Bro would be calling Zero Dawn and Forbidden West the two greatest games of all time if they were Xbox exclusives lmao.

 

[Clear]

Good move on MS' part. This will do well on Playstation because it fills an untapped niche.

And lets face it, its been out long enough on Xbox for it no longer to make any real difference.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Game over for anyone thinking that MS still had red lines or was holding back some games. The whole slate including Halo will be coming to PS5 shortly. MS is officially a third party publisher.

Rarely do I actually laugh out loud at things posted here, but this is just pure gold!

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

Sony better take an advantage of this situation they're in - Stop announcing PC ports.

You have your main competitor literally handing you their games for free on a platter, you have your own exclusives coming, and you are THE place to play the biggest game of all time, GTA6.

They dont even have to do anything, they just stay winning. Now stop wasting time and energy on these nonsensical PC ports.

PS5 owners aren't buying enough games so they have to port to PC. Wouldn't surprised if they eventually go day and date since it worked so well with Helldivers.

RIP Xbox (you wont be missed)

 

[Bojanglez]

I would prefer 3 or 4 but will buy this when it goes on sale.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Absolutely nothing suggests that. In fact, this thread exists because of the exact opposite.

Felt like I was playing a Mountain Dew racing game

It definitely had a "how do you do fellow zoomers?" vibe about it. But the writing... my god.

"my papi used to make huevos con chorizo for me and then we'd go out racing. Did I tell you I'm mexican btw? I looooove being mexican."

That's the problem is you think Sony created playstation in order to sell first party games. If Sony wanted to just sell as much software as they could they would release their games day and date. They don't because they want to sell the console first and use the games as a way to entice people to buy it. They want the free 30% from doing nothing the way Apple and Google get their money.

The difference with GAAS is you need as many people playing day 1 to maximize your chances of success. GAAS games are much harder to pull off and Sony understands that.

Not double dipping unless there's pro updates.

RIP Xbox

 

[FoxMcChief]

Nah, GT7 is where it's at.

That’s a snoozefest too. Moreso. But I’m sure the VR makes it at least somewhat more enjoyable.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Played a bunch of it on Series X, but it’s a great game and PS owners will enjoy it. Instantly the best racer on the platform.

Bring psvr2 support!

I would probably double dip for this.

 

[Seomel]

I own this on pc, but Im sure as hell double dipping. Forza is great

Hahaha, ive only ever muted the voices and disabled the subtitles in 2 games and they both have the word Horizon in the name.

Yeah the entourage (including radio personalities) is insufferable this time around. I have never skipped cutscenes so fast in my life. I did get a bit of a laugh out of the Donut Media stuff though. The donut van is also the best S1-Class Track Toy vehicle in terms of handling in my opinion.

 

[Tommi84]

No need to play this game on gamepass then. Wish it was FH4 though :/

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

Absolutely nothing suggests that. In fact, this thread exists because of the exact opposite.

98% of PS5 owners didn't buy the 2024 GOTY. Square now no longer interested in exclusivity deals. Sony showing no signs of stopping the ports to PC.

This thread exists because Microsoft also needs to access more customers.

 

[ToadMan]

I couldn’t get into it on Xbox.

Felt like I was playing a Mountain Dew racing game with zoomer art style

Maybe I should have given it a better chance

I felt the same.

Couldn't get into it and found it a bit tedious. In fact it made me miss motorstorm!

But anyway, I think it fills a nice space in the PS line up so good for MS finally waking up.

Personally if I buy it at all, it'll have to have good PS5 Pro support and be on a discount. It was on GP when I played it - basically cost me nothing and I'm bringing that same energy to releases from Xbox even when they find their way to PS

 

[AtomicStarving]

Still one of my favorite. Intro got me chills. Fuck MS for removing that game from sale, even the other old ones, like FH2, also amazing. For a company that preached "preservation", fuck them.

they will probably try to emulate what the impulse triggers on Xbox do.
not sure how well that will work tho, as it's meant to give you subtle feedback for when your grip is slipping.

