[Windows Central] Microsoft and Xbox announced 'Marvel's Blade' at The Game Awards — but could it also be coming to PlayStation?

That's why I said no more an answer.
X-Men is much bigger than Wolverine. Wolverine is the second most popular Marvel character, but X-Men is a bigger property overall, and it opens things up for a lot more gameplay options.

I hate that this still has to be clarified 20 years later... it's infuriating.

Downplaying..... BLADE?!?
LMAO
Talking smack of Batman or Superman could be considered downplaying, but Blade?
He should be lucky people are talking about him at all!
Last time I heard of him was 2004, nearly 20 years ago when the shitty 3rd movie was released.
That cast was completely obnoxious.

I see you live in one of the other universes. Look at the views for Blade and OD on YouTube. Super low. They didn't cut through at all.

You can’t really make an X Men game unless it’s some strategy type game. It’s never going to hit the big leagues, so really you gotta pick your characters.
Wolverine is it, and there will be other mutants in the game.

Who knew an IP like Blade could produce so much salt. When was it last relevant anyway?
I suspect Arkane chose the IP because they are interested in the character and Parisian setting, not "potential sales".

The hell you talking about?
The Blade trailer has 3 million views just on the Marvel channel's upload.
It's the most viewed trailer from the games shown at the show from what I can see. The second highest is Jurassic Park.

Using the Marvel Channel is not a good metric. What did it get on Xbox?

I'm sorry, why isn't it a good metric? You said the game didn't break through on Youtube. It very clearly did.

Xbox is a good metric because it's a gaming channel. People who are subscribed are more likely to buy games.
I'm subscribed to Star Wars and I've watched all the trailers they put up but I don't buy the games.
Not all engagement is equal.
It needs to cut through with a gaming audience to be successful. Surely you understand that.
'lol'

Who cares about your purchasing history, it's irrelevant. You said Blade's trailers had 'super low' views on YT, which is factually wrong. It's the most viewed trailer out of anything at the show.
You might as well go back and edit your post and add qualifiers that when you say YouTube, you mean just a very specific YouTube channel.

Is my main point wrong? No.
It needs to engage with the gaming audience. It's a tired, C-tier at best IP on the worst performing platform (probably).
Wrong? Nope.
The only people bleating success are the green rats chest thumping because they've got a marvel game.
Those of us thinking about this think it's an odd choice, with an odd developer.
Hope it's good, but it hasn't cut through and I'd be surprised if it does.
It also feels like it'll be next gen.

Yes, your main point was the game having a low reception on youtube. That's wrong.
Also, just because you didn't buy a star wars game that you saw the trailer for doesn't mean it's the same case for the rest of the gaming audience.
I doubt you actually looked it up before posting and made a shot in the dark. Hopefully you will next time.
Ease up on the fanboy rhetoric. None of my posts or replies to had any platform or 'chest thumping'.

I didn't say you were, unless you consider yourself a green rat. Do you?
I think you have been caught out and are scrambling now. I think you know it hasn't cut through with the gaming audience.
And as a result, I think it'll struggle for the reasons I've outlined.
If you are a marvel fan and a gamer you've got a PS5. By the time this game releases there'll be the two biggest heroes with exclusive games on that platform.
I hope the game goes well, but it hasn't cut through with gamers outside of some arguing over platform, has a questionable dev attached, hasn't made waves on gaming channels and ultimately is a C-tier IP to begin with.
Lots of time to change minds, but Xbox have been historically shit at that.
What say you to those points?

What? This makes no sense. We don't even know what platform it is on yet.
Who released the trailer?
Search blade on YouTube and see which page cones up first. That's the one that matters.
Ain't no way someone is specifically gonna dig out any other version of that trailer if the first one is in 4k and is marvel entertainment.
What's upsetting is clicking the comments on YouTube and the top 20 or so are a million times more positive than what's on this forum...not something I'd expect

Because of subscriptions it'll be pushed to and clicked on by people who don't buy or play games. It'll be inflated as a result. Marvel has a huge following. I'm actually surprised it doesn't have more views.
Just checked and even bloody GOW Ragnaroks DLC has 2.6m views. 3m for a brand new 'exclusive' Marvel game that was apparently the show stealer? It should be a heck of a lot more.

Go on then. Provide a counter argument to the points. I've given a lot more weight to anything I've said than you have to your 'points'. You've picked at semantics. Being the heat. Come on.

What else are you going to do aside from an X Com like game? Marvel Alliance again? An X Men fighting game?
Or you think you can do a proper third person action game and account for a dozen different play styles? Most of these mutants have insane powers. There’s a reason why the likes of Wolverine and Deadpool rise to the top.
A blade game has a better chance of being great than an X Men game.

Good points. Look at what happened to the Avengers.

No, there's no point. You started with an incorrect point about low youtube views and have only doubled down on it since and have added progressively more console fanboy rhetoric into each following post you've made.
There is potential for a proper X-Men RPG with character builds and stats, Dennis Dyack was not the right person to make it, but a more talented team can definitely do it.

The YouTube views are low. They are inflated because they aren't on a gaming channel. The developer is an odd choice. It's a C tier IP. Microsoft are shit at marketing and changing people's minds.
Not. Wrong.
You just don't have anything to go up against that which is fair enough. You've left the ring.
Best move.

It wasn't Xbox that showed it off though, it was The Game Awards. I think it's good to add all official sources together (Xbox/Marvel channels).

It's not a good idea if we are trying to determine whether it has cut through with gamers though, which is my point.
There is cross over in Marvel fans (gamers, comics, movies etc) but it muddies the waters if we are trying to determine if gamers actually care in large enough numbers.
Xbox and the game awards are fair in my opinion, but the marvel Channel contaminates the data.

Does MS ever announce platform for early reveals? Indiana Jones, Fable, Elder Scroll VI, etc
I think they gave gamers more credit than they deserve this being a first party created title
Why would they, Xbox owns Arkane so it will be on Xbox X/S, PC and Game Pass. Does Sony announce the platforms for God of War or Horizon? Are Xbox fans wondering if Wolverine is going to be on Xbox? Doubt it.

Everytime I think of Blade I think if that bloodbath rave theme.mp3 everyone had on their portable music players. And of course that awkward "yeah, got him" gesture Blade makes after nailing a guy to a wall, the edit on that is so damn awkward.
Almost as awkward as not announcing platforms for this game

I'm sure it'll land on PlayStation exactly when Spider Man 1 & 2 come out on Xbox.

Also :
GotG is shockingly good, and I hate superhero shit especially Marvel, but damn this game was fun and the characters were fantastic. I never knew Blade was a Marvel property. I think Blade will be a far more interesting character than the typical cape shit and since it will be free* day1 on Game Pass I'm for sure going to check it out. If it's half as good as GotG I'll love it.

Yeah they put the PlayStation logo on it at minimum.
They had no problem placing the Xbox logo on the OD announcement. Why are you pretending like this is normal? The reasons eludes us but it’s not normal so don’t try to sell us a bridge.

Here we go again, rules from a non existent rule book. If it ends up Xbox/PC exclusive, play it there

No one would expect Blade to rival the popularity of Spider-Man or Wolverine, but how exactly is Blade a tired IP?
Even if we assume that they didn't announce the platforms do you think they would have declined to comment when asked? This isn't the normal thing to do.

Of course it is to xbox/pc. It's just funny to see people sweat. And, it's kind of embarrassing to see xbox have to let this hang out there to heighten interest instead of letting the IP they're renting or the talent at their own studio speak for itself and garner the attention and overshadow it.
