Is it a good Ghostbusters game? I hope it's not like the last movie.

Nah, the first one. The one that is basically what Ghostbuster 3 would have been if Bill Murray hadn't held the project up until Harold Ramis died and killed the project for good. 

That's so sad to hear. In this decade of excellent directors and producers, Ghostbusters would've been a hit under the right guidance.

It's one of my favourite childhood movies.

I think both Shadow of War and Assassin's Creed will make a fine bundle. AC Unity bundle sold well iirc even though the game was glitchy and people liked Mordor alot.

Microsoft should have bought marketing rights for Red Dead Redemption though, it would have been a perfect game to promote Scorpio. Then again, I don't know if marketing rights for Fallout and Witcher for example made much difference. Hard to say as we don't know how much these deals cost and are they even that profitable in the end.

There wouldn't be marketing deals for pretty much every bigger game if they wouldn't make a difference. 

It's just how marketing works, people see again and again advertisement and it burns in their brain. And especially with exclusive content you show people that it's "better" to own your console if you want the version with all content. 

Not to forget that they often use the exclusive content to let it sound as if the whole game would be exclusive with some smart wording.

Yeah I hear you. I was thinking about Europe, games like Fallout, Witcher, FIFA, CoD and even battlefield sold more on playstation and outside of UK I don't think these deals help to push console sales much. Everyone knows they're on playstation too. Witcher even sold better in US on playstation according to vgchartz 😐 Destiny, CoD and Battlefront sold well on Xbox even without marketing rights.

What I'm getting at, does it pay off for Microsoft to pay for these deals because of the bloodbath that's going on in Europe and other regions outside US and UK?

Called the Red dead delay ages ago!! rockstar do it everytime... I remember you Shika disagreeing with me at the time. but like you say.. Scorpio version FTW!



Pretty happy Red Dead got delayed. Leaves room for other big games cong later this year.



Surely MS has something up its sleeve?

Also hopefully console versions of player unknown battlegrounds or quake champions would be nice
