In case you don’t already know, OnLive is a digital streaming video game service compatible with a wide variety of machines including PC, MAC, and has a pretty good range of specs available for support at the moment. OnLive will process the video rendering of game-play in a remote location and stream the experience to the end user, enabling you to play games that might not otherwise work on your system. Even if you do not meet the recommended specs, the client will still allow you to attempt playing. Some examples of games included in the service are Just Cause 2, DiRT 2, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origins, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4, and more..."
Techradar writes: "The upcoming game from RPG veterans ATLUS was originally announced at the Xbox Games Showcase as part of E3 2023, leading fans to infer that the title would only be available on Microsoft consoles when it releases in 2024.
However, a new trailer from SEGA Korea has confirmed that the title will be coming to PS5, PS4, and Steam in addition to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One."
What smoke and mirrors? Console manufacturers don't include competitor's logos in their trailers. It's no different from the PS Showcase where almost every game was multiplatform but only showed the PS5 logo.
Smoke and mirrors is the fact that ms denied permission to SEGA/Atlus to rapidly announce those games are coming to PlayStation too. Something Sony didn't do with the games of their showcase where obviously childish ms was quick to remind people that those games were coming on xbox too.
Just going to add that there was ZERO mention of Metaphor: ReFantazio coming to the PlayStation in any of the press releases I received from Atlus. I also reached out multiple times after the Xbox showcase about the game coming to PlayStation. If anyone is at fault, it's Atlus failing to communicate it was coming to other platforms. It's not like Xbox would have told them not to reveal that afterward unless it was a timed exclusive.
That page also doesn't exist anymore, so Sega Korea pulled it for some reason....
@ italiangamer
So exactly like when Sony failed to mention that games like GT7, Forbidden West, Miles Morales, and GoW Ragnarok would also be coming out for the PS4 and led their fans to believe that those games are current gen exclusives for months?
@shadowhaxor
Xbox makes other companies keep Playstation availablity out of the news when they are featured in there showcases regularly.
Microsoft paid for reveal embargos. They did it last year too for the P3-P5 ports.
I don’t know why Ms doesn’t grow out of their childish PR when it comes to Xbox. They talk like they aren’t in competition with PlayStation and are instead doing their own thing yet
Right after Sonys event they had to let everyone know of certain games also coming to Xbox yet only a few weeks later hold their own event where they buy timed exclusive announcement trailers
Paying publishers money to make sure game release information regarding other platforms won’t be announced till 72 hours after the showcase and during this time trying to create a fake narrative that some games are exclusives
Even people on social media and YouTube were saying how Ms secured exclusives. For a trillion dollar company to act like this against a billion dollar company is beyond ridiculous
I don't think it was misleading.
Microsoft is the master of doublespeak and veiled statements, so when it isn't used, you can very good and well assume it isn't exclusive to their ecosystem. Good example was Rise of the Tomb Raider: they literally said "coming exclusively to Xbox in 2015". I knew immediately, "Game's timed." When something is properly exclusive, Microsoft says so unequivocally.
Likewise, as soon as I saw Atlus, I knew there was no way they'd be skipping PlayStation. It literally wouldn't make sense for this kind of game to skip it in favor of Xbox. Shin Megami Tensei, sure, but that's because that's the "Nintendo Atlus game".
I don't know anyone who thought that a game developed for Xbox by Atlus would miss PS5.
If you really believed that a JRPG would be an Xbox exclusive in the current generation then I don't know what to tell you.
Well, Octopath Traveler was kept away from Playstation, so it have happened, but sure, that was last gen which makes even less sense.
It's kind of a death sentence to release a JRPG on just Xbox, so it made sense that other platforms would be announced.
When was it ever suggested to be exclusive?
Not even talking about a graphically challenging title.
I hope Sony went on Twitter to let the world know most of those games were also coming to ps also
To be fair I still think ms showed off better 1st party and third party games.
Would have been shockingly surprised if this was an exclusive title. Looks definitely like something that I will get into. Looking forward to getting more details about the game.
