Taul Passi: Black Myth Wukong not coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal

“Retarded” things is something all three main companies have done.
Grabbing this exclusively wouldn’t have been retarded, in fact, it would have been a slam dunk. The “retard” in the room is Microsoft here, because the Series S is what’s to blame.

lmao no.
The Minimum DRAM alone is above Series S's entire Shared RAM stack (16GB vs 10GB), this is not counting the 6-8GB of VRAM the Graphics card brings into it either, not talking about memory bandwidth either..

I'm surprised there are any left after Baldur's Gate 3.
But yeah.....I'll take my crow if this is legit. I thought MS was full of shit, but looking like they were not.

The 'we can't comment on deals' is still one of the vaguest PR-friendly statement that can be interpreted in multiple ways.
But if more 'insiders' start corroborating this, then there's probably fire along with the smoke.
Likely the same statement by MS being paraded as "a source with knowledge of the situation". Meanwhile Paul Tassi, the same person, was putting out articles a few days ago about "technical issues". They know f all and are just parroting the same statement they're getting sent.

For some odd reason, the folks who are easily lead to believe this rarely (if ever) address this question.

Riddle me this, why would the developer try to certify the game on Xbox if they had an exclusivity deal with PlayStation? Seems like bullshit. Doesn’t matter much though, Xbox makes plenty of Game Pass + time exclusive deals as well (and same with Sony for their sub service).

Star Wars Outlaws also requires 16GB minimum on PC and yet Series S runs it at 1080p with RT on just fine.

I think the deal was relatively recently - like signed in the last moment. Especially considering the performance of the game on PS.

Sony is pathetic now. MS is just not even a threat at this point. What a waste of money.

Did one side promise no price increases because of COD, then stop offering one of their subscription models while raising prices just before COD hit subscription?
My memory isn't what it used to be so I'm not sure if that happened on either side. If it did though, that would be very relevant when assessing credibility IMO.

Paul Tassi...lol
Say this is 100% accurate and there is an exclusivity deal (I don't believe there is).
Ok?

If Sony or Game Science don't shoot it down then I'm just assuming it is true at this point. Not sure why they are bothering to play games with this shit after so many other timed exclusives.

The Phantom Blade Zero devs were pretty quick to shoot down any exclusivity deals after those rumors started, kinda surprising that Black Myth guys didn't do that after the first round of these rumors weeks ago.

Except MS never spoke about any deals during the BG3 debacle, but nice pivot with the false equivalency fallacy there nonetheless

If true, MS gets points yet again for being basically the only large publisher in gaming that communicates directly with fans and press on a reliable basis. Even in their denial to comment, they basically told everyone what it was. Everyone else is totally silent or lying.

Interestingly enough, Outlaws actually got promoted by Sony on their blog while Wukong didn't..

Denial of comment is literally a planned lack of communication though.
I wonder why those journalists didn't just ask Sony for comment on their supposed deal?

Just to be clear I didn't say that.

made that claim and I was trying to slow walk him into the issue.

Im pretty sure the only one that has a deal with Game Science is Nvidia. And it should be a marketing deal not exclusivity.Interestingly enough, Outlaws actually got promoted by Sony on their blog while Wukong didn't..

Yeah because of memory issues with BG3. This game can run on a 1050 ti coupled to a PC with 8GB of RAM. Switching everything to low dramatically reduces the requirements needed to run the game. It looks like shit while doing so, but it does run.

They're all scared of Sony, and Sony doesn't maintain press contacts like they used to. Colin Moriarty talks about it. I wasn't trying to be funny. MS and Sony don't have equivalent transparency of communication this gen.

I wonder what megabucks Sony are paying that other dev who doesn't know how to write an email.

Right? You'd think a 15m selling game that is console exclusive would be something they'd want plastered everywhere.

The minimum requirements are for medium settings at 1080p. The game has settings lower then medium and resolutions far under 1080p exist. You can run the game on a PC specced well under what the official requirements are.Just to be clear I didn't say that.

Your right Sony actually states how long they exclusivity deals last in the game trailers while MS dosent.

They do have a marketing deal. Nvidia gave out codes with graphic card sales and posted some RTX ON/OFF videos on their channel, they also had day 1 game ready drivers, for whatever that's worth.
Why should they be scared of Sony? Are they going to send out assassins for asking about the conspiracy behind the Wukong moneyhat?
Worst case scenario you get on their blacklist and get to build some reporter rep for standing up to the big bad conglomerate.

Which truth? The smear campaign against Game Science has been wild for 2 months already, that's the only truth we can tell.
The fact that Sony is not capitalizing on this "deal" should be self-explanatory, but it takes half a second of brain power to figure that out instead of following the last piece of media bullshit.

Let me get this straight...
- The developers were paid to lie about this being a technical issue for the Xbox.
- Sony decided to go against everything they have done historically and not market this game.
- Xbox consoles were repeatedly listed whenever we got trailers or promotional material for the game yet Sony somehow screwed up all that in the last few months...
This entire thing sounds stupid.

Sony is playing 4d chess with this one, the Chinese market has long evaded foreign gaming giants like Microsoft and Sony. Anyone know any sales numbers yet out of China for Wukong?

If MS know for a fact that Sony has a deal, then why don't they say explicitly that is the case? MS are surely not legally bound to not comment on that. To me it sounds like convenient deflection from MS.
Ultimately it doesn't matter either way, it is what it is.

Pretty sure Jex gave the game a 7.5 on his review instead of an 8 or 8.5 because it's not available on Xbox yet.

Cool story dude. Believe whatever you like. I don't mind you having your own opinion.
No idea. And yeah, I honestly don't care about a wait. I just wish there was some clarity on what's going on. Probably just going to be random rumors, but I would love to find out for sure one way or the other.
