I understand why Starfield would be cross-gen but like you, im hoping that it’s current gen only. On the positive side, even if it’s cross-gen, eliminating the PS4/PS5 versions cuts down on the workload. I’m hoping it’s March 2022 to be honest. I will have plenty of games to play in the second half and don’t need to add to it with a 100+ hour RPG. Plus, im a firm believer in spreading out exclusive games and content as opposed to stacking them all into one season.
I’m expecting gameplay at E3 but not a blowout as I do see them saving that for the return of X021.
Oh, okay. So basically it’s nothing. lol. I can’t imagine Microsoft/Kojima not getting a deal done after Spencer had the Death Stranding statue on his shelf. Spencer isn’t stupid and wouldn’t do that just for the hell of it. Thanks for clarifying what it was. Appreciate it.
Phil literally said that they bought Bethesda to provide exclusive games that “ship on platforms where Game Pass exists.” He didn’t say Xbox, PC and mobile. He said where Game Pass exists because that’s the future of the Xbox division. Microsoft is predominantly a service company and they’re aiming to be the first to make a gaming subscription service of this level their niche. They want to saturate the market as soon as they can, before competitors can take up much of the public’s mindshare on the concept,
Anyone who keeps thinking Phil or Satya give a rip about where people play Xbox games and Game Pass are living in another decade. They’ll put Game Pass and xCloud absolutely anywhere they can.
Absolutely man, and March is fine. Sure, if they were to surprise us all next month and say it IS coming this year I will jump through my ceiling of excitement, haha, but it’s not a super big deal if it’s March next year. So much good stuff in the backlog, so much good stuff coming in Game Pass, assuming Halo is great which I hope to God it is I’ll be real busy with that. FH5 maybe, and then all the great stuff like Psychonauts 2 which I’m going to enjoy the hell out of, The Ascent, The Gunk, CrossfireX (hopefully) and so on.
But again, please it not go past March. It’s so damn far away as it is.
My reply was not directed towards you, though. I said “we” in a general sense, in which semantically I would be included aswell. It was a way of saying that the Xbox team deserves all the praise in the world.
