MS: Sony as an experienced, leading platform holder could make a CoD rival

MS:

Sony should have partnered with this devs and remove the nfts.
This trailer seems to be promosing, if you can ignore the nft part.

What does Fairgames' reveal trailer have to do with CoD competition?

There's basically no comparison between the games other than both being GAAS.

Its about MS quote of them saying Sony can make a cod competitive game.
Yeah but like, Fairgames isn't even trying to be anything COD?

I don't think that Sony would try doing a true COD competitor for now anyways.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Well.....at least I can come here to clear my mind and get away from talk about the showcase.....wait....what the fuck?

Oh No Fire GIF

Would you rather the show case talk seep in here or the acquisition talk seep into the showcase thread ? :p

This is better IMO, lol.

It's funny usually MS goes first with Xbox games Show and its Sony that chimes in saying "yea that's coming to PS too". The shoe is on the other foot this year. Xbox announcing many of those PS show games are coming to Xbox too. MS really has a chance to shine if they do this right. They have access to so many IP's now. It's time to show some of this stuff from 2018!

Question given the ABK deal is still on?.?. Will MS show anything from ABK at this show? Place your bets... Sony didn't show COD at the show and that was interesting....

It's a massive IF to be honest. if Xbox showed what Playstation just showed, I'd actually be mildly impressed (because that's how low my expectations are for team green).

They have a pretty low bar to beat now given that abysmal Showcase, but based on their track record I'm still going into the Xbox event expecting shit and hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Man, I wish I still had your optimism :)

Last showing, Microsoft had Diablo IV front and center. I imagine until the deal is killed, that'll continue.

New CODs are now revealed during dedicated Call of Duty events. Has been the case for several years now.

Still has Sony's marketing though.

If that also fails then I 100% become a Nintendobot.

Considering the switch is the first piece of Nintendo hardware I've ever purchased, that's not something I anticipated coming into this year.

The problem is that current day Xbox don't even seem to be capable of putting up a challenge, even for "arrogant Sony".

I think we're fucked as far as this generation is concerned.

The most entertaining thing so far has been this acquisition.

It will be better if you stick to PC mainly.
While Nintendo first party games are great, it's still limited amount and won't be satisfying you.

PC is getting a lot of good mmos lately.

See this is the problem, I hate MMOs, I hate GAAS (apart from for sim racing , which is very niche and specific), I hate all things online coop.

I'm a dying relic, clearly.
