Current Events » Square Enix announced all their games will be multiplatform now
it was pretty strange that they kept all their multimillion-dollar games on the console with the smallest install base

Now we just need them to, y'know, not shadowdrop their smaller titles against big-ticket items with no push at all. Lookin' at you, TWEWY

"We'll just throw it down on P5R day and maybe people will buy it" doesn't seem like a winning tactic
Variable General Veeg, at your service
Now the question is if theyll accept Epics bribe money or release on Steam day 1.

So ff pixel remaster on xbox?
Like it should have been xb1 and XS. I don't know what they were thinking. Every game I bought on Switch, I would have bought on Xbox. I like to double dip. TOR even how much I hate the changes, I would have bought it. The Saga games too. I would have Minstral song, RS2 and 3 instead of 2 different systems.

Xbox only gonna get part 3 of the FF7 remake? Lolz
No, probably the collection in a single release the same way that BioWare released the Mass Effect Trilogy eight months after ME3's release [in March 2012].

I miss the days of console exclusives. I don't blame SE here but the homogeneous libraries consoles have these days sucks. The console wars are dead and capitalism has killed them.

I mean, there are still first-party exclusives.

No, everything being identical is bad for gaming. Nothing takes advantage of anything unique anymore and the gaming industry is worse for it.

You can buy Lay's potato chips at hundreds, maybe thousands of retailers, not even counting individual locations of the same chain. Many of those also sell Pringles. This really isn't that different.

If you mean you want the physical machine to be different, you could always build your own PC to whatever specs you want.

The only thing unique about any of the three consoles right now is the Switch being portable (and underpowered)

Having different games on them just because muh uniqueness would be stupid.

Console exclusivity is anti-consumer. The industry will be in a better place when no exclusives at all exist

All the Japanese devs that used to be Playstation exclusive finally putting their games on PC during the mid/late PS4 era was a fantastic time. I don't want to buy a several hundred dollar machine just to play a few games, it's so wasteful.

Not as stupid as thinking Microsoft and Sony should make identical consoles with nearly identical libraries and offer nothing unique of value.

I want a reason to pick PS over Xbox or vice versa. These days there are none. Unless you just want consoles to go extinct so everyone will be forced to play on PC.

This is absolutely not true. If Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony didnt exist a lot of these developers and games would not exist.

The Steam store is borderline a mobile game territory with awful shovelware and free to play games. This is the future 10x if we didnt have Sony and Nintendo pushing out big budget quality games.

Put PC people are too dense to realize this.

I know pc gaming isn't big on gamefaqs, but steam has a ton of pc exclusive games that consoles never get. Like hardcore strategy games. The Total War series is a good one that has never been on a console. It's not just console game ports and mobile games
They're about 20 years too late.

Oops didn't realize I was arguing with a PC fanboy operating in bad faith. My mistake.
dude I don't give a fuck if consoles exist, I think they should continue to be sold as a lower entry price point to gaming

there is absolutely zero reason for games to be stuck on one box vs another when they run the exact same fuckin type of hardware

The fact that they're the same hardware is the whole fucking problem. PS and Xbox should be different from each other. Not a couple of twin consoles with no fucking differences between them whatsoever.

There's a lot of shovelware, but:

1. There's a silver lining to that because an indie can sign up and distribute for peanuts, without needing a devkit besides their own PC.

2. You can just ignore it. There are plenty of not-shovelware games. Including many of the same ones you traditionally find on consoles.

Square-Enix thinks every game they make should sell like FF7 sold. Sorry guys, it just isn't gonna happen.

But only because they have the money to fund such things. They don't have to exist for the budget to exist in some other form.

-There are more big budget games on PC than there are from Sony and Nintendo combined.
-Steam has algorithms and a filter system for finding what you're interested in without going through the chaff.
-Shitty mobile ports are all over consoles too, and I don't know about current PS or XB stores, but the NS store is barely even functional. Slow scrolling, inefficient layout, memory leaking, barebones filter system, frontloaded with crappy mobage on sale constantly.

Put PC people are too dense to realize this.
It's fine to have an emotional attachment to things, but your arguments are just flat out lies.

Honestly the entire publishing industry has been struggling with this concept, but JRPGs selling like hotcakes on PC probably made them realize that this console exclusive shit was not the most profitable way to do things.

They probably should have figured this out a decade ago... and even that would have been late. I honestly think they didn't change sooner because they were ashamed at how they were taking the piss on obvious revenue streams for so long.

Ignorant statement bolded. The Steam Store has been a huge boon to indie and hobbyist developers to make names for themselves. The things Steam offers pretty much for free are unmatched.

Don't try to act like shovelware doesn't exist on console storefronts because it 100% does.
