@gregorian I’m inclined to agree with most of what you said, apart from the potential blue point acquisition. Maybe I’m an optimist but I’d like to think that with the financial backing of Sony they would allow them to give them a chance to make their own ip. I also highly doubt anyone would buy rockstar. From rockstars perspective, what would be the point? They make money hand over fist, why limit yourself to what platform you can release your games on. I suppose you could say the lure of the big payout for the shareholders might tempt them but I can’t see it myself
If you think all Bethesda games will be available day 1 on game pass you must dreaming. They would of had to convince investors that they could recoup the money they spent and more, not to mention the production costs of each and every game they make. how would they do that if they release them all day 1 on game pass? Microsoft may be a trillion dollar company but the xbox division still has to prove it can make money, they don’t frivolously Chuck around money “just ‘cause they can”...
@ionmagus they don’t really need to. They have enough of their own studios which are superior in talent (imo). So long as they keep investing in them and green lighting them to make AAA titles then I wouldn’t be concerned by what Microsoft are doing
@2cents I find that hard to believe. Check out innocenceii’s vid on YouTube on whether ratchet and clank would even run on xbox x/s. Again he’s not a fanboy (pc master race 🤮)
My game of the of the year nom. I nearly didn’t buy this game, having bought bloodborne and finding it too difficult, but I didn’t really fancy Miles Morales so went for this instead. £70 well spent. Despite finding it difficult to begin with I persevered and loved every minute of it. Nearly completed now and I fully intend on trying to platinum it. Astonishing! I even want to go back to bloodborne again after, although with the rumours of a ps5 version I may hold off for the time being
