@Friday

would MS ever make moves this big ? I mean in terms of 3rd party perma/timed exclusivity .

No. They will either get some Game Pass deals for the games that are not really big or will buy publishers.

@Staffy

Hmmm, did we have many of that this year?

I think its an unannounced game .

Mass Effect 5 I think. Anyway, I think it’s better to take this rumour with a grain of salt seeing as the leaker in question hasn’t been active for long, and whilst she has correcty leaked stuff it was mostly in the SOny camp, so we can’t really use that as evidence for Microsoft connections.

In 2022? No AAA games without announced platforms that I know off. If we are talking about 2023 and beyond though, there’re a lot of games that fit(Bioshock, Mass Effect, Dragon Age 4, Project 007, Skate, Beyond Good and Evil 2).

I’m betting on unannounced game tho. No sources, just my gut feeling.

@Callangoso

Beyond Good and Evil 2

this game alive ?

[Callangoso]

@Friday

this game alive ?

Good question lol. I’m just listing it because it doesn’t have any announced platforms yet.

If it is an announced game I would bet on Bioshock, Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

The only vapourware Ubisoft game we know is coming for sure is Skull and bones, due to some deal they made with Singapore XD

then that’s the one

exclusivity for the Sea of Thieves killer

It’s almost nostalgic, people on other forums were so sure Sea of Thieves was DOA due to SnB. Years later, and the only reason we know Skull and Bones is in any form of development is that Ubi took money from the Singaporean government, and can’t get out of that deal.

Millie has been spot on with Playstation, probably the only trustworthy PS insider at the moment. On the other hand, this is her first time leaking something about Xbox. We should just wait and see.

@DARK-PARADISE

I’m really not worried, quite the opposite, as I don’t see a value to me for a game being exclusive, because the real value I see is that it launches on Game Pass. I’m just entertaining the idea and possibilities in this discussion.

But… I also want something like that to happen, for reasons like the amount of sodium chloride it could generate on some forums & Twitter

The more exclusives you get on Game Pass the more subs it will get and the more investment will go into it and the more games you and I can play for pennies

I mean Ubisoft laughably failed at it when all they had to do was rip the naval stuff from Black Flag’s and expand on it. Had years head start on Sea of Thieves in that regard.

Also Sea of Thieves took like a year or two to get good so its not like it launched in a great state.

I’m trying to figure out how I can use GeForce Now on Edge browser on Xbox. I went to the site and logged in but then I have to choose between Windows, mac, Android TV, chrome beta etc.

It’s not like Stadia it seems. Kinda stuck here. Guess I DO need a PC then?

Learned a new slang today

Death Stranding: Director's Cut is a TOTAL WASTE - Luke Stephens

This guy played as he says the crap out of the first game, just under 200 hours across PS4 and 5 and a little on PC. It’s clear this guy knows what he’s talking about. He’s also anything but a troll.

He says it’s mostly a upgrade for visuals, framerate, loading times. There are new features but they are flawed. And people hoping that this would bring some MGS kinda stuff because of that trailer last year…nope.
