@Chaoswulf1@JohanzelV This. If Xbox is to come back, they need to gut GamePass before they talk about exclusives. Make the Xbox community show up for these games & stop relying on PS5 and PC since they want exclusives that bad. If it's that important make them put their money where their mouth is.
@jez7780 We dont know why they are separate things, but we know why they are separate things lol.
Phil is gone but the Philnesse riddles remain. Now we have the 2.0 Asha edition with the return of "case by case", twitter besties, & CEO apologies lol.
The REAL return to XBOX*
Maybe im crazy but I feel like people keep over valuing Xbox IP as if them being exclusive will turn things around for Xbox. Xbox had exclusives a year ago without PS5 ports announced. Did everyone forget that? Did everyone forget out poorly they performed?
@pixelsanddice@tomwarren@asha_shar Thats not an excuse imo. Even if the games were not multiplat, they werent games people would have cared enough about to buy an Xbox. Hell, most of the Xbox games launched as exclusives with no PS5 announcement in sight up until Indiana Jones. People still did not buy Xbox.
@Matty_Cs_World@pixelsanddice@tomwarren@asha_shar ES is the only IP you named w/ potential to make something happen. Halo Infinite (exclusive) was F2P & did nothing. Forza Motorsport (exclusive) flopped so hard the studio fired that team & retired that series for example.
Xbox has lots of IP but the games are mostly mid.
@pixelsanddice@tomwarren@asha_shar You say "now" like they just acquired all these studios in the last year. They had all these studios while they were making exclusives lol. It still did not make a difference. People did not buy Xbox.
Xbox hasnt made games the mass care about for over a decade.
@pixelsanddice@tomwarren@asha_shar Yall gotta stop acting like exclusives are the savior of Xbox. Xbox had exclusives a year ago and it did nothing lol.
South of Midnight, Hellblade 2, Avowed, Forza Motorsport to name a few games. All launched as exclusives w/o any mention of PS5 or Switch. They all flopped.
@JayDubcity16 Redfall. Avowed. South of Midnight. Crackdown. Ryse. Recore. Battletoads. State of Decay. Pentiment. Hellblade 2. The Gunk. Bleeding Edge.
And they genuinely think people will drop Switch 2 & PS5 to go buy a $1200 Xbox for these kinds of games if they go back to exclusives.
God of War: Laufey is not a departure but an "expansion" of the franchise, more Kratos in the future, says Head of Creative Cory Barlog:
▪️God of War Laufey "still part of the larger tapestry of what we truly, really want to explore, all of these different characters in there", he says.
▪️[...]"there's always going to be Kratos games" - Sony will "always tell stories about Kratos"
▪️Laufey gives "us some place" to make fans "surprised and see how things connect"[...]"So for us, it's not a departure, it's more of an expansion"
▪️Kratos "drives the franchise forward, and we want to follow him. But there are so many interesting characters that we created along the way"

@dogzcosta@charlieINTEL Nah, you clearly just dont know what you're talking about. If it was Microsoft or Nintendo getting exclusive 2 day early access the ones reponsible would still be Remedy & EGP. Its their game and they determine whats included in their the marketing deal for their game.
@dogzcosta@charlieINTEL The publisher & marketing department of the studio making the game are responsible for the terms created for a marketing deal.
"They're the only ones pulling this shit"
Sony aint pulling shit as they are neither developer or publisher of the game, lmao.
