WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

IT IS ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT WILL BE ON XBOX, PC AND PS5.

>>717687784 (OP)
Will they consider selling the Xbox brand or pawn off Xbox IPs? Please respond

>>717687784 (OP)
All good points, I actually want all of this to be real, especially Xbox canceling all further console production

>>717687784 (OP)

Now that's funny

>>717687784 (OP)
>>whole slate of PS games are coming to Xbox, yes including single player
Why? No one buys games on Xbox.

>>717687784 (OP)
Tell those retards to release their BC Fusion emulation on PC, fucking faggots.

What about the Kojima game

>>717689258
Disagree.
I want to see them release each and every dumpster fire so I can laugh and watch youtube hate videos about them.

Big if true, they spent a ton of money on something that looks so mediocre

I don't think Satya would want to be the CEO that will be remembered for destroying a household name.

>>717693671
MS is making money hand over fist with Azure. You think he gives a shit about the Xbox peanut gallery?

>>717687784 (OP)
fable was the only thing I was interested in from this garbage company but deep down I knew they would screw it up anyway so it's for the better

>>717693671
He already killed windows phone. It wouldn’t be the first time. and Xbox is hardly a household name anymore.

I'm telling bros, Xbox buying Activision and Zenimax are the worst things that could have happened to gaming. That's why it feels like there are no games and droughts are so long. It's because MS cancels everything and don't give anything a chance. They single-handedly killed AAA gaming and possibly even gaming in general too considering that without anything exciting happening anymore normies will just walk away, money will dry up and that is it.

I know at least two top trannies in your HQ. The last 15 years are their fault, and the fault of the people up top (including the tranny's dads) giving them creative and developmental freedom.

Everyone knows that

i know this is a shitpost but it's still amusing to think that the "whole slate of PS games" thing is real based on what Sony has said about their 3rd party push. yes, Xbox is getting more stuff like Helldivers. because that benefits everyone. the fact that the rest of OP's shitpost is convincing enough is proof that putting $70 current gen AAA single player stuff on that platform makes no sense.

>>717697574
Theyll grind Actiblizzard and Bethesda to the ground
How is that a negative?

>>717696485
gaming has never been healthier

you will buy a $5000 GPU to play pixel art indie visual novels developed by one person and you will be happy

>>717687784 (OP)
Gears of war is a surefire hit though. Even the single player will make it worth it for gamers. And it has cross play too.

Bad larp

the Fable thing is so fucking ridiculous and i have no idea why people don't make fun of them for it more often.

>shit, we shouldn't have shut down Lionhead.... i want a new Fable game... i really want a new Fable game but i also really don't wanna give Molyneux a call... shit, who should we get to make it? uhh... uhh.... hey, you guys that have only ever made racing games for us, congrats! you're making the new Fable game! isn't that exciting? what the fuck do you mean you don't have any experience making RPGs and don't know how to make one?! it's gotta be out next year, dammit! or maybe the year after that! please?? if you make it, we'll only lay off 50% of your staff instead of 80%!! pretty please?!?!

imagine if Nintendo finally decided to reboot F-Zero and gave the project to Gamefreak. or if Sony decided to have the Gran Turismo developers work on a Killzone reboot.

>>717698409
You have no idea how many simpletons unironically believe that's how things SHOULD work

>all you retards just eat up the OP larp
This board is such a shithole

>>717687784 (OP)
none of that would be very surprising if true, honestly. it was what i was expecting at least.

I still cant believe that both Xbox and Sony just decided to commit suicide at the exact same time. The end of the console wars is Nintendo wins by default, so anti-climactic lmao.

>>717697661
>i-its only going to be l-live service games!
Holy copium

>>717698409
The original Lionhead guys are long gone anyway. When they had the chance to fund Fable 4, they forced Lionhead to work on the vaporware Project Milo and the terrible Fable: The Journey to try and boost the Kinect. They wanted that tasty Wii money, thinking that the Kinect would sell just like the Wii did (which was a retarded thing to think). Then they canned Lionhead when their projects all sold poorly, cutting their losses on the buyout and just shelving the Fable brand until they decided to use it later.

In your examples, it'd be more like if Nintendo drove Game Freak out of business by having them make non-pokemon games, and then handed Pokemon to someone later. Still retarded, but at least the reuse of the brand later makes some sense. I don't think Fable 4 is gonna be good though. I predict a complete failure to recapture the humor.

>>717699093
Going multiplat with your games isn't suicide you retarded child.

>>717687784 (OP)
>MS is considering cancelling Gears E-Day
I believe it.

