Vague statement but if I'm going to guess, they make the Xbox version for a game pass deal if the game does really well on ps and pc.

 

[Punished Miku]

Appreciate the clarification. Sounds like a classy team.

 

[gokurho]

 

[schaft0620]

So obvious the quote was fake.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

It sucks that this statement will probably be overshadowed by the one from that "unnamed dev"...

I know people were clapping at it, but I just think it's arrogant and infantile. Plenty of people play Xbox, and some of them would like to play Phantom.

If it's not gonna be on Xbox, then don't say anything. You don't need to indirectly say "fuck those players, get a Playstation".

Good on them for distancing themselves, but...

So, the statements were actually said and they're not denying it. Lmfao

I mean, that’s not what that says at all?

 

[ManaByte]

I read it was a mistranslation from a Brazilian site of something said at China Joy.

Console wars rotted alot of people's brain.

??? The statement does not suggest what you say it does. The wording "claimed statements" suggest uncertainty in the authenticity.

 

[lughnasadh123]

We're not saying it's coming to Xbox, we're just not NOT saying it is.

Nice damage control.

Console Warz powered by clout chasers/ and astroturfing + social media clowns; then you have one of the most wide spread retardation in gaming discourse.

its just content and clicks; it's a bunsiess model which some have made a living out of it.

The blizzard ex dev is making a living doing all this shit on Twitter.
Some people are unhinged.

That is what made him famous. Now he is doing other bat crazy shit.

i didn't even know about him until now.

I have no idea who we're on about even now. Which ex-blizzard dev?

Yeah that guy. He made a following now posting controversial topics.
Got the gold parachute when MS laid of their Xbox+abk employees, and kept posting about it.

With him being called ex blizzard guy, it was easy for people to believe his shtick.

Now he is farming views by posting about yasuka and assassin creed shadow situation nonstop.

 

[DJ12]

It's definitely true.

There was no denial, just that they don't agree with the way it was said

Pretty much

 

[March Climber]

 

[feynoob]

If they said that publicly, Sony would have cut their relationship with them.
These stuff are said in private. You don't share them in public. It's just disrespectful to any platform holders. Even if Sony and MS have rivalry. It's a business at the end of the day.

 

[GHG]

Considering the fact that they haven't denied it they might have been better off not addressing the statements at all.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

True or not, it's not surprising they'd want to distance themselves from the comments. Why burn bridges when you don't have to?

[Hayabusabruh]

They pretty much clarified it wasn't true and went on to say they want to bring it to as many players on release and in the FUTURE. Yet people are still like 'well they didn't deny it'. What?

I shouldnt be surprised, but this place still surprised me.

Hopefully people also stop with the whole 'moneyhatted by Sony!!!!' thing.

This is tldr for those who cant read standard PR.

Recently, we noticed that some media outlets have claimed to have interviewed an unnamed developer from S-GAME at Chinajoy, who seems to have made some statements regarding the release platforms and strategy for Phantom Blade Zero.

Some rat talked about our strategy with the media.

We want to clarify that these claimed statements do not represent S-GAME’s values or culture, as we believe in making our game accessible to everyone and have not ruled out any platforms for Phantom Blade Zero.

We dont claim the guy according to our pr response. Xbox platform may or may not be in our plan for the game.

We are hard at work on both the development and publishing fronts to ensure that as many players as possible can enjoy our game at release and in the future.

We are working hard to release it on current platforms. Xbox might get it in the future.

Our team is looking forward to sharing more development updates soon, and we are excited to bring our world premiere demo to Gamescom this month!

platforms will be announced this gamescom premier trailer. You might see which platform is missing.

tldr statement usually summarizes the main point. You used almost an equal amount of words as the original source. Good job.

 

[Astray]

I don't see them saying it's a false statement, so it's likely that a team member talked out of hand and maybe on record.

Considering the fact that they haven't denied it they might have been better off not addressing the statements at all.

Even if it's a confirmed truth, they can't just leave it in the internet ether to grow and become even bigger. They have to limit their exposure.

On the record =/= anonymously made statements.

 

[Three]

On the record =/= anonymously made statements.

On record just means they're happy to have the journalist publish a quote, anonymously or not.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Embarassing and people are now trying to spin this again.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

he is not console warring tho

There is no console war anymore anyway.

 

[adamsapple]

Definitely true guyzz ..

 

[Punished Miku]

Definitely true guyzz ..

5% confirmed that they hate Xbox. Where there's smoke there's fire.

Now you see, there was no denial from the generative A.I after all ..

 

[Oppoi]

The asian market needs Xbox now more than ever. Ironically Xbox stands on strong legs made of chinesium.
