just remember that this is a XBOX FIRST PARTY STUDIO. So while everybody is bitching about MS and Redfall, Diablo is out there killing it.

RupeeHoarder124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

I was unaware Blizzard was a first party Xbox studio and that the purchase completed. I was also unaware that Microsoft assisted in oversight of its development for the past 6 years, fascinating.

VersusDMC124d ago

Delusions. They won't count FFXVI, FF7Rebirth, and other third party exclusives but Diablo 4 is a Microsoft game. Just the usual goal post moving routine.

__SteakDeck__124d ago

@VersusDMC Unbelievable. They like to rip Forspoken and claim that Sony was behind it. But when FFXVI gets good reviews next month, they will say that it shouldn’t count because it’s 3rd party. SMH

outsider1624124d ago

Wait. Is this timed exclusive cos i swear i played the demo not too long ago

Flakegriffin124d ago

-insert “you sure about that?” gif here-

Goosejuice124d ago

Think u got Bethesda and blizzard mixed up my guy. This is 100% not a 1st party studio...not yet anyways. MS had zero input into this game.

MIDGETonSTILTS17124d ago

Comments like this are why I don’t want the deal to go through….

M$ didn’t help these franchises, they just bought the right to potentially be carried by them.

I want M$ to contribute to the gaming ecosystem.

Elda124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Diablo 4 was not developed or owned by an XB first-party studio.

thesoftware730124d ago

No, they are not; maybe one day, but MS had nothing to do with this game.

porkChop124d ago

Eh no, not until the deal closes.

Crows90124d ago

Except it's not an Xbox studio.

thesoftware730124d ago

@ VersusDMC and SteakDek,

Why do you guys keep saying "They"? I only see z2g, saying something that is completely not the case.

VersusDMC124d ago

A lot of people say playstation has only spider man this year and when i or anyone bring up the third party exclusives "they" say there are only talking about first party. All the time its said only first party counts.

Are you saying that doesn't happen here?

thesoftware730124d ago

@ VersusDMC,

While I totally agree with you that there is plenty to play on PS this year, I think for that specific question tho, about 3rd party Vs first party, people remember how you guys lambasted MS for not having much or no 1st party releases; KEEP IN MIND, I always thought it was the dumbest argument, and quite frankly, still think so. I have echoed this sentiment for a long time now. All you heard on this site a year ago, was..... 1st party, 1st party, 1st party...I honestly started to wonder if people forgot that 3rd party games existed...you guys ignored it and are now being hypocrites.

To that point, if anyone is moving the goal post it's you.

Keep in mind I agree with your overall assessment, of 3rd party games being able to bolster or even carry a system, but, I am also aware you are saying what you are saying from a very, very biased place.

I'm sure it's more then him just saying it.

Software were you around during 360 ps3 xbox fans didn't miss a chance to dig into the ps3 early on. It's gonna happen no matter what.

Xbox fans keep going on about first party though. Isn't there only like 1 1st party game on xbox releasing more the ps. As of now. I'm sure there could be some news coming. I'm dying to see starfield though in a few weeks(serious no jab)

z2g and the 15 people who agree with him are "They"

Lol no it's not. MS had zero to do with this game. Let's not forget CMA has blocked the ABK aquisition, so it will be months before there is a ruling on it. it very much an uphill battle for the aquisition to go through.

Lightning77124d ago

This is definitely not a Xbox first party studio.

Don't spread lies.

Vengeance1138124d ago

You realize that Microsoft had ZERO input and influence on Diablo 4's creation right? Imagine thinking otherwise LOL and no, Blizzard is 100% not a 1st party studio of Xbox.

Clowns will be clowns I guess.

andy85124d ago

Dumbest post on here today. They have had literally nothing to do with it and unless I'm missing something they don't own anything.

DeusFever124d ago

You jumped the gun a bit here. The Activision deal is still pending before the US FTC. Until (and if) this deal happens, you can correctly state that this is an asshole company first party studio.

Nacho_Z124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

You can join the list of people from here that it's a waste of time to take their opinion seriously.

KwietStorm_BLM124d ago

Why did you get any agrees at all.

NotoriousWhiz123d ago

Lot of delusional people in these comments clearly.

SinisterKieran124d ago

you're a little behind on the news aren't you?
