HiFi Rush was purely a campaign based SP game.

& they were about to disband the studio in no time so it obviously wasn’t about studio health either.

 

It’s the new M$ strategy under the ‘Project Latitude’

 

Anyone who thought future games from Bethesda & Activision-Blizzard aren’t coming to PS even after that…..was obviously on a delusional path since 2010.

 

Starfield will release on PS5 as the 1year anniversary edition including the DLC expansion.

 

HellBlade 2 will too soon after.

Considering no one played it even for free.

 

Indiana Jones is a Disney property so obviously that will too.

 

Only thing remains to be seen is if & when Gears & Halo show up on PS someday.

Tom Warren revealed the list of games under Project Latitude. Apparently a standalone Halo 1 Combat Evolved remaster port will come. I guess they want to test waters and reaction by just releasing Halo 1 remaster first. If reaction is crazy and fans get very pissed coz they decided to bring Halo to PS5, they might roll back. I mean doesn't make sense just to  release Halo 1 and not whole MCC? MS is quick to flip flop based on reaction of fans.

There is no “testing waters” after that.

 

The moment even a Single Halo or Gears drops on PS or Nintendo.

(ForzaM is dead anyway)

 

The remaining loyal minuscule fanbase of Xbox will vanish.

 

 

No going back after that final nail in the coffin.

 

 

Looking at the hardware sales….just doesn’t make sense to continue anymore.

 

Just stick to GamePass for Cloud,PC & OEM systems including their own as rumoured.

Hellblade 2 i hope they release it coz game flopped hard. People with gamepass didnt even play it. Most boring tech demo ever.  PS users like such games, hope they all will buy it. Lol


I hope they start offering discounts & updates for PS4 version of HellBlade 1 aswell which they stopped after M$ acquired the studio.

 

It was always suicidal for any studio to have a strong userbase on PS & then completely abandon it for the sequel.

 

I’m glad someone at M$ realised that & started on a positive note with Doom:Dark Ages.

MS flip flops all the time. They change strategy all the time. Halo 1 remaster is very old now. So its clear what they trying to do. You can mark my words. 

 

I mean they said they will never increase price of GamePass and dayone games are now part of 20$ GamePass tier not 15$ tier. 

 

And as far ss hardware is concerned then i wish they just abandon hardware and move all multiplatform but no they already confirmed next gen xbox during showcase.

Did u watch documentary released by Ninja Studio after acquisition? 

 

 

They were under heavy financial problems and they went to many publishers to get acquired but everyone said No. Only MS said yes on terms and conditions NT wanted.All studios that MS acquired were under financial trouble except Activision Blizzard.

They can’t just abandon hardware overnight after offering robust digital libraries to its customers for years.

 

It’s a lot of complicated legal obligation.

 

OEM route & integration of Xbox store with PC M$ store is the best scenario for them right now.

That’s why all this talk of backwards & forward compatibility teams.

Basically an Xbox users digital library will be converted to a Window Store library.

They will be multiplatform publisher & have an open source windows based platform at the same time.

 

That along with SteamD,ROG,LegionGo,Switch & PS all will have their games available.

Mojang,Zenimax & Activision Blizzard were far from financial troubles.

 

They literally overpaid for each of them.

 

If they would have been in trouble they wouldn’t have had the strong negotiation power to be overpaid by a desperate M$ Gaming division which would have been literally dead by now if they hadn’t made these major multiplatform publisher acquisitions.

Zenimax and all other studios acquired by MS except Mojang and Activision were in deep financial trouble. 

 

There were several articles over it as well

 

Xbox’s Bethesda acquisition is evidence of blockbuster gaming’s volatility.

Fallout 76

Redfall

Young Blood

ESO.

 

All were desperate attempts by Bethesda to recoup some Money they lost coz of Single player games like Dishonoured, Prey and all.  All of their live service games failed except FO76 and ESO. Fallout 76 now immensely popular thanks to TV show success

I actually liked the verticality of Eternal a lot.

 

For me Eternal > 2016. 2016 one is still a must play title.

 

And each enemy design especially in eternal felt like chess piece ( had specific weakness) and the fast paced combat only made things chaotic but in a good way.

 

Hopefully Gyro support is day 1.
