If MS looked closely they'd remember they have a console. Their two latest releases aren't even on it. (Towerborne, Ara)

 

[Klayzer]

And when they get called out or you play them at their own game:

Quite right. As evidenced by the usual x-victims. They certainly know how to troll/gaslight, like their fanbase typically does here.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

If you look closely you'll notice these games are coming to PS5 Pro

 

[BigLee74]

Are they right or wrong, gentlemen?

 

[Cakeboxer]

The hatred towards MS, Xbox, and everything else is tiring. Listen, we get it, all the Sony fans hate MS. Yet the sure will enjoy MS Studios CoD sales on PlayStation. Idiots.

Let them have their fun, they will miss Xbox soon enough. And it wasn't all bad.

 

[itsjustJEFF]

It wouldn't take long.

as a designer, I can confirm this... I'm just too lazy and it doesn't matter to me enough to do it lol

To top of their pettines for their own showcases they sign an deal banning companies to speak about other platforms.

Xbox has a 2 day embargo for multiplatform announcements

Found first on reddit r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - It looks like Xbox has a 2 day embargo on multiplatform announcements from its showcase Press release for Wo Long confirming it coming to other platforms that was planned for June 14th Another press release also dated June 14th for Persona 3...

No. Xbox is being unfairly called out.

 

[SweetTooth]

If you look closely..you won't see Xbox anywhere soon

 

[BigLee74]

If you look closely you'll notice these games are coming to PS5 Pro

If you look closely, that’s an impressive list of games regardless!

 

[akira__]

No. Xbox is being unfairly called out.

Exclusive announcements with Embargoes, petty tweets after a showcase.

Sounds allot like slimy platform things

 

[Fabieter]

It's ironic considering they kept pulling the same stunt at every E3, with Sega and others not being allowed to mention that their games are coming to other platforms. It's such a frustrating move. If you want to be treated with honesty, you should start by being honest yourself.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

You follow alright, definition of a sheep.

Sounds like your feelings are hurt again. Don’t worry, Microsoft thanks you for your service.

Fabieter

That’s the biggest takeaway. Like they take it personal that games were shown at a show for their competitor.

 

[DJ12]

If Sony were as insecure as Microsoft it would be funny to list MSs own games as also available on ps5.

 

[Loboxxx]

 

[Herbspiceguy]

 

[Wastelander92]

At least they don’t pretend to be exclusive for 2 days like Xbox does.

I'm still fearing that Re:Fantazio will flop because of the dumb deal Sega signed.

 

[Mr Moose]

That's their 2024 marketing budget well spent.

 

[Radical_3d]

Edit: I missed the fact that a Soul Reaver remaster was coming out, that's awesome. I was pretty young when the first came out, and had trouble getting into it, but I spent a lot of time with the 2nd one on Dreamcast.

Pretty sure you didn’t.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

But nobody owns an eckbok and the sad sobs who do dont buy games...

 

[Negotiator101]

If success makes you insecure then I guess Microsoft are insecure as fuck Go on do the list.

I’m paying next to 1.000€ (a gazillion dollars with the current exchange) for a Pro. I already miss them ;~;

 

[Reaseru]

ironic coming from the platform holder that won’t even let publishers mention that their games are coming to other platforms for ~2-3 days after events

After reviewing with the VAR, I decided the tackle was beyond the acceptable rules. I therefore give you a red card. Out.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Xbox does the exact same thing everytime they hold an event. To my knowledge Sony has never pointed out all the third party titles that will also be on PlayStation right after Xbox held an event. But this is what Xbox feels they need to do everytime there is a PlayStation event now. Feel free to correct me anyone if I’m wrong on that and I will gladly stand corrected.

It just reeks of desperation. Their competitors let them have their day when they hold an event.

There aren't a lot of third party games that skip Playstation these days... So it's a given, no?

 

[RagnarokIV]

Xbox Twitter petty as hell. Imagine if Sony and Nintendo did this....lol

Everyone here would cheering them on

 

[HeWhoWalks]

If you look closely, that’s an impressive list of games regardless!

