Xbox coming back to Gamescom with "biggest booth yet" while PlayStation skips

Snooch2theBooch said:I bought a PS4 Pro in 2019 and have basically used it just for Sly Cooper Trilogy and Until Dawn. I have other games but I'm too into Xbox right now. Once I get the other exclusives done, I'll consider getting a PS5.

I honestly am not aware of many exclusives on the newest one...am I missing anything major? I don't play fighting games. Not to be crass, but it legit just feels like remasters. Like remastering Until Dawn is so goofy to me. Great game but what are we doing.

I guess Silent Hill 2 but it looked so bad at the recent showing imo.

Mr Peanutbubber said:You’re not wrong tbh that’s been a big problem with this gen in general I think. The only game that’s truly exclusive to the PS5 that I can think of right now is Final Fantasy 16. Even that’s getting a PC version somewhat soon.

"Biggest booth yet"

a bunch of live service games and wannabe MMOs..........

Geoff Keighley will still crown Sony the winner of Gamescom.

Probably going to be a bit of a deeper dive into what they've already showcased. Nothing to get hyped over.

Another W for Xbox

Cool

Where is Forza Horizon 6?

BulbAssured said:In my opinion, the 5 best upcoming 2024 games for the Series X are:

• Star Wars Outlaws
• Black Myth Wukong
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• Assassin’s Creed Shadows
• Blue Protocol

You are, undoubtedly, looking for a nice, cozy game. You’re in luck. The much-delayed Gori: Cuddly Carnage is going to be released in a couple of months.

The aforementioned Avowed looks promising so far as Xbox Game Studios doesn’t relegate it to the junior varsity. Elevated to the first string with versions on all platforms, it might give the top tier games a run for their money.

Square Enix had a booth at last year's Gamescom. Now that they have bluntly attributed the failure of FF VII: Rebirth and FF XVI meeting sales goals to a flawed policy of exclusivity and have officially renounced it, they'll need a booth twice as big to address all the new multi-platform ports of previously insular games.

Between their 2024 showcase, Gamescom, and COD, if Xbox doesn't close the gap with PS5 in terms of console sales this year, then nothing will do it.

Mr Peanutbubber said:Fair enough. But... God of War!! Now THAT is worth buying one! (I know everyone has their own preferences but that franchise is the biggest reason why I ever owned a PS3 through 5! Everything else was just gravy!)

BigTymer2047 said:Is Ragnarok only on PS5? I own the first one in PS4 and figured I should play it first.

I'll be honest, everyone tells me Last of Us is amazing (and I loved the pilot episode of the show) but holy is the game boring beyond belief. Maybe I should play it more but I have not enjoyed my time with it.

Mr Peanutbubber said:Ragnarok is indeed on both PS4 and PS5! Definitely worth a look!

TLoU is an outstanding experience! I understand it isn't for everyone and that's totally cool but, for me personally, it's S tier! I've owned and played every version of it and since my first time playing it on the PS3, I've done at least one run every year. And now I've added part 2 into the mix!

It's like the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott all over again.

Allgorhythm said:They made a Final Fantasy XVI? First I've heard of it.

Tozi Tiberius said:Because Final Fantasy XVI? is not on? Xbox? It's a Playstation exclusive game...Just like you may not of heard of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster? Because that game it's on Playstation and Nintendo Switch...

Tozi Tiberius you not knowing about Final Fantasy XVI? because it's not on your platform (Xbox) is quite sad... and hilarious at the same time ... I am just kidding...
Don't worry, Xbox players one day, those games will go to your system...One day, Square-Enix will port those games to your system...You just gotta be-lieve....

Tozi Tiberius said:PS5 exclusive--hopefully only timed.
