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

Why would it be emabarassing? You were slinging mud at the MCC and it made you sign in and play it. You went from last played in 2013 to played recently and enjoyed the hell out of it.

How is that an embarrassment? You got to play a game you liked that you were slinging shit about before that incentive.

Sounds like a win win.

What shit was I slinging exactly? I never slung shit at the first 5 Halo games, I was talking shit about how Halo Infinite looked and you tried some no true-scotsman argument about me not being a real Halo fan, you kept on about it because of how long it'd been since I last played a Halo game, which is LOL, it's been a lot longer since I played a Half-Life game and that's top 10 franchises for me, it was absurd of you.

The funny thing they were for the most part insulting PS5 as well, they just do t realize it yet.

In the effort to shit o everything MIcrosoft, they forget.


Not gonna say I told you so........
 
After SONY's hype-deflating conference, Phil's statement makes a lot more sense. At least he doesn't look like a tool anymore.
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.
 
I thought I:SS came out at launch, my bad. My memory isn't that good tbh.

I don't even know what the PS4 launch games were then 🤷‍♂️ What i do know is they weren't remakes or lots of cross-gen (aside cod, battlefield etc)

Don't get me wrong, i'm going to love hating DS, just like i loved hating Bloodborne and Dark Souls (They're like the S&M of video games)

I remember buying a PS4 during the first week or 2 and all I had was FIFA 14, AC Black Flag and fucking f2p RESOGUN + Warframe for months (I really didn't enjoy either of the last 2). It didn't really have a good launch :messenger_grinning_smiling:

I don't really see one or two cross gen games near launch as being them going back on their word. Especially when they are launching with Demon's Souls which look ridiculous and have shown several other games that are totally exclusive.

To me the issue isn't that they haven't shown that they don't believe in generations, It's that they acted like these two specific games weren't crossgen. That doesn't suddenly mean all the other next gen exclusives are lies, but it's just a shitty thing to do and now people could feel like "WHAT IF GOD OF WAR IS ACTUALLY CROSS GEN"

Still it's not like R&C, God of War, Demons souls which are coming by next year all just vanished.

The best AC! Resogun was FUN... Battlefield 4 was tits and I actually preferred the PS4 version to PC because it had actual matchmaking, I hate trying to cram into the only active servers on PC. Killzone Shadow Fall is a great game, too, way underrated. Dead Rising 3 was a little weak compared to the first two but it did some neat new things.

I like how you glossed over Horizon Forbidden Worlds in your post. It's at just the right point it refutes both your for and against argument.

God of War didn't get announced as a PS5 exclusive btw. Let that sink in. Demons Souls will be on PC. I'd also hope that a 2 generation old game can look good on a console with literally over 10x, probably closer to 20x, the power.

They've 100% gone back on their word. Their word is there in black and white for all to see.

>people who say let that sink in, lol

The remake isn't 2 generations old! You don't seem to get, even with VISUAL EVIDENCE it was built from the ground up! I don't understand the bad faith arguments you make!

Yeah, I've seen their word, what is it you think they said?
 
He also forgot Destruction All-Stars, next-gen exclusive launch title... oh yeah and Godfall!
Oof shittylooking current gen games that are timed exclusive are fitting the bill now?

We got remakes of PS3 games, expansions of PS4 games and timed exclusives of cross gen games.

Great times going into next gen so far.

Its amaze balls.

So they release new console and they want to ppl buy it but then saying you dont need to buy it.. wtf?? Why you made it then? What kind business is that?

That AC was indeed the best my friend. Resogun was fun for short bursts of gaming but when you buy a new system you just want to have something that gets you glued to your screen checking out the graphics and all the improvements in performance and scope, I think I beat AC BF a good 3-4 times while I waited for new games. I think personally that's the magic about upgrading a console system, it happened back then from the Nes to the Snes and the Snes to N64/PS1 etc. Resogun and Warframe really didn't scratch that itch.

I'm aware we're in the territory of diminishing returns nowadays, but the launch of a new console should always be something special, it's one of those times that as an adult I can feel like a kid during Christmas all over again.