Impulse triggers aren't in the same ballpark, not even close.

There's a decent dualsense mod for the PC version that makes use of most of the features (and you can customise the strength), but it relies on 3rd party software and I'd rather have native support that's of a similar standard.

So PS5 owners buy COD and not much else? lol

 

[metareferential]

That's a great news for PS, since Sony fucked up with Driveclub.

Horizon is an incredible arcade racer.

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn this is huge.

Is MS really just killing XBox?

 

[reinking]

I mean, it writes itself. I thought it was kind of funny.

you can't directly emulate the way impulse triggers work on the DualSense tho.
if they push against you you'll lose the fine control of your throttle and breaks.

the impulse trigger vibration on the Xbox controller in Forza is only there to give you feedback on your tire grip.
I don't like how GT7 uses the Dualsense triggers for example, so I wouldn't want them to use them that way.

Yeah, sure.

[No BBC=Anger]

Fun racing but some players might want to mute the characters inane non-stop chatter.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

They don’t want to, but it’s expendable in the greater scheme of things.

 

[//DEVIL//]

That damn Hermen Hulst keep forcing Horizon on us

It’s like he has a fetich with horizon word

What are you talking about?

The dualsense triggers also have the vibration function built in to them, it's not just resistance.

 

[Hookshot]

The guy who leaked this in November is saying it'll be on Switch 2 as well, which is odd that Microsoft haven't said anything. There's no need for them to wait until April as well as Nintendo.

Waiting for the dedicated Switch 2 Direct, I assume.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

I need Flight Sim

 

[Scrawnton]

Played it on XSX. Sold my XSX when Xbox went third party last year. Will be getting this day one.

 

[RedC]

Hopefully it's PS5 Pro Enhanced.

Would kill for it to work with PSVR2.

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

Yeah, sure.

Well there aren't any numbers other than COD at the top. Was that supposed to refute my comment? lol

Anyways, Sony ports to PC because they need to so that's not going anywhere. Which is nice for people like me so thanks for not buying your games.

 

[LectureMaster]

Enjoy this amazing game PS Bros.

Astro Bot (8th) sold more than a game that released on two platforms in December (Indiana Jones). Doing pretty well.

Im curious if AstroBot has sold as much in Nov + Dec + Oct as it did in its launch month

Probably more at this point, hopefully get more info when Sony releases their financials

 

[OGM_Madness]

Love that the developer is called Panic Button.

“Sales are stagnant! Quick, press the Panic Button!!!”

Microsoft finally waiving the white flag.

You lost Xbros! Kneel for you new overlords.

"RIP Xbox"

2001-2025

You anit no overlord! Your game is in the trashcan long forgotten. They had to get a real driving/racing game to replace it.

 

[kevboard]

they don't. the "vibration" you feel are the motors pushing against you.
the Dualsense triggers are comprised of a rubber membrane to measure how much they are depressed, and a motor that turns a gear which gives resistance to your trigger by moving a soft trigger-stop upwards.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Welp, it begins. This is an ACTUAL first party game that's been exclusive for 20 years on Xbox. Indiana Jones wasn't really shocking b/c we all know it was being made for PS5 before MS bought Bethesda. This however is actually a gravitational shift in policy for Xbox. This is the beginning of the end. Starfield, Gears and then Halo up next IMO.

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

Astro Bot was GOTY and wasn't played by 98% of PS5 owners. Trying to compare sales with a game that's primarily accessed via a sub service isn't the own you think it is.

 

[Kerotan]

I'm glad they did the Horizon series and not just Forza. Because Gran Turismo has me satisfied there. This arcadey take could fill the driveclub itch.

I'm kinda sad though because the only Xbox/PC game I want is an age of mythology 2 port but it's so niche they might not bother.

Forza horizon 5 will do big numbers on playstation.
