Phil could be joking with us by putting various things on the shelves since everyone is looking at them closely and reading into them too much. He could put Mickey Mouse -doll there and people would talk how Microsoft is buying Disney.Tbf, this seems purposefully deliberated, the 2 standout items are in your face honest.
"Microsoft buying THQ Nordic for Saints Row developer Deep Silver DOUBLE CONFIRMED!!!"Oh for fuck sake. Really?
Phil just leave a dildo on that shelf in the next stream please
Switch could be a good handheld for xCloud (=Game Pass Ultimate). More people, including Xbox gamers, would buy Switches for handheld gaming.I keep seeing this on the site, even in this thread, but could someone explain how Nintendo make money allowing Gamepass on the Switch? The app will likely be free, you pay the subscription on Xbox Store and it could lead to some of their Switch owners not buying as much Switch games.
They'd get 30 per cent of subscription fees, plus the added benefit of extra DLC and microtransactions sales.I keep seeing this on the site, even in this thread, but could someone explain how Nintendo make money allowing Gamepass on the Switch?

Nintendo won't do it for the good of their health, no business will. If they wanted to push Nintendo Switch Online they would have more online elements in their first party games, it would be more effective on Nintendo gamers than Gamepass.
So again, what am I missing?
I can see that happen tbh, not particularly interested but that would make sense.Death Stranding coming to xbox.
eitherway stuff behind him could mean anything, or nothing.
Oh for fuck sake. Really?

That's how it works for some people. Insomniac was a shitty studio and Sunset Overdrive a shitty game and when Sony bought them it was the deal of the century. Personally i still think Death Stranding is a boring peace of sh... and Kojima the most overrated person in gaming industry.And all of a sudden Kojima becomes an incredible developer by the same people who used to hate everything he did (for Sony).

Bad analogy. In fact it was Xbox fanboys who used to hate everything Insomniac did (Resistance,Ratchet) but when they made Sunset Overdrive (which was a turd IMO) suddenly they became God-tier developers (until they became a Sony studio then they became shit-tier again).That's how it works for some people.

This kind of generalization is the worst. Can you prove that every single Xbox enthusiast had this point of view ? Of course you can't. There were probably a lot of people playing on Xbox who thought the Ratchet & Clank were games nice/fine games...In fact it was Xbox fanboys who used to hate everything Insomniac did (Resistance,Ratchet) but when they made Sunset Overdrive (which was a turd IMO) suddenly they became God-tier developers (until they became a Sony studio then they became shit-tier again).
I swear every other post i see of yours, its always 'Xbox fanboys' related.Bad analogy. In fact it was Xbox fanboys who used to hate everything Insomniac did (Resistance,Ratchet) but when they made Sunset Overdrive (which was a turd IMO) suddenly they became God-tier developers (until they became a Sony studio then they became shit-tier again).
You have had Xbox players who were shitting on everything Kojima made (including MGS) and these people are suddenly having a change of hearts. You even see some in this very thread.
I don't like Kojima either.I consider him overrated and Death Stranding looks to be the most boring and most pretendious game ever. But i always had this stance (you can search my posts at early Death Stranding threads because after a point i started put them on ignore) and it didn't changed overnight like a lot of people will do if a collaboration or exclusivity deal with MS will be announced. If i hate something the most in this industry is hypocrisy.
Maybe it was not the best example (even though i saw a lot of blue warriors hating on Sunset and Insomniac), but i think we can agree that this works both ways for those stupid fanboys.Bad analogy.

