield not coming to other platforms wasn't an impossibility.
If they said never ever I would have accepted that. But they didn't say that so it's definitely possible.
If you got proof otherwise please provide it.

He doesn't have proof. He just has nothing else to say other than we want the game so bad. Just let him have it, it's all they have at this point.
