Did I miss something??



We're live!

 

[Varteras]

Helldivers 2 on Xbox. Well this is awkward...

 

[GHG]

Current Sony management are actually the dumbest motherfuckers.

Now I see why Xbox waited until yesterday.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

you got to have Helldivers 2 on Xbox.....

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Current Sony management are actually the dumbest motherfuckers.

It's a service title akin of minecraft, I see no biggie whatsoever.

 

[Skifi28]

The timing is impeccable.

 

[lh032]

its a live service title, meh

 

[LordCBH]

Dafuq lmao

 

[Dane]

Phil and Arrowhead have power over Sony, it's over

 

[GHG]

Lmao the stream is already over. That was it, no new content drop, nothing.

It's a service title akin of minecraft, I see no biggie whatsoever.

Considering the current situation Sony should be giving away absolutely nothing. Do you think Nintendo would? Hell, do you even think Xbox would if roles were reversed?

They've fucked up this gen so bad that they need to go to Xbox for some crumbs.

 

[Varteras]

Thanks mods for doing me a solid and making it look like I broke the news on GAF instead of being just really confused why there was a stream.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Current Sony management are actually the dumbest motherfuckers.

Now I see why Xbox waited until yesterday.

Both fighting with each other on who is the dumbest.

 

[Astray]

All about that paper lol.

There's a Xbox podcaster that kept talking about it dropping on Xbox for almost a year now lol, guess he's feeling good today.

 

[ToadMan]

Man, talk about interrupting your enemy while they're making a mistake.

I actually would like to see if they can get it onto Switch 2 as well.

 

[Kilau]

Game pass?

 

[cebri.one]

I think is great to keep the game going and will bring additional cash to Sony. No gp bullshit.

 

[Loomy]

Current Sony management are actually the dumbest motherfuckers.

This is a good thing. More players means more fun, more money for Sony and Arrowhead. This is a win win win. Live service games shouldn't be exclusive.

 

[Mownoc]

They'll quickly learn no one on Xbox buys games.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Does Sony not read GAF? Apparently no one buys games on Xbox.

 

[jm89]

Yup. The leadership should be taking advantage of the xbox fuck ups instead they join them.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Sony owns the Helldivers IP, but they don't own Arrowhead. I wonder who pushed for this.

I know that Xbox owners really wanted this game but I'm surprised it's happening.

 

[Roman Empire]

I don't see a problem here, helldivers 2 needs more players.

 

[GHG]

Both fighting with each other on who is the dumbest.

They also managed to lose Arrowhead in the process of all of this.

All that live service push and they lose the one dev that managed to deliver something meaningful.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

lol holy shit, all them TikTok videos worked huh

 

[MayauMiao]

I feel like this announcement is damage control.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Almost like Sony felt sorry for MS yesterday lol

 

[digoutyoursoul]

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

This is a good thing. More players means more fun, more money for Sony and Arrowhead. This is a win win win. Live service games shouldn't be exclusive.

For titles like Helldivers 2 there is absolutely no reason to limit their exposure. Especially after full year of exclusivity. Sony actually made all the right calls after Dreams and Concord fiascos.

Same with Minecraft, Marathon and other service titles. I am sure that at one point HD2 will even visit Apple Silicon.

 

[BennyBlanco]

What a weird decision. Switch 2 would make more sense.

 

[LakeOf9]

Great timing!

[analog_future]

This is the weirdest timing lol

They don't own Arrowhead and it never was exclusive. All of my 300+ hours in the game are on Steam.

I'd like to know where this idea that it needs more players is coming from. The active playerbase is huge.

 

[Mattyp]

Wait I was told this would never happen on here? Was I right again?

 

[Boo Who?]

Cool, now make it so I can transfer my PS5 save to PC.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll consider it. Main reason I didn't get it on PS is that PS is horrible.

Glad I waited.

 

[Astray]

This game will sell a ton:

- Not on gamepass but v. reasonably priced (<$60).
- Audience/product fit is excellent.
- Unique experience that is still unmatched from what I've seen.

 

[BennyBlanco]

At least they landed Team LFG and Fairgame$ devs.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I think this is good for the game. It also should come to Switch 2 at some point.

 

[Embearded]

They should be working on giving us a proper Pro version...
I have no idea what Sony is doing, and neither do they. They said they will do it for GaaS though...

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

This doesn't count because, uh, reasons.

When Hermen is releasing their single player games day 1 on Xbox that won't count either.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

This game deserves all the success it can get. After Sony not giving a shit and putting little marketing effort and fucking up with the mandatory psn account.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Stingray is very CPU-heavy so I dunno man

 

[LordCBH]

At least they landed Team LFG and Fairgame$ devs.

Yesterday would have been the best possible day to cancel those projects since Microsoft was sucking up all the negative PR.

 

[Skifi28]

I'll consider it. Main reason I didn't get it on PS is that PS is horrible.

Let's be real, you only have a Playstation so you can keep repeating here that you have a Playstation.

 

[Judge Magister]

What a timing. Here's your Democracy folks!

Also Arrowhead's logo is Xbox's lore accurate:

 

[Mayar]

I'm here to read the comment from - Ass of Can Whooping
I'll sit here and wait, don't pay attention.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably took everyone from the Pro team to work on the optimizations for Series S.

Let's be real, you only have a Playstation so you can keep repeating here that you have a Playstation.

I mean, I bought Astro Bot. I don't really care what you think. I will keep the PS5 for Gravity Rush and a few other things, and I'll have the option of buying anything I need for probably the next 10 years. I expect lots of cross gen next gen. Got the thing before Xbox, so you're wrong.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

How is this a bad thing? Live service titles should be on every platform IMO as you should try to reach the widest audience possible for both player and revenue purposes.

I'll consider it. Main reason I didn't get it on PS is that PS is horrible.

Glad I waited.

You're gonna be a joke forever, aren't you?
