Starfield and MCC on PS5 hype?

 

[LordCBH]

water is wet. More on this at 11

 

[Wastelander92]

Surprised Avowed hasn't been announced for PS5 yet.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Ports to Steam, hopefully.
Zero improvement going on with Xbox App on PC.

Every single one of Microsoft's games launches day and date on Steam???????

Good, keep it that way.
Because, there have been Zero improvments to the Xbox App on PC.

???? Pretty much every MS PC game is on Steam at this point outside a few outliers like that Halo 5 Forge creator thing.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Unless they're porting more Halo and Gears, I don't see the point. I don't think anything else will sell well that isn't already out like FH5.

Sony should port their first party games to Steam. Their PC app is really bad.

I would love a MCC port so I could co-op with my buddy who only owns a ps5. Would be sick.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

I expect…

- Halo Infinite
- Starfield
- Microsoft Flight Simulator

 

[adamsapple]

Cool.

Time to announce CoD for Switch 2, I guess.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That's what would sell the best imo. I already got it for Steam however.

 

[LakeOf9]

Very unlikely this year's game comes to Switch. It already has an ESRB rating, and it has been rated only for PC, PlayStaton, and Xbox systems, no Nintendo.

Sony already port their first party games on steam , i don't get what you mean..

 

[LordCBH]

Microsoft Flight Simulator

I forgot about Flight Sim. The last one was really really cool. How's the current one?

 

[adamsapple]

Borderlands 3 for Switch 2 got announced after other ports and is coming maybe a few weeks later.

It is possible, but I can also see them holding it back for next year's so it has more dev time.

 

[skyfinch]

These games better come to Series S or I'm gonna be pissed.

Spent all of last year saving up for Series S because my uncle was all "Series S has a great future. Microsoft cares about you. Phil is the name of your Mom's boyfriend." Want a load of shit.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Gotta keep them metered to maximize sales (plus it would help to not be going against a new release but that's not an easy thing to accomplish).

Personally only care about Halo:MCC, or some of the classic games like Perfect Dark (N64) or Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Yes, but marketing strategies withholding announcements won't reflect on rating boards as well. Even if they weren't announcing a hypothetical Switch 2 version of the game, a rating for it would still have been submitted with the other versions if it is due out anytime this year. So the simpler explanation is that it is not – it will presumably be next year that they finally start making good on their commitment, but right now at least I don't see COD on Switch 2 this year after the ESRB rating.

 

[TheMule1983]

Love it. Keep twisting the dagger Phil.

[Sephimoth]

That's a nice way to strengthen the "competition" and put themselves out of the console business.
Wonder which genius came up with that?

[Baemono]

Starfield on Switch 2 let's go, I want a redemption arc for this game like Cyberpunk

Satya Nadella

 

[Gaiff]

Laying off staff. Canceling some of the most anticipated games. Shutting down "AAAA" studios. Porting premium titles to the platforms of their most bitter rivals.

Xbox and Phil are on a roll.

 

[RayBoy]

 

[TheMule1983]

Biggest con man in the industry!

 

[Skifi28]

At least we know for sure it won't be anything with Halo multiplayer thanks to M m14

 

[Mr Moose]

Doesn't it run not so well on anything other than X3D CPUs?

 

[Skifi28]

With even Series S having a ~60fps mode, a Switch2 port should not be out of the question. It won't look pretty or perform well most likely, but I imagine it'd playable.

 

[Flabagast]

I think Xbox fans (if they still exist?) can keep Starfield for themselves, thank you

 

[Baemono]

I think Redfall will remain exclusive

 

[twilo99]

Every single multiplayer title they own should be available on all available / feasible platforms

 

[twilo99]

I think Xbox fans (if they still exist?) can keep Starfield for themselves, thank you

Will very likely be top seller on PlayStation … that install base loves 3rd person single player games for whatever reason

 

[LordCBH]

I think Redfall will remain exclusive

 

[jm89]

Avowed and south of midnight probably.

 

[Memati187]

I think Redfall will remain exclusive

Lmao, you guys kill me. But yeah, green rats can be proud to hold in to this exclusive for decades to come.

 

[Skifi28]

I think Redfall will remain exclusive

We can only hope.

 

[VinnyMac]

Give me that crackdown goodness on ps5

 

[JPSLotus97T]

If they release MCC, that'll be a day 1 buy for me.

Don't much care for anything else in the Xbox catalog at this time. Starfield was a huge disappointment, so I hope that stays locked to the Xbox/PC.

Maybe Rare Replay is in the pipeline?

 

[Horseganador]

Xbox is porting all their best offerings to PS5 as quickly as they can, but the only thing they have left that matters is Halo, and little else... Starfield, Avowed, Flight Simulator, etc. weren't going to sell much on PS.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Avowed and south of midnight probably.

Switch and PS gamers should be so lucky.

 

[Baemono]

Avowed and south of midnight probably.

South of Midnight's visual effect makes it look like a game with choppy framerate, a Switch port is guaranteed

 

[lughnasadh123]

Would love to have MSFS on the other consoles even if it means maybe having to upgrade my internet.

 

[Ar¢tos]

I think Redfall will remain exclusive

We could do a trade of Redfall for Forspoken.

 

[balls of snow]

Halo on playstation lets go.

 

[Bond007]

Im in for most of the stuff mentioned
MCC
Flight Sim
Starfield

I already played em a ton but id be happy to consolidate em on my Playstation. But after this initial rush of stuff- which i would expect them to sell big, there isnt much else in the pipeline. Their exclusives just arent there anymore

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Avowed and South of Midnight.

Two major hits everybody is excited for.
