The Big ol' Xbox 3rd Party Releases Discussion Thread (HiFi, SoT, Pentiment, Grounded) (Part 1)

Yea this community needs to chill the fuck out. Gaming IS CHANGING. If you cant deal with that find another hobby.

Hopefully these moves that MS are making will once again change and make the industry better.

MS inovates then Sony copies and gets the credit.

Nothing is changing for Xbox owners. They just made a huge public commitment to future hardware and did it with some balls stating it will be the biggest tech leap ever.

Stop dooming and freaking out over rumors or your own crazy thoughts on what MIGHT happen 20 years from now and just enjoy the fact Xbox has the biggest and most diverse 1st party in gaming history and have been given leeway from MS to change the industry.

Really stop freaking out, it will be ok.

I am so excited for people getting to try these games, especially Pentiment. A real jewel in the Xbox crown, and deserves all the success.

Xbox gamers using proximity chat to convince PlayStation gamers to come over to Xbox. This was the plan all along. Why didn’t we see it?

Yeah and than accusing other people of seeking for attention.

We are all Xbox gamers and people want to discuss topics with other Xbox gamer without being judge or attack.

You don’t have to share their thoughts but let them speak their mind for god sake.

I would argue Switch got worse 3P support

Yeah we will see. I just don’t think it’s really just a “test run”. Tim Stuart said it’s their mission to bring their first party experiences to every screen including PS and Nintendo and there is no indication why I shouldn’t believe him. If I’m wrong I will gladly eat crow. I actually would love a world with no exclusives it’s just unfortunate that Xbox will be by far the first to go that way.

Only people I saw calling HI FI a flop were Sony fanboys and Jeff Grubb

Oh I have no doubt that more is coming, but I meant this year. I kinda assumed it would be one or two games for the first half and two other games for the second half this year.

But hold on, you’d rather see them doing day one releases for other platforms? I think that would be a big mistake and if anything will damage the Xbox hardware sales even more. Some people seem to think Game Pass will bring people over, but they seem to forget PS players were fine with paying top dollar for day one games on PS5.

Xbox has to keep reasons to get people to get interested in the Xbox ecosystem, those are the big first party releases. Hopefully it will be a long time before they start doing that.

I fixed that for you :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.

I jest.

Again, he never called it a flop. He simply said the game did not earn back its budget. The thing he said that was not confirmed and he shouldn’t have said it was that Xbox was really disappointed because he doesn’t know what exact metrics they were happy with that. Aaron Greenberg talked about later

Don’t worry about it. Some people can’t help themselves but be assholes and it’s not isolated to just a few users. Just because you can be a prick doesn’t mean you should be, but that concept is lost on some.

Doesn’t help when you openly like posts from antagonistic users.

What can I say, I agree with them.

Look at how happy the SOT community is with this news.

I hope all the Xbox GAAS eventually come to every platform, yes even Halo/Forza’s multiplayer.

And I think it’s not far fetched to think that Sony will do the same with their GaaS games… eventually.

I hope the devs can get more sales and the recognition for their work! I hope Sea of Thieves is nominated for best on going game at the 2024 Game Awards! I’m curious where these games will land on NPD

Probably means we get HF2 though.