Either way, I think Demon's Soul and the Spiderman expansion will do a better job this gen as launch titles even though some people will be disappointed. Then again I'm also excited to play CrossFire X for the XSX on release date. 🤷‍♂️

I'm really bummed Crossfire X's campaign isn't Gamepass for some reason. I haven't been much of a multiplayer shooter gamer in a long time and don't really feel like starting again... besides Destiny 2.

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.

Yeah I'm bummed about that as well, truth be told I don't know how much it's gonna cost but I will probably end up purchasing it as it's made by remedy and I like their story offerings. Hope it's not $70 tho!

I'm more interested in the campaign but will dabble into the multiplayer for sure a bit.

didn't know it was Remedy, apparently they're only doing the campaign, though

As they should, I don't believe they have ever made a multiplayer game tbh lol. Apparently the IP is big but I had never heard of it, I liked what I saw though.

I'm sure the multiplayer will be fine for a good bit fun every now and then, I don't take FPS games too seriously nor am I good enough to work out the quirks haha. At least that part is on gamepass.

Again, a port of a PS3 game is your big answer as to why next gen is awesome?

Thats not a good start.

Demons souls being announced as coming to pc was a mistake, sure - but the mistake was announcing it then. It'll come to pc within a year I'd say. Every detail of those trailers would have been carefully looked at and checked 20 times. You don't accidentally say a game is coming to pc if it's not.

I can't believe people are believing a word song PR is saying at the moment lol. They just got caught out in a whopper of a lie and people are just scrambling to believe their next lies.

I personally don't dock any points when a game is a complete Remake Like Demon's Soul's. In my eyes, just like FF7:RE or RE2:Remake they are totally new games. Once again I'm not gushing over it because it looks better than a game from 2012. I'm saying I think it looks better than pretty much anything else to date.

But that's really not the point since there isn't just Demon's Souls. All I'm saying is right now they have several Major, First Party, Next gen Exclusives coming within a year and one coming right at launch. I think 2 of their big games being cross gen is fine and isn't anywhere near enough to make me go "they lied, they don't believe in generations".

They have at least 4 launch games that are exclusive to PS5... one also on PC.

Well that's just speculation, I can't take Demon's Souls out of the equation because you think they are lying, We see these kinds of mistakes happen literally all the time so I don't really see more than a 5% chance of it happening.

Just trying to be as fair as possible and limiting myself to talking only about really big games. Don't wanna deal with any claims I'm jsut mindlessly latching on to any exclusive. My point is they have shown that they are dedicated to making big next gen exclusives coming this "fiscal' year"

That's more than fair of you but it seems pointless. They're literally calling Demon's Souls a port. I mean, what are the Series X launch games? Are any AAA? Are any not walking simulators? Crossfire X looks great but I've seen no intriguing gameplay from games like Medium or Scorn, just interesting aesthetics.

Definitely a timing mistake. They dont want to lose initial console sales. Additionally they will use the pc launch for a little pr. No shame there but thats how it will shake out.

If the next gen, is just 2 gens ago a looking at the past, then I think it's time I get out.

What other major 1st parties are you referring to? Cuz we haven't seen them yet.

Feel free, The final Fantasy Remake and the RE:2 remake are two of my favourite games.
I don't see it as looking at the past anymor than I would if someone made an amazing game based on Akira. Since to me it's a totally different game.

God of War and RnC are big first party games coming in 2021. You personally may not be interested but so is Demon's Souls.

Oh of course, Sony doing it is fine and good business sense.
It cant take away the fact that so many fanboys are in pain today, after concern trolling for the last year and their lord and savior just asked them to hold their beer. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I mean... none of their games have looked so bad they had to delay them, so yeah... so far it's made better business sense than MS doing it.

Yesterdays show was awful 'next gen graphics' wise. Only Demon's Souls impressed and saved the show, the only 'next gen' game as well ironically.
 
They said the same thing about Miles. It's useless PR now.

But go ahead and believe if you want to.

They did?

Yay, what a low bar to be happy about.

Way to make sure you get the best experience.

So good.gif

I'm happy that the games look great regardless of being cross-gen, I'm cautiously optimistic about what happens going forward.

I don't really care if you feel this way?

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.