Watch this sell 85% on PS5.
At least it has a chance on other platforms unlike some other titles though...
Yeah, if it were to sell 1 millions copies total, probably only 5-10k would be on Xbox at most.
MS paid for a couple day advertisement exclusive again heh.
PS5 physical for me
These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.
Being a completionist can be fun, but some games are more like chores than fun. Here are the worst games to 100% complete.
The Yakuza Games
Haha, yeah, currently over 100 hours into Yakuza 0. Considering going for 100% and well on the way but may not get there. Cat Fights are a real chore.
I use to be a trophy hunter, was getting around 20 to 30 platinums a year. Had a saying of Play-Beat-Platinum, play and enjoy the game like there wasn't no trophies, beat it and at least get 50% then look at them and see if I'll platinum and platinum it. I think death star was a pain, the servers was ending so i had to rush and play that for awhile none stop. NGs2 was hard because of that online trophy but easy if you had the partner that can do it for you while you grab the enemy attention. Grinding idk, death was grinding last one I had to grind for platinum literally 1 trophy needed was dungeon travler or something vita gave up on it. After that I stop trophy hunting get like a 1 platinum a year or 0.
Yeah, if I enjoy a game I usually go for the platinum unless there are some unreasonable trophies in there.
For Yakuza 0 I've invested too much time in it to give up just yet and most of the content is good fun, apart from Cat Fighting which is broken and dull after a couple of fights.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was literally the last platinum I got on PS3. After that, I went into PS4 kinda deflated and getting them where it felt appropriate.
I genuinely HATED that platinum, but it was a personal challenge I took upon myself. It was a lot of "get 1,000 kills with [insert weapon]" and it got to be a bit tedious. Master Ninja really pissed me off, but the WORST which you alluded to was that bloody Gold trophy for missions that you needed to do online because the AI was useless and got wrecked in moments. I jumped on the game a bit late so I struggled with finding a partner for at least 1.5 months. After that, I burned out hard with trophy hunting. I still came back for games I really enjoyed (Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nier: Automata, and a few others that escape me) and low hanging fruit that was just a bit time consuming and I didn't want to buy new games at the time (Final Fantasy XV). Total, it becomes clear where I taper off since I've only plat'ed 33 games since there inception of trophies which really isn't much.
Screw Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 lol. That game was pure nightmare fuel.
I say never force getting a platinum, its not worth the trouble definitely if it costing you to waste time on chore like grind. Those brainless design trophies.
Dead rising was the worst one I’ve ever tried. I haven’t tried it with the modern console “rest mode” but the 360 didn’t have that.
Was GTa4 the on where you had to collect a shit ton of pigeons around the map and there was no help in finding them?
The saving grace was that there was only on average 50 collectables with the two exceptions being graffiti and oysters from memory horseshoes and photos were capped at 50 each.
But for me it was all the other grind that was way more painful in SA like the car export lists which even with guides took way longer than collecting stuff
There was a guide book that came out with the game that had all the pigeons in it. I actually still have it
One of the more recent games I got a Platinum in was Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. What a crap game, that requires so much terrible grinding.
Awful game, awful experience.
Oh man..wish i could get a vita. I've been trying to get a preowned too(in my country) but no luck.
I can vouch for Just Cause 2. It was the reason I quit achievement hunting. 86 hours in, the game bugged on me during one of the last side quests (it failed no matter what I did) and my save file got corrupted. Wiped it off my drive and never looked back.
I downloaded the ‘complete edition’ or whatever it was called for $2 about 7yrs ago in hopes of trophy hunting it for a platinum. It always sounded fun and I would like to commit time to it but not enough for a platinum trophy
This should be great for people waiting on this with Wi-Fi and add to the online service by giving more people access.
i just got an invite for the free year subscription and when i install it, it says that my internet isnt fast enough "3mbps" (which i would understand)IF THEY HADNT ALREADY ASKED ME WHAT MY SPEED WAS WHEN I SIGNED UP!!!! What a waste of a perfectly good invite :(
