Nice, forgot about that.
No one overreacts to middling news of their competitor more than Xbox fans it seems. Seeing such vitriol today, and hyperbolic overreactions like stating that Xbox needs better ācommunity managersā because they donāt āget gamersā because of a KOTOR remake (thatās coming to Xbox mind you), whilst ignoring that they picked up some of the most successful developers in one fell swoop. Itās embarrassing. This isnāt some zero sum game and no matter how much you guys want to spin it, KOTOR never had anywhere near the reach that a game like Oblivion, Skyrim, or Fallout has had. I guarantee when most of the Sony fans find out itās an RPG, especially if it retains its D&D rulebase, theyāre going to bail because statistically those games donāt sell well on PS. So spare us the āI know more than a $2 trillion company because some Youtuber/blogger/Twitter personality said soā takes.
Last I checked, as @Klobrille even tweeted, the roadmaps for both are looking pretty damn great, and with so many unannounced projects Iād wager Xbox is going to be looking even better than the source of your worries in the next 18 months. If it hasnāt sunk in why there are so many moneyhats from Sony yet, I donāt know what will make it soā¦

Honestly some people need to justā¦ go play games, and get off of forums, and relax. Like damn, its not worth having an aneurysm over a gaming event.

Personally Iām just baffled that Aspyr/Disney took the Sony exclusivity moneyā¦ for a Star Wars game. An IP that will sell insanely well no matter what. I still cannot understand why it was even needed. But yeah, I completely agree with you. No need to vent your anger over a single dang game towards Xbox, lol.
lol just skimmed through the event, what are the reactions here because that event was pretty much what I was expecting nothing really special. A lot of games still with no release date which is a bit worrying, Spider Man 2 in 2023 but what about that Wolverine game? is that like 2026 or something. Also how does GT7 still not have a release date after being delayed 2 years.
Aspyr is a port studio, they didnāt take anyoneās money but the publisher (Sony) to make the game.
I agree, but still feels weird since on consoles the KOTOR games was associated with Xbox. Anyways, like you said future looks bright for the up and coming announced xbox games compared to what Sony has announced.
Even though it may not be Microsoftās strategy, but I believe they should start looking at creating licensed games. Sony being able to create exclusive games for 2 of the most popular superheroes is huge, and I think Microsoft def needs to evaluate investing in licensing IP especially since that can help sell gamepass service.

I dunnoā¦ considering this game has a pretty sizeable budget. Is Sony really funding ALL of that? For just a timed exclusive? I doubt it. Surely Disney/Lucasfilm is contributing somewhat.
Gran Turismo 7 does have a release date. March 4th. The reactions here wereā¦ pretty underwhelming. Though, uh, thereās somewhat of an outrage towards Xbox over KOTOR being a timed exclusive.

Wouldnāt be suprised if Disney/Lucasfilm contributed some, I would assume the publisher is responsible for the majority though.
The development and risk associated with the game is typically the publishers risk, not the IP holder. If Disney was putting out a ton of money to get these games made, theyād probably just publish them like WB does.

Watching Mr Matty Plays video on KOTOR, he said that the source he has which has been near 100% accurate for KOTOR info that Microsoft did try to get it as an exclusive but Sony wanted it more meaning that they paid more money for it. Take that for what you will. I would love to know the money Sony is spending on these timed exclusive deals.

Will have to listen to Mattyās.
Oh I missed the release date my bad, I was like wtf how could they not have one for that game at least.
Again funny enough I said this before the event Sony so far has money hat every single game I donāt really give a shit about so Iām super lucky haha. I never liked Wolvrine or Star Wars so itās all good by me waste your money on that.
I find it a bit stunning how much reliance Sony has on 3rd party IP and dev teams too, I think MS teams are going to really outpace Sonyās teams a lot sooner than I first thought. Imagine if Sony didnāt buy insomniac and Xbox got them.
If anyone came out from that event scared or worried about Xbox, Iād say just calm down a bit, it wasnāt that bombastic and of course Sony fans and media will be hyped up about it because it was the first showing of Sony in 12 months.

If anybody came out of that event scared or worried about Xbox, simply remind them that Xbox bought Bethesda. The End.

Some people are weird like that, Sony show something and they react like everything Xbox has announced is gone or doesnāt matter now and theyāre apparently Xbox fans.
