What does Xbox boss Phil Spencer actually think about the next gen? How does it compare to alternative price models, as presented by the competition? How important does he think cloud gaming is? He answered all these questions and many more in an exclusive interview for the Webedia Group's outlets (which also include GameStar and GamePro).
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
As PlayStation announces its new strategy to encourage PC users to choose PS5 it is a bitter-sweet moment for PC gamers.
I mean, it's a business based on hardware market. Do we expect them to not even try? It's not like Nintendo doesn't do the same by not putting any games on PC and Microsoft until recently did the same. I don't care what they attempt, as long as they don't abuse the community or lie about their goals/requirements.
Will it work? Not likely. Should we care? No. Let them waste their time, it doesn't affect anything.
I wish them the best of luck.
But PC players are often a patient bunch, many will even wait for Epic launcher exclusivity to end until a game comes to Steam.
If they didnt buy the console when its games were exclusive, why would they do it now theyre not?
PC gamers are just too patient and loyal to their gaming set ups, something they've spent a lot of money on to perfect. They have backlogs of games which many never get round to finishing or get round to at all and will always have other multiplatform releases to keep them going.
Over the many years Sony has published so many awesome titles such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Infamous, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Dreams, Puppeteer, Resistance, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo, Motor Storm, God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne
If none of those games BEFORE all these PC ports convinced a hardcore PC gamer to get a PS5 console then why on Earth would porting them them to PC now make any difference? All PC gamers now know 100% is that they just have to be patient, which they are good at anyway to get a PS5 game 2 years later.
I get GaaS games or multiplayer focused titles but if people really want to play these games they'd have gotten a PS console years ago.
Who cares? Then just stay on PC and play the waiting game. No big deal. Sony wins in the end anyway.
I mean if there's any single player Sony games that I actually want that aren't on PC then I would buy said console to play them on. But the ones that I like that aren't on PC are few and far between anyway so no loss for me.
If I game, it's usually multiplayer titles, otherwise I like playing around with some other software.
ARK: Survival Ascended has introduced Premium Mods on consoles. Wccftech talked to Studio Wildcard and their partner Overwolf about the rising importance of user-generated content, especially for live service games.
More double talk.
Not quite set in stone and yet Xbox officially stated that there is not going to be Xbox series x exclusives for at least a year.
If you are not yet sure, wait til you are clear about it because this reminds me the beginning of this Gen when Xbox was on total 180 u turns.
Hellblade 2 will be Xbox Series X/ PC exclusive
In the interview, Phil talks about "creators", not first party devs. I submitted this article, but I think Gamespot might be misinterpreting what Phil meant. They haven't updated the article to reflect any errors, though
3rd party partners and creators are free to make what they want. It could be xbo exclusive, sx exclusive, cross generational... it's their choice. All MGS games that are near release as well as those currently in development to be released within the next 1-2 years will be cross generational. those that are outside that 2 year mark are also under no obligation to be SX titles and could also be cross generational. It is their choice if they want to continue to support the xbo or if they want to be fully exclusive to the SX.
