I disagree about gow, the problem isn't a game being 30 hours, a game can be 60 or even 200 hours and that's fine, like Skyrim or TW3. The thing is when it's unnecessary 30 hours, gow is a masterpice and there is absolutely nothing in the game that i would like to change or remove. But for TLOU2 there are some great moments, but there were some that weren't that great, so many moment where you just walk and do nothing else.
Uncharted 4 has a bit of that too, i loved the game, tho the starting is so slow, that it's the only Uncharted i have never replayed.

lol yep. What momentum? Just launching the most powerful and least powerful console isnt momentum. If that was the case then x1x wouldve started that momentum like you said.
The fact of the matter is that they havent produced a GOTY contender in over a decade. Mass Effect 2 was the last truly great AAA xbox exclusive to win GOTYs. Their first party havent won anything since like Halo 3 and Gears 1 dating back to 2006 and 2007. I would say they need to produce at least two GOTY contenders in two consecutive years to say they now have momentum.
I dont disagree that they will eventually have momentum. Starfield and Elder Scrolls are bound to be goty contenders when they come out. Same with the next Doom. But right now? I just dont see it. I think if Starfield comes out this year and Halo ends up delivering, they will have two GOTY contenders and thats when you can say the tide has turned. Then hopefully next year they will have some more AAA games like Avowed, Fable and Perfect Dark and we can finally say the momentum is with xbox now. The future is bright but im not seeing any momentum.
One way they can claim some mindshare from Sony is by having a kickass E3 conference. Not that CGi fest trash they had last year or even the cinematic trailer heavy show Sony went with. I want to be blown away by new games. I think part of the reason people arent excited about the Bethesda acquisition is because we havent seen what Starfield looks like. We dont know if its amazing. If it revolutionizes Space RPGs. Same goes with elder scrolls. I want to see what next gen Skyrim looks and plays like. What will the new CPU bring to Skyrim? Or Fable for that matter? What is Avowed doing that is so incredible that I should throw my ps5 to the curb and buy an xsx? Is Perfect Dark going to make Uncharted 4 look like Outriders?
Both Sony and MS are guilty of this tbh. We have been shown absolutely fucking nothing when it comes to next gen and are told to be excited for next gen or new studio acquisitions, gamepass and in GOW2's case just a promise of things to come. I just cant be excited about games that may or may not come in 2023 and 2024, that may or may not have any new next gen gameplay.
Id say neither side has momentum.

Can only speak for Assassins Creed Valhalla
It's the general buggyness of the game, the animations (especially combat, which is janky itself) are just off putting and the AI

I believe zeni went to Sony first. It falls in line with the rumors of their next ip. Sony probly wasn't interested in their portfolio and passed.
That's why I don't understand the deal currently because they would get the games regardless. They lose out on potential sales by keeping it on Xbox because already the PS5 is out selling their system so what's the point? I almost feel like MS looks at their acquisitions as "we got you now but if your ip don't get enough downloads we will cancel you".
Likewise, anything is indie if it serves whatever narrative you're peddling. It's all part of the plan.

He has MS stock. Gotta lie on this forum just like daddy phil been lyin to all their fans."Business is business".
But he fails to see his own hyprocisy (which is actually very common) that the IP rights holder is allowed to do anything they want with the IP, so if they decided to take the cash and approve the timed exclusivity. How is that any different? 'Business is business' after all.
At least with timed exclusive the game will be accessible to all eventually.
But apparently this is far worse and anti consumer.
If that’s not a beatdown, I don’t know what is.It's not exactly hard to search in this place dude. But I'm afraid you did..
Certainly were defending Kinect hard back then!
Never going to drop it, how did that prediction work out?
Didn't even see the issue with the price hike.
So.. 2 for 2.
What do you think the money for timed exclusivity is used for? Is that not going to be money that is reinvested into the company? Or cover development costs?
Your argument is truly pitiful. Just because you want to defend Microsoft, anything they do, is all ok. Sad.

No it's AAAA.
It's just one of many "AAAA" titles coming to or already on Gamepass!
The other is this.
The Initiative’s first game — What’s the so-called ‘AAAA’ studio making?
The Initiative is probably not making a Perfect Dark. At least, not exactly. The Xbox blockbuster studio is instead dabbling in the game's universe.

