    I always though a game made by a studio you owned along with the ip and published by your own publishing label was first party. 


    By that logic CoD,GTA,BF & pretty much every other game is a First Party game. 
     

    Doesn’t work that way 

     

    First Party in it’s inherent term means the First Party (Platform provider) is making games for it’s own platforms.

    [quote]Seems like now we're also counting exclusives as first party?[/quote]

     

    Third Party be it even exclusive to a single platform is not categorised as First Party.

    PS- looking it how ms is moving forward, I guess they want to dilute the concept of parties and transform itself into a publisher, publishing games on every platform fathomable. 


    They aren’t really making any money on hardware business. 
    Neither systems sold nor software royalties attached to it. 
     

    Only through subscription & that too is so heavily discounted with respect to content being offered,that it’s borderline free. 


    Their only sole motive right now is to attract as many subscribers as possible in their lead up to the mainstream cloud streaming service. 
     

    So potentially in future when all the studios that they have lined up start to make quality serviceable games, they can potentially stop this “freedom drive” & open subscriptions on every possible platform. 
     

    Ditching hardware business at that point would make complete sense.

    Yep. But all this will change when more PS games come to PC. It will be fine and first-party there. :lol:


    How is the situation of PS studios starting to release games alongside on PC even remotely similar to this situation?!?

     

    If hypocritically Sony releases some game on PC but not on PS,

    Obviously that game won’t be categorised as a First Party


    I think there have been instances where Sony Online entertainment has released games only on PC. 
    Obviously those weren’t First Party label. 
     

    Talk about the spin….JesusChrist :ack:

    ignoring the fact Studio and IP both are MS owned. Lol

     

     


    By this very f**k all logic

    it would imply that every single game ever created by every single publisher who owns the studio & IP 

     

    Is making a “First Party game” :rofl: 

     

    Listen up guys every single game by Activision,EA,Ubisoft,Bathesda,2K were all “First Party” games :rofl: 

     

    Arrey bhai kya jokergiri chalu hai idhar :doh:

    Exactly. This is such a waste of time. Just like in real life, you pay money for something, you either licence it or own it. It's that simple. Everything else is a made up definition to win arguments on the internet. Doesn't matter which side it is. Moving on.


    Exactly 

    something that doesn’t have anything to do even remotely with “Xbox” is being brought up here in an Xbox related thread again & again just for the sake of pointers & count. 
     

    I wonder how many traditional console gamers even had a look on this franchise until recently.

    You are confusing platform with hardware. A platform is a much broader word. It can mean hardware and/or software. Similarly, PC is open and a much broader term; it encompasses a lot of platforms.


    It’s not really me who has been traditionally defining “first,second & third party” gaming softwares. 
     

    It’s always defined in terms of hardware it’s running on & who is providing both hardware & software. 
     

    By your logic if Nintendo or Sony buy OS from some third party company & then run their IP’s on their platform through non proprietary OS,they wouldn’t be labelled “First Party” anymore. 
     

     

    I highly doubt that could be the case coz they themselves use N number of different third party software & hardware to assemble “their” proprietary machines.

    Why isn't AoE4 first party then? Doesn't MS own the Windows platform?

    Windows is an OS 

     

    not the system that’s running the software. 
     

    Also PC is an open platform. 
    You can combine n number of different softwares & hardwares to run things. 
     

    It’s PC that’s running the OS &!! the Game both made by M$ 
     

    It’s like saying Orbis/XMB OS of PS is the platform & not PS itself.

    Devs are figuring out how to port it to Xbox 

     

     

     

    Till the time it’s not 
    or it’s not streaming right of of M$ Xcloud servers. 
     

    It’s not first party

     

    Coz you need a non M$ owned device to run it. 
     

    Mere ownership is different from “First Party Software” 

     

    Until it’s not your IP,Your money,your platform that’s running it.

    It’s not first party software.

     

    How hard is it to understand.

    Halo however is coming off the colossal failure that is halo 5.  


    I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a failure & that too a colossal one. 
     

    But Halo & Gears held status of GoW,Spider-Man,Uncharted,TLOU hold for Sony today.

