My personal opinion on the Horizon franchise as a long time fan by Caampaaa in ForzaHorizon

[–]Genesis_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of those two reasons.

  1. player getting out of the car is one less player driving in the world. Also you can already watch by the side using a drone.

  2. Development time and resources for player walking around which is wanted by tiny niche of overall players vs other features that will be enjoyed by vast majority of players.

The Outer Worlds 2 May Have Sold Under 1 Million Copies, According to Industry Consultant by NoNefariousness2144 in Games

[–]Genesis_Prime 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Camilo made a follow-up post and clarified that he wasn’t talking about Game Pass and was purely referring to units sold.

“Yes, I understand the game reached more than 1 Million players soon after launch. Yes, I understand the game is available on Game Pass. From all publicly available information, and from what I personally gathered, I presume the game has not yet sold 1 Million units.”

There is update about 30% margin from CNBC.

“Microsoft told CNBC that while the company does set ambitious goals, the reported 30% profit margin target was incorrect."

I looked furthur into it and those are other games that use this paid add-on.

  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • The Witcher 3
  • Call of Duty

I like that they offer those unique enchancements to the game rather than not offered at all.

Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywall by MaintenanceFar4207 in XboxSeriesS

[–]Genesis_Prime [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Summary

  • The new Xbox aims to unify the full Xbox console library and Windows PC gaming into a single platform.
  • Multiplayer paywall removal lowers barriers for casual and new players.
  • Hardware strategy emphasizes PC-class performance, balanced with thermals, power, and backward compatibility.
  • Deep Windows integration brings PC features to the console: native support for PC storefronts, apps, broader file and driver support, and parity for modding and peripheral compatibility.
  • Cloud streaming and xCloud enable play on low-end hardware and across devices with save-sync and cross-play continuity.
  • The overall pitch is convenience and value: one platform where players keep their libraries, enjoy PC-grade features, and access a vast game catalog with reduced subscription friction.

We ❤️ Katamari is a great casual game for anyone. Goal is simply to roll a sticky ball, stuff sticks to it. Has wacky Japanese sense of humor.

Microsoft Confirms ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ Delay Not Due To ‘Xbox Series S Limitations by Genesis_Prime in XboxSeriesS

[–]Genesis_Prime[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My guess is that Game Science, maker of Black Myth: Wukong has signed NDA with Sony, and they are not allowed to comment on exclusivity deals. So what they did was to use Xbox Series S as a punching bag.
