See you in March, Ghostwire.

I didn't bother getting Deathloop, I don't think it's my type of game after seeing all those previews, but Ghostwire is really good/fun.

 

[SportsFan581]

This also addresses any concerns I had about Sony likely having a contract clause blocking Game Pass release for a period of time of certain games even once the timed exclusivity period was up. If they didn't even have it on this game, which was a full timed exclusive, chances are slim they have any such thing on the Call of Duty franchise. It confirms Sony really does have no Game Pass contingency, which further explains their aggressiveness in attempting to block the Activision deal.

From what we saw of the RE8 deal, there seemed to be some wiggle room so long as Sony's service got offered the same deal. Maybe that's what happened here, thus Deathloop being on both + and GP.

But, I'm sure the deals are different from title to title. Some of the publishers are going to have more bargaining power than others, likely resulting in the deals not being as pro-Sony.

Finally now that they're out of the contract shackles, Bethesda have started marketing Deathloop with Xbox in earnest, starting with a special Deathloop themed controller.

I like the touch there with the exaggerated YT unboxing aesthetic. The dramatic hand movements and the preoccupation with the packing materials.

Love the tone there. Well done. 8/8 Visionaries would agree.

 

[Ozriel]

The most unimpressive "10/10" game ever.

I don't know a single person who bought this game or cared.

And yet you know it’s ‘unimpressive’ despite never buying or playing it.

 

[Lognor]

It's not either of those.

It is good. Not great.

Another good game coming to Game Pass! Can't wait to try it! I love Arkane games.

It was doing "ASMR" for lulz.

What's even lulier is that they just used Xbox Design Labs because Xbox wouldn't waste their time making a real DeathLoop controller.

 

[SportsFan581]

That to, yeah.

Does MS do custom controllers if they aren't doing a le/se console to match? I know they sell the game themed controllers separately, but I always remember a console existing too.

Tons of times, the one that comes to mind is the Forza custom controller they made a big deal of.

Is this the first game to come out on PS extra and GP same time?

Big win for Sony.

Was advertised the game on the dashboard. $80 bucks for the deluxe edition: pre-order, Sept 20th. No mention of Gamepass. They usually do not hide that fact, so I thought that was a bit strange.

 

[Little Mac]

Gamepass Deathloop, Ni No Kuni, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Persona 5 Royal?!

That's the DELUXE edition, I saw that too, but you click on the game then scroll down and you'll see the REGULAR VERSION and I've already pre-loaded it with GamePass.

What is this weird shit, why it's so dramatic. Is this the "ASMR" shit? And if so, why it's on official channel. I hate it

 

[JaksGhost]

How?

We all knew this was eventually going to be a Game Pass game that much was always a guarantee. For PlayStation to be able to get this next-gen Bethesda title on PS+ is absolutely a win for Sony, too. Whether they paid for it or not it's still a good get. I mean I'm seeing opinions change on the fly now that it's coming to GP but that's now how you guys received it when you had to shell out money for it.

Thanx!!! Nothing about the deluxe is deluxe enough for $80 bucks. Will pre-download this immediately. Edit. Only 36gb's? Seems small nowadays.

 

[balls of snow]

Might grief the newbs with Juliana. Stalking and poking them from time to time but never going all out, makes the player lose their nerve and fail the mission anyways.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

See you in March, Ghostwire.

Never seen so many people hyped for disappointing games just because another publisher owns them. Deathloop will seem so boring without the dualsense since that is one of the biggest features. Reminds me of Metro Exodus, great use of controller features.

First right of refusal on sub services is a part of their marketing agreement if the Village contract is to go by. Abiding by the signed contracts isn't a win for either console lol. It was a necessary wait for the Xbox release and that wait time is over.

Again. How is it a win for Sony, that a game that came out a year ago, becomes free with psplus now?

It is technically new on xbox, and is directly on game pass. With brand new content widespread.

25 million people are able to play it by no additional cost because they have game pass.

 

[SportsFan581]

I think it was meant to be a bit of a joke. Xbox does this type of thing quite a bit with their marketing, whether it's a video framed as an 80s dating service or one of those As-Seen-On-TV type commercials. I think it's funny, myself.

Speaking of the controller itself, it's not a bad color combination. They should do more of those, where they take the options available and make some predefined templates for different games. Maybe one day we'll get to a point where they have a design lab for the console itself, would no doubt cost you extra though.

 

[Hendrick's]

Basically yeah, some people really thought MS wouldn't put a first party on game pass, at least date and time with its PS+ release.

That makes no sense as the reason it is even on PS+ is because it's on Game Pass.

Damn, that's an ugly controller.

 

[CosmicComet]

I have eyes. Graphics and artstyle are shit and the gameplay loop looks boring af. To be expected of a rogue like I guess.

It's a typical 7/10 looking game that had the most unconvincing media darling reviews I've ever seen.

Fuck that low quality bit rate audio together with that asmr cringe make me want to stab my ear repeatedly with a screwdriver.

 

[R6Rider]

That controller is a bit ugly with the orange and gold together, but still not as ugly as the "facemask" (I think) that came with some copies like at GameStop.

Crossplay is the best new thing added, as that means better queue times for invasions.

Big win for MS.

Sony paid a ton of money to Bethesda for a year long deal and PS+, and it also sold at normal prices.

It comes to GP which half the Xbox gamers are on. The money Sony and PS gamers paid subsidized GP users.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Playstation beat them to the punch. How can it be an exclusive game if it's already sloppy seconds? Getting Deathloop with no Dualsense is like Goldeneye with no multiplayer...

Maybe try to use the controller with your hands instead of your mouth.

nah, I made a while video showing how shit the aiming is, if you like that filtered, acceleration infected shit with axial slowdown, good on you. I like good FPS controls

Cause we all know it was coming to Gamepass after one year, its a MS first party title. Sony secured the launch right there with them, crawl out of that.

Does it have KB/M support on console? Great to hear if true.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Can't wait. Welcome home. It's a fantasticly well designed game once you take the time to understand what it is. Super Creative, very fun looking title.

It was hard not diving into this one on my PS5. Wanted my first experience to be on my Series X.

 

[Lognor]

You might be the first person I've seen say that. Ghostwire had fairly middling reviews. Really came and went.

Well I guess I'll see for myself in March

 

[Robbinhood]

Seems like a good time to jump in with the extra content, i held off but almost bought it on sale a few times

 

[hemo memo]

People liked it a lot before it was announced it might head to Xbox.

Deathloop OT

We had a big brain person on the first page

You even got a better deal with the extra content.

Nothing makes a game funner than haptic feedback. Get real. Dualsense is absolutely additive to the game experience, but to make the claim it will be boring without it is just asinine.
