Don't know if they have changed their intent/view about this in 2021. Another possible episodic release https://wccftech.com/microsoft-the-initiative-episodic-black-mirror-divisive/ No info on this yet this year. Having one or 2 studios putting out episodic content means nothing out of 23 studios with multiple teams. GP has all kinds of genre and variety ,it will just add to that. Also there are no indications that xbox is rushing out games now since they have got full support of MS( since 2018) . All 3 major franchises like forza ,gears and halo have seen extra dev time instead of the usual 2-3 yrs. This is also reflected in their Pc game ports which have been great. Games like fable ,starfield ,avowed ,the outer worlds 2 ,hell blade etc are going to be great sp games coz all studios are getting full support and continuing to grow . There are no reports since 2018 when the 1st studio was acquired that Ms are interfering in their functioning in any way. Also all these comparisons about stadia and xcloud is just laughable when one has a history of decades in developing games behind it . I doubt porting to xcloud is a very difficult job when content is already being developed for consoles and pc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Netflix plans to enter cloud gaming now. I wonder if xbox can compete with Netflix's installed user base? The whole concept of gamepass is based on user acquisition. If that plateaus, the service would come on shaky grounds. Btw how many of those 23 studios are churing out aaa games that'll launch in the next two years. Whatever games you have quoted, leaving Starfield , don't even have a release date yet. Yet you are hyped about them . Lol!

But paying 5000 to sony for 10-15 hours of Sp is perfectly fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what percentage of people even play online games in india? Considering india being a sunshine country and gaming having a lot of potential? I am quoting steam here as pc gaming is the most popular mode of gaming and steam has hugely popular games like csgo. Plus it has regional pricing and gives games at good discounts. I mean aoe 4 is cheaper on steam than on MS store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But paying 5000 to sony for 10-15 hours of Sp is perfectly fine? Aoe 4 won't be feasible in a sub model imo. Such games don't have a lifespan if you play online/with friends. You would want to play it for a longer time than what they offer you (2-4 months?). Some games are better bought than rented. For instance quoting your example of Alan wake. When you wanted to play it, it was out of gamepass. Regarding Sony's pricing, I'm not fine with it. 5k is a bit too high. But to think of it, that price would help them to break even and they'll keep churning out blockbuster aaa games for a forseeable future. That's what I want. Hope ms does the same.

A Trailer/teaser is up on sonys official channel, though it might not represent the actual product, but we atleast know what the game/setting et al is about. Plus the developer is giving updates. How True/false are these we would find in due course. also I'm more excited about kojima working on the game rather than the game itself. Atleast for now.

Best case scenario it is Silent Hill, worst case scenario it's an indie title that may or may not be good. But either way, this is an epic ride, the conspiracy theories, the memes, I hope this doesn't end soon. Guess we'll know on 22nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know more about abandoned than the games which were mentioned, which don't even have a release window. Look, abandoned might bomb more than dnf. However Kojima potentially working on a new title is exciting to say the least. I never said that the game would be a blockbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out how you commented on Trigger's hype and yet you do have a hype of your own. To know more about why I am hyped about kojima, read about how many games (he has developed) have received perfect scores. Kojima is a hall of famer. Its natural to get hyped about a potential new IP he might be working on. As I have said, it's more about him than the game he is developing. The game might very well, fail! The other person had already assumed that the games would do extremely well, without even having an iota of information on those titles. My comment was made on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, I don't even need to know "why" you are hyped. The very fact that you are is good enough. As I said, I am happy for you. But, when I read the latter part of your comment, I do get a feeling that you have some "criteria" by which you judge whether a hype is worth celebrating or not - and in this case, you deemed Trigger's hype not worthy enough. Thats just sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
