I mean isn’t everyone doing the same? I think Nintendo is the only one announcing new first party titles at their own will. I suppose Xbox could do that, but I do think they are more of showing off games within first two years range. Only that showcase 2020 was an exception.
Nah, can’t have that. It’s in Europe, remember.

MAYBE, MAYBE we get a TGS for a Japanese game or something Kojima related if it actually exists, but yeah.
It’s painful to think about.
Time to wander the desert people…

Sony would do almost everything they could to stop that

We’ll see, I think next year presence should be more balanced, too much talk with the Xbox “show” and not enough things for Geoff’s show.
Yeah, most people don’t unsubsribe, it’s scientifically proven, but without big hitters, your growth rate becomes flat, most people don’t subscribe for indies/AA, so they need BIG hitter all over the year, 1st or 3rd party.
The thing which frightens me the most is Xbox not having enough clout to do it anyway, Peter Moore snatched GTA from Sony hands and showed it on a tattoo, I want to see that kind of moves.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I do feel some of the deals blocking HUGE Day 1 3rd party gets is Sony.
Either because they have Spartacus coming or just because they be pricks like that.
Didn’t they do that with Resident Evil 8?
I believe any game with Sony marketing has a clause in the contract that it comes to PS Now/Spartacus first for X number of months/year before being allowed elsewhere.
I think RE8 proved that.
Sony ain’t cutting no checks for Spartacus
Sony have great relationships with certain devs and even have clauses in contracts that say certain games cannot appear on competitors subscription services for a certain amount of time if they have a marketing partnership.
Sony is playing defense.
They didn’t announce any GP numbers in a year for a reason. That first half drought slowed the momentum down significantly. I’m sure they know they can’t have droughts like that again.
They’re probably calling publishers everyday trying to get a good deal for both sides.
They have to because “It’s just PS NOW + Anime + BC” is a terrible sales pitch.
They are going to have two years in a row the same situation, something hasn’t worked out well. Until now, I still hope in some big surprises.
The second Spartacus gets more subs than Gamepass , Sony is going plaster those numbers all over world . Even infront of MS headquarter .

The majority of gamepass deals happen weeks before they’re announced so I’m not too worried that they haven’t announced more games yet.
I thought those clauses were the games they were marketing couldn’t come to Game Pass for like 12 months, nothing related to PS Now, though I am sure there is other stuff with PS Now since we see interesting timing between PS Now and GP drops sometimes.

If it ever happens, it would be completely MS fault, they have had almost 5 years advantage and IDK how much more financial prowess. XD
