Yes thats why HW2 is not going to Steam or not soon. As active development is stopped for that game. And bringing a game to Steam isnt like a press of a button.
FH4 and SoT are possible if we look only that way.

FH4 and SoT are possible if we look only that way.
yes, very much so. SOT will probably hit Steam at some point. Doubt many older titles after that will.
I imagine development on the next Horizon game is underway, and perhaps with licensing it's not worth releasing FH4 on Steam. When next gen rolls around, if SoT gets a next gen version or when W10 store sales start to wane, we'll see a Steam release I'd guess.
HW2 makes some sense since the last one didn't do stellar numbers.
I can imagine its all hands-on deck with the new console. Still think outsourcing to THQ Nordic , Sumo Digital etc. would have really helped bring those games to Steam.
We can easily imagine FH4 would sell 5 Million on Steam. SoT would be a big deal on Steam if it was priced at 30$. Easier said than done though :)
All XGS games moving forward will release on Steam. Past games that developers are still working might get Steam releases such as FH4.

As someone who plays his Xbox most days of the week this is factually incorrect though it has been down twice in the past three days but I suspect that's because they are getting hammered with everyone at home.
Then it just so happens to go down when I decide to use my Xbox
Nah. Just seems like that now its down again within 2 days.Xbox Support on Twitter

Agreed. I remember back around October I tried to play twice in a few day span and it was down both times.
Edit: is there anyway I can play games offline. Tried the go offline option but still won't let me start anything.
Ohhhhhhh didn't think about that, my friend and I set each other's console as our homes.
If those rumors are true about Sony acquiring Silent Hill, Castlevania and Metal Gear....damn,that is rather crazy. It would surprise me because I thought actually was going to introduce even more new IP but buying three franchises isn't what I expected. Not gonna lie, I want to see all of these in Xbox too but if this is how it is, so be it.
I haven't paid any attention to these rumours (beyond seeing the one where Sony were apparently co-developing Silent Hill), but I would think if there was any truth to it, it'd be licensing (for video game use), rather than outright purchasing IP. AFAIK, Konami still make pachinko machines etc based on those properties..?
No idea, I would assume every planned announcement is getting a "Is this the right time, maybe we should revaluate in a few weeks?" pass at this point in time.
Man I cant wait for the ios version to get more games lol
I doubt it's true. but if it is then like you said, so be it. I think the rumors of two Silent Hill games Sony are licensing and funding are more likely to be true.
That's a good point. Or could it be a deal that Sony buys the IP so they can make games of it while Konami still is able to make Pachinko as well?
Does the iOS build have fewer games, then? I didn't know that!
I guess that'd mean Sony buying the IPs then licensing the non-video game rights back to Konami, which seems needlessly complicated to me. But I admit, I know next to nothing about this stuff!
On another note, I wouldn't be mad if Sony were looking to license and co-develop a new Silent Hill. Obviously I'd rather it be available on everything, but if it's a choice between never getting another Silent Hill, or getting one that's exclusive to Playstation, I'll take the latter deal all day long.
yes
could be the case
tbh it's ( too good to be true) but maybe it's true
Not a bad idea at all, but didn't BGS or Bethesda Softworks say they wouldn't let anyone else develop a Fallout anymore? I really recall them saying something along those lines.
Ooh, imagine Obsidian making another New Vegas while InXile make a proper Fallout 3.
Never gonna happen :'(
It wouldn't surprise me if they did, but they are definitely a lot busier now + humbled by 76.
Supposed image leak of upcoming games lists Titanfall 3 among other surprises. Also sets the date for the release of the Xbox Series X on November, 15th 2020. 👀
I think that's Nov 15th - The day the original Xbox and Halo launched
The shooty-shooty parts are great! I'll put up with the empty driving and whatever the stuff is that happens outside of the shooty-shooty parts because id Software-style shooting is just 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Licensing an IP is one thing, but outright selling them is kind of beyond dumb and I doubt Konami even if they aren't using them are going to sell their IP.
I would be for it, otherwise we won't be seeing a proper SP Fallout for many, many years. First let's see what Starfield is gonna be like. For a brief while I thought seeing it at E3 this year could be possible, until they canned E3. Still can mean they'll reveal it during some online stream but.....doibt that.
If the Sony rumors are true it'll mean they will have added three rather huge franchises to their offerings and you can bet these won't be small scale games. That's what I hope to see from MS in the future too. They have a lot of studios, but it's gonna take time to see some real big projects I'm sure, and these studios will need time to grow. But I look forward to it.
Actually, I hope they are not done yet with adding studios to XGS. :)
