That’s already made & out & another one won’t come out for another 10 years.

Giant Squid Games From the creators of Journey Platform PS5 Spiritual successor?!?! Edit:-Oh I didn’t know that now there is a separate thread for indies only. Sorry,please delete.

I hope they implement the old light & dark evasive gameplay nicely into this. It was a good breather back then with everything trying to copy RE4/Gears/Uncharted. Story & Atmosphere was bone chilling.

Is this a competitor to Diablo?!? or Dragon Age?!? Obviously looks nothing like ElderScrolls or Witcher.

I always hated pure turn based. Was glad to know that that 15 wasn’t. They can run parallel series for turn based games.

Phill himself said under oath that the game hasn’t even started Development yet & only once the Starfield team wraps up the main game they’ll start production on ES6. Typically it takes 5 years so 2028 is more like it according to his words. ES5 to ES6 will be a whooping 17 year gap. FO4 to FO5 will be another whooping 18 years if M$ wants the same team to work on it. Alternatively they can ask Obsidian to work on it. Only if they had known that they’ll own these IPs before asking Obsidian to start with Avowed & OW2. M$ needs some big IPs like ES & FO to be back in the game & I hope they know it.

I was hoping for a Shadow Of War Patch by now. Instead we got this crap 💩

Pappu is definitely having a field day once all this is over,for getting into a mess far bigger than the actual worth of the Xbox brand What’s the bet on how much money has been lost into/because of the Xbox business since 2000?!?

This is Playstation Essential. The original brain child of gaming subscriptions. It stays with you even if the developer disbands. Let alone acquired.

Xbox360 got a lot of third party exclusives. Infact it became a market leader based on these deals. Why did M$ pay Remedy,Epic,Crytek,Insomniac & Respawn to make games exclusively for them?! What “birth right do they have to do that?!?” As Jim Said there is a stark difference in Starfield being exclusive (which in his own words ain’t anti-competition) & ES6 being exclusive(which Phill confirmed as XB exclusive). Creating your own audience Vs Swaying away audience by blocking their access to content they are used to. But anyway this whole topic has been set aside by regulators & courts throughout the world as they don’t think any of the Bethesda games are big enough (last ES was 12 years ago) & M$ have convinced them that COD won’t go exclusive. So I’ll just drop this for future revaluations 10-15 years from now. When I’ll be a 50 year old As for the foreclosure through disparity in price/distribution:-

Everybody from the very start knew that federal court will not consider “market devaluation” or “spending away the competition” as anti-consumer coz theoretically a gamer getting games for cheap or free is good for him/her. The market disturbances caused by all this which would later lead to anti-consumer practices is what regulators around the world fear. But there is just so much that they can do facing a 2.7 trillion entity. Kinda like Reliance Jio is to India. But off all what the gamers should worry about is the creatively dry & inorganic expansionism which could potentially lead to creative harm more than anything else. A media consumer’s worst nightmare:- Brilliant example of two studios being bought around the same time with one under organic acquisition & the other to blatantly sway away the audience that solely exists on the competition!! Results are visibly evident!!

I said this long before & it is being reiterated in courts now. Organically generating exclusives for your platform is not & should not be considered the same as blocking popular multiplatform IPs which have a significantly more population on the competing platform. That equates to stealing,swaying away instal base of others instead of generating your own. Xbox has had a history of doing these things:- GTAIV Liberty Stories Rise Of Tomb Raider & now Bethesda. Meanwhile Playstation has maybe done that with Street Fighter but:- a.)It didn’t have a bigger base on XB b.)M$ pushed Capcom themselves by promoting Killer Instict & trying to become their direct competitor with huge marketing guns. c.)Since KI is dead it’s back to being multiplatform. Games like Final Fantasy,Metal Gear Solid,Silent Hill & many such others were always historically associated & home to the Playstation since the dawn of 3D era in gaming. They hardly sold on other platforms on few instances that they became multiplatform. One can’t blame Sony or the developer for partnering up when the other platform in question isn’t even generating reasonable revenue. It’s like M$ buying Gears IP & ppl complaining. & the baffoons who bring up Spider-Man again do it foolishly coz it ain’t no gaming IP to begin with. M$ is still free & always was to licence any number of comic IPs(including SM) & make their own game based on it. Apple to Orange comparisons.

