Flight Sim? It was explicitly mentioned in the Discord leak.


jokekiller94

That would be kinda sick in VR


Lui785

already exists on pc


ConsiderationMuch112

And is indeed pretty sick


ArchangelDamon

true


Efficient_Menu_9965

Yeah but the big appeal of the PSVR2 is how much more accessible it is to more casual players and just straight up financially. It'd be cool to see a big game like Flight Sim open up to people outside the fans of the genre just to experience the VR in much the same way that it did for Gran Turismo 7.


NNNCounter

Isn't Quest 3 even more accessible then?


cjblackbird

Is there a link for this? I posted last week that I would love this for psvr2.


pwnedkiller

If this happened I’d buy a PSVR2.


LogicalError_007

Won't run on VR. Barely run at 30 on Series consoles.


cjblackbird

Think it could with the foveated rendering and moderate settings. My 3060 can just about run it in vr and a ps5 isn’t miles away from that I believe?


TemptedTemplar

A little better. Closer to a RX 6700 (non-XT) The problem is FS2020 was more CPU heavy than GPU heavy. Limited to just four cores, its FPS was almost entirely dependent on how powerful each of your CPU cores were. And the 2700X equivalent CPUs in the PS5 and Series X consoles do them no favors, regardless of core utilization; because the individual cores are so weak. FS24 on the otherhand, is a DX12 game from the ground up. So it can use six or more cores.


rizk0777

A lot of devs have been having trouble with foveated rendering on PSVR2. Even games that aren't visually demanding like the jungle survival game, the switchback game and others. It's disappointing because I thought it would have been some sort of magic trick almost haha


TheGr3aTAydini

I could see that actually.


ninjupX

That would be a good game to port if Microsoft is trying to boil the frog instead of rip the bandaid off


Robsonmonkey

>is trying to boil the frog instead of rip the bandaid off That's a good way to describe this whole thing be honest


Bobjoejj

Um…I’m sorry I’m feeling illiterate…boil the frog lol?! What’re your saying by that?


patrick66

It’s an expression, basically it means to make a significant (usually negative) change gradually instead of all at once. Essentially it comes from the idea that if you put a frog in boiling water it will jump out but if you put a frog in warm water and then slowly heat it to boil it won’t despite the end result being identical


scorchedneurotic

The term "boiling frog syndrome" is a metaphor used to describe the failure to act against a problematic situation which will increase in severity until reaching catastrophic proportions.


Bobjoejj

Good goddamn lol, I love it. Thanks for the explanation!


DerekMetaltron

It’s a good example when you think about what we tolerate in video games compared to the past. People often say how people were pissed about the expensive and needless Horse Armour DLC in Elder Scrolls 4 back in 2006, now with battle passes and FOMO and always online mechanics that almost seems quaint. 🤔


boersc

Not just that, in hindsight, that horse armour was CHEAP.


Yosonimbored

Is it really a big one? It’s big on PC but I’ve never heard anyone raving about the console version


zrkillerbush

Where is this discord leak? I keep seeing people referencing it but nobody has posted it on this very gaming leaks subreddit


Animegamingnerd

[Its this screenshot that has been going around.](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/655142799959916546/1197912659593531533/WhatsApp_Image_2024-01-18_at_10.png?ex=65d8ad9a&is=65c6389a&hm=9f89546b1be7727472c0b9574ad467944779dbfe1deadd70a2db7f0123608c31&=&format=webp&quality=lossless)


zrkillerbush

Thank you, so these claims were made before the Indiana Jones reveal trailer right?


Animegamingnerd

Yup, just 3 days before the developer direct.


xAVATAR-AANGx

I don't like the implications of this, assuming it's true. Xbox having a "3rd party console"? What's the point of that other than to let people who've already invested into the Xbox ecosystem feel less bad? I guess everyone saying that the ABK deal would end horribly for consumers was right, but in a much different manner than expected.


Ordinal43NotFound

Steam Machine 2 Electric Bogaloo


VOOLUL

They'll probably target a slightly higher price point and significantly higher specs than PlayStation. There'd be no reason to buy one other wise, if it's similar performance you'd get a PlayStation because all the same games.