Make it green and you have a winner!

If success makes you insecure then I guess Microsoft are insecure as fuck Go on do the list.

So successful that they now have to put their games on PlayStation!

 

[Goalus]

State of Pay is a good opportunity to check out upcoming Xbox games, no lies detected.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Not seeing the problem.
Was wondering if Lunar and Soul Reaver were multiplat - and I see they are.
Buying on Xbox for me - better controller.

 

[Sooner]

Stay winning what?

A NPD Month?
Monthly European sales?
Asian Sales?
Game of the year?.

What exactly is xbox winning?

 

[Little Chicken]

Well I'm glad someone has taken the initiative to inform consumers like me what is being released and where.

Thank you, Xbox!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

The thread.

It’s a tweet, people. Relax.

 

[Segaswirl]

Going by this thread and the similar one on Resetera they annoyed all the right people with their tweet.

Played Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast back in the day so the thinking it was exclusive for the those first couple of hours was a bit shit. Glad Xbox clarified.

All one had to do was see what was omitted to know whether it was exclusive or not. Unlike Microsoft, Sony is usually candid about what’s exclusive and what isn’t.

They just need attention anytime Sony does a show.

I don't think most people were annoyed. Just laughing at the irony.

 

[adamsapple]

They even updated the tweet after some thought Lunar wasn't coming to Xbox.

So nice of them.

 

[BigLee74]

Shhhh. Shhhhhhhh. Listen. Jimmies are rustling!

 

[MarkMe2525]

Pretty sure you didn’t.

What a weird thing to say.

Edit: I see the confusion. I was referring to the Legacy and Kain on PS1 and the follow up Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver on Dreamcast (this one being the "2nd one" in the series). I wasn't aware that there was a "Soul Reaver 2" in the works, and that isn't what I was referring to. I thought they were remaking both of these games. I'm disappointed we aren't seeing a remake of Legacy of Kain now.

 

[IFireflyl]

But they didn't tell consumers where the games are being released... Otherwise you would have seen a PlayStation logo.

Oh. I see now. I said it because Soul Reaver 2 is CLEARLY a Dreamcast game (high definition for a PS2 game but limited texture draw distance) and got axed and quickly ported to the PS2.

 

[akira__]

They even updated the tweet after some thought Lunar wasn't coming to Xbox.

So nice of them.

That they missed that one to start off is very telling.

 

[JackMcGunns]

I guess the tweet had the leve of effect they could ever hope for.

When Xbox ran events back since 360. "Who cares, those aren't exclusives, only exclusives matter".

 

[DeepSpace5D]

There aren't a lot of third party games that skip Playstation these days... So it's a given, no?

Sure, but there aren’t a lot of third party games that skip either console, no? Maybe Sony gets a tiny bit more Japanese games, but the vast majority of third party games go to both consoles if they haven’t been moneyhatted from either side.

And if it’s a given already, why does Xbox go out of their way to not allow other platforms to be mentioned for a certain period of time following one of their events?

Probably because they don’t want some of the shine to be taken away from the event they just had. Because they know that whether or not a game is releasing everywhere, when it is shown at a specific console’s event, people are going to naturally associate the game with that console.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

I don't think most people were annoyed. Just laughing at the irony.

In a nutshell.

I guess the tweet had the leve of effect they could ever hope for.

When Xbox ran events back since 360. "Who cares, those aren't exclusives, only exclusives matter".

Yeah, just like console sales. They suddenly don’t matter anymore either.

 

[DJ12]

#UsToo is peak insecurity, but you do you.

 

[JackMcGunns]

Yeah, just like console sales. They suddenly don’t matter anymore either.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Yes, that’s what you did. I just obliged.

 

[Complistic]

An odd way to say this, but they're not wrong.

 

[skyfinch]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you watched these titles during State of Play, there's only a PS5 branding on them. I actually had to go to ArcheAge site to see that it was multiplatform. Why is it petty giving players a heads up?

Because Sony. And Fans. SonyFans.
