Microsoft confirms MGS3 & other games featured in Playstation Showcase are coming to Xbox

Microsoft tweeted the list of 1st & 3rd party games from PlayStation Showcase, that are also coming to Xbox.

Really? Do they really want to go down the exclusive path...

Microsoft feels it gets one little win and they start throwing digs like they've been itching to do it.

Sonic1881374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

So Phantom Blade isn't exclusive? I think that game is an exclusive or at least a time exclusive

RpgSama373d ago

LOL, everybody kind of knew this, who thought that AC Mirage, the EA game, Alan Wake or Marathon were going to be exclusives?

I do not get these people, if Sony grabs them all as exclusives then that's bad and anti-consumer, but if they are also coming to Xbox then it's a loss for Sony, LOL, you just cannot win with some people.

Army_of_Darkness373d ago

There was nothing vocally or written during that showcase that implied any of those games to be a Sony console exclusive, so I'm not sure why MS had the need to point out the obvious??

tbagmonster373d ago

army, actual they all just said ps5 during the breifinf, so ms decided to remind people

darthv72373d ago

I saw this list on Twitter yesterday. It tells me there are 12 games they wont have to show to fill time.

Focus more on the other stuff they got planned.

LOL, talk about reaching for MS, what a terrible way to count yourself in the conversation.

Godmars290373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

Comes off as petty really. Especially considering MS bought several for multis.

Also didn't think for a second AW2 wasn't going to the Xbox.

itsmebryan373d ago

Sometimes these showcases make games seem like exclusives. They are just stating facts why is thar petty? Did you know all of the games Xbox showed were coming to Xbox?

specialguest373d ago

It's business and competition. Of course MS should let their customers know that those games will also be available on Xbox, and the timing during this showcase is the perfect time. Do you think pride to not go down that road matters in terms of sales? F**k no! Strike while the opportunity is there. Who gives a f**k if it's petty

Godmars290373d ago

@specialguest:
"Who gives a f**k if it's petty"

Would have hoped, a console maker who pretty much has to be shamed into making games, and even then has to buy 3rd party studios to have anything of note.

neutralgamer1992373d ago

It’s ok man these clarifications are more for casuals. All companies show 3rd party games but we don’t expect to see PlayStation logo during the reveal of a 3rd party game at Xbox show

What I want more is gameplay. Way too many games showed absolutely nothing but a damn logo

ModsDoBetter373d ago

To be fair, I did notice during the PS Showcase that afterwards they only showed “PS5” or “PS4 PS5 PC” at the bottom so I did actually have to do a quick Google search to see what titles were coming to other platforms.

I’m not sure if Microsoft show other platforms their games are coming to following the trailer but it did seem a bit strange.

Shane Kim373d ago

It's always like this. They never show their competitors logo.

FinalFantasyFanatic373d ago

I literally watch Nintendo directs to google which games are coming to Steam, lol, I wouldn't be surprised if others did this to other shows to see which games are coming to their console of choice.

GhostScholar373d ago

It was actually a good move strategy wise whether you like Xbox or not. It takes what was already a sub par Sony showcase and makes it even worse because pretty much every game Sony showed is coming to Xbox other than ff16, Spider-Man, and phantom blade. Now Microsoft can show games that aren’t coming to Sony. If you know anything about sales and advertising you can’t deny this was a good move by Microsoft. They don’t have to waste time showing any of those games at their own showcase and can focus on the stuff that is exclusive. Now that being said theyre still never catching Sony and we all know that.

ravens52373d ago

Microsoft will show 3rd party multiplat games as well. They have at all their past big showcases.

ifinitygamer373d ago

@Army_of_Darkness They point these things out for folks who aren’t on N4G and other news sites all the time. There are many many more casual gamers than there are folks on here, so the messaging gets muddy real quick. People often think something gets announced at a showcase and that means it’s exclusive, so Microsoft needs to get ahead of it to show that’s not quite how it works.

Christopher373d ago

This is peak petty and even worse if any of those show up at their event on June 11th.

Zeref373d ago

Nonsense.

This was a move to clarify that these games are multiplats to casuals.

It was a great move. Especially since they did it so fast after the showcase.

Zeref373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

They are just stating facts.
They got ahead of the potential narrative that some of these games are exclusive.

Especially MGS(a former Playstation only franchise) and Marathon(a Sony 1st party studio) , a lot of people might have thought those were exclusive.

It was a great move and cleared the air quickly.

You only see it as a dig because you're insecure and your feelings got hurt.

Looks like phantom blade is exclusive Good to see especially with Ghost of tusuhima Doing good

LOGICWINS373d ago

"Looks like phantom blade is exclusive"

This comment won't age well....

Sonic1881373d ago

It's a PC and PS5 console exclusive. Just look it up

VenomUK373d ago

What you got straight after the showcase was the Xbox Twitter account making clear that many of the games shown for PS5 will also be available on Xbox. Fine, that's the social media account doing its job and pacifying its user base and persons considering buying a PS5 to play these games.

