Do you agree that Xbox Game Studios has to show up with huge AAA games?
I disagree that PlayStation hasn’t always had quality. Due to the cd capability, they have always had great games from the start because developers wanted to take advantage of the memory capabilities. I’ve been into gaming history recently with the North American gaming crash of 1983 and the second console war with sega and Nintendo. When Sony joined the war, they had a similar understanding as Nintendo, they understood that great games beat hardware and are the best way forward. When Microsoft joined, they had halo which was huge, but they weren’t focused enough on quality of games and haven’t been ever since. What concerns me is that they are repeating the 1983 mistake and the Sega mistake by trying to combine power and quantity in order to override quality. It just doesn’t work, and it is never going to beat 5-10 genre defining games like Nintendo and PlayStation almost always do.
Yes I definitely agree xbox do need better games but I don't think what ever xbox produce the goal posts are always moved in fan boys eyes 🤔
I kinda feel like this "call out" was just plain stupid. He criticized just a bunch of Don Mattrick era games that started development under him. Meanwhile, we've already seen big name success with the late gen Xbox One titles under Phil Spencer's helm, such as Gear 5, Forza Horizons 3&4 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Absolutely no mention at all about these games that absolutely stand toe to toe with Sony exclusives. TL;DR: What the HELL is that clown talking about!? He just sounds like another "Xbox guy" that wants clout for posting anti-fanboy opinions. Opinions that always seemingly disappear when talking about the Sony, Nintendo and PC fanboys though. Like magic.
It's "id Software", not "ai dee Software".
I never agree more last of us , God of war and ghost of tshima those games feel like something special phil needs to get some of there teams to make games on this level , story , environment graphics single story games
Get the evil within team to make a tlou successor not copy but on that level , evil within is very good but it need better graphics , atmosphere and tighten that control
I love how every Zalker thumbnail is essentially the same lmao
Why M$ ain't get remedy to make a next Alan Wake and how bout that Ryse game smh Beth is a great look but they have some games man ! Me and Phil need a sit down
for M$ to impress me get BLACK MYTH , A NEW NINJA GAIDEN , ALAN WAKE 2022 , RYSE 2 TURN THAT SPARTACUS INTO A GOD WITH POWERS, THE EVIL WITHIN TEAM MAKE A RESIDENT/ TLOU KILLER THEY HAVE MULTIPLAYER LOCKED WITH HALO AND GEARS
Still playing division 2 love it after the next gen upgrade also dirt 5 and wreckfest
Gg
I agree Z. That the CGI is misleading and the games are over hyped. Gears n Halo are well polished and GGs but it's time for some mind blowing new stuff to get our hands on. After being bent o v r by EA and Call O Doody I feel a bit jaded. Battlefront 2 coulda been away better. But anyway when playing multiplayer titles I feel like there are alot of guys using that Chronus cheat HARDWARE. Which is sad but I'm gonna keep grinding it out.
I never understood the hype with state of decay? It just feels like yet another roughly thrown together early access survival game on steam.
I can't wait for xbox to drop the game pass app for PlayStation and vice versa for PS now on xbox, can you imagine the meltdown from the fanboy ranks. The console war don't exsist its just free marketing for them 😂🤣
Microsoft buyed Larian studio
All these quotes are from some mad pony. This "respected writer" is full of sh*t. Exclusives are a matter of preferece. And he just lost all credibility when he mentioned metacritic. Crazy how he does not mention Days Gone, Last Guardian, Driveclub, The Order and Knack metascores right? And proceeds to ignore Forza, Gears, sunset overdrive, quantum break…
After about 20 years of not owning an Xbox, I’ve decided to own one again. I think this is a pivotal moment for Microsoft and Xbox. I think the playing field in terms of hardware is almost level. For Microsoft to acquire a bunch of studios is a big step in the right direction. Even diving into an Xbox, I’ve decided to just get a Series S just in case Microsoft doesn’t deliver. I don’t want to take a big $500 plunge by getting the X. Game Pass is is DEFINITELY a moneymaker for Microsoft. I like the service a lot. So far Series has impressed me tremendously. I’m bullish on Microsoft delivering it for the next few years.
Nailed it Zalker…XB has a lot to live up to. Agreed we are still waiting for those franchises that are as memorable as Sony's. Let's hope this generation they prove they can make games that are memorable even 5 years on.
We need to stop assuming that bigger budgets and high quality always equal better games.
Its about the development tools, and with the rise of A.I machine learning we will see games with lesser budget but with the same high quality level of a AAA game.
I don´t see many publishers and journalists talking about the implications of machine learning A.I in game development especially for Indie developers having access to these tools.
If Microsoft is also working on A.I based graphics and A.I based animations and rigging etc etc, it will change the gaming industry dramatically..