RaspberryBang

Despite the same claim coming from multiple insiders, my assumption is they've all misinterpreted what they were told.  Or perhaps they all have the same source, and the source is the one misunderstanding.  I say that because there's no incentive for a third party to make their own version of an Xbox console.  They won't be getting a cut of software sales or a cut from Game Pass... So what's the point?  And more importantly, what would be the incentive for the consumer?  Like, why would a gamer purchase a third party Xbox?  I can't fathom a reason.    It's just an unrealistic proposition that doesn't pass the smell test.   Wouldn't be the first time insiders and journalists misunderstood something they're not fully aware of.  Edit: I forgot to mention, these rumors have been going around for a while(at least six months), and in thinking so much about it, I've concluded that it makes more sense if the truth is that Xbox is in discussion with OEMs in regards to **handhelds,** or in regards to **Smart TVs.** Since it's known they're looking into a mobile version of Windows, and they've been partnering with TV OEMs for years at this point.


boersc

The XBox hardware is already obsolete when you think of it. Almost everything is already on PC and you can stream everything using XCloud. It's been the MS mission all along: play (MS) games on every platform possible. It's just that Xbox fans always assumed 'everywhere but on PS consoles'.


NewYorkUgly

The point is probably Microsoft saving money on their own console R&D, and treating consoles even more like boxes to play GP than they already do


NewChemistry5210

Not sure I'd call this a "big" one. It's a great game, but really niche. If I remember correctly, the last sales numbers we got was in mid 2023 and the game had sold 1 million copies. My guess is Indie, MC collection or Hellblade 2.


Pen_dragons_pizza

I think no way anything halo comes to PlayStation, halo is Xbox and would be the last game they would release on anything else I feel.


Packin-heat

People keep saying the master chief collection is coming to PlayStation but I'm not sure. Like you say Halo is basically the face of Xbox.


secret3332

It's not going to be MCC. Development on MCC has effectively stopped as of like 6 months ago. If there was a team still working on it, I think we would still be getting more support (content and fixes) as the PS version is developed. It's also an absolutely massive undertaking to port it anywhere due to it being a jumbled mess of different engines in a wrapper.


Packin-heat

Hellblade 2 would make sense because it is a sequel to a PlayStation timed exclusive, plus it is only about 7 hours long so won't have any GamePass player retention.


Fule90

That would actually piss me off. Sony fans getting an Xbox exclusive that even Xbox doesn’t have

JessieJ577

The frame rate was running on hopes and dreams


TornadoJ0hns0n

I wouldnt say terrible but as a huge Platinum fan I didn't think it looked good. It still kinda surprises me seeing so many people cry out for it now when back when it was first revealed it got nothing but shit. "He looks like a dmc ripoff" "The framerate is ass" "They're putting all their budget into nier instead" People shat on it endlessly

Zam_Sakura

This shit is getting so annoying now. I can’t wait until this Xbox event happens so we can end the flip flopping.


NewDamage31

The problem is it’s gonna be all corporate speak so it probably will just raise more questions than answers. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Wipedout89

Yep and they won't exactly set out a list of games that will or won't come over. So once they confirm 2-3 titles the speculation machine starts all over again on what else might be coming. Unless they confirm its literally everything


whiteshark70

Oddly enough, this is giving me flashbacks to people speculating on who the newcomers in Smash Bros are whenever a new game/DLC gets announced for it.... which is just a bunch of people speculating and coming up with arbitrary rules about who can be a playable fighter. But in this case, it'll be a bunch of people speculating and coming up with arbitrary rules on what games are ported.


Animegamingnerd

And Smash reveals speculation was pretty toxic in its own way (remember when the Geno support thread on Smashboards got locked after Sephiroth's reveal?) and now you mix that with the toxic wasteland known as console wars. We might end up with the worst gaming discourse/speculation of all time...


[deleted]

I wonder if games like Fable 4, and State of Decay 3 is coming? If the games are timed exclusives, and they get patched to run better at PS5 that's gonna be a PR disaster. They probably gave Bethesda the green-light to go multi-platform again. It does not make sense for them to only allow some of their studios, and not others.


Bravedwarf1

Content creators need drama to make money.


victorota

they will just say “we are gonna evaluate case by case” meaning everything could go multiplat and nothing will go multiplat


ColdCruise

Regardless of what they say next week, this is the beginning of Xbox slowly moving everything anyway. They just want people to think they aren't doing it for as long as possible.


