They will never accept that. Never. I remember when the gameplay reveal for Halo infinite was shown and some people were praising how it looked. If you called out that it didn't look next gen at all, you'd be accused of trolling or something along those lines. Its about pointing out areas where these studios and companies can improve. If we dont hold them accountable, the positive feedback loop will lead to bad experiences.
Can you play demon's souls anywhere else in that form ? Don't think so, but no it's not a new game and I don't care for it (even if Demon's souls is one of my favorite games of all time). Even if you leave it out you got Returnal and Ratchet coming (and i'm not counting Destruction All stars since it's not that great and already forgotten)
That game looked terrible and played terrible. Also Titanfall two did something similar. The Medium was at best a AA game.
The people that buy consoles at launch are the hardcore and in a generation where there is no clean cut off, where is the need for people to make that jump?
The Medium is not a Microsoft game, it was developed and self published by Bloober Team
To me it's MIcrosoft has released no new games since the consoles launched. I don't care if they were crossgen or not, but the platform owner has not released a new game for their console. And clearly, this will change in a big way, they bought a ton of developers for a reason, but that doesn't change that it's a very odd launch when the big first party release at console launch was a game I played and completed 6 months beforehand.
Saying they are disappointed by XY is different than trying to childishly bend the rules what first party means and why XY doesn't count.
Not really because this was not a normal console launch it was made in a pandemic which significantly slowed development time on a ton of games. Who knows how many projects Microsoft has delayed or pushed back due to the pandemic, there was probably quite a few games planned for launch but then problems occured so probably all bets on Halo Infinite, then when they had to pushed back they probably had to double down on gamepass.
Those people can't comprehend that another platform holder is giving you more value for less money because their favorite company is not doing the same and actually raised their prices!
Sony was probably much better prepared than Microsoft was, one company's preparation for a launch does not equate to another's if they were met with different roadblocks. I mean tbh none of Sony's launch window games have been super huge except for Ratchet and Clank? And do you think they would now do their 4th launch of new hardware and have nothing to fall back on? Either they were literally all in on Halo Infinite and gamepass or hit some major development difficulties due to the pandemic. I mean an Xbox launch without a Forza game is pretty wild in itself and as rumours suggested we're getting another Horizon before we get another mainline Forza game.
This doesn't make sense, because a Gamepass lineup with more first party games would improve the launch lineup and potentially increase the growths of GP. The most likely reason is what we can already see...
It is wild, because Turn10 never missed their release date. However Turn 10 said they got "the gift of time" from Spencer to reboot the franchise and make major changes to the game and engine alike. So the choice was deliberate.
Well yeah, sure, I agree with all this, just didn't feel the need to get this in-depth with my explanation, lol.
The static objects looked really good at the beginning of the game. Maybe even photorealistic but the character looked terrible. Honestly reminded me of PS3 era graphics. Then the gameplay was terrible. I immediately deleted the game.
Same. It's weird but I'm happy so that's all that matter to me.
They are simply doing what they have been doing for the longest time. There have always been indie games launching day and date so that is not anything new. What is new is AAA games launching on day one.
Battlefield is rumored to be revealed soon, and is supposed to be next gen first (with a heavily paired down last gen port outsourced to a different studio). So if those rumors are true there's that.
Yeah, I've read about this. Is it a fall 21 title?
I don't get this, first we are a bubble and only we know the in's and outs of the little details. Now suddenly the average consumer are aware of potential benefits when consumers don't even have a 4K tv yet (well maybe more do now after stimulus money)
I think the average consumer is smarter than purported amongst some hardcore gamers. I've never subscribed to contrary views on this. On the other hand, theres a difference between what the average consumer is aware of and what they care about. They want good looking fun games that don't have bugs or stutter. So they may not care about 60 fps as long as the game runs smoothly and consistently. They want games that utilize their new 4K displays by providing 4K content. They want affordable prices for gaming content and are willing to subscribe to a gaming service if it offers them a good deal. etc