     

    That is just not the case since the developers changed. 
    & they are not the same market leaders as they used to be. 
     

    Still quite good games by the looks & opinions.

    Demon’s Souls on ps5 raised the bar too high for the graphics in Souls games for me. 
     

    Bluepoint nailed everything with that game, the art direction, graphics, feel. Everything was on point. 
     

    Maybe that’s why I’m a bit apprehensive about the graphics here. Looks good nonetheless. But not Demon’s Souls lvl. 


    Demon Souls had the oldest design of corridor lurking. 
     

    The evolution that Fromsoftware games have taken since then leading up to the full blown open world design of Elden Ring,just doesn’t allow for those sort of visuals. 
     

    It’s always going to be the Scale vs Visuals debate.

    See, you're better off talking to a dry wall than arguing with that colossal idiot.

     

    As for MS, I agree they started late to have any impact on SX launch window. However, they seem to be on the right track. GP service is excellent, FH is a killer, HI looks great and they have promising titles on the horizon. Sure not near PS on exclusives front just yet, but MS has improved a lot over the shitshow that was XB1.


    Forza & Halo were always coming 

    they have been coming along with gears for literal infinity.

     

    Though it’s good to see Forza keeping its quality of killerapp intact unlike Halo & Gears which are no longer of same value as before. 
     

    The only & only thing M$ should be given credit of with regards to newly acquired games & IP’s is buying them up like a good(going out of business) retail chain & offering them on their shelves for free. 
    That credit is well deserved & undisputed. 
     

    But taking credit for their quality & status in the market.

    Far fetched.

    @AnK is perfectly correct. Both the games are not on the xbox consoles yet.


    Even the ones which are,

    aren’t first party exclusives & just first party games. 
     

    M$ didn’t have sole rights to them as they had given contractual rights to other platforms. 
    Talk about taking credit for something you don’t even have sole rights to :rofl: 


    But go no further than our world renowned spinner & mixers to try & give to their beloved.

    Allright dude… AOE 4 isn’t first party :roflroll:


    It’s first party in terms of PC Subscription. 
    Not hardware. 
     

    You guys really don’t know what first party inherently means. 
     

    Deathloop is far from first party as of yet. 
    It will only become once it lands either on hardware (to become hardware first party) 

    Or subscription (to become subscription first party content). 
     

    Go get a clue on what business language is before acting smart.

    What is wrong in this statement?!? 
     

    First party does mean when you own the IP……

     

    …….& it’s available on your system. 
     

    As it’s you yourself the first party in both IP & System ownership. 
     

     

    Do you even know the basic business language?!? 
     

    Edit:- the quote you brought up had the context of only IP ownership in question,not platform availability hence no mention of that. 
    As it was always available on PS consoles throughout. 
     

    Lol nice try to pull my stunt on me though :P

    I’m straight forward & clean unlike others who I pull it on.

    You are the only who is clueless. They own Deathloop


    Achhaa 

    Why aren’t they releasing it on their own system?!? 
     

    Even after a famine of games why the f**k wait?!? 
    Truth is that the factual ownership will start once Sony’s rights on it expire. 
     

    Till then it’s not IP under M$ rights. 
    Go cry a river now.

    Now Age of empire is also not MS first party just coz its not on Xbox?

     

    :rofl:

     


    Lol 

    First Party means your IP,Your System & made by your studio.(either owned or hired) 

     

    Neither Deathloop nor Age of Empires have even released on Xbox proprietary system of M$. 
     

    How the f**k can you call them First Party games. 
     

    It’s M$’s third party games for other systems. 
    Go get your facts checked before spewing crap.

    Arkane and Double fine are 1st party. Stop living in denial, MS owns them and the IP lol. 



    Arkane has yet to release any first party game on M$’s proprietary system. 
     

    You guys are so clueless that you don’t even know what first party actually means. 
     

    It’s M$ Owned in last minute of Deathloop yes. 
    But the studio has yet to provide a “first party” IP for M$ 

     

    Go get your self some wisdom before speaking factually incorrect statements.
