It's 2020 and we're still seeing multiplatform games that aren't Japanese that DO skip Xbox. The new Amnesia game. I watched a trailer, looked great and then I only see PS4 and PC.

Sigh

Has it been confirmed it's not releasing on Xbox?
When a game has a marketing deal with a platform owner the ads don't mention any other platform than PC and the console they have the agreement with usually

Yeah, it's usually games made by smaller teams that just don't have the resources to do both. At least not right at launch.

So, they choose the platform with the biggest number of potential customers.

Makes sense from a business stand point. Still sucks, though.

This will always be a thing with smaller sized devs no matter the strides Xbox makes.

Oh so it's a small team? Yeah that sucks. I believe the other Amnesia games never hit Xbox, did they?

But yeah, it's probably still gonna be a thing even with next gen. :(

They came late, like Soma did and I would bet an Xbox announcement will come not long after this game launches. Frictional has a stronger relationship with Sony and probably stronger sales on Playstation.

Edit: the inverse will also happen. If MDHR goes full multiplat in the future, they will likely prioritize Xbox over Playstation.

The same may occur for Moon Studios ARPG.

I don't expect a team that goes multiplat to favor the previous platform. They are going multiplat to reach new markets. So they will want to tempt the new market. Look at Remedy.

Yeah, this. I kind of think that's why Destiny had a load of PS4-exclusive guff; they needed to build a base on PlayStation and just figured their Xbox base would follow them no matter what.

(Obviously that deal would've been mainly driven by Acti, but I'd be surprised if Bungie had no input on it at all. And even then, it would also have been in Acti's best interests to cultivate a base on PS4, given they were the ones footing the bill)

oof - if this did happen, i personally think it needs to be restarted from scratch. the current build they showed off scapped tbh. none of that carried over and they do it with a fresh pair of socks one might say. specially built with next-gen in mind. gamepass and all that jazzerific stuff

Smaller indie teams don't always have the resources to do every platforms at once, so they have to chose. Generally, if no one has offered them money to chose one over the other and all other things like revenue split and time to certification being the same, they'll chose the one you have more experience with or the one with the better / bigger audience for your game, or some combination of the two. Then if the game does well on the first platform, you can try for the other one.

Hopefully rasist pricks that call English-speaking people insects would not get the funding they ask for.

I agree. I wonder if perhaps the game was just too ambitious for current gen?

I always thought this game looked cool, but I was never crazy for it. But, if it did get restarted, I'd love to see what they could do on next gen platforms.

Xbox Series S Price leaks at just $300 - MSPoweruser

The Xbox Series S price has leaked at a remarkably low price, somehow lower than the current-generation Xbox One X. But can we trust this leak?

“Really fed up with insects which never read my posts/header pic and just keep posting . THAT’S WHY I’m telling u not to post me in languages other than Japanese. If u break rules, that means u r brainless insect and will be blocked immediately. BE CAREFUL. https://t.co/FXlUj9gceN”
Yeah, i never seen that before nor use twitter. Wow... Yeah . i wouldn't want involvement with PG now. Considering their current "excuse" about 101 port for xbox, everything is starting to make a bit of sense to me. So if we dont ask questions in his language we are considered lower to him and labeled as insects. welp.

So are you guys ready for Gears of War...The Card Game?



Gears of War®: The Card Game offers an inmmersive way to enjoy Gears in a brand new format. In this story-driven campaign style game, the decisions you make in each narrative scenario will have serious consequences on the battlefield in those that follow. Strike at the right moment, making your cards work together, fight together, and stand together – and, if necessary, die together.

Do you know if this is going to be a physical game or a video game? Reading that page, couldn't find the right info.

Eeeh. That's a stretch.

Personally, I read it as him describing the people who don't follow his rules as insects.

He's a racist clown for this smh

I don't think that's the point at all. The point is he has rules for interacting with him on twitter, and if you break those rules, he doesn't like you and will block you. IIRC He used to not mind people tweeting in English until it became evident that a lot of the English tweets were degenerate and trolling. Don't think this has anything to do with racism.

Perhaps racist is not the correct word. Vile garage of a person maybe?
