GHG it's your boy!

The current prevailing rumor is that it's Stellar Blade but this journalist implies it's more stuff too. Might just mean stuff like FF Rebirth.

Awesome

 

[LakeOf9]

Another Horizon port hype

I wonder if Jez will fight him this time.

Stellar Blade is published by Sony and one dev already refuted that, so... probably something like Final Fantasy XVI.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Could also be games like FFXVI, Marathon, or Death Stranding. There was a rumor previously about Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus and Horizon zero dawn.

Everybody's Golf is also a Sony franchise, created and (previously) published by them. They just commissioned a different publisher to do the Switch 2 port.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Meh, not interested. Massive for people that only owns a Switch

 

[Hudo]

Xenogears

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Astro Bot...then:

Very different deal; SIE licensed the IP to BNE, who in turn produced Everybody's Golf World and published it on everywhere (including on PS5).

 

[saintjules]

What's the game? Don't think it's Stellar.

.... and why couldn't they do the same with Stellar Blade? * loan out the IP to someone else to publish I mean.

edit: Also, to my recollection, it's Shift Up who owns the Stellar Blade IP, not Sony.

[Sebastian1295]

It probably just means a third party exclusive. The term 'playstation exclusive' could mean anything.

Don't forget, Death Stranding was also a Sony owned IP once and that found its way to Xbox.

edit: Also, to my recollection, it's Shift Up who owns the Stellar Blade IP, not Sony.

I mean, why would they do that when we're talking about a very modern game and not an old IP not used anymore?
Also, the fact that Shift Up owns the Stellar Blade IP and yet did not publish the game on PC proves that the publishing rights are all on Sony, which, again, has no reason to do that, at all.
If anything, in terms of first-party stuff, I can see it being Death Stranding Director's Cut. Sony already approved a Xbox version (you can see a SIE Presents splash screen on that specific version), so they would probably approve that as well.

Lego Horizon is an SIE published game that was on Switch day 1.

My point is that there's realistically not much stopping it.

That's true, but I'm talking about what is actually likely. Also, read my edit on the previous post:

[RoboFu]

Probably something dumb like TLOU or Death Stranding 2.

Id die if Astrobot though!!

 

[kevboard]

Probably Death Stranding, as it's already on Xbox. I guess Stellar Blade is in a similar legal situation, where it was funded by Sony but the IP doesn't necessarily belong to them.

 

[kaizenkko]

If true, probably Final Fantasy XVI. I guess some devs have hinted something these days.

 

[onQ123]

Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank , Little Big Planet , Astro Bot these are the type of games that need to be on Switch 1 & 2

Sony would be crazy if they decide to port Astro Bot for any other platform. The game is a Playstation celebration.

 

[LordOcidax]

Is going to be Horizon or Spiderman.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Yeah I doubt this. People been saying shit like this for years. Sony will always see Nintendo as a competitor. Those quotes earlier this week are complete bullshit

 

[onQ123]

Which is exactly what you would want to reach a new audience.

 

[StueyDuck]

It'll be (if true) another one of those games that has an obvious publishing stipulation with a third party. like Lego or the MLB, and it won't be Sony themselves.

So maybe Tokkon marvel game or something like that.

 

[yogaflame]

There are possibilities that rumors are true but i think , for me this one is possibly false since Sony already said they will focus to protect exclusives

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

By losing your current one. It's a dumb strategy, almost as much as giving this guy any credibility.

Is everybody's golf on Xbox?

 

[Deerock71]

I mean...Switch already has Lego Horizon Adventures. It's all downhill from there.

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[reinking]

If it is going to another console, it is not a PlayStation exclusive.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Could also be games like FFXVI, Marathon, or Death Stranding. There was a rumor previously about Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus and Horizon zero dawn.

Probably DS, Rebirth and service stuff. Why not.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

30fps unlocked at 540p with DLSS for Switch 2, do it Yoshi !

They wouldn't loose anyone by putting Astro Bot on Switch but I guess that's the story you all will go with for why Xbox Series didn't sale well even though they wasn't selling to begin with which is what lead them to selling their games on other platforms .

 

[adamsapple]

He's got a point.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Another Horizon port hype

Ughhh

 

[ArtHands]

Ideally it should be Astro Bot but knowing Sony it will end up being Horizon or TLOU shits

 

[HRK69]

Watch them get Bloodborne while Sony skips every other platform

 

[kazuyamishima]

Performance will be interesting!!

 

[Killer8]

Knack 2 baby!

 

[Ironman_Bad]

Its a game for game deal will be Astrobot for Mario and God of War for Zelda

 

[AmuroChan]

Astro doesn't make much sense on the Switch when the entire game is essentially a walk down memory lane of PlayStation's history.

 

[blacktout]

Could also be games like FFXVI, Marathon, or Death Stranding.

All of these games are either currently on Xbox, or are planned for release on Xbox. I don't know why a journalist would describe them as a "major PlayStation exclusive."

If this rumor isn't just BS, I doubt he's referring to any of the above.

 

[TDiddyLive]

Wipeout collection or a new Wipeout would be perfect for the Switch.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Spiderman 1 or R&C.

 

[adamsapple]

Knack 2 baby!

Time to update this legendary gif

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Go Astrobot go

 

[Kerotan]

A little taster before the graduation.
