Last time we saw Suicide Squad it did not look that hot no?
Faces looked incredible from what I recall, and the gameplay bits in the trailer I think looked good enough? Not sure anymore, we have yet to see a real direct gameplay video like we have had for GK.
You mean the price of games? That would be something.

It looked really good dude . It felt like a mix between Batman Arkham and Sunset overdrive in gameplay .

I donāt think their leader is actually wrong, just need to see things through Sonyās perspective. Theyād be giving up a good position to grow a subscription service and would have to reduce their investment in games to make up for the decrease in profits until the subscription service reaches a certain number of subscribers.
Microsoft has less to lose and more capacity to lose, so they can get away with actually increasing investment in order to reach that point.
When they say theyād have to decrease investment it isnāt saying blanket that nobody can spend a lot on a subscription service, itās saying Sony canāt.
Jesus, these ponies man, lmao.
I was talking to one and said Starfield, Avowed, Fable etc are all very promising IP and nothing to sneeze at them being on Game Pass. His answer was that had these IP been Sonyās they would be improved much further, because Sony studios are the best in the business.
Yup, truly a cult. @Mort is right on that. 
Itās not like Sony helps out, end of the day its all on these developers to make the game. Whether they are under MS or Sony, sigh.
Then he mentions Halo, how Sony never would have released it incomplete after a year delay. But I mention FH5, Psychonauts 2, MSFS, Gears 4 and I get no response.

OK, that actually makes more sense then.
Yeah, we Xbox fans are in luck that MS can afford to lose more. But I also see people saying thereās no way MS is giving their studios similar budgets like Sony would and Iām likeā¦and you know this how?

Yeah thatās people buying the āprestigeā crap. I am sure the big Xbox games have similar budgets to the big Sony games, maybe with something like TLOU2 being an outlier.

Same ones who will also believe Halo Infiniteās budget is $500m

Is that Christopher Weaver in the middle with Spencer and Howard?
MS should be on par with expenditure as similar to Sony I would assume
There revenue is getting closer and closer to PlayStation
There will also be no impact on Quality as well
Sony simply canāt do Gamepass stuff
Itās mainly the third party stuff that contributes to this annoying discourse.
Everyoneās go to reaction when a mediocre co op or multiplayer game isnāt doing to hot is āoh thatās for sure a gamepass gameā.
Once Xbox is in a cadence with its first party games, people wonāt be talking about gamepass like that.

They can. Just no need to now. Their current model works very well, no need to interrupt it now, until the market (demand) says otherwise.
Yeah, that gameās budget was pretty crazy eh?
Yeah, I never believed that. Whereād that even come from?
Nothing but great news. The same great games as these studios used to make, but a higher budget. Tow 2 will be one example and Hellblade 2 absolutely too. Hell, we had Double Fine mentioning how Xbox meant they were able to put back in removed content. Yet these folks believe Starfield is much worse off compared to if it had been a Sony owned IP, somehow they believe the game is not getting a high enough budget.
āThey can. Just no need to nowā can be open up for many arguments.
The truth is currently doing so would be a huge hit to there financials. Which they clearly are not ready for.
In the future, as you say market demands it, it will still be very difficult to do so for Sony
What I think is they will do day one games when Gamepass Will force them to do so rather then when they are ready
horizon is on its 13th patch. It got released with ton of bugs. Obviously incomplete but u dont see them complaining.
I agree with most your points and thatās part of what I mean. It requires a huge amount of investments that again they CAN make but yeah it wonāt be easy and they seem to be taking it slower, step by step.
Has Sony ever released a game with Single player, multiplayer, forge and co-op all at the same time?
The guy is high af

The closest was Uncharted 4. It had campaign, multiplayer, and co-op mode. But the difference is the MP and co-op are just additive value features, they arenāt pillars to the game and werenāt supported or expected to be supported much, and the game isnāt gonna be judged based on them.
