Why are you surprised? Most companies couldn't care less about power or specs (higher dev cost), that's just an excuse for them to raise current game prices. Especially with Switch titles like TotK and MK 1 retailing for $69.99.
All they care about is your money.
Truth be told. Fighting games for the past decade have essentially been treated as Early access.
Spencer was only required for righting the ship for the XB1 launch in terms of Always online and Backward compatibility. Since then, his watch has been a complete flounder whose long overstayed his welcome.
Matt Booty is a stooge who gets told by Phil that "These are not the droids you're looking for."
Then play MK Onslaught when it launches instead. It uses the MK11 character iterations and is based on the previous timelines.
Don't expect any flash sales for Alan Wake 2 (outside of Epic Store). Epic Games is notorious for reserving sales specials exclusive to the Epic Store as a means to drive up traffic to the site.
This was Epic's call. With the game being published by Epic Games, don't expect to see it hit sales on any other digital storefronts other than Epic's own store.
That's why we wait a year for the Komplete Edition.
There's a conspiracy theory going around that Phil and crew over at Xbox deliberately gimped the launch of Redfall to try to make the Activision-Blizzard purchase appear more as a necessity..
Been saying this for awhile. Phil's meek, hands off approach to development is destroying the Xbox division.
In all honesty, Phil should have been removed from his position at Xbox after the disastrous Halo Infinite gameplay debut but the Bethesda purchase announcement gave him a slight spark moving into the 9th Gen.
Say what you will about Don Mattrick but you never had 1st party games launching in unbaked, incomplete states on Xbox back when he was...
More like Back 4 Blood 2023.
Of course they're not. The ruling was overkill. You cant squeeze blood from a turnip.
Didn't he approve of and give the Godawful Halo TV(Paramount +) series his full blessings? Good riddance.
Mistwalker is merely a production studio whose been relegated to mobile games.
Feelplus (a studio MS helped form) and Artoon were primarily responsible for both the developments of Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. The main reason why the never got direct sequels (outside of BD DS spin-off) is because their parent company (AQ Interactive) shut the studios down shortly before itself closing shop.
If anything, MS should have purchased AQ Interactive before they...
That's why a game like HiFi Rush (a game with no promotion) has been enjoying great success on Xbox and PC. Also, if you're to assume that because its on GP is the only reason it's successful on the platform (Xbox) , the GP version has a fraction of the reviews that the Deluxe (paid version) has by a large margin.
Lol at call Condemned an FPS. There was hardly any shooting and which few firearms you'd pick up, there'd be like 3 to 5 rounds in them.
A looter shooter with a DC skin slapped on. WB exploiting the DC license.
They might as well call it Gotham City Imposters 2.
Obviously not. His studio Spicey Horse was shut down and nowadays, he's been spending most of his time being an unapologetic CCP shill. How ironic for a guy whose first name is American.
MS is probably temporarily taking it off to test and implement cloud game play.
Why are you bringing up games like Quantum Break and ReCore in your argument? Those are 1st party ips and they released simultaneously on XB and PC.
The initial claims of lost source code didn't make much sense anyhow. The Cybertron titles were re-released for PS4 and XB1 digitally back in 2016. So Activision/High Moon lost the source codes after just seven years?