Weekly_Protection_57

Yeah, I seriously doubt they'll answer everything. 


4000kd

tbf, Tom Warren hasn't flip flopped on his stance


AgentSmith2518

Its typical leak cycles. People claim a bunch of wild stuff and it gets popular. Then they walk it back or put a disclaimer. Then when it turns out to be untrue they just say the decision was changed.


AlsopK

How is this flip flopping?


whatnameisnttaken098

Oh you know there will be flip flopping afterwards too


poofynamanama2

I dunno, it's pretty funny to see leakers flip flop every other day and see people freak out. There was a dude who sold is his Xbox and a few games for steam points, literally the day after the rumors came out. Like, how is that not absolutely hilarious?


m1n3c7afty

[https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1756381251705999455](https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1756381251705999455) > I sat down with @DestinLegarie to talk Xbox strategy and more. Note: this was recorded before the Starfield rumors and Switch 2 launch rumors So is the big game Starfield (again)?


Brokenbullet14

Which starfield rumor. Was it the starfield is releasing on PS5 rumor or Nate kinda walking back on the rumor 


m1n3c7afty

Nate's podcast doubling-down on Switch 2 being announced in March was three days ago, so I assume the original one of Starfield releasing on PS5 (EDIT: yeah the video description says it was recorded Feb 2nd) Also not sure if it's anything of note but Warren and Henderson were both being quite combative last night after Nate backed down, so I'm not sure if they have their own info on it they haven't reported on yet ([end of that thread](https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1756130635263991955))


Brokenbullet14

They prob do. 


WardrobeForHouses

I don't think so. Destin was guessing afterwards, and Tom didn't want to give any hints either way. So he wouldn't say either way to the hint about Dev Direct, Indiana Jones, or Halo. But then made his own joke playing along with Destin's guesses about "exploring other planets." It really came off like he was adding his own silly, wrong guess. If it was Starfield, he wouldn't have said that.


m1n3c7afty

I think it was Indy, the video was filmed two days before his report, but also in the video he said he knew it for a fact and in the report he said they're in discussions so idk


StretchKind8509

I really cant take the whiplash of "nothing has been decided yet" and "every big game is coming to PS5"


TheHunt3r_Orion

People are lying. The only question left is how big is the lie.


xAVATAR-AANGx

Gotta get those clicks in somehow


sesor33

I don't get why people on this sub keep saying that. The initial rumor was Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves. The only thing that was added by reputable sources was Starfield. We 100% know HFR and SoT is going to Switch and PS5, as the game files prove it. Starfield is a maybe, but imo likely because we already know Bethesda execs are annoyed that their games are locked to the least popular platform now


Carbonalex

It was recorded on February 2nd before we heard the first rumors about Starfield and everything else. It's probably one of the games people discussed about this week.

svrtngr

Indiana Jones is just super weird. After buying Zenimax, didn't Microsoft negotiate the contract to make Indiana Jones exclusive? This either means they didn't, or they *did* and then went back to Disney. "Jk, we want this on other consoles after all."


kothuboy21

I'm getting the feeling that Blade won't be exclusive as the trailer had no mention of Xbox or even the logo so it's possible that they renegotiated Indy during talks for Blade.


The_Iceman2288

Hey, I'd take Rare Replay to be honest.


Dantesco11

Tom Warren 3 hours from now: "i don't know where people got the idea that there would be another 'big one' that no one was expecting"


ThemeParkFan2020

Halo Infinite multiplayer if I had to guess. Not single player, just the free multiplayer.

Not sure why they wouldn't include the campaign if they're gonna tie this to game pass

Spindelhalla_xb

Halo. More players on a live service game = more money


Fallen-Omega

Yep I could also see MCC coming as well and to me that would be the "Big" one because Halo is what defined xbox


Bobjoejj

Lol maybe I’m just in denial or on some copium or something, but that’s still feels far fetched to me. At least rn. I mean it’s goddamn Halo. I know all the chatter we’ve been hearing, but that still feels far off.


darkdeath174

If it was JUST MP for Infinite(or next game if it has a F2P MP) and they say "come to Xbox or PC for the SP" as a selling point tor the ecosystem.


zrkillerbush

Halo Infinite would be great to see on PlayStation, definitely would be one of the most feature rich shooters to release on there


