Xbox Game Studios |OT3| Once more....with feeling (Part 1)

These takes make no sense when Game Pass games will be available to play on iOS, Android, Samsung, LG, Sheild TV, Roku.

Why is being available on Playstation or Switch an issue? Game Pass (via xCloud) needs to be availablr everywhere possible.

Imagine needing a separate box to play Netflix when it could easily run on one already connexted to your TV.

my reason why I think Game Pass wonā€™t be coming to playstation, I think sony is looking into starting their own service. Playstation Now rebranding + better cloud and more devices.

the problem is the entirety of Playstationā€™s cloud infrastructure owes itself to Microsoft giving them Azure and PS Now can as a result never compete at the same level as Xcloud.

I could see steam honestly.

lol I suspect he means devices outside of Xbox and PC. But yeah, if game pass comes to steam, Iā€™d love it, cuz the MS Store is dogshit. In fact, I think Gamepass will have a very big surge if it comes on steam, in the same way Grounded or Sea of Thieves had.

Honestly, I would be very surprised if the rumored KOTOR reimagining is developped by an XGS studio (and thus probably exclusive to Xbox / PC, donā€™t know if itā€™s something that Disney would want) but I didnā€™t know that Brian Fargo was a Star Wars fan and that he almost took the direction of Lucasfilm Game at the time :open_mouth:

Thats very interesting with some rumours from todays podcast, that a high republic game thatā€™s possibly xbox exclusive.

That would be very exciting!

Honestly, wouldnā€™t surprise me since they hired the combat director of god of war, well I think that was his position. I do wonder if Disney is okay with star wars being console exclusive, but would be massive if a Microsoft studio is creating it

Why do people want another Star Wars game so badly as an exclusive? MS should be making new IP, not relying on another companies IP. I mean, give Galactic Battlegrounds a Definitive Edition if you are that inclined but wasting AAA money on Star Wars is catastrophically dumb.

A good Star Wars RPG would be a draw for the ecosystem.

A good, brand new IP would be a draw for the ecosystem and would have the benefit of not being at the whims of the mouse. Again, relying on someone elseā€™s IP is not a good idea for the ecosystem Microsoft want to make.

I have a feeling inXile is going to surprise us all once they reveal their game. For me personally theyā€™ve never been that interesting because their games just are not for me, which is fine. But knowing they are making a AAA first person RPG and seemingly in steampunk styleā€¦immediately makes me very interested.

Why does this sound like a MF dream? :sob::sob:

Owning IP is always preferable. Coming up with a new successful one is a risk though. A Star Wars game will force Star Wars fans into the ecosystem where maybe they can fall in love with some of the original IP.

If Iā€™m not wrong, Spiderman 2018 is the highest selling ps4 exclusive, well above 20 million and Sony had some of the best IP creation this previous generation who all actually sold great, yet none of them could outsell a swingy boi.

Xbox can do the same, have their own horizon zero dawn and Bloodborne and ghost of Tsushima, while also having an occasional spiderman.

The difference would be that the PS5 can handle the higher quality assets the way Stadia does.

Letā€™s see what Xbox is doing on this show.

Isnā€™t this that show where that Italian guy claims that Microsoft will reveal a game or something?

Remember that guy?
