XboxEra Community Hangout |OT3| Setting Low Expectations

Fine with me. I am so over this franchise anyway. Black Ops 1 was the last one I really remember, everything that followed I ignored, did play Advanced Warfare, if that’s the one with Spacey as villain and then nothing.

Look at those attachment rates

tfw Pokemon SwSh sold more than Mario Odyssey smh

Nintendo lives and dies by their exclusives, I guess that’s the only console were exclusives REALLY matter. People only care about metacritic scores on PlayStation.

The fact that Pokemon shoots out mediocre games (LG and SwSH) and sells 13m is devastating. Game Freak will never make improvements as long as this continues happening and their fans defend such things.

I’m honestly not surprised. What surprises me more is that big 1st party games on Xbox and Playstation don’t get to these numbers.

But I’m curious to see what numbers Halo does this holiday. I’m sure this will be the most successful game in the franchise, but how big really is the real question.

It is also the reason why the Switch has nothing to fear from the SteamDeck.

Woah wtf, this is outta nowhere. Genuinely thought if anyone would buy DotEmu, it’d be SEGA.

Interesting.

Focus Home interactive, now has … 3 dev studios. :laughing:

I think, besides DotEmu - Deck13 is a good studio. The Surge is recommended highly. by several ppl

Still can’t believe the sloppiness on Sega’s part.

looks like its indeed #AcquisitionSeason

I mean, in hindsight, it was stupid to presume Focus would just stop at owning 1 studio lol. Interesting.

It’s just that DotEmu would fit into SEGA’s stable sooo much, given the rich retro IP backlog they have. Who knows, DotEmu would certainly continue to work on legacy IP from third parties, just under a homegrown publisher.

I hope they don’t let their ambition in terms of scope get away from them. Also IMO they need to find away to release at least a six months after Avowed and six months before ES 6. Although this game seems to be made for the old school hardcore players they still don’t want to have this game swallowed up by those two titles which even the hardcore players will probably put a lot of time into.

Having a modern Daggerfall is going to be great though.

Did Sony manage to complete the acquisition ? Last time I heard, there was an investigation.

To tell the truth, I don’t even know lol.