Look at what Obsidion is utilizing here for voice dialogue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YajBa5PO1Hk Yes!, A.I voices.
Why are channels that cover news articles even relevant? Theres never any original secret reveals in these channels.
So, a Sony Fanboy Media Writer, thinks that Phil Spencer is going to allow: Fable, Halo Infinite, Avowed, inXile's New Rpg, State of Decay 3 & Hellblade 2 to come out half-baked? Of course PlayStation Fanboys & Xbox Haters wants the New Xbox Game Studios games to fail…Because the alternative means the END of Sony's exclusive dominance! 🤔😆 #Tears

The upcoming BAFTA Game Awards announced their nominations. Playstation studios received 41 nominations and Xbox received 6, only two games of which where made by Xbox studios, Mojang for Minecraft Dungeons and Rare for Sea of Thieves. The others were just published; Tell me why, Ori and Flight Simulator. Fall guys and Final Fantasy also got many nominations, both games have been exclusive to Playstation for ages, Sony seems to be getting everything right with first party and picks the perfect games to get deals with. Xbox need to do better, much better.
So I went from Xbox One to PS4 Pro then back to Xbox on the series's X and I have to say…. although I am impressed with the new hardware I do feel like it can be better.
I'm not a Fanboy of either, I just want console to be better.
I sure hope their other devs dont think they can get lazy now they have bethesda i would hope that’s not how anyone is actually thinking
I hope they make a SINGLE DECENT 3RD PERSON FANTASY RPG WITH GOOD LOOKING CHARACTERS.
Any game ad that has the disclaimer 'does not represent actual gameplay' from any platform or studio is a complete waste of time. Yet we still see them. Argh!
Microsoft is going to kill it this generation. The only problem is that Metacritic (clowns) will be biased against their games no matter if it’s a successful grand slam. Even as a former PS1-PS4 owner (even the failed Vita) it’s like Sony can do no wrong with Metacritic no matter how mediocre a game is, and It’s like illegal to rate a Microsoft game in the high 80s to lower 90s lol. This isn’t a conspiracy theory but a cold hard fact. Hell, I’m pretty sure Sony may actually be paying money behind the scenes to buy scores and to smear Microsoft games.
I play on both consoles, and XBox is still maintaining on the original XBox and 360 era. They’re in a similar position Sony was after PS2 where they rode that name and were lazy and PS3 struggled at first. Now we see a reversal. Where XBox is doing everything right and setting themselves up where the PS5 is having issues, not even delivering extra storage options yet which should be a basic, and the recent State of Play didn’t have much to show off. I think this gen will be interesting. But XBox needs more exclusives that are memorable. They have a current advantage as they did end of last gen where third party games at least will likely play better on XBox, with better resolution. As far as exclusives, Sony really only puts out a handful of these a gen, and there were less than 10 last gen. But they were top tier and memorable. If XBox can put out at least one triple A exclusive on tier with Sony a year, if not ideally 2 or 3 a year, they can come back and are positioned well to do so as they are being seen as a pro consumer system again and also have the power aspect again and had the more complete and competent console at launch with Sony again failing basics such as storage options or things like VRR still not being available. What I do not want to see them do is buy up these studios only to do timed exclusives or no exclusives at all. But unless there was a lot of money to be made and their console didn’t matter to them, this would defeat the purpose of buying these studios to compete. Also, XBox’s tech advantage seems to be moving forward as they said it would which is nice. The recent rollout of the FPS Boost tech is a back compat game changer. And DirectX ML is said to becoming to XBox as well, similar to Nividia’s DLSS, which has proved well on the PC side, and to which I do not think Sony has a response to. Anyway, I love both consoles and play on both. And usually prefer Sony for those memorable exclusives. But I do think XBox has a real shot this gen if they continue the way they are, and as long as they stick to what they even said, which was they plan on releasing 3 to 4 triple A titles a year. And they seem on track for this. Really interested to see what these consoles can do and how the gen goes.
Microsoft make a lot of money licencing Minecraft to nintendo and Sony, never thought I'd say this but maybe they shouldn't licence it no more. Minecraft is arguably one of the biggest oddities in gaming on how big it is, most downloaded game etc, if it's only available on Xbox and windows millions of young ps gamers will want the Xbox just to play Minecraft as most young gamers get consoles over pc(plus their parents ain't buying them no 2000dollar pc lol). Microsoft would make more money as the Xbox sales would for a brief period skyrocket the week Minecraft is an Xbox Windows exclusive. I don't like Minecraft at all, but I'm fully aware I'm in the very small minority
Let’s be real Xone was garbage for the entirety of 7 years.Bethesda titles are crap.Nothing Microsoft drops will compete with TLOU GOW etc etc.
