    Get with the fucking times.  If you're still complaining about something tech based in 2024 being possibly online only then you're pathetic as fuck.  ALL of these devices are USELESS without internet as it is.  Who doesn't have internet these days?  If someone doesn't have an internet connection, then maybe they should be worrying about things other than videogames.  Let the medium evolve ffs..:pffft:


    Lol, yeah, physical media or not the people using the internet as an excuse is fucking stupid. As if they live in a log cabin with dial up but also have a PS5 with a 4K TV in there.

    This is the cost (or what MS expects the publisher would ask for) of getting games day one on Game Pass:


    Star Wars Jedi Survivor - $300M
    Suicide Squad - $250M
    Assassin's Creed Rift - $100M
    Gotham Knights - $30M
    Dying Light 2 - $50M
    LEGO Star Wars - $35M
    Baldur's Gate 3 - $5M (after Larian's huge success, I don't think it will be only $5M anymore)

    GTA V - $12-$15M per month 
    Red Dead 2 - $5M per month. 

     


    Mortal Kombat 1 - $250M

    Dragon Ball: The Breakers - $20M
    Return to Moneky Island - $5M
    Wreckfest 2 - $10-$14M
    Just Dance - $5M
    Blood Runner - $5M
    Glitch Busters - $5M

     

     

     

    MS literally spending hundreds of millions of dollars to beg publishers for games :kaz:

     

     

     

    LemiJ - "Nintendo and Sony copying gamepass anyday now" :grimaceleft:


    This is what I don’t get with Gaypass, you have about 10 games here at a cost of a billion dollars. They make about 3 billion dollars per year through game pass revenue (not profit) but this has obviously had a huge negative impact on physical sales. You’d like to think gamepass would fund there on 1P development but with Sony spending $250 million per first party game that won’t go too far. 

     

    In its current form they may be making some money on it, but there model, which I’m sure they have in mind, would be to have almost all third party releases on Xbox going through gamepass, but to do that, they probably do need 100 million subscribers to make it worthwhile. They forced themselves into a strange chicken and the egg situation, they need the content to get the subscribers but they need the subscriber to pay for the content. Of course they can also try and spend there way towards getting the content but after Bethesda and ABK I can’t see the regulator allowing any more big takeovers (they’re smoking crack if they think they can buy steam or Nintendo). 
     

    If they did manage to get up the magic number of 100 million, they probably would be out of sight in terms of the control of gaming media, but it seems very unlikely looking at there current position in third place. What they’ve possibly gone and done is found a way to make less money from the games that release on there platform, which hasn’t translated into more console sales and has also plateau’d in terms of subscription numbers. 

    More MS email leaks: MS still trying to acquire Nintendo and possibly Valve. Playing the "long game"

    Phil’s stupidity is hard to actually put into words after reading this. He wants Nintendo, the company who have literally just sold over 100 million consoles due to there hardware innovation (something I don’t think the Xbox has ever done) to see that there future is “away from hardware”. 
     

    Conversely, when Nintendo’s hardware was bad, with the WiiU, barely anybody bought it for the software alone. 
     

    And all this is ignoring the fact that no regulator is going to allow this especially after ABK. 
     

    He’s just, unfathomably stupid.

    FF7 Rebirth looks fun. Especially since it's some of my favorite moments in the game, I always enjoyed the parade and Golden Saucer events. 

     

    But it's also what I used to joke that they would do, this is basically the end of disc 1 and early disc 2. :pavarotti: 

     

    I expect SE at some point to just change things so they can shorten the story. Like completely omit certain parts of the story and will replace it with modern Japanese garbage.

    I was 11, basically the first year of middle school in the UK. Somehow none of the teachers showed it or explained it to us, I doubt they wanted the responsibility once it was obvious it was a terrorist attack. Got home, turned on the TV and saw the towers coming down over and over again on every channel, I can clearly picture that. I can also remember that evening but not the time I spent in school.  

    STARFLOP!!!!!! 7 AT GS and IGN!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!

    There are tons of threads out there asking the same question.

    Why did this game get a 7?

    Mainly because there are also a ton of fgt cow tranny dick suckers whom will downplay anything that is not coming to their trans woke favoring console.

    Interview with Xbox CMO before Starfield reviews hit: Starfield is the "starting gun" for first-party Xbox games; "this is the beginning of something that's going to be really special,"

    Speaking at Gamescom, where the company has been showcasing the sci-fi RPG extensively, Xbox chief marketing officer Jerret West said the Bethesda game marks the start of a prolonged period of regular new Xbox exclusives.
    "This is, in my mind, the doorway, almost like a starting gun, to what I think is going to be a multi-year relay race of first-party titles," West told us
    "I was sitting there watching the same     [Starfield presentation] you were this morning and I was like… this is really the start of something that's going to then lead to Forza, then in 2024 as we go to Hellblade, and we think about Towerborne which is on the show floor, we think about Avowed, and we've got stories we haven't told yet as well, that are going to unfurl in 2024 and 2025.”
    Xbox has struggled for consistency with its first-party titles over the last 18 months. 2022 featured few exclusive releases, while its most notable game so far this year, Redfall, was reviewed poorly. However, the firm’s summer showcase in June was received positively from the media.
    West continued: "This very much feels like the starting gun for this relay pass that's going to take place over the next couple of years. So as a marketer, I'm super excited about that. And then if you layer in also, Game Pass and the third party relationships that we have... Our third party support that rolls into Game Pass – but also is just on our platform – is critically important too. So I think we are entering a period where this is the beginning of something that's going to be really special over the course of the next several years."
