Sony supports communism, got it

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I love the brutal honesty. Very unlike Western devs which is very refreshing to hear. Nobody needs the platform including MS themselves as they’ve totally abandoned it themselves.

Xbox stays being the king of irrelevancy

 

[Fess]

But if the next xbox plays steam games. Will it all of a sudden be easy to develop for xbox?
Will phil spencer stop lying? Will sarah bond smack that booty?

Tune in next week for another exciting episode of The X Files.

Unless Microsoft stumbles on hardware oddities devs won’t develop for Xbox, they just run the PC version on the next Xbox.

But there is talk about ARM so they will probably mess it up that way.

 

[Goalus]

Me thinks you don't know the meaning of eco system.

An ecosystem is a platform where customers can buy und use digital goods in a hardware-transparent manner.

A convoluted mess is a collection of digital stores each of which only work with certain hardware devices. Or even worse, if user accounts are tied to a particular hardware device and need to be "transferred" if the device is exchanged.

Even more convolution is added if digital and physical units of the same product are different SKUs with incompatible user data, or if products that are currently part of a renting service prevent the user who is subscribed to that service from buying said product.

 

[Alan Wake]

Even Xbox agrees.

 

[NEbeast]

I thought that according to some highly respected Gaffers, Xbox is going to make a major comeback in 2026?

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Not necessarily surprised. Asia doesn’t buy Xbox and the rest of the XBox community do not buy and support games. See what happens when you don’t buy and support things XBOX guys? Even Microsoft is abandoning ship. Unfortunately, it was inevitable.

Not all cultures are politically correct to a fault as Christian cultures. And that's fantastic.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Xbox being known to pay studios/publishers just to bring certain games onto their platform sure does them no favours, especially since theyre the smallest and most econimically affordable to skip.

a very overloaded ecosystem for which it is difficult to develop games.

Series S strikes again?

 

[emivita]

One of the developers of Phantom Blade Zero, who wished to remain anonymous, also noted that PlayStation helps a lot of studios in the area of testing. The company provides special debugging tools and even its own engineers. According to him, these employees are also helping with PC optimization alongside the PS5 version.

Wait what, if I understand correctly, is Sony doing what it should be Microsoft's job of helping with PC optimization?

 

[Topher]

Why would that be Microsoft's "job"?

 

[Fabieter]

Just dub your games for the love of God, I'm tired of Chinese NPCs speaking Chinese.

As long as there is Rockstar is still getting away with not dubbing their games, there is no need to blame any other dev to not do it.

 

[Osaka_Boss]

D

Sony is paying devs to not only not put games on other platforms but also bad mouthing them.

Shame.

Time for MS to use this to buy another massive publisher to counter the big bad Sony and then released the same games on PS

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

weird wording. would be interested in seeing a more accurate translation...

I give you a hint...Xbox Series S

 

[SHA]

As long as there is Rockstar is still getting away with not dubbing their games, there is no need to blame any other dev to not do it.

But their games has the potential to surpass devil may cry and even final fantasy.

Rockstar selling better than any other aaa games and they still don't care about dubbing.

But we are living in a different time, everyone wants good games.

I can assure you that gta vi will be be English only. Red dead redemption 2 was English only and people didn't give a fuck.

Oof, that's not the brightest response considering the original sentiment might very well be the result of poor translation.

 

[DragonNCM]

I'm not even convinced there is going to even be another actual Xbox again.

I know they have said as much, but let's be real...they are full of shit 90% of the time.

Yes...there will be many new Xbox consoles but they will be gaming PC's & not traditionally consoles.
This is MS path, play your console & PC games on same device.

 

[mansoor1980]

dont matter what the developer says because..................

 

[thismeinteil]

I mean, he's not wrong either, Xbox doesn't sell well in Asia anywhere.

FTFY

 

[solidus12]

“No, you’re wrong. Xbox is the true console leader.”

Told you

Spoiler

 

[K' Dash]

Well, at least they have an ecosystem - unlike the convoluted mess that their competitors have on offer.

Of all the things they could’ve said, they attack the only feature they’re actually superior to everyone

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Of all the things they could’ve said, they attack the only feature they’re actually superior to everyone

They are referring to the duality of consoles, which is a pain in the butt for devs, so no, that's not a superior feature by any means.

 

[Draugoth]

Draugoth I wasn't able to find any Chinese source about it. If you do, I can help verify if the dev really meant that in the native tongue.

Chinese devs are very fresh newcomers to console publishing, I would be shocked if they really said such thoughtlessly aggressive comments to the press.

Seems people found the source.

"Nobody needs this platform" - The more direct Chinese idiom to English is: No one shows any interest in Xbox. - "无人问津." Some online translators translate it as 'No one needs it (Xbox)'

Someone check Colt Cockwood and the purple forum.

They are not talking about it

So you are tying to give eco system a narrow meaning.

Cool.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

so... it's catching up, if this blows up I bet the studio it's going to offer clarification:

"We want to offer a sincere apology for the misunderstanding caused by a statement made by an alleged employee of our studio. We conducted an extensive investigation and identified the responsible individual. We regret that this person said the quiet part out loud. Unfortunately, it is true and not limited to Asia"

Translation:

Xbox influencers are having a meltdown... If only there was a super blogger committed to finding the truth

Do you mean the same guy that insinuated sony had a deal to keep Black Myth Wukong off of xbox?....Which the same article that this thread is refuting by the way.

 

[Three]

That guy was trying to pretend people were selling their PS5s en masse while wearing an xbox shirt and now he's trying to create a "gamers" uprising because some dev said a lowly platform isn't needed?

So Xbox is to become a steam box.

Got it.
