Xbox's Exclusivity Changes Aren't So Big After All - Next-Gen Console Watch
Ойындар
This week on Next-Gen Console Watch, Daemon is joined by Beyond's Max Scoville and Podcast Unlocked's Ryan McCaffrey as they break down the recent Xbox Business Update podcast. Rumors have been swirling that Microsoft will finally let major first-party Xbox games onto competing consoles, and Xbox's communication of their business plans have been lacking as of late. Will we get Halo on PlayStation 5? Sea of Thieves on Nintendo Switch? What about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, or Starfield? Plus we go over last week's poll, and have a brand new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.

Xbox owner here. I'm with Max on this, games like Grounded and Sea of Thieves, and even eventually State of Decay 2 are games that have been around for a while and 100% could use an influx of new players, especially if they could be cross-platform. Grounded is an amazing game and everyone should have the opportunity to give it a go.

Ryan made an article saying his world was falling apart with this news a couple of weeks ago. Completely ignoring any of that in this video. What a joke of a website.
Microsoft doesn't owe anyone anything. They are a company and expectations that they should have taken a more "defensive stance" is both extremely naive and also comes off as a finger point to excuse your coverage of incorrect information. Entitlement is such a widespread and fascinating mindset. How low this industry's has fallen.
People now turning on the media outlets who made a mountain out of a mole hill is hilarious.

Some Games used to be $60-$90 back in the snes and n64 days. Games were $50 for generations and $60 for generations. But AAA games are taking more resources, more time, more everything to make and yet cost the same. You’re telling me that a game like Baulders Gate 3 should cost the same as Tetrisphere? Games that you play for hundreds of hours vs 4 hrs back 20+ yrs ago? Games probably should vary depending on average completion time really but some games are too small for $70 and others are too big for $40

But once you open the door a crack, you keep pushing and pushing until it swings wide open. First get the community used to the idea of it, then you say “guys, we’re turning into sega and publishing only, by the way the next console is a digital only game pass focused machine”

The messaging on this was closer to putting out the fire right now but not addressing the core issue. It's just going to keep happening with the "wait and see" approach. Ryan is on point about the messaging stuff. But it's fair to point out that Phil didn't rule out Indiana Jones on PS5. Only that there are no plans right now.

Suddenly becomes a gaming crisis or the worst point in history. 3. Everyone realises it was actually nothing all this time. 4. Phase of moaning is over and everyone goes back to playing their games. 5. Repeat
There's no point in buying another next-gen console. Since I'm happy with the Xbox Series X and PS5?

Can't believe after all these years we still see outlets as big as IGN getting this wrong. Sony as a company doesn't own Spider-Man - Sony Pictures have the rights to Spider-Man movies. Marvel owns the character of Spider-Man and they allowed Insomniac games to make the Spider-Man games. Sony Interactive Entertainment owns Insomniac, and so they own those games. You still see Spider-Man the character pop up in other games like Lego Marvel, Ultimate Alliance etc (unless Sony throws a bunch of money at it like they did for the Crystal Dynamics Avengers game)

Very curious they scripted that podcast so closely and they said no Starfield or Indiana, but they didn’t say anything explicitly either way about other hallowed Xbox classic franchises like Halo, Gears, etc.
Sony owns Spider-Man’s movie rights, insomniac has a license for the games not Sony. Disney owns the rights for the games if I’m not mistaken. Sony owns insomniac but if they didn’t anymore insomniac would still have the licensing. Not 100 percent sure though
The funny thing is that this is small news. They basicly teased 2 new consoles. Or at least one. They said new hardware announment in the holiday season and they mentioned that the next generation leap will be the biggest. Also we don't know if the hardware will come out in the holiday season or if it will just be announced. They never said what games are coming to other platforms. Also they never said playstation. So everything's still up in the air.

Honestly; you lot are the only reason Microsoft and Xbox needed to come out and put on anything resembling a show about this. All of the sites, blogs & KZreadrs/streamers took A few out of context remarks, that were interpreted in bad faith and also relied on poorly sourced stories for clicks and you created a storm around relatively nothing.
Everything that was rumoured is planned to happen, but Xbox are just telling their fan base what they want to hear so that they don’t freak out. And if you don’t think that then you’re gullible AF!
They think they're saving face by blaming Microsoft for messaging when they, in the same breath of the conversation, say that the messaging is "a nature of the postion." Sony doesn't have this problem because they don't care. And not only do they not care, but due to their regulations, they don't have to care. People love to say, "If you think these companies (I'm speaking about Microsoft)care, you're wrong." Well, THEIR WRONG WITH THAT STATEMENT! Microsoft cares because Regulations affect their bottom line. That's why they didn't just close ABK as soon as it was available.
as a fan its what the hell. but from a business sence, its great. like said we could get more players on sea of thieves etc. What microsoft is doing is what is best for the industry and is getting ahead, very smart. but yes their marketing needs work. also why did you not mention what sony came out and said hours before the xbox podcast. they are going to become more aggressive with releasing on pc. this hints that microsoft is thinking ahead

@2:43 ...which is no different than what sony has been already been doing for the PC community with some of it's former exclusive titles; xbox fans really are kind of being blind to the fact that outside of early access for PS consoles on some titles, xbox users have been eating off a silver spoon of content and support imo compared to say sony has been for the PS community
one solution to the cost of development is to cut out the features nobody wants or asked for. the real problem is a lot of effort goes into making beautiful looking games that are not fun to play.
Let’s decrease the scale of games instead of introducing the idea of charging more.
To hear Xbox gamers say stuff like “well what’s PlayStation going to give US!!!!!!!?” Like bro….Microsoft isn’t YOUR company. Nor is it your business decision to make. You want Sony games buy a damn PlayStation. Stop being fan boys and play games. These companies don’t care for you. Enjoy gaming!!