Is Forza not the best Car game? Or what's with the Ori games I think these games can match up but that's not a lot
anyone ripping into any dev right now is clueless…. unless they lie and push out an unfinished game (hear me cd projekt?).
People simply dont understand how difficult game development has been this past 12 month.
I dont completely agree on what you said about quality…. what about forza v gran turismo??
when peoole talk abou great sony exclusives… they talk about the same 5 games…. every time
Single player games are dying out
Really don't care about petty competitions between Consoles
all i care is the future of true gaming, and them having a true Soul And quality to it
is curious how hardly care about any of this 'NEW' games that they suppose to be the reason of why you want to buy any of this consoles
all i care is that i can play some of my old games of the original XBOX i still have sitting at my shelves such NINJA GAIDEN BLACK, CASTLEVANIA CURSE OF DARKNESS or X-MEN LEGENDS 1,2 thanks to my SERIES X
which is a whole reason for me to feel respect for this console
but is the GAMES all what really matters
This is 1 of the very few vids where I am in complete disagreement with ya Zalk.
Each brand has its own halmarks and traits that work for "it". SONY has theirs just as much as Nintendo has theirs. And lets not all sit here BS'ing folks with that tired narrative that MS never had or done AAA games. Because "yes". Lets do mention Gears5 and ForzaMS/Horizon. They count just as much as mentioning PS's TLoU, GoW and HZD.
Yeah, I admit Forza is not as story heavy. Its still a formidable franchise that spans 2 successful titles that have grown into their own. And I play games. Not soap operas. Thats not a crack at sony's titles. As its what THEY do. And they found their place. Its just that I do agree that MS does needs to step it up. But NOT in regards to being a carbon copy of Sony!
No one drags Nintendo out into the light on this. Because we've all grown to realize that they still in their own way provide meaningful gaming experiences that are "them". XBox has that as well. Its just that we seem to have 1 too many folks looking over the fenceline getting envious only because the neighbors on the other side wont shut it. And because the media that favors said side wont keep their bias in check. Thus taking every chance they get to rub XB gamers faces into this whole "OH, MY GOTY GAME IS BETTER THAN YOURS".
Now, I do like a good story that hooks me. But I favor and enjoy solid, engaging gameplay more. and theres no harm in wanting to see them expand a bit more in a "few" titles that try it. But to ask that EVERY SINGLE THING they do from now on be a copy of what the other camp does. Kills what makes the brand them.
Yeah, I'd love to see a Zelda that gets a little more heavy on the story. As they do seem to just be the same thing as the previous ones before. But, its what makes them who they are. And as long as its good gameplay. Its a win to me.
Well, granted I dont play Nintendo games for other reasons. But, I digress.
Bottomline lets stop this "TRY TO BE MORE LIKE YOUR OLDER BROTHER" narrative and learn to appreciate just having solid games. Especially after the long drought of anything to play during last gen. If theres anything I will call MS out on is how lax they been at trying to get more Japanese devs on the platform when compared to the early 360 era. It almost just feels like they arent even trying unless its big names like Bandai, SEGA or Square. Who already kinda play a "hold out" strategy with them.
And with so much talent going free agent. And studios over there looking to go under or to be bought. Theres plenty of fresh new content they can bring to gamepass. Not just for us. But mainly for the ever expanding number of gamers over in that region. Because 1 thing I can say I've known about the Japanese is you gotta have some things that they relate to. You gotta keep them engaged. If they lose interest. Its a WRAP. And I'd hate to see MS ruin this before it really gets the wheels off the ground.
Jez Cordon is a SONY fanboy. He's the same clown that started the "XBOX SERIES X IZ OVERHEATING GUYZ!!!" lie online. He then got called out on it and claimed people "misunderstood" him. He's always on another podcast shitting on XBOX in a covert fashion. He's not only a SONY fanboy he's a coward. I don't take that clown seriously.
I didn’t even know Microsoft had a console, now that I’ve look into it I just see it as a system built for playing sports games and car games and maybe some FPS. It certainly is nowhere near on the level of a PlayStation. Power don’t mean Jack unless you’ve got the games. Most will buy PS and secretly hope Xbox get the games but I think it’s extremely unlikely.
Jez Corden is a known Sony Fanboy Shill, who happens be a Gaming Media Writer…He's been grilling Xbox for a LONG time (even grilled Xbox Game Pass in it's infancy.) He's in the same category as MBG & Crapgamer! 😂🤣 #NiceTry

They change the title from ALAN WAKE to ALAN WAIT.
I hope they take us back to the Xbox/Xbox 360 era because EXCLUSIVES wise, those two times they were at their peak In terms of exclusive games.
I think Halo infinite will be a huge success. Xbox def need some big exclusives that will pull gamers in
