Support NeoGAF

[LakeOf9]

The title I am referring to was met with high critical acclaim, fans loved it, it was in the GOTY conversation the year it released. When the announcement comes I think it's going to be met with a lot of excitement because this is a quality game.

It's at 1:07:06

 

[Flabagast]

So that's not Starfield if I read it right

 

[Edmund]

So that's not Starfield if I read it right

It better not be. Lol.

 

[bender]

Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch.

 

[Yoboman]

Maybe Moon Studios has got the Ori rights?

 

[Punished Miku]

Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch.

Or Pentiment. Those were my guesses

 

[itshutton]

First party….. doesn’t leave many options. Gears?

 

[bender]

Or Pentiment. Those were my guesses

 

[StereoVsn]

Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch.

Could be both Switch and PS5. But yeah, got to be this one.

 

[rofif]

Thats just hifi rush

 

[SpokkX]

Edit: hifi rush yes

Uh… Forza Horizon 5?

Halo Infinite does was not really goty material right?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Pentiment I guess

 

[SJRB]

This is going to be a nothingburger.

 

[GHG]

Pentiment wasn't in any GOTY discussions.

It's one of Flight Sim, Forza horizon or Hi-Fi rush.

 

[Insane Metal]

Forza Motorsport 2023 on PS5.

 

[Shakka43]

Would be funny if it's Redfall.

 

[FUBARx89]

Edit: hifi rush yes

Uh… Forza Horizon 5?

Halo Infinite does was not really goty material right?

Infinite was GAF's game of the year.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I hope its not something silly like Pentiment on Switch

 

[jroc74]

Would be funny if it's Redfall.

Critically acclaimed, in GotY conversation?

It wont be Redfall or Starfield.

 

[SlicedBread3]

Pentiment wasn't in any GOTY discussions.

It's one of Flight Sim, Forza horizon or Hi-Fi rush.

I guess it could also be a PS5 or Switch version of Psychonauts 2?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Definitely HiFi Rush for the Switch. Would love a physical release of this. I wouldn't mind if Pentimento got a release on the Switch too.

 

[cormack12]

Psychonauts 2?

This is a good shout

 

[Godot25]

Hi-Fi Rush on Switch 2

 

[Duchess]

Would be funny if it's Redfall.

Nate actually says it's not Redfall in the video (as both he and MVG start laughing).

Edit: Nate also says that Xbox fans are going to be a little surprised / shocked / annoyed that MS have ported the title in question.

 

[jroc74]

I guess it could also be a PS5 or Switch version of Psychonauts 2?

A PS5 version of Psychonauts 2 would be such a non story.

Just give the PS4 version a next gen update.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

If it's HiFi Rush hopefully it also gets a physical release. It deserves it.

 

[GrayDock]

 

[SlicedBread3]

This is a good shout

The other one that just occured to me is maybe a port of Age of Empires 2?

A PS5 version of Psychonauts 2 would be such a non story.

Just give the PS4 version a next gen update.

Yeah I don't trust the "met with a lot of excitement part". Leakers always over hype these things.

Got my fingers crossed for Hi-fi Rush though.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Hi-Fi Rush on Switch 2 / PS5.

 

[CatLady]

I would think HiFi Rush for the Switch. It's just a game that should be on the Switch.

 

[DarthPutin]

Hi-Fi Rush on Switch will finally actually sell, so that would be good.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'll laugh if it only comes to Switch and not PS5 just out of the spite that MS and their fans constantly have

 

[AtomicStarving]

Pentiment for Switch (and PS5)
Hi-Fi Rush for Switch (and PS5)
Or Forza Horizon for PS5

Or all above

I can't remember any other "critically acclaimed" title on Xbox/PC.

Oh yeah, Flight Simulator for PS5.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Nate actually says it's not Redfall in the video (as both he and MVG start laughing).

Edit: Nate also says that Xbox fans are going to be a little surprised / shocked / annoyed that MS have ported the title in question.

If they reactivate the Backwards Compatability program with classic bangers at the same time I am still going to be ecstatic.

 

[Kikorin]

Put Hi-Fi Rush on a console that deserve it (Switch obv)

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Everybody guessing games and this is my reaction. The implications are rather industry moving, especially since others have said this type of stuff was coming. As Dusk Falls shows this is just the start.

 

[The Last One]

Oh I guess no Xbox 1st party game will release on a competitor plataform in 2024 then.

 

[Roberts]

I can sense some snark regarding Pentiment here but it just about the best and smartly written game ever with an emotional climax that pretty much every game can only dream about.

 

[yurinka]

I can't remember any other "critically acclaimed" title on Xbox/PC.

Oh yeah, Flight Simulator for PS5.

Well, not sure if 87MC with 63 reviews counts as critically acclaimed. And same as Flight Sim, I think it's a good game but never was in the GOTY conversation.

In any case, I think both games are good candidates to be released in non MS consoles.

If it would be an unreleased title, I'd say a Gears remake or some sort of Master Chief Collection but for Gears.

 

[Perrott]

Pentiment would be my bet

 

[jhjfss]

Oblivion/Fallout3 remaster?

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Oblivion/Fallout3 remaster?

Both IPs are already on competing platforms.

 

[adamsapple]

Psychonauts 2 on Switch / Switch 2 makes the most sense.

 

[LakeOf9]

Maybe Moon Studios has got the Ori rights?

Ori is already on Switch

 

[Quantum253]

That would be cool to get the Forza Horizon series on PlayStation. I enjoy arcade exploring-type racing games.
It would be cool to see a Flight X Arcade style too. I fell in love with Smugglers Run and Sky Odyssey on PS2 and would like to see something similar again.

 

[SenkiDala]

Maybe Moon Studios has got the Ori rights?

Ori 1 & 2 are already on the Switch. And there were good games but I never heard anyone talking about it as a GOTY contender.

Same for Hi-Fi Rush, yes it had good reviews and critical acclaim but I never heard about it as a GOTY contender.

Honestly a MS 1st party game that was a GOTY contender...

Starfield no, HiFi Rush no, Ori no, Redfall no comment, Halo Infinite no, Forza Horizon 5 ok why not but a racing game as a goty is pretty weird... Flight Simulator ? Those are awesome games but that's a very specific genre so as a GOTY... I dunno.

Anyway MS is keeping goin the road to become a 3rd party publisher, after Ori, Cuphead, Minecraft Legends, As Dusk Falls...

 

[RedC]

I believe it will be Killer Instinct after it's latest patch to PS5 and Switch 2 with cross-platform play.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Doubt hifi rush would make xbox fans "mad" whatever that means I think it'll have to be something like Forza to piss people off

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch.

This is a solid shout, I reckon it’ll scale well given the visual presentation and would resonate with the demographic.

 

[SneakersSO]

So that's not Starfield if I read it right

Starfield is not the only XGS title that will be ported to competing platform(s) that was released by MS/XGS last year. There are more. In time, the norm will be to have these games release day 1 on all platforms.
