Phil Spencer: XGS titles for the “next couple of years” will be cross-gen

Good for you. I really didnt care to see all the concern trolling from you lot the past year, but i still had to see it in every Xbox thread.
Karma is a bitch isnt it.
Remember when everyone was like Series X is huge and then PS5 went "Hold my beer" its been a folly of ages ever since.

Literally a circus couldn't have written it better.

They did and everyone championed it until today. Surely coming as no surprise to you, no matter how unassuming you'd like to appear.

I'm overly optimistic that all the games Xbox is giving me with 120 fps updates for free are better than your remakes you are about to pay 70.00 for.

The fact that they are charging 20.00 for a Spider-Man PS4 upgrade says about all you can expect from BC on your PS5.

Enjoy.

I see a lot of articles arguing about whether or not it's stand alone. It's often referred to as a PS5 game, while excluding PS4 is misleading it's not a lie, it IS a PS5 game. I don't see anyone saying what it does is impossible on PS4 and therefore that version can't exist like with Ratchet... though the ray-tracing wouldn't be possible on PS4 so maybe they said it about that? Not really finding it. I think people should have been expecting this because from what I see they never say "Playstation 5 exclusive" in these articles, they say "Playstation 5 game". I'm not sure what games I'm buying when, btw, assuming I can get a launch PS5 I'll certainly buy Demon's Souls.

I see the goal posts moving. I'm not even going to try and pretend because you participated in those threads.

You can try to pretend people didn't get piled on for saying PS4 expansion or whatever, but you know it's true.

Let's not move the goal posts to far too quickly now.

??? You're not trying to argue what posters on NeoGAF interpreted to be the same as an actual announcement by the devs are you? Yeah, I do know people got piled on for calling it an expansion... so? I'm trying to connect this to the idea that anyone working on it promised it'd be next-gen only or what it does could only be done on next-gen and it isn't clicking for me. It doesn't really matter what NeoGAF assumes based on information received. People currently assume Demon's Souls MUST be coming to PC because of an error at SONY's show. Hey, maybe they'll be right, maybe they'll be wrong, it's called speculation and I would assume the threads you cite are rife with the same sort of thing. The second we got a trailer for the game I distinctly remember even SONY Ponies saying it looks like an expansion more than its own game. Then Insomniac came out and said it's a stand-alone game akin' to Lost Legacy. I'm not seeing them say the game is impossible to have work on a PS4.

Let me ask you, who else would have put that slide in at Sony's show if not them?

This shit is getting crazy now.

We're talking about Demon's Souls now? I thought this was about Miles Morales? I dunno man, who put the Starbucks cup in the Game of Thrones episode, MUST HAVE BEEN DELIBERATE! I'll admit the possibility exists the game is meant to come to other platforms and this wasn't the right time, but the problem with that theory is the slide seemed to indicate PC was simultaneous, were that true why would they hide it? It seems weird, almost as weird as them putting an IP they own onto other platforms like XBOX.
 
He never did look like a tool, he looked like someone that has been around for generation transitions before and knows how they work so was actually being upfront about it, unlike sony and the people on here.

Up until Sony's showcase, this narrative was never pushed. The "Craig" memes, and compromising to the lowest common denominator "Series S". Had Horizon: FW stayed exclusive to PS5, you'd realize this would be a massive egg in Phil's face. He probably evaluated on the cost-benefit risks with his studios and stuck with a statement that eventually paid off; understandably, as SONY is ahead in terms of AAA exclusive tech and output.

Let's not be mistaken here, Sony is the one that dropped the ball which is making Phil look like the sensible guy.
 
Not really, I thought it was obvious what games I was talking about so i just didn't type the names, but let me reiterate. It's super shitty they mislead people on HFW and Spiderman being PS5 only. i don't see how it refutes my point that they believe in generations as they have several big next gen exclusives coming and one at launch.



Demon's Souls coming to pc and other consoles was stated as nothing but an error, I suppose it could happen in 5 years or something. I don't really see any big deal of them not plastering "PS5 EXCLUSIVE" over the GoW teaser and it was later oficiall confirmed as one..

Also I wasn't saying Demon's Souls looks good compared to the original. I think it just look phenomenal compared to anything out right now. I get not being hype if you played the original but graphically it looks like a great example of next gen.

They totally mislead people that HFW and Spiderman were PS5 only, However they have announced many big Next Gen exclusives that are coming this year and next which is why I don't think they are near the level of Microsoft.

I honestly hate that it sounds like I'm downplaying how fucked up it was for them to mislead people on HFW but i'm simply more focused on people acting like Sony suddenly doesn't have several big next gen exclusives coming from their studios.
Want to make a permanent account ban bet that HZ2 and the next GOW will not both be released in 2021 ? Oh and there was nothing phenomenal in the demon's souls remake apart from the awful animations.

Honestly, reading these threads is the most fun I've had on a gaming forum for 10 years haha. So many fanboys just made themselves look like complete idiots all in the name of console warring and defending their favourite piece of plastics honour lol.

Today is a great day in gaf History. So many diehard Sony fans have just conspicuously gone missing today lol

Another golden thread after last night. All of the Sony fanboys saying there is no point in getting a XSX because of this wont be getting a PS5 now right? :messenger_winking_tongue:
 
Eh it's not really much different to any other gen. Most launch games are always cross gen. Devs just don't have enough time or money to make next gen exclusives for the first year or 2.

Are people forgetting the pathetic PS4 launch year of first party games?
🙄 Mmmhhmmm .like I said ....embarrassing.

Why? when did I say that there is no chance of games getting delays? this has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

The lighting and environments in the Demon's Souls trailer was next level.
 
Entire incorrect platforms being announced for release at a major conference?

Calling that a "typo" is ridiculous.

It looks like they used the prewritten info for Death loop and just put it on Demon's Souls by mistake, The fact that they also mentioned "other consoles" makes it really clear it's a mistake, unless you really think it's coming to switch.
Additionally yes, we have seen wrong platforms being announced at E3 several times.

PS4 is another console.

What wrong platforms for big first party games have we seen announced at E3 before?

That tag and what you're doing hahaha so good.

What am I doing? I'm saying that right now there are 3 major first party games that are next gen exclusives. This is what's been stated and trying to say otherwise is just speculation based on (sony bad). If anyone's bias is showing here it's yours.

So to put the speculation aside, Demon's Souls is confirmed to be an exclusive as is RnC. Sony has not gone back on their word when it comes to delivering next gen exclusives. If you have any actual confirmation that these exclusives don't exist then let me know.

Edit: oh now it seems I'm was totally wrong about everything

A PS3 game is a PS5 next gen exclusive...................?

Demon's Souls will come to PC as well. If you seriously believe that the Coming to PC bit was a mistake I don't know what to say.
