Last month we saw a few AAA games they are doing: Fable, Hellblade 2, Everwild, Avowed, etc, all from acquired studios.

I didn't buy the X1, but next gen, i may get the xsx.
we're finally getting fibre optics here in the arctic in 2023...so online gaming should be a lot better than our 600+ ping right now.

Killer Instinct doesn't get the love it deserves, it is amazing and its netcode is god tier. But SF5 with lots of cheaters, bugs, micro transactions and shit netcode get the stop spot at every EVO. Go figure. And I'm guilty of that to, because SF it's the game I'm waiting to see if I buy a Playstation or not, if it continues exclusive.

But, Rare didn't develop Killer Instinct (it's by Double Helix and Iron Galaxy and I don't even know why they are credited), but they developed Sea of Thieves, Rare Replay and Viva Piñata, also LOTS of collaboration with other studios and Nintendo.

People who left Rare did nothing to write home about, except for Timesplitters. Maybe the magic was when everyone was together.

The problem with Rare was after early failures trying to convert some of their leftover planned games from Nintendo to Xbox they were directed to focus on Kinect related shit. But now that Kinect is long dead and buried Rare doesn't have much else to show after being under MS for 18 years.

They lost their magic. Plain and simple. They were releasing blockbuster hits after hits in the 90's - granted a good chunk of them was using Nintendo's IP.

I hear Sea of Thieves is amazingly fun so I may check that out on PC one of these days.

I am also super intrigued by Everwild.

Why because I disagree with you? Excuse me for appreciating what looks like a fun game that would potentially allow me and friends/family to play together. Jeez you fanboys are such a nightmare. What makes this worse is I'm a ps4 player, who's happy to see Xbox get a fun little game that they can call their own and suddenly I'm the bad guy. Fuck's sake.

End of the day I'm just here to have friendly discussions about shit I like. All this other vitriolic stuff, I'm simply not interested in at all.

You’ve been calling games interactive movies that aren’t. Your statement about that is worthless.

You keep making these bizarre rants about things you don’t seem to know much about. Hence my comment.
 
Dude, save for ratchet, horizon andbgran turismo, playstation exclusives didn't impress me. Of course I'd love to play spiderman, last of us party 2and ghosts of tsushima. But apart from that they're shallow gameplay wise. Name one thing that the first last of us allowed us as gamers to do that was either innovative, remarkable or better than the rest of the market? Uncharted, how is it that tomb raider a "lesser game" offers more variety in its gameplay. I can do everything I can do in uncharted AND explore bigger maps, craft and learn new skills. Drake is the same at the end of the games as he was in the beginning. No crafting, no skills tree, no replayability, no depth. Fun for one playthrough and nothing more. As for God of war. There's all this focus on graphics, story, feels, "mellow Kratos" but they totally butchered the combat system.

They try justify it as "new, fresh, innovative" but how do justify neutering Kratos a once insanely badass war machine to a slow, plodding motherfucker who doesn't even have a jumping button? Was it necessary to have such an up close camera? What purpose did it serve? It made the game clunky, obscured attacks from behind and forced you to use tank like controls (having to turn the camera to attack threats from behind . That shit hasn't been a thing since the 90s. Classic God of war was shallow and too easy as compared to dmc but it was more fun than this.

These exclusives have high production value but offer me very little that I cannot get from say the witcher, or gta etc. Imo, shallow gameplay +sharp visuals /"cinematics" = interactive movie
Battletoads isn't the witcher. Not even close. Doesn't have to be It just looks like a fun game that never stops being fun. One that isn't too fussed about visuals, story etc and focuses on gameplay first. Fine they should've gone with a better art style but at least they churned something out.

Give it a chance and stop gatekeeping telling me I that I "don't know" what I'm talking about. I really resent that comment. So what? I shouldn't have an opinion? Fine ps4 for lyf. Uncharted shits on all other games. Fuck battletoads, Xbox plebs should bend the knee. Happy?

What are you on about? I’ll play it when it launches on Game Pass lol. I just don’t like the art style.

Fighting the final Valkyrie in God of War was one of the toughest things I’ve done in gaming. In no way, shape, or form was that an interactive movie.

Do let me know how it is. It looks fun. Especially the co-op. The sheer goof of potential with friends is astronomical (especially since the industry killed couch multi-player brutally.)

Also valkyrie... Never got that far. I killed the first troll and fought baldur/conor mcgregor. It was dope but it was just you didn't really have control over it. It was just crazy camera angle and you just pressing r2 and whatever other button... Compare that to dante vs vergil level 19 in devil may cry v. Shit is lit, crazy, stylish and super cool. Only Bayonetta can surpass that.

Also, on another note, speaking of game pass, are you as optimistic about Microsoft exclusives as I am? I'm not expecting killer apps or anything but just excited that the competition is actually doing well. If both companies have something to offer, it makes everything so much more exciting. You think they'll revive other older franchises like conker?

Should have kept going game really changes after all that. I know what your talking about. I did all that stuff you did and that game was kind of boring to me. I even messaged my friend who told me he platinumed it WTH was he hyping this garbage up for. He told me to keep going and get to a certain part. I did and it really turns into a great game.

This has happened to me with a few games honestly. I don't really give them a chance and end up calling them garbage before really giving the devs time to show what they've done. Did the same with Spiderman. Thought the combat was just rehashed Batman garbage. As you progress though and start unlocking more it really changes. Still very similar to Batman but enough of a twist to change it up.

Also as far as games being innovative pretty much nothing in gaming is innovative these days. Even the battletoads you are excited about it's just rehashed gameplay. Sony is just great at releasing quality games that do what they do well. Not everyone likes them. Some people like you prefer the older stuff like battletoads and that's fine.

Wow super balanced answer right there. Glad you enjoyed god of war. But as you said Sony's stuff isn't for everyone and that's okay with me. Gaming is better when the whole industry is diverse. So throw some Sony style games in there and some hardcore old school ass stuff in there and you have a great balance in place.
 
For what it is it looks fun, I know people wanted a different looking game but the cartoony style looks clean. I'm jealous that I won't get to play it as I only have a ps4 but more battletoads for the gaming community is a win.

Not at all until proven otherwise. They’ve had quality studios and haven’t delivered much. I’d love to be surprised but I’m not seeing it right now.

Mane. I say, give it time bruh. No doubt Microsoft is stinking up the department though. Idk why they keep pushing halo. If it were I'd make a different game, maybe an rpg or hack n slash from the halo expanded universe. Idk how halo fans stomach another halo game. I'd be happy if xbox somehow delivered on their promises. It puts pressure on Sony to do better and push the envelope even further.

I’ve given it years. Like I said, I’d love for them to produce killer exclusives, they just haven’t for the most part.

I don’t feel like Sony’s studios are taking anything lightly.

Numerous RPG's are in the works, for the Series X..

Avowed.
Fable.
InXile AAA RPG.

Microsoft's first offering next gen will massively improved compared to the Xbox One.. they've made the investment by acquiring Ninja Theory, Obsidian etc..
