XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

Remember when GT7, Forbidden West were supposed to be PS5 only and overcome the spec deficit? What a disaster!

The irony is that those games sold more on PS5 anyway.

I agree but the TLOUP1 remaster wasn’t originally being done by Naughty Dog. It was moved to them during mid-development so they could have been working on something smaller like an expansion. I can see Factions, the Abby expansion and then TLOUP3 to end the generation. At this point, just have to wait and see.

So if that’s true… instead of adding HFW or GT7 to the Plus catalog or expanding their service to new devices, Sony would rather spend tens of millions on exclusivity for a niche game remake?!

I am a gamer, I have game pass, I play call of duty, I won’t have to spend money on call of duty, that’s a fucking win for me.

Source? Because till now there is nothing from Sony yet.

We can roughly extrapolate it for every game.

Poor indie company Sony struggling to get content for their console. I have a gut feeling there is a shit ton of these sort of documentation that has been leaked to someone. I hope they’re all posted online.

Finally got better internet and tried out some cloud titles

On my old internet it was more or less unplayable before and I only used it to get some super easy Microsoft Reward objectives so I wouldn’t have to download them

Decided to boot up Immortality since I’m still on XB1 and this shit runs flawlessly, straight up felt native

Then I stuck on some Gears 5 multiplayer and although there was definitely some ever so slight latency, I was killing people and wall bouncing no problem, this shit is the future

I’m seeing a ton of Disney+ and Prime Video’s Rings of Power billboards advertising lately when driving and I wonder if MS will ever follow the same strategy ? I think I have never saw a single ad about Game Pass.

Maybe when their TV initiative is ready and when there are more TV sets compatible with the Game Pass app in the living rooms ?

Amazon spent 1b, 1 BILLION on that show and there’s reports that if it fails then they are in serious trouble with their whole streaming service they need to advertise it out the ass

As for GP, who knows, MS haven’t really been going all out in anything yet when it comes to advertising but I did sort of theorise that maybe they will wait until they have everything in place before they start going super hard with it

Family Plan, a consistent line up of “bangers”, XCloud everywhere etc

So if they were gonna do it, next year would be it

This, same reason xCloud is in beta and the reason why they aren’t blasting it

I think Xbox has a pretty good attachment rate of Xbox owners on Game Pass and don’t have a problem moving Xbox’s so pushing too hard on the ads probably isn’t necessary.

I do expect when they have pucks and TV apps out there in full force they’ll need to do more to attract non console owners.

No need to go this hard with marketing when people can barely get consoles in stores.

You’ll see an explosion in 2023 imo.

There is no reason not to assume that digital sales are not skewed similarly. Consumer habits do not change that easy.
