It’s had very little coverage and I was wondering if GC were aware of it and if they would be reviewing it. I hadn’t heard of it, to be honest, but it’s actually rather good, similar in style to the Little Nightmare games only inspired by Nordic folk tales. I’ve just picked up a game that was only released last week called Bramble: King Of The Mountain, following the recommendation of a friend. Maybe if they tried to release some great games, they wouldn’t be in third place… If Xbox was performing like a solid console platform right now, they’d be getting more money from me and likely secure my place in whatever next generation. Horizon? Ghost Of Tsushima? Days Gone? Another The Last Of Us remake?! I really don’t care for these games. I’m a Sony fanboy at heart but an awful lot of what Sony is making right now I’m disillusioned with.
COMIC LIFE DEMO PORTABLE
Everyone backed the PSP in the portable race against the DS before release, yet Nintendo made much more appealing and innovative games and look at how much that thing sold.įor the first time in my life, I’m in a very privileged position to be able to have all three current consoles under my TV. Xbox 360 made huge ground up until around 2010 because they had some of the best games (and ports). PlayStation 1 and 2 were miles ahead of the competition because they had all the games. Ignoring the absurdity of such a statement from a video game manufacturer and publisher, isn’t history filled with examples that entirely contradict that? I’m talking specifically around the point made that releasing great games won’t turn their business around. On the other hand, I can’t help but think Spencer’s comments have left the userbase feeling completely deflated. On one hand, it’s great to have a company own up to their shortcomings. I can see GC have already expressed the same sentiment that I feel. Oh my, that Phil Spencer interview was something else! We’ve all seen companies try to put out PR fires before, but this seemed to strangely go beyond that. He probably imagines, and may well be right, that the weaker Microsoft looks as a first party publisher the better it helps their case. GC: Everything he was saying was still focused squarely on the acquisition.
Now, I would have thought that applied to most people who buy video game consoles? What else does Microsoft think people buy them for? Are digital libraries and the like really seen to be so important? He knows more than me about the market clearly, but I’d be really surprised if they start releasing exclusive games of similar quality to Nintendo and Sony, and that didn’t lead to many millions more Xboxes being sold (and Game Pass subscriptions along with them!)
COMIC LIFE DEMO SERIES
Perhaps I really am in the minority here, but if Starfield does turn out to be an 11 out of 10, personally I will go out and buy an Xbox Series X, and if it’s a 7 or 8 out of 10 I will make do with my Switch and PlayStation 5.
His comments about console share not necessarily changing depending on the quality of games was quite bizarre and surprising though. If Xbox had more games people wanted to play that they couldn’t play anywhere else, it would be selling a lot more.įascinating interview with Phil Spencer about Redfall yesterday. Netflix initially increased its subscriber base, in part, as a result of their original programming that was ‘must watch’ at the time. Maybe the apparent failure of Redfall will lead to Dishonored 3, something that could convince me to stump up for an Xbox (even if I sold it after playing the game).
