I think Todd said its a next gen game
Starfield will be played most on Game Pass Iâd guess. I expect the balance between PC and Xbox will be close depending on when it releases.
I donât think anything is confirmed about Starfield except itâs Sci fi.
Its not cross gen
Starfield is a major Fallout 76 expansion confirmed

All I hear is Starfield is bethesdaâs next-gen blockbuster rpg. That is not a confirmation that it isnât crossgen tbh. I donât have a horse in this race myself, but if the game was meant to release in 2020 originally, it would have to be reaaaallly dumb to do so on consoles that are super difficult to get a hold of right now. In that case, holiday 2021 is a lot better for it than 2020 would have been.
And of course I see people blindly defending sony

I see most prominent people in the media/influencer side actually loathing it. Fanboys on the other gon fanboy tho, thatâs never changed.
People also think physical games will preserve games forever thats not true either as cartridges and discs can break not to mention patches as well

Thatâs true. For me itâs especially funny because I follow a lot of physical game distribution companies like Limited Run Games and most of them using the shutdown to promote their products.
Yep how ironic
For me, I stopped being a collector two generations ago. The games I buy physically is because I want to trade them in once I complete it and have no interest in the post launch DLC. Resident Evil 8 is a good example. I saw the leak for the DLC and ugh, no thanks. So I will buy the game physically, complete it and trade it in.
A game like AC Valhalla or Immortals, I bought digitally because im all in with the expansions and by the time they conclude, the physical copy wouldnât be worth much if anything so itâs not even worth the hassle.
Sony shutting down the store for PS3, Vita and PSP isnât really a surprise at this point in time. As long as the person doesnât delete their digital games, they should be fine. Also, at this point, if you haveât bought and played them already, you most likely never will.
Have you played the dlc for Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite?
If your console is dead you have no way to download your games again. And what about replaying a game ?
Itâs still not a good situation even itâs understandable.
I did play the DLC for Dishonored which wasnât a smart idea. It was fine but I should have went straight into Dishonored 2. Simply had my fill of it. A Series X upgrade would be the only way I would go back and play Dishonored 2.
Never played any of the BioShock games. Not for me.
I donât keep old consoles. Once a new generation hits, the previous generation consoles are gone. So even if Sony/Microsoft shutdown the digital store for PS4/XBO, it wouldnât even matter because I no longer have those consoles and im not going backwards.
If a current gen console dies like the Series X, im not concerned because I know I have at least a decade before they get removed if not longer so I would just re-download the games once I get the new Series X.
As for PS5, im not planning on buying any exclusive digitally unless thereâs expansions and Sony announces them BEFORE the base game releases.
I rarely if ever replay games. Out of around 110 PS4/XBO/Switch games, I replayed The Witcher III and The Division 2. I did replay TLOU/R twice on PS4 because there was nothing else for me to play and I was bored but thatâs a PS3 game. I did replay AC IV Black Flag on Xbox 360 and last year on PS4 Pro. Iâm tempted to play it again on Series X with Auto HDR but people said itâs locked at 30FPS so itâs like, nah.
Xbox 360/PS3 gen was 4 games - TLOU (as mentioned), Black Flag (as mentioned), Splinter Cell Conviction and Sleeping Dogs. I basically cut replaying games in half from two generations ago to last generation.
As of now, im not expecting to replay any current generation game. There would have to be a gap of nothing new for at least two months for me to consider it.
digital is definitely a much bigger problem on console than PC. PC went digital over a decade ago and has had zero issues of âgame preservation.â So I get why people want to withstand the onslaught of a purely digital future on console, because consoles are a loooot more problematic from a DRM standpoint than PC.
Also, emulation (and to an extent, piracy) is a good thing. I hope more people stopped looking at these like unspeakable crimes and instead as an eventual reality persevering against big publishers abusing their power to enforce problematic DRM over their platforms and games.

Yeah. From my childhood alone, I have logged like literal thousands of hours in gameboy and ds games through emulation without which I wouldnât have been introduced to nintendo, who still havenât officially released the switch where I live btw.

This gives me an idea.
This is a HUGE âwhat ifâ:
- SEGA dreamcast was based on Windows CE. What if instead of regular BC titles, the BC team creates hypervisors for the SEGA consoles that are no longer in use, and brings back older titles. This should be possible, and will require an OS update to install an additional hypervisor in addition to the 360 hypervisor.
This is an epiphany looking for a development team.

Lol theyâre really desperate for people to join giving away hardware with a game preorder. I find it a bit ironic that Sony is apparently going to shut down their store and weâre suppose to pay for games on Stadia where there will be no way to play if they shut down lol
