If true this is absolutely pointless. Who wants a pure streaming device that u also need the console or? Cant leave the house with good wifi so just use the console
Games are more modern than ps2 and beyond but games have transitioned quite a bit in design since these days. Its Retro and for the love of god Sony figure back compatibility out for this gen to play on current hardware
Have sackboy. I buy games im interested in anyway so the subscription for me is about catching those games that are so so or a bit outside my general appetite
Its fine if they have a contract with xbox to block it from playstation for a set period. Probably will skip it since its been out so long with no access to it.
I dont want more story modes like nba 2k. Just put in an ability in franchise to make an expansion team and even the ability to make a custom league like 2k games
Its obvious xbox paid a bag to keep the 1st game off Playstation. But then sales and player interest on xbox was piss poor and the sequel skipped xbox this time around
I buy most games i play so extra has fewer chances to wow me but good games like Ghostwire being added. Unfortunately few premium games outside of LoD and Wild arms 1/2 thus far
Play Code Vein if you are interested. Anime dark souls where u have a companion who can also heal you. Good story and not the challenge traditional souls games are to that extent.
Good to see Octopath and Ishin chart in top 10 to keep engagement with Japanese games high. Interesting when the top downloads come out for all territories.
So what happens when this gets approved and then they try to buy EA or Take 2, is this going to continued to be allowed. Invest in your teams and actually make good games without having to buy the biggest things out there. Mind you xbox isnt fronting the bill here as they are a nonprofit organization
Main Point should be that if xbox and its money at hand is buying then sure, but xbox is a nonprofit division and the parent company heavily subsidizes it and all these purchases. They shouldnt be able or allowed to buy things up in uncompetitive format. Let alone they refuse to invest in their own products and teams as XBOX hasnt personally built anything themselves
If you are not happy with this month then u never will be or are trolling. For premiums its been pretty much nothing up to this point and dragoon and wild arms 2 are huge
I really hope trophies are there at launch. I like having the trophy data there to look back on down the road to see what i was playing as well as add enjoyment in the first playthrough. Hoping we can buy as well. I have premium but this is one i dont want tied to it incase i dont want it down the road
@Americansamurai1 not until people stop buying it every year. It charted in top 10 in us in 2022 from PS sales alone. Business wise, no reason to stop the yearly big profits from the method. Plus theres no competitor for it
Good turn your brain off listen to podcast kind of game. Only issue i have is when u have to get 99.99% of dirt to clear. Looking for the specs of dirt cam be annoying at times
Switch is at the end of its lifecycle but xbox dropping off so much is concerning for 2-3 year tech, shows there has been no supply constraints there and stock may have been met
Well we know its not affecting sales on PS, as theres no expectation for day and date games of any sort any playstation in most cases represents +80% of game sales
@KaijuKaiser could just be a give and take, we do a deal with Final Fantasy, Square see writing on the wall with Forspoken and ask Sony to throw them a bone there as a sony exclusive also gets the game more attention. Simple business
@BranJ0 theres literally no software kr interesting software coming from xbox, players arent buying games so more and more developers skip the platform or do time exclusives. Literally only reason i have a series s is to play the 360 games that are no where else playable
