Daily Video Game writes: "Microsoft Store has kicked off its Game Awards Sale, offering big savings on tons of digital titles for Xbox One gamers. If you're looking for new digital games for your Xbox One, this is a great chance for you to save up to 70% off on various digital titles."
Xbox is making waves on PlayStation.
When you think about it, it's crazy.
Great ideas and success are sometimes born out of defeat.
This is honestly so laughable. Outside of sea of thieves being a new game and releasing in just a few days. COD and Fallout were popular on Playstation long before Microsoft decided to buy them. I have seen bots go from saying Microsoft shouldn't bring Xbox games to Playstation, to using this as a flex. Guess they have accepted Microsoft is moving forward with Playstation with or without them. If this continues, I see the Xbox console selling worse than the S/X
Yep won't be long before we see every Xbox title flooding the Playstation store to try to recoup some of that $68.7billion Activision buyout.
Probably won't stay in the best sellers list long though, I would guess Fallout 4 is really back in there as it's on sale at the moment for £4 in the UK and the free PS5 upgrade is out at the end of the month - FOMO.
But yes, Starfield, Hellblade 2 even Gears & Halo will all be there by this time next year, for better or for worse.
Give Playstation fans an even bigger lineup to choose from.
They bought everything other than sea of thieves, which will lose interest soon. CoD has always been huge for Sony even before the acquisition.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Sony has launched a BAFTA Game Awards 2024 section on the PlayStation Store that lists the different games nominated this year.
