With their eyes firmly on the future, Nintendo's Shuntaro Furukawa and Shigeru Miyamoto had a lot to say about the company going forward.
Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.
It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.
They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.
If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.
So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.
"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"
They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...
The voice actors for Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith have vaguely confirmed a claim by Rob Wiethoff (voice of John Marston) that big news related to the Red Dead franchise will be coming "before Friday."
I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2
I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.
I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.
My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.
A year packed with major releases for Xbox consoles, PC and Game Pass.
ninja Gaiden being released 8 days apart is insane MS hasn't learned anything with shoulder to shoulder releases. October 29 for Outer Worlds and October 21 for Ninja Gaiden. These games now range from 60 to 80$. Yalls audience might GP it but other platforms have to buy it and your average person won't shell out that kinda money a week apart.
If you want both, then buy both. What difference does it make if you buy one now, and the other one later? Just get the one you really want first. I know $80 is expensive, but it’s not THAT expensive. If you’re skipping paying the gas bill due to trying to buy a game maybe don’t buy either one yet and wait a few months when they’re cheaper? They won’t eat into each other’s audience. Even Microsoft knows.
Well, you dont have to buy it. Noone is making gamers buy it a week apart. I don't see anything wrong with it.
You want another Doom The Dark Ages scenario? I'm surprised Oblivion and Expedition 33 did well with a simultaneous release. Clearly that fatigue was definitely felt with Doom.
They need at least 2 weeks apart.
You're talking about a first-person RPG and a third-person action game though. So, it's a bit different than EA putting Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 back-to-back.
Replies(2)I count 7 original multiplatform IPs, which were ultimately bought and are now published by Microsoft.
Sigh.
Replies(2)If you look closer again, then you'll notice that I, at any point, didn't even mentioned the adjective "bad".
But you.
Nope, 'displeased' ain't the feeling I had when reading that article.
But speaking of pleasure:
Are you personally pleased with that line-up Xbox have in store for you in the Series' fifth year?
Edit: I didn't downvote you.
To be fair “sigh” could also mean relief, happiness… although it is also often interpreted as some form of negative expression
@light:” What's the issue with this?”
The issue is your thickness a reasonable player would buy one of the two game that are close to each other release and at minimum get it to halfway/finish it and then buy the other at a later time🤦🏿.
Not everyone try to break the speed run record on every game
I don't think that either the Series X or the PS5 will hurt Nintendo sales. At most they will make third parties less inclined to port their stuff to the Switch.
What Nintendo will have to deal with going foward is streaming. But it will take a couple of years to it become a threat. And when it finally reach that point is likely that Nintendo would already had moved past the Switch.
Wait so now they’re not competing because they’re too different?
So like I thought, the Switch is a portable and should be compared to Vita 3DS etc..
Nintendo is on a different segment of the market. The Switch is more a handheld device than a console. They have an audience that love their exclusive games which is what matters.
Microsoft couldn't compete against Nintendo and now they are shamefully moving away to compete with lesser subscriptions companies as Google and Amazon.
Switch sales will not stop with the release of PS5 but they will certainly decrease due to the new hardware available, to counteract this I see them releasing a Switch Pro/2 sometime in the future.
