So, I was looking though n4g, and I come across a MGS4 article that has to do with install times. I was curious as to why Konami was blocking them. I open up the article and begin reading. To my dismay it was filled with a damn spoiler. I was so mad when I read it, I quickly turned away. I finally figured out the real reason for the wierd way Konami was being with the Install times, It wasnt becuase they cared about the time it takes to load, there worried about the DAMN SPOILER involved with it. I mean, why the hell does everyone make such a big deal about the install times if they KNOW that its a Spoiler. I mean, WTF. Does anyone have any ideas why the hell people are so quick to nag about something if they know why they are doing it that way. I mean, thats ridiculous.
Silent Hill 2 remake will be exclusive to the PS5 until October 8, 2025, so don't expect an Xbox port or announcement it expires.
why does it feel like we are living in the early 00's again? Sony paying for either full exclusivity or timed was the thing back in the day... and its been 'remastered' for this generation.
The original SH2 was PS2-exclusive for only a few months. Remastered version is exclusive for over a year lol.
But both companies played the timed exclusives game for so long so it’s no surprise.
Sony is the king of paying for exclusives. Anytime Xbox does it Sony fans go berserk. But when the shoes on the other foot they flop like a fish out of water.
Two fold publishers look at the loss in sales due to exclusivity and given how little Xbox sells in general Sony's generally able to get a greenlight for this behaviour if they fund it.
Microsoft think buying punishers is acceptable but they dug a huge financial hole as a result
Nintendo is just Nintendo and don't care
Yeah it's not like Xbox paid for exclusivity for games like Ark 2, Stalker 2, Warhammer Darktide or anything like that right? Oh wait.....
Just because that's the announced end doesn't guarantee it will be coming to xbox at that point or ever to be honest.
And even if it does it'll be an inferior version without the haptics and the Tempest audio which I expect will be a huge part in setting the mood in a game like this.

Good.
Now that you´re releasing games and making big money from every gaming platform, you should double that amount and give us even more day one third party games!
You’re delusional beyond belief. Businesses wise it doesn’t make sense and sooner or later they’ll be raising prices again to cover that billion they’re blowing every year.
As someone else said earlier today, they are past the growth stage, it’s been stagnent for last 3 years, they are now in the money making stage, prepare to be goosed for as many dollars as possible for the least amount of content. It may not be bad now, (actually it is) but it will be soon (even worse) this year you got hellblade and starfirld and a load of other games that could be bought in bargain bins for about $5-30 and for that you pay them monthly
To add I honestly don’t know how you put up with the barrage of Xbox negativity (which is deserved). I put it down to:
A) you are being paid
B) you may have a problem thinking clearly
C) prefer rooting for the underdog, that’s a legit thing too. English people do it by default
Yeah Aussies also love an underdog as long as that underdog isn't Xbox as they were too of the game with the 360 then lost their minds
3 straight years of missing Gamepass targets. Some people are just blinded by their own idiocy. Will be interesting to see if COD does anything this fall
He is a troll. Designed to stoke people up on here. We know this.
It’s quite funny.
Are you insane? You want them to double the amount when the Xbox is already struggling and losing money 🤔
They'll do that, after creating 4 more higher-priced tiers and making the one that currently includes everything only contain games that have been on the market for 4 years.
"Gamepass Ultra to the MAX: Now only $299 per year!"
They are trying to get a return on abk and Bethesda they won't double day one we're lucky we are still getting them now that day one has been removed from base tiers
They want to make money not give it away
I like how they twist cannibalising game sales into "invests".
No lifetime sales with MS, they'll F-up gaming the same as streaming services have done to the movie industry and it's workforce.
Out of interest do you think those 3rd parties signing the deal are unhappy with the severence and have a gun to their head?
Bro probably has a PS+ sub and has library full of Epic launcher free games.
we know this, we have known this since last year.
this is not new or news.
"The Hamburg-based (Germany) indie games publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Rome-based (Italy) indie games developer ONE-O-ONE GAMES, are today super happy and excited to announce that their gripping narrative thriller "The Suicide of Rachel Foster", is now available for the PS5 via PSN." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I whole heartedly agree with your blog comment.
I agree, I was pissed off at the spoiler, too. If the bloody reviewers could have stated this after reviewing the game, a lot of people wouldn't have had the game spoiled for them.
I also remember EGM refusing to review the game, because Konami asked them not to comment on the install time (for the reasons you already stated). They were just feigning integrity, and now they look really stupid because of it.
And the idiot who posted the spoiler in the first place deserves to be burnt, too.
