Gonna take a pic of it and send it to Mike, with a caption saying "RE4R and SF6 money went into this one"

I genuinely feel sorry for the Xbox only crowd (you’re basically this gens Wii U only users) as when MS was playing pretend with the Acti deal Sony was very likely landing some colossus exclusive deals. Some of you are gonna need to be checked on regularly after Wednesday. Gonna be rough.

Yeah, it's not going to be a fun day for those of us who don't have a PS5 yet, like myself, I'm waiting on a PS5 Slim which appears to be at least 2 years away currently (only the detachable disc drive big PS5, PS5 cloud handheld, and PS5 Pro seem to be releasing in 2023 and 2024 according to Tom Henderson's leaks). We've already heard that Sony has Persona 6 as a timed hat, fearful they will at least one other AAA 3rd party hat on their show, like Bioshock 4.

Idk how much you have to worry about Bioshock 4 lol 

Out of curiosity, what is everyone hoping to see at the Xbox Showcase that would make you personally feel like the showcase is a success? Like once it’s over, you’re feeling good about Xbox’s future.

As a bonus, what do you specifically want to see during the Starfield Direct that will make you stoked for Starfield’s release?

I very much doubt we are getting anything exclusive from Japan, maybe that Kojima game. But definitely no acquisitions lol.
Best we can hope for in Japan in port parity and late ports as of now sadly. Would love if Tango was working on something JRPG wise. MS would own a JRPG studio

I find the Square Enix hate to be a bit laughably exaggerated. Compared to XGS, they've quietly released several hidden gems over the last year or so. All of them with physical releases and smart delivery too. And even threw a bone with a same-day release of the Crisis Core remaster, which was both designed and optimised well across all systems.

This thread will bend over backwards to find any nuggets of reason for why Redfall isn't a complete waste of time. Well using that logic, look past the scores of games like DioField Chronicles and Star Ocean: The Divine Force and actually read the reviews and player feedback for them.

Even something like Stranger of Paradise had wildly mixed reviews, with a lot of people really selling the game as much more fun than expected. Worth trying, especially when every version should easily be findable in your nearest bargain bin right now.


If they were to announce Final Fantasy VII Remake finally making it's way over, how would this thread even react? Just grumble that it's 2 years later than PS5 and 3 years later than PS4? Meanwhile continue to have endless patience and tolerance for XGS for a second straight gen.

Personally, I would be happy, but only if it was day one Gamepass, or if not day one gamepass, cheaper on release, like $40 at most. Ain't no way I'd let Square get away with charging $70 for a 3 year late Xbox release. When Square Enix's Nier Automata got it's late Xbox release it did come in cheaper than the original PS4 release, at $50 on Xbox at launch compared to $60 on PS4 at launch, which wasn't a big savings but it was day one Gamepass so it balanced out. So hopefully if it does finally come to Xbox it is either day one Gamepass or significantly cheaper on release than the PS5 version at $70.