At long last, Undertale is coming to Xbox! For the first time ever, players on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S will have the chance to experience one of indie gaming’s most beloved role-playing games when it launches on Xbox Game Pass tomorrow, March 16. As many of you know, Undertale isn’t exactly...

Undertale comes finally to Xbox 3,5 years after the first console release and over 5 years after PC release...

It's like Dreams, but actually super successful. Kids adore it. I never tried it myself, but the concept sounds cool. Users built thousands of fun games (and got paid a comission for it) so there's basically endless fun to be had.

TBH me too... I really asked myself, why they didnt released it much earlier.I am surprised it wasn't already on there
Afaik last year it was on Gamepass PC for serveral months.
I really hope that the praises the game received are true, because somehow I managed to avoid nearly all spoilers for it and now want to try it out

Honestly I've seen it from both sides. I see pages dedicated to doing PR for PS5 and it's super cringe. They're not even getting a penny to promote their favourite corporation, it's sad. Although I'm not negating people who do artwork for upcoming or current games.
I was going to say something similar, DF's narrative will changing depending on what happens with Xbox. Seen it a few times already.

I have to agree Klob is rather cringeworthy. My only hope is he is just doing this for practice to further his real marketing career and this is a fun hobby to do it with.

MS has fantastic outreach. They show up on fan podcasts to answer questions and interact with the fans. That goes a long way in building excitement and loyalty to the brand. Here is one with Jason Ronald. It would be cool if Mark Cerny did something similar with Sony fans.

Pardon me if I prefer companies investing in studios to create new IPs than locking multiplatform franchises out of userbases.

No thanks. I would rather Sony developers and executives focus on continuing to release top tier PS games instead talking so damn much and doing PR talk. I like quite Sony. When they’re ready to show and tell it makes it that much better.
That’s the problem with MS, they do a lot of talking and showing off and the end results almost never match the hype. This is the exact thing Xbox fans do. Brag, brag, brag, brag. Then they end up getting mocked. As I always say about Xbox......All hype no substance.

Yup, it sure did.It become AAA the moment they announced it to Gamepass
Before that nobody said in this forum it was AAA.
That is how things works here lol
Before Gamepass = Game looks like trash, ps3 graphics
After Gamepass Day 1 announcement = AAA game, can't wait!
Receipt below.
Outriders Demo - PS5 and Series X graphics and performance comparison
Both versions are running at native 4k, PS5 has better lighting, Xbox series X struggling to hold 60fps!

I bet you were enraged when Street Fighter V and FF 7 Remake were blocked from Xbox. Enraged I tells ya! On the positive I'm pretty sure MS's move with Zenimax IS an investment since they are now a MS first party studio.

You know the majority of new games isn't released on Gamepass day one, don't you? Service is around since 2017, but NOW is the time 'the tides will turn'...

Sony paid for the development costs. So.. like.. why.. would it be on Xbox?
If the IP holder thinks it's a good deal, it's upto them. Blame Capcom.

Oh shit!
Xboxes are still available after +10 hours. Both versions of PS5 of course, were sold out fast. What's happening with Xbox? Scalpers already have full warehouses? Normal people won't buy it? They are waiting for price cut? They want 2 years of free GPU sub?

I just can't get over the fact that Series S is playing my favourite games (The Division 2 and Fallout 4) at 60FPS and I have access to Fight Night (one of my fav 360 games).
The menu's, game loading (switching) is buttery smooth.
There's fuckall noise from the console. I genuinely have not heard this thing actually run since I got it. You hit the Xbox button and its on in a sec.
I'm switching between games in seconds. Hop in, hop out. Hope here and there without hiccups.
I am fucking LOVING THIS.

First of all, these 2 games were NEVER announced as multiplatform titles. So, you can't say at all they were blocked from Xbox. Rise Of The Tomb Raider was announced as multiplatform title on blog of Phil Rogers ( CEO of SQE Europe/America) 8 years ago

PS5 is still selling out in mere seconds, under a minute when stock is available to USA. Although anyone looking should know they've been dropping for four days straight.
Usually they'll sell out and then add more about 5 to 10 minutes later.

My son likes to play Roblox. I can’t understand the appeal. It looks terrible and controls are the worst. It is also very buggy. He will get stuck (he’s 6) and I have to help him and I am always disgusted. Seems like such a trash game to me.
