Alongside the announcement that four Xbox games will be headed to other platforms, Phil Spencer also commented on other companies' approaches to exclusivity, namechecking Helldivers 2 specifically: "When I look at a game like Helldivers 2 — and it's a great game, kudos to the team shipping on PC and PlayStation — I'm not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Xbox."
EA says the next Battlefield game is being built by the "largest Battlefield team in history," and confirms the game is in a playable state.
“I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team, playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
It's just what gamers want, more live service garbage.
What Henderson has leaked so far is that ... even though the dev size's large, they are playing safe this time,
so I am guessing big budgeted BF3 2.0 ... fingers crossed
We don't need thousands of workers wasting their time and effort, for many years, on a live-service project nobody asked for.
Just take a dedicated small team and create a cool Battlefield GAME. Not a service, but a game. As in 10-12 Conquest maps, 4 classes, cool gameplay, done. That's it.
That doesn't need 3-4 years of development. That doesn't need thousands of employees. Just go back to basics; Release a cool game, let gamers buy and enjoy that game, and 1-2 years later you release a sequel. No 'service', no subsciption, no DLC, no seasons. Just a game. On its own. Done. 50 bucks.
Only a day ago, Helldivers 2 community manager Spitzerfx seemed to be in the clear, but they have officially been demoted after Sony controversy.
From a business standpoint I can understand why they did that…but man, he stood up for the community and thats huge.
Title "seemingly fired after controversy"
Preview text "he seems to be in the clear but demoted"
He did an amazing job and I hope he lands somewhere good too. He's a hero someone who cared about gamers.
Standing up for his own company from a bigger company then gets demoted for doing his job as a community manager. At least he's still employed.
I hope Sony doesn't buy Arrowhead. They need to let them be. No corporate medlings and docking someone's pay for standing up form the ppl.
Wtf is going on with these companies?
Arrowhead Game Studios writes: "Overview For this mini patch, we have made improvements and changes to the following areas: Crash fixes."
Phil want sony/nintendo big games on xbox so he can put xbox big games on playstation but it won't happen that why they had to make console exclusives for their platform.
I mean, c'mon, they literally just said themselves they will put select older games on PS, not same date and release. You know who it helps, you're just acting hypocritical in comments like this. I don't think Sony is sorry you can't advertise their games on your platform the way you've been advertising Palworld as a console exclusive.
He really needs to get fired.
Didn’t he say no on the podcast, to Starfield and Indiana Jones going elsewhere? What’s he expecting in return?
"kudos to the team shipping on PC and PlayStation — I'm not exactly sure who it helps in the industry"
It helps PC and PlayStation Phil.