However, the worst part is that head of Xbox PHIL SPENCER retweeted this which smacks of desperation.
https://twitter.com/Xbox/st...
His business philosophy is to take games away from other player bases and then takes delight when the competition reveals third party multiplatform games. There is a dissonance here because it then puts more pressure on Sony to get third party exclusives so it actually lessons the chance of multiplatform games being released.

GotGame818373d ago

It's also coming to PC. So it isn't an exclusive per say. It won't be on Xbox. It looks great!

Rimeskeem373d ago

Aren't the devs supposed to confirm this?

373d ago
Godmars290373d ago

Have they ever?

Most keep their mouths shut for a year.

Crows90373d ago

Not at all.
They dont need to. The only time devs and others stay quiet is when theres exclusivity. Sony went first and therefore many of the 3rd party will be shown first by their showcase. Maybe that was their strategy. I dont like it at all.

Xbox has...like the biggest ever advantage here. If they screw up...words cant describe the situation at xbox.

tbagmonster373d ago

they will screw up, they always do

porkChop373d ago

Usually the devs can't for a certain period of time. It's due to Sony having exclusive marketing rights.

15 Big Reveals That Could Happen at the Rumored PlayStation Showcase

There's a good chance that we'll end up seeing several of these rumoured announcement, if a showcase does indeed happen.

Percentage time

SP Ghost 2: 50% chance. Maybe, depends on if the game is a 2025 game then yes, if it's a 2026 game then no. Unless they show something really early.

Asobo Astro bot: 100% guaranteed it's been rumored heavily. Release date this year.

Bend Studios New ip: 80% most likely. Its been 5 years they're gonna show a trailer in engine with a 2025 release date

Blue Point New ip: 60% possible. It's been almost 4 years. They could be another year off from showing something. I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't show up quite yet.

FireSprite VR: 80% most likely new games being announced.

Fire Walk's Concord: 100% guaranteed. 2024 release in depth gameplay and all.

GG: 90% highly likely. Horizon Zero Dawn remake. Plus Horizon LS game also announced (my prediction)

Haven Studios Fairgame$: 90% highly likely gameplay trailer with a release date of possible early 2025.

Housemarque New ip: 40% chance hardly likely. I think they're still some ways away Returnal released in 2021 3 years is too short to show something.

Insomniac Wolverine: 40% chance hardly likely. They could easily do a mock up gameplay from what we've seen from leak but they're not gonna be pressured to so. The game is leaked to release in 2026. They might hold off until next year.

Media Molecule: 90% highly likely. Said to be a new IP will be shown and announced this year.

Naughty Dog New IP 40% hardly likely. Druckmann has been teasing and teasing for a year now I dont think he's ready to show off the game or announce what it is. It's still a little ways off.

Santa Monica New ip: 70% chance likely. Think Cory Barlog will tease something officially for a late 2025 release. Don't be gameplay but a tease and a name at the end of Sony's showcase as the one more thing.

Cacabunga7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I honestly just want to be reassured by seeing single player games from 1st party studios. I’m a bit worried after all this long very unusual quiet period from PlayStation

Sony Bend game is gaas 😣

YourMommySpoils6d ago

Your post alone without the showcase got me excited. Thanks.

OtterX7d ago

I really wish Sony would take a hybrid approach w the new Astrobot game. Give us one that can be played flat on PS5 or on PSVR2!

Sonic18817d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Let's not forget about the second and third party exclusives that we still don't know anything about.

Abear216d ago

Skate / GTA6 still most wanted imo

purple1016d ago (Edited 6d ago )

wow you covered all studios. impressive, also there have been doing deals recently and having success, such as stellar blade, Helldivers, etc. so there might be some we are not privy to.

also, Capcom, pragmata, where are youuuuuu
also, quantic dream we haven't heard from for a while, they're heavily associated with playstation but currently working on starwars

lastly, Polyphony digital is the only other studio you missed, but we all know it takes them bloody ages between games, so GT8 is still a few years away, they still busy running e-sport live events off the back of GT7

Hotpot6d ago

About GG, I don’t think they’ll remake 1st Horizon just yet when the last game end on a hella big cliffhanger, if there’s a Horizon title there it’s definitely the last of trilogy

Cacabunga6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I’m hoping to see a new killzone before a new horizon.
And please no remake of first one, only a performance patch is enough

Lightning776d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I believe it's been rumored they're remastering the first one. I also forgot to mention Horizon Leggo game rumored.

Really want to see what SP has cooking as I am running through ghost on PC atm. And it's about time the ff9 remake gets revealed.

Cacabunga7d ago

They just released FF7. Give them some time. I think if we see something from SE it will be Kingdom Hearts 4..

MrBaskerville6d ago

They could do FFIx next year, or this holiday. There was less than a year between FFXVI and Rebirth.

anast7d ago

This is the new gaming event. It's going to hit hard.

Demetrius6d ago

I'm ready to see an improvement in graphics too and even smoother gameplay, ps studios always push hardware 💪🏾

purple1016d ago

yep this is round two of games, they're going to be ps5 only, that makes development more streamlined, surely,

Look at how D2 Is being egregiously over-monetized & tell yourself this won't be like that 😉

Jingsing66d ago

Make a proper fleshed out single player Marathon with a multiplayer component. That will get the best out of it.
