Jez Corden: "Xbox fans rally against Shift Up for 'Stellar Blade' — which is now exclusively NOT on Xbox Series X|S"

You were wrong, just accept your L.
Everyone does it, you're pretending this is uniquely a Sony thing.

Fuck Xbox. The stupid Xbox Series S holds games back, just as having switch ports does.
That's why games should either be released on PC or PS5 first, then if they want to port it to the gimped consoles (Xbox and Switch), they can do so afterwards.

First page, Neo Member.
I put the important word in bold to help you.
So, to further help you, this means taking away something people previously had or were meant to have.

'These types of experiences tend to do well on Xbox, given its audience's mature-skewing preferences'
BAHAHA Yeah no they dont. Hence why majority of sales for games like Devil May Cry, Sekiro, MGR etc etc are on Playstation and PC. Xbox is and always has been borderline irrelevant for these kinds of games.

Wrong. Stellar Blade was passed by MANY publishers, Sony was the ONLY ONE interested. So no, they didnt take away something people were meant to have, THEY ENSURED we got it at all. Fr…

Nope. It was announced as a multiplatform title initially, so they had already planned for this. Read the topic.

I have and its still wrong. It was PLANNED to be a multiplat game but as per Shift Up themselves, ALL PUBLISHERS PASSED until Sony picked it up. So no, Sony did not rob Xbox of a game, THEY ENSURED IT RELEASED AT ALL. So READ yourself and comprehend, let me make it simple for you, No Sony, No game.

Lol, Microsoft literally bought Bethesda and tried to pull their games from PlayStation. Your definition applies to almost every platform holder, not just Sony. Either you don't understand that, or you're pretending not to.

This game will be coming out in late 2028, and by then who gives a shit if it on the Series? It'll be on Helix, and it will then look like the trailer. On Series? PS5? Even PS5 Pro? No gracias.

You don't announce a game when you are not confident that you can release it.
Are we seriously comparing buying studios to paying to block games from being released on the competition ? Should we start counting every acquisition in video-game history as an attempt to block games ? And games weren't even canceled on PS. What a dumb argument.

At least Warcraft was completely finished iirc, and among the others some had very impressive, but basically bullshots-trailers.

At the time of announcement, they were obviously confident they could deliver the game. This is common sense.

We're gonna make it, Xbros.Just have enough faith!
I do feel there is still bad blood between shift up and msbox. Shift up still angry for project eve was left behind by Msbox. And as we all know this stupid woke and dei policy of xbox which is much worse than sony. Its possible even for SB blood rain, it will stay the same, just PS, PC and Nintendo. The wounds possibly run deep inside shift up.

After the layoffs MS should have some freed up capital to commission a port.

Out of despair, he started listing every game that was released on Xbox first, pretending MS had paid for some kind of exclusivity deal.

You are suggesting MS didn't fund or pay for exclusivity for those games and dlc?

I want Stellar Blade and Bloodrain on Xbox but also I don't want Xbox fans blaming the devs due to some conspiracy theory. Let them know on X and you will get the game this time. I suspect it is already in the works. Shift up are good at monitoring fan requests. If you approach them with sincerity rather than hatred you will get this game.
cireza

It's up to you to prove it, you listed the games.
The PS3 wasn't even released in Europe when Lost Planet and Dead Rising were released on 360 lol. It didn't occur to you that maybe games were released later on PS3 because the console was released later on top of being a bit poop to develop on ?

Bro begging for it when statistically he won't buy it if it releases lol. It'll be "why the fuck isn't it on Gamepass?"
Not my list. But we know Microsoft paid $50 million for the gta 4 dlc ($25 million per episode).

"We just need time"
I'll buy it again no problem, enjoyed it on PS5, good game or might just get Switch 2 version instead

Oh, so they are going to port it?
Good! So glad and hopefully Jez can stop throwing around accusations about Sony moneyhatting. Those aren't needed anymore, Xbox has exclusives too and in most cases like this one Sony probably isn't moneyhatting.
Xbox fans(like myself, I like all consoles and PC) must understand the series s parity clause and the lack of MS technical assistance for devs and the userbase size gives Sony a competitive advantage when it comes to getting ports quickly. It does not necessarily mean there was a backroom deal to elbow out Xbox and devs are getting blamed unfairly.
This is an underrated post, lol. <3Is port begging against the law?

Maybe then there would be enough Xbox's in the wild. Possibly expanded into Korea.We just need time for the three year clause to pass......
They might even purchase games again.

It's possible that this is the case, but perhaps they announce it when they give the S2 version a concrete release date, just like SE did with FF7R. Not getting my hopes up on that though.We just need time for the three year clause to pass......

Stellar Blade should remain exclusive to stop more women from being killed.
What if something were to happen to our Queen, Jez! Did you think about that?

Good job, you managed to explain the single game we already knew was an actual paid exclusivity for a multiplat series. It was announced as such and then released 1 year later on PS.
Also pretty funny to pick Tomb Raider as a synonym of PS when it started its life on Saturn, until PS privatized the series on PS1 lol.
How about Lost Planet, Bomberman Act Zero, Culdcept and whatever other stuff some of you guys came up with ?
Same here. We already know that it was paid DLC exclusivity, it was announced as such, and got released 1 year after.
How is this comparable to blocking FF VII up to XII for 20 years on Xbox and Nintendo ?
How is it comparable to FF VII Remake being locked for years on PS ?
How is it comparable to FF XVI being locked on PS, and voluntary announced ambiguously as a complete PS console exclusive ?
How is it comparable to having Tomb Raider II which was in active development on Saturn canceled to make it PS1 exclusive ?
How is it comparable to Street Fighter V being a complete PS exclusive while IV was multiplatform and highly successful on other platforms ?
How is it comparable to making Stellar Blade, a game that was announced as multiplatform from the very beginning, going PS exclusive ?
Short answer is : it's not comparable.

Jez is probably busy cleaning the jizz from his room after queen Asha forced Shift Up to port the game with her superpowers.

GTA : paid, we knew it
Bioshock : doesn't state it was paid, it was an early game, PS3 released later and it was poop to develop for, doesn't sound unbelievable to release first on Xbox
Tomb Raider : paid, we knew it
Tales of : paid it seems, although the source is a facebook message lol
Star Ocean : no mention that it was paid
Titanfall : it was never announced on PS to begin with
Dead Rising 3 : no mention that it was paid
Not super convincing overall. We can maybe add Dead Rising 3 to the list of multiplats that were "stolen" from competition, but even though, this is a baby's list (2 games and 2 DLCs for one game) compared to all the stuff Sony did. If we start counting stuff like Dead Rising 3, then we might as well count games like Soul Calibur 3. But if we go this route, the list of PS multiplats "stolen from competition" is going to sky rocket.

Awesome.
Just what I thought.
Conspiracy theories are not a good look everyone. Wait and see sometimes pays off bigtime. It didn't even take long.
