Wouldn't that just be Death Stranding? Lol. Sony don't own the IP to it anymore so Death Stranding came to Xbox and Death Stranding 2 will almost certainly come to Xbox too but published by someone else, after Sony's exclusive period expires.

Stellar Blade will come to Xbox if the developers want it to come to Xbox I would think.

Key difference is that the Xbox and PC ports of Death Stranding were published by 505 Games. PlayStation is still publishing the PC version of Stellar Blade. So it's a different deal going on. We'll have to wait and see about the logistics of everything.

I figured they had cancelled it awhile back honestly, in development since 2019 but no gameplay trailer ever released, just the teaser trailer 4 years ago. After the lack of a gameplay trailer at Xbox 2024 Summer showcase I figured it was probably dead, and after no trailer on this year's summer showcase I was sure it was dead.  

Battlefield simply can't reach those numbers, it's not arcadey enough in it's gameplay to lure in casuals like Call of Duty, it's not kiddy enough to attract the Fortnite fans. The fact that they even think it can reach this number makes me think they're trying to reinvent the wheel to lure in either Fortnite or CoD fans, and all that is likely to do is chase away longtime Battlefield fans and make it flop even harder than Battlefield 2042. I'm thinking DICE will soon be on the EA chopping block after 2 failed games in a row. 

Many people were initially in awe of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools when they first arrived in late 2022. You could make a cartoon of a duck riding a motorcycle! But soon artists started speaking out, noting that their visual and textual works were being scraped to train these systems. The pushback from the creative community ramped up during the 2023 Hollywood writer's strike, and continued to accelerate through the current wave of copyright lawsuits brought by publishers, creatives, and Hollywood studios.

This generalized animosity towards AI has not abated over time. Rather, it's metastasized. LinkedIn users have complained about being constantly prompted with AI-generated questions. Spotify listeners have been frustrated to hear AI-generated podcasts recapping their top-listened songs. Reddit posters have been upset to see AI-generated images on their microwavable noodles at the grocery store.

Tensions are so high that even the suspicion of AI usage is now enough to draw criticism. I wouldn't be surprised if social media users screenshotted the em dashes in this piece—a supposed giveaway of AI-generated text outputs—and cast suspicions about whether I used a chatbot to spin up sections of the article.

The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger | WIRED

Given the shitstorm that’s hit the teams behind The Alters, Magic: The Gathering, and Jurassic World Evolution 3 (among other titles), I’d be deeply intrigued to hear why someone would consider it a safe move to use generative AI on their project at this point - let alone go all-in on it.

If Microsoft thinks Steam users are going to rollover and accept their AI usage too, Lol.

They're going to be absolutely torn apart like all these other developers have been.

Not unusual in corporate. Remember it's spreadsheet management.

Every year employees get rated: Overperformer, average, below average. The below average get cut and rehired.  

Now below average does not equal bad, it just means below the average even doing a job well. 

This is done to keep employees on their toes and 'motivated' to be at the better half of the class.

I think the other aspect of the backlash is that AI isn't being casually adopted by consumers, it is literally being forced onto them, like I said before, I am sick of death of seeing Google AI showing me its shitty summaries which are often wrong, I'm sick of accidentally clicking "Ask CoPilot" on the right click, I'm sick of CoPilot being rammed down my throat anywhere I look, I'm sick of my Facebook being littered with AI garbage. It is not a natural adoption of a piece of tech, it is very much being forced onto people and people don't like shit being forced onto them, and it's being forced on them because these companies are desperate to get people to adopt it after they've unloaded tens of billions into it. Fuck AI.

It's funny you mention that because Valve isn't keen on AI either and have added disclosures on games Steam pages that incorporate AI in some capcity.

This is from the upcoming Everybody's Golf Hot Shots

Something as miniscule as tree and leaf textures, Valve still felt was worth disclosing. Which I applaud them for.

Hell, Valve recently add benchmarking tools that shows what your actual framerate is and shows how many fake frames you have if you've enabled frame generation

Valve is going out their way to put everyone on blast lol

I do wonder if Sony timed this announcement after the layoffs to cover up some backlash they would receive from the hardcore console crowd, Lol. This would have been massive news if not for Xbox's layoffs yesterday.

Having said that, I'm mostly seeing positive vibes, the comments on the YouTube channel is PS users happy that Xbox users get to play.

Stuff like this.

There needs to be an ODST crossover.

Fine, if none of you are gonna pull Ryuu back from the edge .. 😮‍💨 I guess I will…

@Ryuu96 it’s time to take a step back sweetie and go offline for a little bit, this isn’t good for your mental wellbeing.
