Just bought Binary Domain (on sale). I had already played it on Steam but game is cool so I doubledipped.

While i don’t like him leaking things such as the Kojima’s project with Xbox, he did a good job at setting up expectations for last E3’s. Specially 2021’s one, i guess he’ll do the same today

You got to be bad if you have people believing a Ubisoft game that is in development hell will release before KOTOR.

Like he said, we’ll always have the original, which hasn’t stopped being a great game in all these years.

Don’t say that. You can’t praise Xbox for bringing us Backward Compatible.

Same for the most part. I only use Google for images, it blows Bing out of the water with its search results.

Yeah, google is still king for images

I was hoping Deadly Premonition would go on sale since there was a small BC sale going on, but it seems like it’s just never happening…

I feel like it’s gonna be one of those games that never go on sale until after I potentially buy it full price lol.

Xbox has tried doing the biggest acquisition with MS support

If and only if they could for once try doing the biggest money hat of all

Hopefully the extended drama of ABK could bring more aggression in xbox and MS to be more platform agnostic for once

Long term goals are good… But a short term big money hat can bring lot of mid term strength to the platform by changing the narrative. It will also give huge dividends when long term plans will come to fruition

On the flip side, I am not sure that Microsoft cares to move into 1st place. They get more scrutiny and everything when they do that.

I think what they do care about is continuous growth. If they can help the industry continue growing unbound then they have tons of headroom in the industry and dont need to take market share.

A side effect of leaving Sony and Tencent propped up as number 1 and 2 is that its easier to make acquisitions that way (especially when you are Microsoft and already face scrutiny). It doesn’t make sense for Microsoft to want to put their competitor (that helps enable their growth just by ebing there) out of business. Now this regulatory environments a little challenging and different, but regulatory environments change.

I didn’t say for number 1 spot. Just a better market share mid term. The console platform needs it. Specially since parity is holding there ā€˜most powerful console’ narrative. It could also help Series S be more optimised for that game.

I was thinking that we might see Alan Wake 2 gameplay next week. Normally I’d say at Xbox, but Control debuted at a Sony show too, I can see it. Especially with the chance that Xbox will go with a GP show again.

Or during SGF.

When you ignore the past to make the future look bleak. Oh well, at least they’re living up to the name.

Anyone has one of those Klobrille montage with all the games scheduled for Gamepass? Pretty sure it’s filled to the brim with games without even knowing the unannounced stuff
