18:05 of podcast. Andy Robinson confirms day 1 on PS5

 

[Sebastian1295]

They have to make there money back somehow. There's no way that releasing a game with a development length as long as this one was going to make profit releasing only on gamepass/xbox day 1.

[Sebastian1295]

Japan are big fans of the xbox as you can tell.

 

[Fbh]

"Hey Phil was it very crowded at the store?"

"Nah. I'd say there were maybe 4 people"

The store

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks like they are confident in the product.

They have something substantial if PS5 porting is already happening.

PS5 porting is already in progress on every game they have. FH6 is only not going to be day one because they haven't got it ready in time as it was already late in development when they went multiplatform.

Looks like they are confident in the product.

I'd put it down to not selling on Xbox, and having no choice but to cater to other platforms where they can actually sell their games.

They need to have a game first. That will likely be competent at least.

Fable I had written off as vapourware.

Apparently thats not the case.

 

[unlurkified]

Gears E-Day better be day and date too or I riot.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

May get it on PS5 depending on PC optimization.

Actually, may just sub to gamepass for a month to play it on PC and then wait for a $30 price on PS5.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Gears E-Day better be day and date too or I riot.

It should be. UE5 makes that much easier to port. If Halo is day 1 PS5, so will Gears

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

It could just as well be that they don't want to kneecap Fable PS5 sales by releasing it later after the hype dies down and reality sets in.

I don't think you can infer anything about the quality.

Yeah MS very clearly overestimates how good their own games are. Day and date is their best play for max sales.

It's a shame that is the case, but that's the consequences of incompetence

I still don't think it comes out till 2027. Only reason it is at upcoming Direct, imo, is because it would look really bad if Playground Games only showed recently announced Forza 6, but not the game they have been showing for 5+ years

There have been a ton of concerning rumors, specifically whether the Forza tech engine is compatible with an RPG game. Past talks of switching to UE5

 

[J Required]

MS put themselves in this position, $70B needs to be recouped as fast as possible.

 

[Xtib81]

Best move if they want this game to be profitable.

 

[Black_Stride]

Im just waiting to see all the PS players who vehemently were against Fable who end up getting the game day one anyway on PS5.
The console wars are dead, its time to come together and just enjoy games.
A bad game is a bad game a good game is a good game regardless of who is making it.


Microsoft is gonna be charting heavily on the PlayStation 5 charts again this year.

 

[Kikorin]

Assuming this is ever releasing, this is a good news since I own a PS5.

 

[clarky]

Isn't the direct specifically for games releasing in the calendar year?

The summer thing is for stuff further out.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Six years in the making. Can't wait. I'm confident Playground will deliver on the hype.

 

[Sephimoth]

MS couldn't even give Xbox owners a month in advance? After them loyally surviving on hopium for over a decade?

 

[Kerotan]

Didn't he say "I imagine it's day and date".

Usually these shows are for 3-4 games that are going to release this year.

Yes. I am just skeptical. At best it releases in the Fall, but Microsoft should have Gears, Call of Duty, possibly Clockwork Revolutions coming out in the Fall. Alongside GTA 6, if it releases. Fable will be the game that gets pushed, imo

Find out in a couple of weeks I guess. My bet is September but December like Indy is also a possibility, could be a nice Christmas game.

 

[HRK69]

I like to hate

But I can't bring myself to hate this

 

[Cakeboxer]

This step was long overdue, it's good that they finally took it.

 

[owandeseis]

MS better releases it day 1, it looked kinda like Hogwarts, the most consoleish game MS has released recently with Forza Horizon, and we know sales on Xbox are meh, so it needs to be on PS5 day 1

Event Platform  Thread 'The Xbox Developer Direct will feature a secret unannounced fourth indie game, Fable in development for PS5'

Friday at 1:56 PM

The Xbox Developer Direct will feature a secret unannounced fourth game | VGC

VGC understands the fourth title is a promising indie game…

www.videogameschronicle.com

Now it's claimed that the show won't only feature those three games. According to Shinobi602, who has a history of reporting confidential information about upcoming games, the show will feature "a 'secret' fourth game."

VGC can corroborate this and understands that the fourth game is a promising indie title from a third-party publisher.

Fable was announced in 2020 as part of the Xbox Games Showcase. The game, which is a reboot of the Lionhead RPG series, doesn't...

What a great body


The last step of the end of Xbox as a plattform, when even such titles coming day to PS5.
Game Pass without the PS5 and later PS6 userbase as potential customers doesn't make any more sense, because the next Xbox hardware will be dead at arrival at this point.
What i can imagine is some kind of "Game Pass Core" for PS Plus, like Ubisoft+ Classic.
But the whole Game Pass is inconsistent with Sonys own service.

 

[Black_Stride]

May get it on PS5 depending on PC optimization.

Actually, may just sub to gamepass for a month to play it on PC and then wait for a $30 price on PS5.

ForzaTech from Playground is super performant on PC, Id think they get it right considering Forza Horizon is already openworld I dont think we would suffer from traversal stuttering.

I would hope the game takes me longer than a month to get through properly too.



The DevDirect is what 2 weeks away.......give it to us!

 

[DenchDeckard]

This is great news. I don't think the game stood a chance from nancially if it wasnt for ps5 physical sales

 

[Lootlord]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It'll all be day and date before long.

 

[Rambone]

I am ready to begin my Fable adventure on PS5, let's GO!

That main protagonist tho.....

 

[Pantz]

"i mean i don't know, i imagine it is"
Strong confirmation.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

It's true. Druckmann immediately lobbied for it upon seeing the protagonist.

 

[Black_Stride]

"i mean i don't know, i imagine it is"
Strong confirmation.

I mean he started stumbling over his words almost immediately after he was ask "is it?".

So either he doesn't know and is just guessing since the official announcement already said it IS coming to PS5........or someone actually told him and he just realized that he might have leaked information that was supposed to be confidential so now he is backpeddling it hoping every gaming site on the planet doesn't write an article about it.

So Steam isn't profitable for them? Surprising…

 

[Sebastian1295]

So Steam isn't profitable for them? Surprising…

Most people will just play it on PC gamepass and then cancel after a month. I doubt it'll sell big on steam at all.

 

[Horseganador]

That would be the most logical thing to do; they need PS5 to make development profitable. FH6 should also be released on day one, not months later.

Nah the war isn't over, it's just transitioning to console vs PC, it's been obvious for awhile now. Watch how core PlayStation fans talk about PC and Windows, and how core Xbox fans talk about PC and Sony delaying PC ports. And Steam Machine is a new challenger, console warriors from all sides will show their true colors when that one launches, Gabe will go nomnom on everybody's cake very soon.

You're on GAF and have never heard of Steam/PC before?

 

[Botan32]

Normal Xbox is a third-party publisher.

If a game isn't released on PS5 on day one, it's simply because development of that version started too late.

 

[Fable]

This kind of beauty should be available for all to play.

 

[adamsapple]

Didn't he say "I imagine it's day and date".

The thirst is real.
