@TheFrenchiestFry it would be suicide for the franchise to be locked on xbox console but it wouldn't be, it would be on PC and Android through streaming which would be huge in Asian markets. I think you're right that a partnership is far more likely. If Microsoft wants its gaming services to appeal to other markets it would make sense to have internal Japanese dev teams (besides tango) supplying content to those services.

It's just logical.
If the move makes sense and if they have the money, why not?
We all think they can't possibly buy more because of how much they already spent but their wallets are still full.
Personally I hope they buy Sega so we can finally get Persona games on Xbox, I have no clue how likely the purchase is.

Damn was hoping they would add it in with game pass. To have a multi media subscription for like less than 20 bucks a month would be sweet.
People who hate on Japanese games/anime don't seem to realize that Microsoft should be trying to appeal to as many gamers as possible not just a pure Western audience.
It's part of the reason Sony kicks their ass in worldwide sales.

Other than re7 which can be bought at a discount price not much there for Xbox. Hoping they have a surprise announcement later this month.

Awesome trailer, can't wait to take the fight to the commies

Damn a delay and hiring additional support.... Someone must not be too happy with 343

Great review, I'll definitely try it out on game pass.

@KelticDevil are you whining about the "whiners"?

Cute console concept. Sad reality that the game isn't on Xbox.

I completely agree, I don't know why they bothered to attach it to 12 in such a meaningless way. Could you imagine a remake like 7, would be awesome

@mousieone why's that?

I have never played 7 so I'm looking forward to playing through the original before the remake comes to xbox.
I can't see it being better than tactics though

IMO it was the right decision for the game and franchise so at least they made the right but tough decision.
I also hope they seriously review it's progress because I really question 343 at this point.

@Jacko11 I applaud your well written responses, but I believe it was wasted effort.

@BlueOcean I'm not saying he is a bad guy but I'd like to know what makes him the best in the biz? Under his watch crackdown 3 was crap, scalebound was canceled, phantom dust remake was canceled, fable legends canceled, halo infinite is the mess it is, f2p games still need gold unlike competitors, even games like ori and cuphead go to switch and in cupheads case even ps4.
I do like game pass though so kudos there.

People are literally trying to find reasons to spend money when the company should be giving you reasons..... Weird.
Buy what you want of course but I'm confused as to how the upgrade is going to be worth it at launch from my OneX, I'd love to have the excuse but I don't see it.

5 plus years and millions spent, then they showed off a mess with everything popping in and low textures. Seriously how many chances does 343 get? And why does everyone love Phil Spencer?
I feel like a serious shakeup is needed at 343 and people need to stop giving Spencer credit until we see some serious output.

If you are going to charge people for access to online game modes it would be scummy to force a higher subscription fee by having game pass ultimate as the only option.
If you made online play free but moved games with gold and gold discounts to game pass ultimate that would be much better.
Xbox talks about player choice a lot so reducing options would mean it's just talk.

I'd rather have one show to blow my mind. Holding things back seems silly the point of a show is to excite people. Would you rather have one amazing show or two decent ones?

@KelticDevil haha maybe but that's not the only games they make

Why not just make a new IP?
I'd rather Xbox be brave and just make some new things. It would suck being able to predict their games for the foreseeable future gears 6, halo infinite 2, forza 27, fable 4 and perfect dark 3

@TheNewButler love the choice Bug Fable totally left field but makes perfect sense.

If people think they did this for any reason other than money they are kidding themselves. Like when they were "thinking of the children" with crossplay. You can also look at how games like overwatch have lgbtq characters for Western release but then censor that stuff in other regions. Companies try to maximize profits.
Smart move by Sony.

Great month imo.
Shantae is great and totally underrated!
Destroy all humans is just good dumb fun.
Interested to try out coffee talk.
But don't care about Sine Mora haha

@redd214 yeah I can understand from a business sense streaming is better and it's pretty cool. For me that option doesn't work though, not saying they shouldn't do it I'd just prefer a switch-ish option.

@redd214 isn't that just with streaming though?

I know it's crazy but I want lockhart to be a handheld with gamepass capabilities, that would be awesome. A cheaper less powerful option doesn't excite me at all.

That was a fin-tastic pun!
Also side note, great to see a game with a unique idea do so well

Just played "Can Androids Pray" since I bought it on the current sale. It's incredibly short but honestly one of my favorite games for narrative. If you want something that will make you think but comes with zero action I strongly recommend.

JSRF! Not even close for me. Although the other games are good

@Nyne11Tyme idk I think final fantasy probably has more die hard fans than CDPR

Is it just me or does it feel like official Xbox stuff have had a lot of small mistakes over the past couple of years?

Smart decision in my opinion. The walking dead probably doesn't have the pull it use to.

Nice to see him admit the mistake. I like Cliffy B, seems like an interesting guy.
Would of been cool to try out lawbreakers in Game Pass. Hope he tries to make another game in the future.
