I'm playing nioh 2 remastered on ps5 and ninja gaiden collection on series x at the minute, so this announcement was huge for me. Looking forward to seeing more
I'm actually playing through ninja gaiden 2 on my series x at the minute. Was awesome just popping in my old disc and it looks and plays great. Haven't played the master collection yet as it's the sigma versions I think
Big fan of Jaffe, he has a point, but personally I would direct this issue at Matt Booty more than Phil Spencer. And if Matt Booty cannot fix it, then Phil needs to find someone else who can
A new quake would be awesome, have good memories playing quake 2 and 3 as a child
My wife would love to see a new Banjo game, she is enjoying kirby on the switch at the moment. She is also hyped for Fable
On eurogamer they are saying its more to do with kotick getting a payout after the deal, but who knows what to believe. From their article "A group of US senators has expressed concern at the possibility of a windfall payout for controversial Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick, as part of Microsoft's proposed acquisition of his company." And "The letter points out that the acquisition process risks dampening down an employee push for accountability, and undermining it by allowing Kotick to remain in place and therefore receive a sizable payout if he leaves on good terms."
Make online play free like cloud saves are and just offer gamepass to people who want it. I don't like companies forcing things on people. I pay for GPU because its a great deal and I want it.
If a big purchase was being made this week nobody would know about it, for reasons explained in the article. "think of every other acquisition that [we've seen], did we have rumours of those before? No, because there's insider trading garbage to worry about."
It probably would of landed better if gamepass didn't come out years ago. But in a world with gamepass, it comes across as a bad service with bad pricing
Competition is always good. If its a good service I will subscribe. The leaks do not sound promising but I never trust the leaks and will just wait for the announcement before judging
@Medic_Alert great post. I personally never thought the monopoly accusations held any water, you explained the reasons well. I just meant any small doubts they may have had can be further squashed after this news as that argument is even weaker now
Will be less concern at Microsoft about the monopoly accusations now Sony is buying Bungie and continuing to purchase developers. I like Bungie, sounds like they will stay multiplatform, but if they go exclusive I will play them on my PS5
@isturbo1984 This is getting very strange and it's probably best if you just ignore my posts from now on. Your incoherent ramblings are boring now. Iv explained my point several times, it wasn't even a complicated post. I even clarified my point to you and still you continue to hijack the thread calling me out on things I didn't even say. It's just wierd at this point. I have no interest in discussing this further with you. Enjoy your day mate
@isturbo1984 I never once discounted all critisism as being toxic. I praised the critisms for improving the game. I'm really not sure what you are even talking about now. Called out on what? Congratulating the community and condoning death threats?
"Congratulations to everyone providing constructive critisism and bringing change
This is why it is always OK to voice your opinion aslong as its not toxic. Without the feedback there would be no change"
No mate my original post was welcoming the changes, as now we can earn credits from the battlepass. Whereas before you could only get them from buying them. I was also praising the community for the feedback they provided as it improves the game for us all. The toxic bit was about all the death threats etc 343 recieved, which was just ridiculous
@isturbo1984 it is entirely possible to get your opinion across without being toxic and insulting, amazing I know. Being a decent human being costs nothing
Congratulations to everyone providing constructive critisism and bringing change This is why it is always OK to voice your opinion aslong as its not toxic. Without the feedback there would be no change
Warzone will stay multiplat but future releases will be exclusive. We did the same dance with Bethesda, you do not spend all that money to give your competition the goods. Future games will be only on platforms with gamepass, same with Bethesda
I imagine the plan with COD will be "free on gamepass" or pay $70 on PlayStation. The optics could not be worse for PS. I don't think it will effect PS much this gen, but if the optics are the same come the end of the gen, PS will be in big trouble. I own a PS5 and enjoy their games but this is really bad news for PlayStation

Redfall Feb and Starfield May based on zero experience and zero insider knowledge

Sony did a really good job advertising the value of gamepass today, but I'm not sure that was actually their aim
