Via Tom Warren:

I understand that Microsoft has also previously been weighing up the idea of bringing Gears of War, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and even the next Doom game to rival platforms. Final decisions haven’t been made on these other games, but there’s bound to be more than just four. As this strategy evolves, it’s clear there will be some interesting decisions being made about the future of Xbox games and exclusivity.

I thought it was just those 4 games...


LOL

 

[SlimySnake]

Of course they were. Phil said you either grow or die. And you dont grow by porting grounded and pertinent on Playstation and Nintendo.

“Not like this”

[Mownoc]

They will be considering all of their titles, and port the ones they think make sense. Many more will follow the first 4.

 

[Bond007]

Literally no point in any of these potential console claims they are putting out there.
Outside of a handheld- a powerful next gen console sounds like a waste or just a diversion for now.

 

[adamsapple]

"Next year"

 

[jm89]

We are back to square one.

Yeah that podcast was a complete waste of time.

 

[nani17]

But but he said only four games

 

[Little Chicken]

I'm surprised Flight Sim isn't one of the titles to be honest, it's much less of a "game" and more of an interesting piece of software to play around with.

 

[blakdecaf]

They’ll bring many, many more if the cash starts rolling in. You’ve seen how mental some of those reactions have been by the fanboys this past couple weeks, you gotta start slowly to avoid complete meltdown.

Slowly boil the lobsters, don’t chuck em right in.

 

[XXL]

You mentioned that Starfield and Indiana Jones aren't part of the four despite rumors, but will those ever come to PS5? Can you rule that out?

I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform. We're focused on these four games and learning from the experience.
But I don't want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam's going to open and that everything else is coming, that's not the plan today. I also don't want to mislead customers on those other platforms. We're launching these four games, and we're excited about it. We're excited about the announce and everything else, but we'll see what happens for our business

Absolutely. The retarded train is still full steam ahead I see.

But “Gears? No.” Is still consideration. Have we learned nothing in the last two weeks? Exclusives days are numbered, but Microsoft can’t/won’t do it alone. As Spencer said, in five to ten years they’ll be much less significant, and hopefully over.

"Next year"

 

[tomato shrub]

oh god this will now continue for the rest of the generation. And Spencer couldn't even stop the next rumours for like 5 minutes, jesus.

 

[aliadiere25]

The truth is finally coming out. Starfield will be on PS5 by the end of this year or early next year.

 

[Klosshufvud]

But but he said only four games

Four are coming definitely. He didn't say they were the only ones coming. Phil uses a very slippery way of expression. You need to close attention to what he says.

 

[bender]

I think that one actually makes a ton of sense as it doesn't have any competition outside of the PC.

 

[Wooxsvan]

phil did say exclusives are a smaller and smaller part of the industry... makes sense

 

[nani17]

I know I was kidding .

They will start slow to see if its money worth. In the end they probably gonna drop the rest after seeing that PS has a massive userbase and they can farm money with both Steam and PS.

 

[willothedog]

current version is approaching eol, FS2024 will be out later this year.

 

[TrippleA345]

They will release everything. Its just the beginning lol

 

[Gudji]

I'm surprised Flight Sim isn't one of the titles to be honest, it's much less of a "game" and more of an interesting piece of software to play around with.

Team probably doesn't even have devkits at this point.

Notice how the games that are supposed to be released for now are from studios that already have PS5 devkits - maybe with exception of rare.

 

[Astray]

We are back to square one.

Yeah that podcast was a complete waste of time.

He actually managed to add more names we didn't havr news outlet corroboration on lmfao.

Add Grounded, Gears of War, Doom and Flight Simulator to the list rofl.

(Actually, S SneakersSO mentioned Doom before lol, but nice to get that Tom Warren corroboration there too).

 

[Klosshufvud]

I know I was kidding .

Oh sorry I'm illiterate lol

 

[Ozriel]

the best part of the ‘has been considering’ line of ‘leaks’ from insiders is that nobody can call you out when you’re wrong. You’ll just say they considered and changed their minds.

Warren talked about a big game coming and had a Verge article heavily hinting at a day one port of Indiana Jones.

All wrong.

 

[Hohenheim]

This forum goes full retard every time this cunt makes a tweet. Maybe it's time to put the whole "insiders" thing to rest? The joke ain't funny anymore.
Stop giving these folks this "power". Ignore them. Play some games.

 

[LordOcidax]

Let it go… Not going to happen.

 

[nani17]

Oh sorry I'm illiterate lol

It's ok

 

[SlimySnake]

I also don't want to mislead customers on those other platforms.

Yes, i just want to mislead customers on my platform.

 

[C2brixx]

I'm starting to wonder about Tom's engagement numbers on the rumors. He seems committed to keep this story alive.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Man Microsoft are ruthless to their fans. They're gonna do it slowly. Give them hope and than snatch it away over and over again.

They haven't ruled out putting Indiana Jones on other consoles. Phil admitted that you can't rule out any game going to other consoles. It's just a matter of time before Xbox puts their bigger games on other consoles. They'll make far more money that way than actually making a new expensive console and playing catch up with Sony and Nintendo.

 

[Crayon]

“Not like this”

This pic makes me sad every time it gets posted.

 

[near]

Gears needs new life, Flight Sim should be on everything, Doom Eternal already has a userbase on PS so add the sequel. Do it.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

The whole forum reads like a crazy flat Earth reddit thread when it comes to Xbox. Xbox derangement syndrome is real and its so sad.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Of course they are there was too much smoke from Microsoft insiders fundamentally the hardware isn't selling well, gamepass slowed and software sales have declined they have a severe growth issue but as long as Phil is in charge it'll be a wishy washy strategy the man just can't be clear to save his life.

 

[aliadiere25]

Man Microsoft are ruthless to their fans. They're gonna do it slowly. Give them hope and than snatch it away over and over again.

As long as they have Phil Spencer in charge... they're going to suffer.

 

[CLW]

But it’s “just 4 games”. Ms needs to fire that cuk Spencer guy has to be one of the most incompetent executives in business history

 

[Gojiira]

Doom has no business ever being exclusive much less to Xbox so that better be coming…

 

[Iced Arcade]

keep those clicks coming Tom. lol

 

[Mr Moose]

Honestly, I get that they needed to put out a community fire and probably struggled for a long time with crafting a messaging narrative that would dilute this for their community, but this entire thing was a tremendous waste of time. Even the interview pieces afterwards talking about 'biggest leap in hardware'.

This entire outfit is just unbelievably misguided. I already felt this way based on just years of working with/for and with loads of other folks who have experience with Xbox and Microsoft, but Xbox is without a doubt one of the most poorly run gaming orgs in the industry. They just have a lot of capital to cover up the mistakes, and even then its not enough.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Based off Sea Of Thieves and Grounded coming to Playstation I can see Flight Sim coming as well. They want you guys spending your whole paycheck buying digital airplanes.

 

[mejin]

oh god this will now continue for the rest of the generation. And Spencer couldn't even stop the next rumours for like 5 minutes, jesus.

Spencer and his team took a week to put this shit show of 20 min pre-recorded video.

The games are coming there's no doubt, they just can't say: "We're Playstation now".
