I know we’re not suppose to mention the other place but this poll, wow…

1085 members thought that it was better than expected?

Weren’t people shitting on MS for paying 100M for TR and how stupid they are and should’ve spent the money on new IP lol now people saying they should buy timed exclusives again.

Pretty much. Xbox is not as concerned about timed exclusivity but Day One on Game Pass, so Xbox would not only have to pay for exclusivity but also for Game Pass, and in case people haven’t realised but AAA 3rd Party games on Game Pass are the exception rather than than norm.

It is therefore not that hard to come to the conclusion that Xbox just thinks that money can be potentially better invested elsewhere, especially when it is a genre where Xbox is quite frankly stacked.

@PCPrincipal

As XBOX inches closer towards PS, journos will start shitting on XBOX again. They cannot let somebody surpass their precious brand. They have to swing opinions and move goalposts again and again to keep themselves relevant. I don’t take these people seriously.

The side effect of such a big playstation brand is that journos will go where they can get clicks, and pushing PS while dumping on Xbox helps them with that.

Oh apparently GTA V remaster has been delayed into 2022.

Good lord what has happened to Rockstar? Truly wish GTAO had not become a succes at all , just being honest here. We’d have GTA 6 by now, maybe not the crazy budget 6 probably now will be but I’m sure 5 and RDR2 weren’t cheap either.

I saw exactly zero visual improvements in the trailer yesterday.

I concur. Bless the people who enjoy GTO but there is no doubt that it has caused a new GTA to forgo an entire generation because GTO is bringing in so much money, but also requires developers to keep it evolving.

It’s the pc port maxed out without mods, so it’s still a 2014 game, no type of witchcraft can change that.

Just because Sony money hats something doesn’t mean Microsoft tried to counter that bid and failed or can’t afford to outbid them, Microsoft could’ve easily just not wanted to do it and that is most likely it at the end of the day. Remeber what happened with Tomb Raider, that’s probably still in their heads.

Timed exclusive deals are stupid anyway, it helps no one at all.

I was going by what mattyplays said.

Also yeah they need to get over RotTR lol, everyone else pretty much has.

[Failwood]

Since you lot doubted me, I just wanted to remind all of you that I was completely in the right with my prediction.

@Failwood

I did state that they could do it if they set the game in NY again. If they make it a rehash like MM there is no doubt in my mind they could ship it in late 2023. Honestly don’t even think that announcing it here is very weird either since the original had a release 2 years after announcement.

You can all call me Nostradamus from now on.

[Staffy]

After yesterday it’s clear that not even Sony can show gameplay from a 2023 game, well that’s assuming God of War is next year of course. I think it would now be extra great if we have Xbox coming with a trailer with gameplay during something like TGA… obviously of Avowed.

This gives a nice first look on what the future holds for Xbox and it’s a show of good faith, because really showing a game that is at least more than 1.5 years away is a really nice change for MS.

A proper first look at the future, something tangible, and a brand new IP announcement, this would be great in my opinion. And that would be a CGI trailer for example, but if it’s just one CGI trailer by Xbox that would be a waste of potential.

Idk its helped Sony quite a bit with FF7R and it will help them again with KOTOR. Sucks personally if you are an xbox gamer but it does help the actual console getting the games.

Back to the regular scheduled programming of begging for fps boosted Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect Andromeda.

Pls.

It’s taking very long , but even longer is the wait for simply new BC games overall.

@peter42O

Just found out that the Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy PS5/PC remastered port is being developed by Iron Galaxy. Guessing this is the game that they were contractually obligated to complete. If they’re done with contractual obligations, I would think that Microsoft goes gets them to develop Killer Instinct 2.

[CallMeCraig]

@javycane

Just a remake of a 20 year old game. FF7 was also a remake and it was a massive coup and success for Sony.

if you expect an FF7R like result from Aspyr you will probably be very disappointed

[Roronoa_Zoro90]

@CallMeCraig

Yeah, that’s a bit of a reach, Aspyr is completely untested for this level of scope. Fortunately for them KOTOR is so old that updating the combat will be the hardest task, the world is tiny and they need only to make a new coat of paint, the story is there.

Third game in a row to use the same NY map and same engine. Fourth if you count Spider-Man PS5 edition as it’s own thing.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

All I meant was Playstation getting a remake of a 20 year old game worked out for them last time sales wise so if KOTOR comes out well they will reap the benefits again once more.

It’s already known the next Spiderman will be NY only?

[GamepadX]

@Roronoa_Zoro90

I mean the fast turnaround suggests it’s a modification of the same map. The trailer shows rain so expect lots of ray traced puddles to make it seem new and improved.

I’m not entirely sure what the problem is with Spiderman 2 being set in New York again. If you look at the history of Spiderman, probably 98% of his stories are set in New York (completely made up number but likely close to true).

Practically the only time he is not in New York is when is temporarily teamed up with the Avengers or some other group to tackle a larger threat.

The same would be true of Daredevil, Luke Cage, and lots of the other Marvel “street level” heroes.

New York is part of the character. I’m not sure why you would force a new location on them without a really good reason.
