Luckily, the peak has yet to reach, which is surprising to be honest. I remember people thought it was a waste of purchase as it was already peaked. I guess I know who’s laughing now.

P.S. now it is a first party meme

NGL, this makes me think that SF6 will be multi-plat with Sony marketing now.

Granted my whole “Sony moneyhatted SF6” was based on Nick saying that he thought it changed from multi-plat to timed after Ono left.

I am pretty sure that a lot of moneyhats are tied to one or another person due to connections. Like remember Yakuza games…

To answer whoever question was lost in the BrightestsSun’s answer,

I’m just automatically assume Sony has most marketing rights for SE/Capcom/Japanese games because it’s so much easier for them to get them.

I mean it’s a realistic approach for games like RE, SF, SE games and others.

I think the last marketing rights Microsoft had to a RE game was 6? Xbox had the DR games and DMCV (which was actually surprising).

EDIT: Checked, yeah it was Resident Evil 6.

EDIT EDIT: actually may not have even been RE6. Maybe it was 5?

…Since Destin covers multiplatform games as well as mentioning PS5 games I’m posting this here and not the Studios thread.

He’s wondering what we can expect for this year besides Starfield, Stalker, Scorn and Redfall. He says MS had a fantastic Q4 last year with FH5 and Halo Infinite but now it’s radio silence. He also mentions a few indie titles. Wants to know about when Avowed comes out, well good luck with that, lol. Ask Dusk Falls which got a Korean rating, shouldn’t be too long, can we first have a proper reveal first? Now this isn’t exactly on MS/Xbox though, it’s on the studio to do so.

He right. Its sad that they didn’t have any big releases till Q4 the year after the system came out and then 2022 nothing till Q4. like wtf. im the same way. iv been on ps5 more recently. xbox has a lot of good games on gamepass but the criticism is fair. They need to spread the releases out and talk about the games as well. I know people say pandemic pandemic well that hasn’t stopped ps from putting out a steady release of games since ps5 came out

Take a deep breath, my friend… Those days are becoming numbered as we speak.

Who cares about marketing rights? Like seriously, why care at all?

[ProgStopper]

@Shadowgasm

Typically I wouldn’t care BUT - - - There’s a direct cause and effect of marketing rights to Day 1 on GamePass.

Typically if a game is “neutral” it has a pretty decent chance of launching Day 1 on GamePass depending on the type of game.

If Xbox has marketing rights, the chances go higher, see Back 4 Blood.

But if PlayStation has marketing rights to game (MLB The Show not withstanding) there is zero chance of Day 1 on GamePass as we saw with the leaked RE8 contract.

So typically if Sony has marketing for a game like SF, no Day 1 on GamePass.

And Street Fighter while big, could be a big boon for a Day 1 on GamePass title to help strengthen the FGC on Xbox.

So it’s more like GamePass stuff.

[ProgStopper]

Also probably a somewhat safe bet that if Sony has marketing rights to something it’ll probably show up on Spartacus first then GamePass later like Avengers.

So marketing rights can be somewhat important in determining where and when games could show up on Subscription services.

It’s best just not to expect big AAA third party games on Game Pass day 1, regardless of marketing rights.

Most big games aren’t going to launch day 1 on Gamepass anyway, so I don’t think it matters. I get your other point though.

Very true, but there have been surprises.

I considered B4B to be AAA given the marketing hype around it as the successor to L4D.

I dont think anyone should be expecting it on GP, whether Sony has marketing or not

@KakkaKarrotKake

No, but it would have been one helluva get to kickstart back up the FGC on Xbox.

Plus I assume SF6 would have lots of cosmetics, DLC and Season Passes so it would be a good way to incentivize additional purchases with the low threshold of GamePass to open the wider FGC on Xbox.

Pipe dream, but it would have been pretty killer.

[ProgStopper]

Ever since the leaked RE8 contract the prohibited Day 1 on GamePass launch, I’ve been paying attention to who-gets-what marketing rights and then the type of game being marketed to see the chances of a Day 1 on GamePass.

It’s been rather fascinating.

I thought maybe there was a chance for DL2 given the Xbox marketing and the focus on co-op but that theory didn’t quite work out.

I don’t think every game -has- “marketing rights”. Dying Light 2 didn’t seem to have it. Xbox only had the reveal like 4 years ago. I don’t recall seeing the game get associated with Xbox after that.