There is a difference between enthusiast and fanboy. And i never said EVERY Xbox fan had this stance (thank God). But I DO know people who were and who are always like that. There is a Youtube gaming channel in my country (who are pretending they are an objective gaming channel lol) and you will not believe the spinning and backpedaling they do in order to show Sony always in a negative light and Xbox always on the positive. They actually spend more time shitting on everything Sony does (or does not) than what Xbox does even though they are obviously an Xbox channel. It's those people who are going to celebrate Kojima going to Xbox even though they always hated on him before. It's this hypocrisy that i find hillarious and annoying at the same time.This kind of generalization is the worst. Can you prove that every single Xbox enthusiast had this point of view ? Of course you can't. There were probably a lot of people playing on Xbox who thought the Ratchet & Clank were games nice/fine games...
kojima joining XGS is perfect fit, core Creator creating core games for core gamers.
*Looks at title of the thread*Hope the new Silent Hill is on all platforms.
He created the MGS franchise, nobody could say he's rubbish. His last game was pretty boring mind.And all of a sudden Kojima becomes an incredible developer by the same people who used to hate everything he did (for Sony).
Jesus didn't give us Game Pass.I’m not sure who’s bigger, Phil or Jesus?
Can’t argue with thatJesus didn't give us Game Pass.
Phil: 1 - Jesus: 0
If MS acquired KojiPro as a first party, I'm sure they would give them unlimited budget for making the big Hollywood blockbuster level of craftmanship game Kojima wants. Death Stranding was a good idea, but it kind of felt very barebones like.
Imagine a Kojima game with the Rockstar level of detail.
Whilst in the blue corner, Kojima's games will suddenly have always been bad and over rated, and Playstation doesn't need his games. Just like everything under the Zenimax umbrella (or is it? Some of GAF are telling me they're still good games and will be coming to Playstation). This war, man...And all of a sudden Kojima becomes an incredible developer by the same people who used to hate everything he did (for Sony).
I wishAre people high?
In practise, I reckon the opposite would happen.If MS acquired KojiPro as a first party, I'm sure they would give them unlimited budget for making the big Hollywood blockbuster level of craftmanship game Kojima wants. Death Stranding was a good idea, but it kind of felt very barebones like.

Many people say he's rubbish. Anyone has the right to not like his games even if they are MGS. The annoying thing is the backpedaling.He created the MGS franchise, nobody could say he's rubbish. His last game was pretty boring mind.
Both HZD and Death Stranding are on PC so cannot see why the engine would have any impact on platform release.wouldn't be shocked if we see gamepass on switch via xcloud streaming.
I don't see Death Stranding coming to xbox because...
- the game uses Sony's Demima engine.
- I don't think anyone on xbox is tripping over trying to get it Death Stranding and doubt it's worth the price tag it would no doubt cost to come over.
Don't Sony own the Death Stranding IP?Both HZD and Death Stranding are on PC so cannot see why the engine would have any impact on platform release.
It make sense for DS to come to xbox if purely to set up the inevitable sequel/next kojima game being cross platform.
Likely be on game pass considering the age of the game, another 9/10 game to add to the list, seems good.
Behind Spencer's head is a skull with crown. Anyone know if that's game related and where it might come from?
Gamepass and Xcloud are basically the same thing. By the time this deal goes through there will be 100 million Switch consoles out in the wild. That's a huge market and the selling point is being able to play AAA games on a handheld. Those games are also not available on Nintendo's eShop anyway, so it's a win-win for both companies.They'd get 30 per cent of subscription fees, plus the added benefit of extra DLC and microtransactions sales.
The flipside of that is they'd potentially lose sales on copies sold, depending how well third parties sell on Switch and how many people subscribe.
Personally, I don't see it. Gamepass doesn't work for Microsoft if they have to give up 30 per cent of their profit on a certain platform.
Xcloud? Potentially. Gamepass? I don't think so.
They do indeed. Doesnt make it impossible though, kojimas studio is independent so he has a lot of leverage.Don't Sony own the Death Stranding IP?

They're lumped together in Ultimate because Xcloud isn't currently viable enough to be a standalone product. That'll change, and standalone will absolutely be available in various places (Although it'll probably be called something Gamepass so subscribers can be counted together). It'll also take into account a platform holder's fee in the cost.Gamepass and Xcloud are basically the same thing.
