Microsoft comments on the PlayStation Showcase

When Sony bought Bungie they outright said all their future games will be multiplats. Did you guys think they were lying or something?

I laughed, at least it’s not another tedious tweet about cloud or different colour controllers.
Their showcase is going to be shit as well. It usually is sadly for me (please be good)

It was a good show for games in general. There’s much to enjoy as a gaming showcase, and since I have a PSVR2, the VR sections work well.
Underwhelming when you consider how it was sold by insiders and journalists as the wave 2 for PlayStation and a deep dive into what their studios are up to.

It was a good tweet. We all know Xbox has been a disaster and still has to deliver June 11.Lets not forget that Phil felt good about the Sony's showcase in 2020:
Xbox Exec Phil Spencer Says He "Felt Good" After Seeing Sony's PS5 Event
Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently spoke during a Gamelab Live 2020 interview about Sony’s big PlayStation 5 event and said Sony did a good job with its show and that he “felt good” after seeing what the competitor showcased. Sony’s been trailing Microsoft in terms of how much its showed off about...comicbook.com

But won't a multiplayer competitive shooter potentially bring in more money if its available on multiple platforms than making it exclusive to only one platform?
Sounds like a smart business desciion to me to have it on as many platforms as possible.
The guys running these companies are not console warriors.

Wasn't complete shit.
Had a couple of games I definitely wouldn't mind playing.

They need to STFU and deliver some big games before posting shit like this. You could actually do the same for there past events. Both MS and Sony need to sit and rethink there strategy because 3 years in this gen and the games are lacking (more on MS side).

The tweet is actually fairly innocent, Microsoft doing their part to inform users of content announced today coming to Xbox. But fanboys will read that as shots fired. Whoever wrote that tweet kind knew what they were doing too, as innocent as it seems.

Xbox usually has good presentations, but the titles that are interesting tend to be third party releases. Their first party always tends to be promises of stuff to come 2-5 years out with CGI trailers or even just CGI Teasers.
The xbox even in 2020 was still better than the trash that was the Sony event of 2020.

That's why you never pay attention to "insiders" and "journalists."
Haven't we learned by now?

People like to believe their own lies or just stay in denial so their favorite plastic box/colored flag stays winning in their childish mind. It's very sad.

You aren't missing anything, they're just saying which games are multiplats since the showcase was ambiguous to say the least. They don't even reference it directly or joke about it.
People have just reaaaaaally thin skin for some reason.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
More than insiders, folks built up a lot of expectations because this is their first event in 2 years.
It wasn't a dumpster fire, but it was pretty underwhelming.

Marathon on Xbox is Sony keeping up with their promise of giving Bungie full publishing rights after the acquisition.
Something Microsoft failed to do after hinting how it wouldn't be in their best interests to block Bethesda's newer IPs on Playstation.
And now Playstation owners are oh so sad that they can't play Redfall on their platform. Truly a major loss. Many people went on to sell their PS5s after that game launched.

Sony realizes that Destiny 2 has a large PC player base and wants those $$$$$'s. Bungie was also adamant about severing their players where they play.
I would imagine that buying a company that can continue to produce product at a high level which adds money to your bottom line must be a godsend for Sony.

how are you gloating instead of eating crow for everything you said about bungie in the other threads?

It's surprising for numerous reasons.
If they said that, the first surprise is that someone is actually sticking to their word and will still release on a competitor's platform.
The second surprise is spending $3.6 billion to not fully lock down said games on your platform. Obviously there is too much money involved to keep the games away from the Xbox console specifically - which itself is a surprise too.
The final surprise is how few major first-party exclusives, or even platform exclusives (which I thought Marathon was), were shown at this Sony showcase. Nearly everything is on Xbox too, which is why this dunk by MS is so effective.

The pearl clutching at this tweet is borderline absurd.
This *is* the point of Gamepass. We all know how much MS is struggling with their first party output, but being able to offer a large amount of third party content at significantly less cost than your competitor, is the commercial incentive that they are offering to consumers.

Damn man, why so salty?
Whose publishing it? It's been rumored to be the Netease game since last year.
More Info On Bungie’s New ‘Marathon’ Game, Which Seems Very Real
New information has emerged on Bungie's next non-Destiny game, which may be a PvP revival of Marathon.

Again, happy to be corrected, but I think it was suggested that MS passed over the chance to reaquire Bungie, and I expect that it was primarily down to the point that Bungie refused to go exclusive.
I think it makes sense for Sony. They’re an amazing studio. There’s the basic revenues that they will bring in and PS will be able to offer exclusive content on Destiny.
Still, it was a lot of money.

Marathon was in development long before the buyout, it even goes back to the time Bungie was under Activision, at which point it was defined as a "side project" on which Bungie could allocate a low % of their resources:
Sorry for the source in French but you can Google translate it I suppose.
The agreement to keep Bungie multiplatform was made between Bungie and Sony as a precondition to acquisition.
When did Microsoft promise Zenimax/Bethesda that they’ll leave them as a multiplatform developer post acquisition?

Warren and Grubb also both cited it as a Bungie and Netease game last year.
This was always going to be MP.

Say what you want about the show, and it sucked, but the way Xbox PR always try to piggy back on these to get some eyes on them tells you how the brand is in the toilet.

Fuck me did you even bother to read the announcement of the acquisition? All Bungie games will be multiplat. It’s been known for a long time.

I see a lot of comments describing MS tweet as "savage". I really don't understand the sentiment. They were just informing their customer base that these newly announced games were also coming to their platform.

The bar is set so low for them and they could easily top the show but like somebody posted in a different thread I don't think they will. I mean they could gain a lot of momentum if they showed actual gameplay of the next Doom/Quake and ES6 but they won't.

Hardly. This is playful ribbing and something they have both been doing to each other for decades at this point. You seem rather desperate to paint this as a negative thing for Xbox instead of Sony fucking up their big showcase.

What are you talking about? These aren’t gamepass games.
What, you guys are seeing what isn’t there. They have done this before, Spencer isn’t taking a dig at the showcase. Even if it deserves to be dunked on.

This. It's just ribbing, even if that, both brands social media does their fair share of it.

So they shouldn’t point out that the games are on their system and simply let everyone assume they’re exclusives?
I was mistaken in thinking they were on Gamepass, but what do you expect them to do?
