Hope this isn’t some kind of token gesture so MS can say “See, we don’t restrict our games to only Xbox and PC, unlike Sony and Nintendo. Please accept our proposal to buy (next game company they buy for several billion dollars).”
With huge delay where it should be discounted by release but they tret it like brand new, maybe a mediocre texture enhancment fans could have done better and calling it remasteted, then with the forced useless psn log in…
Completely agree with you, but MS is doing this for money too, they just think it’s a strategy that works better for them, specially because they are selling least amount of consoles.
Dude, MS has been dumping and killing the value of games so much, the entire industry is shifting to free to play live service. MS single-handedly ruined the past 10y of the games industry with their push to remove physical ownership and move everything to the cloud so they can double dip with Azure and Xbox. Furthermore they are responsible for the introduction of pay to play online and on Xbox you had to pay to play F2P games online until recently. Sony are greedy cunts but MS is not even on the same level of evil, they are pure distilled cancer and thanks to them the 2nd hand industry for game copies is struggling, everyone went live service because full price game sales went to shit thanks to gamepass (which is still not profitable) and now they have orchestrated a coup to kill Ubi so they can buy it the same way they did with Nokia. FWIW, the whole PSN debacle started with the sanctions on Russia.
At least a year after releasing it on console, in an attempt to get players to buy the console for the sequels. I think there’s at least a small chance they might start releasing them sooner but we’ll have to see.
I don’t think it’s a token gesture. Microsoft is a software company; they want to sell software, not hardware. They don’t really care about xbox other than as a means to sell more software and gamepass subscriptions. Selling their games on as many platforms as possible is a logical move for them.
Yeah, I dont know about this one, chief. Initially I was kind of on board with it, I really liked some of the Alien-esque designs and seeing some of the logos of various companies was interesting. Particularly Porsche as a ship designer, and I liked the shaders they showed for the CRT technology. But then they showed the cockpit of the Porsche and I literally said out loud “Holy crap, that ship is huge, Porsche would never make something that massive.”
From the initial shots I was expecting something more or less the size of a fighter jet, not something that dwarfs a Lun-class ekranoplan.
I thought it might be some kind of take on F-Zero or Cowboy Bebop where the player is a race-driver by day, vigilante bounty hunter by night type of game. Which was pretty cool to me. But then the longer I watched the worse it got. The bounty dispatcher or whatever is a woman version of budget Snake Plissken and a smoker, but the voice actor sounded like she was lifted from a 1940s movie and had never smoked a day in her life (rare, I know, but still). I expected at least a hint of gruffness from her character and got absolutely zero of that. The main character was fine I guess, kind of bland so not really much for me to comment on.
I need to see more to really make up my mind on it, but as it is I am leaning on passing this one up. Plus its a Sony game and I just don’t like Sony at all. Also, all the logos kinda felt advertisey by the end of the preview.

I felt the same way when I heard her voice. Not near rough enough for how that character looked.
I’m pretty excited about that! I loved Warcraft II and never got into any of the warcrafts that came after though, and haven’t had great experiences with Wc2 on modern hardware.
Really hard to imagine that they won't milk the shit out of it.
Edit: First thing I saw checking on Reddit was a repost of a Tony Hawk photo and comments claiming the anniversary being today. Totally not marketing.
