Shinobi said on Era: "for now"

 

[DJ12]

I think this might be what they have on the roster:
- Sea of Thieves - live service game that depends on the community playing it, having it on other platforms make a lot of sense if they're thinking about expanding an audience to multiple platforms
- Grounded - survival game with lower scope that is based around co-op, already finished its life cycle and have potential to reach new players
- Pentiment - small adventure game which can especially do well among Switch players who play on handheld mode or PlayStation Portal users
- HI-FI Rush - well-acclaimed game that didn't made a huge splash commercially. Having it on multiple platforms can give it much more recognition and improve its sales performance

I wouldn't count for Starfield, but I think Avowed, Hellblade 2 and Indiana Jones may have a big chance for releasing on PS5 in 2025

So other than Sea of Thieves, which one of those is a GaaS game?

he said two smaller games, and two service games.

 

[adamsapple]

Yeah but now they've had their hope crushed. With him saying this, they are smart enough to realize if it does come it definitely wont be anytime soon after its release on Xbox.

Can't wait for the first person immersive sim experience later this year.

 

[bender]

Happy for the Hi-Fi Rush team. They made an excellent game that can now be enjoyed by people in their home territory.

 

[Darsxx82]

It's amazing that they let a snowball grow so much when only for this.

Taking so long has only unnecessarily damaged the brand's image and created insecurity among its users.

In the end it ended up being what was expected, no bomb, certainly not the announcement of its disappearance Will more XBOX games besides those 4 come out on PS and Switch? That's for sure, since with Bethesda and Activision many Studios will release games that will only be profitable if they are released on multiple platforms. In fact that already happens.

But it is clear that the day when everything is launched on PS is not close and nor is it that it will be launched on day one.

The disappearance of XBOX consoles is not close either. There is going to be another generation of XBOX and in fact it sounds like it is going to be "traditional"(It's up to them if they think it's the best decision)
He has also left clues that new hardware will be announced at the end of the year (Xbox Handlead?, XSX slim?, XSPro?) and that in June there will be a Conference with big game announcements.....

In short, all this did not require waiting a week and letting Troy burn.

 

[mitch1971]

Boosting game sales can help with future hardware. So, why in the hell go the sub root when you could of been selling all these games like you normally would?

 

[Dazraell]

So other than Sea of Thieves, which one of those is a GaaS game?

he said two smaller games, and two service games.

Grounded. I believe he mentioned something about "community-driven" and that game was an Early Access multiplayer survival game which was updated for several years

 

[Eiknarf]

WHAT A DUMB BUSINESS MEETING

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

GL selling these 4.

 

[Little Chicken]

Honestly, these four games are great and worth playing.

If you want to try them for free*, you can with a month of Game Pass Ultimate™ starting at $1, available now on PC.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Can't wait for the first person immersive sim experience later this year.

I'm warming up to it. I think the fistfights will be much more strategic and involved in first person much like this game:



The former Starbreeze devs at Machine Games have had years to think about how to improve on this.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Wow what a fucking nothing burger.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

The first 4 of many.

Hellblade 2 on PS5. Maybe PS6.

 

[adamsapple]

First person exploration, puzzle solving and platforming ought to be pretty good. I don't expect them to go crazy like Doom Eternal but still.

 

[Jaybe]

For now (tm)

 

[nowhat]

 

[Sephimoth]

Is there a list of the 'leakers' who made up shit regarding this? So I can disregard anything by them in future?

 

[balls of snow]

They open Pandora's box and think they can get away tricking the faithful other games wont be ported.

 

[Portugeezer]

Not saying which games was a mistake. People will keep speculating.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Ah yes…the soft break in period like Xbox is just beginning to groom Xbots. I’m telling you this is a lead in to softening the blow of full scale multi platform for Microsoft. Screenshot and/or bookmark it or you want. But I guarantee you by the end of 2024, that’s exactly where we will be going. Next will be Starfield by the end of spring.

 

[Gudji]

MS finally becomes 3rd party great stuff.

 

[RickMasters]

Maybe state of decay? Makes sense as it’s a GAAS game by nature.

Shinobi said on Era: "for now"

ofc

people who still believe in Phil deserve to be mocked later lol

 

[Mowcno]

Shinobi said on Era: "for now"

Anyone thinking they will just stop at these 4 is insane lol.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Well Phil did say this: “don’t want to rule out a game coming to any other platforms […] currently focused on 4 games". Full quote via The Verge:

This quote right here is business talk and I can’t believe people are legitimately not seeing what he is saying right here

 

[Killjoy-NL]

how was the show today?

Exactly as expected.

I take it you completely missed the part where they said more games will come, but in different words?

 

[cash_longfellow]

Anyone thinking they will just stop at these 4 is insane lol.

This is just the first rub on the nipple. Can’t be smooth entry without foreplay first.

