"The four most recent Xbox One X enhanced games were all Xbox 360 console exclusives. Coincidence? I think not! Let’s talk about that as well as Xbox’s recent announcement of its monthly show, Inside Xbox." -- Xbox Enthusiast
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
Sea of Thieves leads PlayStation pre-orders, highlighting its cross-platform appeal and setting new trends in gaming.
Eh, I just don't get it... I was super hyped about this game before it came out. Then, when I actually played it I was really let down. I mean, the gameplay is good, and I love the multiplayer aspect of it. But it just felt pointless once I realized nothing is really saved. I was spending a lot of time piling food and supplies on my ship with my co-op buddy. Then, we quit for the night, came back the next day and realized none of that stuff was even saved. Playing just for the sake of cosmetics just doesn't feel satisfying to me personally.
I was interested in it at first when it was announced back in the day. They the years dragged on no new info about this game I just lost interest. Then when I saw the game play I knew I was not going to get it.
People pay for games over on the playstation side. Must feel good for developers on the xbox side.
Funny it’s the top preorder when all Sony fans have done is make fun of it since day 1. My only issue with the game is not allowing you to customize your look. You have to just refresh random looks until you find something that look half way decent.
I'm interested in it and so is a friend of mine but not paying £40, gunna wait for a sail...get it, anyway 😂 yeah, gunna wait til it's about £20-£25
Six years since its voyage began, the oceanic co-op is landing on PS5 – and the team behind the game can’t wait to empower the creativity of a whole new community of players.
Reading it's obvious this has been in the planning stages for at least a year. Good read. Glad they are super excited. I like this part...
- Rare is also planning to introduce an offline solo mode with the March update. “You won’t need Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus,” says Neate. “If you just want to come and play on your own, you’ll get to play Safer Seas as a solo player so you can experience all of the Tall Tales content and all of the progression through the companies. It’s another way to fall in love with the game before thinking ‘maybe I wanna go get that subscription and start playing multiplayer’.”
That will get a lot of people who prefer to play Solo on board to start with. Including myself. I read this and my ears perked up. Now I'm interested in Sea Of Thieves. I'm going to support their game on Playstation. I've alreday bought Hifi Rush and I plan on buying Grounded as well. As long as MS keeps sending games to playstation, then I'll support those games. The best place to play is Playstation
I returned to Sea of Thieves recently (I preordered at launch) and the issues then is still the issue now. You will face the same Skeleton enemies over and over with little variety to the enemies types, gameplay mechanics, or missions. Once you've played a couple weeks of the grind that is this game, you will most likely have experienced everything it has to offer with little reason to continue leveling up. The islands don't change and the gameplay never gets better than swing basic sword, block, shoot bullet with no upgrades.
Future exclusives? Thats where they need to work on most.
lol they are still touting the best games lineup using the same games they did years ago (how many years do we need to see crackdown, ashen, and state of decay 2?). And think of all the great xbox1 exclusives these past 4 years... Fable... Scalebound... Project Spark... Hololenz... Phantom Dust... those 3 games coming from the black tusk people... Man so many legendary games, no wonder everyone loves xbox 1
Good luck on the future exclusives.
Microtransaction-ridden services is what it mostly boils down to. They're doing a fantastic job with the legacy support for exclusives (and games in general) of the past though. I can see why they want to draw attention to the exclusives of past though. The glory days are much more ideal to promote than what happens to be their worst generation ever.