Case is as strong as it can get!! But obviously with the Political & PR machinery that M$ has. & Millions of freebie mongers eager to get all of Activision’s past,present & future library on their disposal. It’s like:-

Would be glad to play Alan Wake one more time. Played the original release three times. Also COD is great. Already have Two ready in backlog & now this makes 3.

@AnK You really need to stop crapping each & every thread on these forums. You literally Don’t even own the system & have no interest in the said game & yet you are crapping these threads!!! Mods @Assassins Creed @MarketTantrik @Bulovski @ALPHA17 @joecool you need to put this guy out of his misery with warning points & restrictions!!!

Lmao. Quite Naive thought. Now that it’s quite clear & out in the open(what I had been saying all along) that the real goal is to spend Playstation out of business. They can just release a bare bones product in the name of COD & release the real meaty Game under a different label like “Modern Warfare”,”Black Ops” or “World at War”. Or any new name war sh*t!! Exclusively for their ecosystem to work through obligatory legal obstacles. When a company can threaten multiple nations over their petty gaming business worth only few billions,they can go to any extent to see it through that their main competitor dries out. Regulators are seeing through this but sadly too much political,economical & even security pressures involved.

Aggresive in Creativity =\= Aggressive in expansion. Wrong kind of aggression can lead to disastrous outcomes. I think the Xbox brand knows it more than anyone else. From market leader to 3rd place within a span of months,not even years. (2013 XBone launch)

Having marketing & promotional clauses is a very very common thing. It happens almost in every other business. Again the M$ shills & bots spun it like it was some sort of crime to humanity if something comes in the way of their freebies. Why the f**k would Playstation market any content free of cost on their store front if it’s being given away to increase some other ecosystem. It ain’t no rocket science. That’s why we see a tag of “Sponsored” when games like PlagueT Requiem appear on PSstore. They got to pay for their spot on PS promos as long as they are in a deal with competition. As simple as that. The developer has complete freedom to choose his options,it’s not like Sony is barring them from PS or anything. & it always went without saying that it’s vice-versa & Xbox won’t allow their contracts to be violated & the game being given on rival subscription. Some real dumb ppl exist on the planet to look at it as “Anti-Competition”. That’s called securing your investments!!

Yep exactly, dono what these developers are doing with that sort of budgets!!! https://www.gfinityesports.com/halo-infinite/halo-infinite-budget-rumoured-to-be-the-most-expensive-video-game-ever/

There was no such L given to Xbox360 Neither for $10 increase nor paid online. Infact it lead the industry from 2005 up until 2010 very comfortably. Just like Playstation is consistently since 2013 up until 2023. These L’s are only being circulated by circle jerkers online fictionally to make themselves more comfortable after playing trash AA consistently for last 5 years with dreams of AAAA every quarter!!

B-B-B-But Sony is posting record profits!!! Tlou2 must & has to be & infact is the reason for that!!!

It was an overblown issue & at that too it was tried to be put on Sony’s palms by the M$ marketing mechanism so that they can emerge as the ‘good guys’ for distributing games at $15-10-5-0 subscription a month. in 2006 when XB360 games started showing up for $10 more no one even spoke about it outside of the first few headlines. Which reminds me:-

A single game’s profit or loss doesn’t dictate the entire market!!! Is that so gullibly tough to understand!!! The entire industry isn’t dependent on TLOU2!! Just Like it wasn’t on Gears of War 1 in 2006. Two games which were both 14 years apart but still carried the same MRP. It’s an over all industry evaluation that’s done & a particular point of generational start is chosen when all the publishers unanimously start to increase their MRP on the new gen versions. Simply thinking that it’s a Sony thing(which M$ shills want you to believe) is outright retarded.

Not all of those 10m copies sell at a flat $60-70 MRP either. Just the day 1-day 100 units sell through at an MRP usually. After that the discounts kick in & ppl usually buy during offers. it goes as low as $25 within a year and a half. As I said it’s like discussing business with a bunch of toddlers who only started walking just yesterday.