>>717699232
i mean, yeah. there's no evidence to suggest otherwise. especially since its common knowledge that the only games that people on that platform actually buy are multiplayer-focused normieslop. it's a big difference vs. Xbox needing to put their games in places where they'll actually sell.

>>717699369
It is admitting defeat though.

>>717699313
didn't Molyneux admit that project Milo was 100% fake and was never intended to actually release?

>>717699436
Will you kill yourself when Nikocadoizon and Onions of War release on Xbox?

>>717699625
i don't game on console for exclusives so i don't see why i would. i'm just waiting to hear a good reason why they would port those games to a console with a userbase below 30 million users that largely don't buy games

>>717699973

>They single-handedly killed AAA gaming
Based Microshit
Fuck AAA gaming.
And fuck western AA gaming too, it's all UEslop nowadays.

>>717699542
It was more that he said Microsoft "never intended to actually release" it. Project Milo was his grand vision of some kind of game, maybe a visual novel type thing, but he couldn't sell Microsoft on the idea. He said Microsoft killed Project Milo because they wanted the Kinect to be a party-game type peripheral, and not for targeting core gamers like Molyneux wanted. But yeah, it never got out of the extremely early tech demo phase.

>>717700062
i mean, you say that like that number is somehow hard to believe.

>>717699313
>it'd be more like if Nintendo drove Game Freak out of business by having them make non-pokemon games, and then handed Pokemon to someone later
Doesn't work because that would be an actually good idea an actual improvement, hell even Sony's 1st parties would do a better work than GameFreak at this point.

>>717700332
>>717699313
The analogy falls flat because Nintendo only co-owns Pokemon with Game Freak and Creatures and Nintendo doesn't actually own those two

legitimately why does any studio work with microsoft?
I've seen them announce and immediately cancel more games than release them

>>717704767
Microsoft money
Mr. Shitface is terrible at money management so I guess he figured having a big company like Microsoft handling it would be better

>>717704767
Investor maxxing by screwing BlackRock out of billions of taxpayer grants by pretending to be developing globohomo approved DEI/ESG slop and a constant revolving door of diversity hires, they are basically gayming the system by profiting from goodgoy points from BlackRock and then ACK'in the pozzed dogshit when it's time to release it after a decade which would be a net loss so it's better to just abort it and start over, at this point they don't really have to release new vidya, only pretend to be working on it while letting a couple of low budget indie turds go through to save face.

>>717697493

This is true, same with Xbox games on other systems; the ones that do are outliers.

Most sensible thing. Xbox was been dead last since it's inception.

>>717709593
He'd only buy it to further his X fetish

>>717709908
They should fight to the death for everyone to see. I'd honestly pay good money to see investors and CEO's killing each other in gladiatorial arenas.

>>717687784 (OP)
I think Xbox would be more profitable if they tried selling games instead of just making them and cancelling them.

>>717687784 (OP)
This is all fake.
Fable, Gears and Halo won't be cancelled.
Not all PS games are coming to Xbox
Double Fine Ninja Theory and Compulsion will all still exist; at worse they'll be sent to the COD mines.

>>717710556
>Double Fine Ninja Theory and Compulsion will all still exist; at worse they'll be sent to the COD mines.
Xbox Game Studios, Activision-Blizzard, and Zenimax are still separate branches under the Microsoft umbrella

It is. Xbox Series has sold around the same numbers as OGXbox sustaining the downward trend

The PS1 and PS2 mogged the fuck out of the competition

>>717697392

Who says they are, retard? Probably the same guy who told you that xboomers are paying for anything except gamepass.

>>717707231
Can MS afford to be picky? They are even keeping obsidian around and all they are doing is pumping out small flops, but pumping them out fast.

What do you faggots gain from posting shit like this? You know that this has nothing to do with real life. You know that you are completely wrong.

>>717699542
Even if he didn't it obviously was fake.

>>717712159
>missing the point
Notice how that was isolated cases from the trend and only happened because external/side players tried to undermine Nintendo.

FUD from an angry sony pony. AMD and kepler have already confirmed the nextbox being real (and the most powerful console) and Fable is not cancelled.

>Fable canceled
>Double Fine, Ninja Theory on the chopping block

kek you're so full of shit. Those are the last two studios they'd cut and Fable is way too far along for them to scrap. Clueless Sony pony dogshit

>>717716038
What has DF done after Psychonauts 2?

>>717716193
Psychonauts 2 didn't sell a ton but it did well enough. They're releasing a game in October

>>717712657
They can’t afford to be picky but they also don’t know what they’re doing. Obsidian’s putting out AA quantity-over-quality stuff because that's what MS wants - content for Game Pass injection. They’re not trying to make hits, they’re trying to keep the fridge stocked. Whole publisher’s being run like a Netflix originals slate.