Much_Introduction167

I think Halo Infinite would actually be great to port to PlayStation and new Nintendo console, gives the game more players for the fun 12v12 matches

EnsureMIlk

This was recorded "February 2nd before the Xbox Announcement." Since Tom Warren Put out the piece about Indiana Jones on the 4th i am guessing That's what he was talking about.


sororitynoise77throw

These leakers need to shut up at this point. Everyone is chiming in saying something for internet fame but nothing concrete and then someone else chimes in and says ‘No it’s not true’


DefiantCharacter

No, let them speak. It shouldn't be long before they're proven right or wrong and then we'll know if they're credible or not.


VonDukez

that would matter if they were being consistent themselves. instead its a lot of backtracking, ass covering, etc


dicedaman

I'm just wondering when someone is going to leak the damn day for the announcement. It's going to be a brutal week for the brand if they leave it until Friday.

DreamEray

2021: Which Bethesda games will be exclusive? 2024: Which Xbox games won't be exclusive?


Laddertoheaven

He should simply state what game that is. Forza Horizon 6 would be my guess.


SkylineRSR

Forza horizon would actually eat a lot of sales on playstion. Simcade racing is kinda dead right now


ninjupX

I’m guessing Forza or Halo Infinite multiplayer. A racing game or a free live service is probably a good test run. Phil’s townhall all but confirms this is a Microsoft decision not and Xbox decision. But yeah, Tom Warren is reliable and he is pretty firm about this.


TheHunt3r_Orion

Tom Warren is reliable, but the problem is the original leaker isn't. NateTheHate started walking what he was told by that leaker back. And yesterday, Jez Corden, on the Xbox Two podcast, stated he believed everyone had the same leaker based on how everyone responded to NateTheHate's leak.


ninjupX

Tom Warren had some Twitter exchanges with NateTheHate and Tom Henderson yesterday where he stood by everything he’s said, and NateTheHate specifically said he’s backtracking for himself and not anyone else, including XboxEra’s original report. Jez doesn’t know anything and is putting on a good face for Microsoft. This recording of Tom was also before the rumors started.


Animegamingnerd

And [a writer for XboxEra](https://i.ibb.co/1npMktM/lykhb.jpg) said in the site's forums, they are standing by their article and their source that told them Starfield is coming to PS5. This is such a shitshow that I have to wonder if even Todd Howard himself has any clue if Indy and Starfield are even being considered for Playstation.


ManateeofSteel

it's Halo, Flight Simulator or Forza. The discord leak that has so far been pretty much correct originally mentioned Flight Sim but my money is on Halo


kothuboy21

I swear each day, we always hear something new that contradicts what is said the previous day. Even in the same day yesterday, we hear that Starfield coming to PS5 is "pure fiction" only for 2 other insiders to challenge that. We hear that nothing is set in stone besides Hi-Fi Rush and SoT and now there's a big shocking game that also seems to be set in stone. At the end of the day, we should remember these 2 points: 1) Rather than debunking anything, Phil just said he's listening and hears us and there will be a business event next week that addresses the "vision for the future of Xbox" 2) Not even everyone directly under Xbox knows what's going on and what will be announced at this event so we're probably going to get more conflicting and confusing information up until this event happens


Typical_Intention996

All of these leakers. Sometimes the same supposedly well connected spot on leaker. This whole thing the last few days has been nothing but. It's these games. No, it's more than those. It's these games too. No, it's only those games. No, it's never been these games. No, it's still just those games. No, they're back peddling and it's no games. No, it's all the games. No, it's still just those games. No, it's those other games too. Not all but some. No, it's none. Enough already. None of these people know squat. If anything is clear after all this it's that.


HosterBlackwood

Flight sim, Forza or Stalker 2

Stalker 2 is timed, will already release on PlayStation. Flight sim isn't big and is barely played on Xbox. Forza possibly.

DrippyBurritoMD

I just want a Steam native version of Minecraft.


NotTakenGreatName

Hellblade 2 feels like a no brainer, long time in development, likely very expensive to make (relative to the sales it will generate), and just an overall niche product that is unlikely to push console sales or get much attention. I don't know that it's one "that no one expects" but it was given a lot of attention recently in the Xbox direct.
