What are you even talking about, reread what you initially quoted, this time read it properly.

If Microsoft is serious about seeing if their games will sell on PlayStation-they are going to have to offer HellBlade 2, Indiana Jones, or Starfield!

We are getting something related to Gears this summer, could be a double announcement.

I actually already played the game back when I still had 360, I just want to play it again on my PS5 with improve performance.
That game had performance issue especially when it used split screen cutscenes.

Playing on either of the new xboxes fixes those issues, also helps eliminate the long loads the game had for fights (on disc at least, the Xbox NXE installs back in the day helped remedy this a lot too)

I don’t have Xbox X or S, that’s why I’m hoping for PS5 release.

So MS is porting hi fi rush and Sea of Thieves to PS, and now it’s a foregone conclusion that every one of their games will be day one on PS. But Sony who has ported nearly every one of their games to PC, just released a hugely popular and profitable PC game the same day as ps5, and has their CEO out there talking about PC as a growth opportunity will never do day one.

and I remember reading here a lot of controversy around the letterbox for the order. (a lot of people didn't even understand it) it's going to be interesting to see the discourse when the game comes out.

I know one of you didn’t just try to spin your BS into my inbox... Come on bro, that’s a sad, weak ass, attempt to externalize your Gaf console war issues 
. It’s one thing to try to stir the pot on a thread, we can talk about it and discuss, but it’s a whole different ball game if you try to come at me through a private message.
I keep receipts (and direct messages)

Only mid-tier games will go to PS5 or MP focused games like Grounded, Sea of Thieves. You won't see any big game like Indiana Jones showing up........maybe in a year or two.....but definitely not launch day. Sony fanboys would still cry about paying $70 for Indiana Jones a year later though.....when it's free on Game Pass.

They are coming. Anyone that thinks MS is only porting these niche games to Playstation and Switch is lying to themselves.
The bigger games will come eventually.

It's Microsoft's own policy, not enforced on them.

I had read somewhere that this was part of the conditions of the sale of Mojang. Could be wrong though.

I have read the same but only here, have asked a few users who have said this before if there is any source for it. I, personally, haven't found anything on google that verifies this in an official capacity.

Microsoft's games weren't pushing xbox hardware sales, why does anyone think there is major demand for them on PlayStation?
There are some games that I think would sell just based on the PlayStation userbase, but it depends on price and what else is available at the time.
Microsoft released games at the same time that a bunch of other games have been released. It's really bad timing to release games that people were already not that interested in in the first place.
Like HiFi Rush might sell at 5-10 bucks, but can't imagine much interest at 30. Anyone who really wanted it got it on PC or Xbox already. The game has been as cheap as 20 USD on steam. Probably would have been better off as a PS+ title. Pentiment and Grounded had no chance and I haven't seen a ton of interest in Sea of Thieves.
The only game that could have had less interest would have been Redfall.

I can't remember the post that was the basis for it, but it seemed like they backed it up. It was during all the ABK debate stuff. Too long ago to try and find it so not going to push it as factual or anything.

Phil Spencer pretty much confirmed that all their games are on the table after at least a year.

Microsoft has a history of this. They announced going PC and now it's day and date, done fairly quickly. Microsoft also doesn't have the luxury of avoiding third party status at this point given the situation Xbox finds itself in with the marketplace.
Sony has been very clear about their plans with PC - day and date for Live Service (like Helldivers 2), later for single player games. They don't want to stress their teams with having to support multiple platforms at once and they want to give their console ecosystem priority. Sony could change strategy, but that doesn't appear to be the case given that games are taking about as long as we expect them to - over 2 years generally. Maybe they hasten this pace and reduce it to a year or so, but day and date does nothing for them. Microsoft had no choice otherwise to avoid PC, and now they can't avoid PS5.

I agree Sony isn’t gonna day and date PC in the next few years but I think it will happen down the road. That was really just an exercise in pointing out how fanboy logic is retardedly inconsistent.
MS - “we are porting 4 games to Sony and Nintendo, no Starfield or Indy”
Sony fanboy - “everything from Ms will be day and date on PlayStation”
Sony CEO - “these games aren’t profitable enough and we need to expand our PC presence. Also we bought Nixxes and are already porting everything anyway.”
Sony fanboy - “day and date will never happen because…. well just because!”

It's been hilarious watching people make an accusation of future plans for Microsoft based on conjecture, but refuse to apply that same logic towards Sony.

Their interim CEO literally said they'll expand operations on PC earlier this year, too. And as per Mat (before he deleted the tweet for getting incessant barrages over twitter for reporting it, I guess), the Steam playerbase was higher on Helldivers 2.

Yeah, some people here are weird. Sea of Thieves is the reason why Rare is still alive and actually one of the few stories of a Microsoft-made live-service game that is successful.You think Sea of Thieves is a niche title?
James Sawyer Ford

“PC fanboy” everything is going day and date
Sony CEO also said the ecosystem was a delicate balance, I.e., no day and date.
As long as Sony’s console is strong, unlike Microsoft, there’s no need for day and date.

Helldivers 2 is live service, and they have already stated why those games are day and date because they depend on the viral effect of the largest audience day one

And do you honestly think them seeing the success will not bleed into their other projects *at all* ?

Simple question. Are small passion projects going to continue or are they dead?
James Sawyer Ford

I don’t. Because the success of SP is just deferred. They get the most out of their console years first, let the devs only worry about optimizing for PS5, then get their their studio like Nixxes to do the rest.
Live service, especially unknown ip, is really dependent on day 1 traction

It's not really port-begging to smugpost about ports that are already happening tbh.
Like it can be annoying yes, but they're two different things.

But none of the ports mentioned in the OP are « already happening », it’s a simple fact.
I don’t even want to know what kind of mental backflip is required to call it anything other than port begging.

The title of the topic is part of the OP. Regardless, what a weird thing to be pedantic about lol 'it's not in the post, just the title of the post'
You should be tarred and feathered for justifying smugposting in the first place
Secondly, as
Chukhopops
mentioned, none of the games OP is asking for are 'already happening', which makes this a port-beg. Nah, the incessant port begging is definitely worse than telling people off for doing that.

They're all happening, this is like whenever someone thinks Sony is gonna be super selective in porting things over to PC.
You don't open a genie's bottle without being prepared to go all the way, because otherwise you get the negatives of all outcomes at once (brand erosion + no port sales).

That's just absurd. OP is suggesting that the current four games are not the best indicators of how well MS games would do on PlayStation and you and others turn to this knee jerk "port begging" cry when it isn't that at all. You are mischaracterizing the OP by saying the OP is "asking for" anything. He isn't. Suggesting that such a test for determining success would be better conducted using a different specific set of games is not port begging.
