XboxEra Community Hangout |OT10| Insert Catchy Quip Here

You could move and shoot in SotD. Also I agree that this looks like a simple remaster/re-release of the game and not anything more substantial, that being said I loved the game on the 360 so I’ll definitely get this one as well.

Goes to show featuring games (and in some instances embargoing the announcement for other platforms) in your showcase creates that ilusion.

Xbox knows what is doing.

Just found out Xbox Series X is sold out in Best Buy via customer support call. I checked and only bundles are available. Job well done on Showcase I must say.

They said theyre gonna increase shipment. They have to before starfield. Microsoft going to sell shit ton of consoles in September

Ps4 is surprising. I expected current gen only. But might have been in development for ps4 for a very long time. Game was announced way back in 2017. Glad its cleared up

I know the site has to be professional, but part of me would like to write it within stating, “And stop crying.”

Didn’t they got acquired by Netease ? Should definitely help with their budget.

MY theory is that MS bid on lots of TSMC fab time in the first year of the generation because they needed lots of extra APUs to build out their data center infrastructure for XCloud and had Halo and FH5 coming at the end of 2021 which is why it was easier to come by XSX prior to Fall/Summer 2022. It probably had the knock-on effect of reducing the availability of PS5. Given the delay to Starfield they just didn’t care about having the same availability and now it should start to improve.

Someone paid for timed-announcement-exclusive to Persona two days and Metaphor three days, and Metaphor did not get the Xbox One version.

I hope they don’t do a such dirty tricks again.

It’s called marketing and not dirty tricks. Xbox rarely get a X1 version because no one in Japan owns a X1.

Xbox marketing being the dirty sneaks that they are:

lonely island

Honestly, anyone who thought those Atlus games were going to be exclusive are complete idiots who don’t understand what “World Premier” means vs “Exclusive” or even “Console Exclusive”.

Showcase and Starfield gave the Xbox a bright future, but bad marketing with Atlas ruined it all.
Probably nobody agrees with my thoughts, but i really rage

Yeah, I think you’re alone on this one. Raging about obvious marketing seems like a waste of time, btw.

Only hardcore gamers understand that.

How is this even a controversy?

Microsoft got marketing rights to the game, and most likely wanted to give it visibility on their platform. Most logical person knows the game was coming to PlayStation. If Microsoft or Sony doesn’t mention exclusive then the game is most likely going on the other platforms too.

Also, Atlus and Sega are than fine with this practice because Microsoft most likely gives them money to make it worth it.

If they’re announced at an Xbox show there will be no mention of other platforms just like with ESO a first party, that when Necrom was announced it didn’t mention PS5. So Microsoft will continue to do so and if they have full marketing rights, all the ads will only mention Xbox.

You gotta get over it dude. :laughing: Everyone knew that the game was actually multiplatform. Microsoft can’t be expected to advertise that the game is also coming to PS during their own Xbox showcase.