 

[DeepEnigma]

how was the show today?

Imagine thinking you're winning while your brand deities are porting games to the rival brand you hate.

 

[YCoCg]

Grounded? Could've at least rounded it up to 5 and done a PS5 native port of Psychonauts 2.

 

[Banjo64]

But I don't want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam's going to open and that everything else is coming. that's not the plan today.

The least convincing thing I’ve ever heard come out of Phil’s mouth.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Exactly as expected.

I take you completely missed the part where they said more games will come, but in different words?

He was smoking that copium during the event…there’s gonna be a lot of people picking parts that they wanted to hear without listening to everything.

 

[RickMasters]

how was the show today?

Now they be like:

They won’t be getting any of the big hitters, and that makes sense. Those are for selling Xboxes and game pass subs.


That said. I welcome PS gamers too, sea of theives…. Join in. You can finally stop hating on the game. Personally I’ll sink the lot of you at sea, with my crew. Looking forward to that.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Imagine thinking you're winning while your brand deities are porting games to the rival brand you hate.

I have no horse in this race, I just look at who the majority of fanboys are somewhere and call them out.

 

[cash_longfellow]

So laughable that people here really believe this isn’t the beginning of the end for Xbox exclusives. I wish I could turn on blinders like that.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Same. Much more people will also get to experience it now thanks to Microsoft. Either day 1 on xbox and PC or wait a year for PS. Everyone is happy!

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

​

Update: Games are:
Pentiment
Hi-Fi Rush
Grounded
Sea of Thieves​

Microsoft: four Xbox-exclusive games are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch

Microsoft is starting out small but has big ambitions.

www.theverge.com

Xbox chief Phil Spencer doesn't rule out Starfield and Indiana Jones coming to PS5. "I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform.



​

Please Tom dont lie i have seen the podcast they refused to tell what does four games are..you are just making things up....and between the lines they will be more games coming to Playstation but talked about 4 to soften the blow. It was standard PR fluf...Phil and Booty i dont believe you guys....

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

That The Verge interview after what Phil said in podcast is all you need to know about the science of doublespeak.

Everything will be on other platforms. eventually.

 

[Dazraell]

Maybe state of decay? Makes sense as it’s a GAAS game by nature.

Might be possible too. I can also see that both were created on Unreal Engine 4 so porting them probably wouldn't be that challenging

 

[Ribi]

welp time to sell my xbox and buy a ps5 then

 

[Gudji]

The day they announce Halo there will be a shit storm. I predict people burning xbox consoles in front of MS stores.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Is there a list of the 'leakers' who made up shit regarding this? So I can disregard anything by them in future?

What exactly was made up?

 

[cash_longfellow]

Give it about 6 months.

Shinobi said on Era: "for now"

I mean Phil himself is basically saying that, but you wouldn’t know it from the fanboys on here crowing like it’s confirmed they’ll stay exclusive and everyone who believes otherwise should be ashamed of their thoughts & deeds

Well Phil did say this: “don’t want to rule out a game coming to any other platforms […] currently focused on 4 games". Full quote via The Verge:

You mentioned that Starfield and Indiana Jones aren't part of the four despite rumors, but will those ever come to PS5? Can you rule that out?
I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform. We're focused on these four games and learning from the experience.
But I don't want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam's going to open and that everything else is coming, that's not the plan today. I also don't want to mislead customers on those other platforms. We're launching these four games, and we're excited about it. We're excited about the announce and everything else, but we'll see what happens for our business.

 

[Roberts]

Great for PS5 gamers. All four are classics. Enjoy!

 

[Killjoy-NL]

"That's not the plan  today"

"Today" is key here. He basically says that they might do it if things get even worse.
Which will happen.

 

[skyfinch]

Well
I watched it

Man, based on the way they talk, XBOX is the greatest thing in the world and PlayStation and Nintendo are small pieces of trash

They were speaking the truth. Grounded is game of the year 3 years in a row.

 

[Sephimoth]

What exactly was made up?

Indiana Jones, Starfield etc. Literally had one moments after the podcast aired: "I understand that Microsoft has also previously been weighing up the idea of bringing Gears of War, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and even the next Doom game to rival platforms"

"But it might come one day so it's not made up!"
Then I'd like to leak that Blinx: The Time Sweeper is coming to Sonys platform (you heard it here first)

 

[Goalus]

how was the show today?

Good summary.

They were speaking the truth. Grounded is game of the year 3 years in a row.

Are you sure? It doesn't feature any clowns in spandex costumes.

 

[RickMasters]

Well

I’m about to start watching it. Just gauging the comment in here for a bit first, while my lasagne bakes.

 

[Quasicat]

I was telling my PlayStation only friend about this last week and told him that is Hi-Fi Rush does come to PlayStation, he needs to play it. This makes me happy that he gets to play something he would enjoy even though he doesn’t have an Xbox.
