Xbox News - How Did I Miss This? Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

The latest Xbox news coming out of the GDC 2023 pertains to ID@Xbox and Xbox game demos. I could see this leading to good things for Xbox Game Pass games as a way to increase value. I have already predicted that Xbox Game Pass will change and would likely come with an Xbox Game Pass price increase. A great way to help with the transition would be to add more value.

My Diablo IV beta gameplay first impressions are mostly positive. The Diablo 4 closed beta has come and gone and I wanted to discuss the good and the bad.

Diablo IV Beta Gameplay Expectations Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

My Diablo IV beta gameplay expectations are extremely high. The latest Diablo 4 gameplay preview information from folks like Force Gaming is overwhelmingly positive. The Diablo 4 beta starts today and we are jumping in to examine how good the combat and open world feel. This weekend is the Diablo IV closed beta and the next weekend is the open beta. My hope for the Diablo 4 closed beta is that I can get a great look into the Diablo 4 combat as well as the open-world exploration.

PS5 Pro Confirmed? This is a Problem Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Was the PS5 Pro confirmed recently by a handful of PS5 Pro leaks? If so, this is a problem for both those looking for a PS5 restock as well as the Xbox Series S. With the latest Final Fantasy 16 gameplay trailer showing off the true power of the PS5 it can only go up from here. And with the PS5 pro performance targeting better ray tracing this could be a strong dividing line between Xbox vs Playstation.

Xbox Activision Deal | Sony Was Right Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

The latest Xbox Activision deal news is showing that Sony was right. Jim Ryan and PlayStation have been accused of being desperate because they think a Call of Duty Xbox exclusive could come in the way of a better version. Turns out, the CFO of Xbox said this will be the strategy from Microsoft. Many looking at the Microsoft Activision Blizzard deal are choosing sides and that is not what this is about. I believe that Sony Playstation is completely in the right to push back on the deal while Xbox and Phil Spencer have every right to push to get the deal through.

Xbox Game Pass News | The Path Forward Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

The latest Xbox Game Pass news concerns the Xbox Activision deal and if there will be or won't be an Xbox Game Pass price increase in the future. While many are concerned with whether or not we end up with a Call of Duty Xbox exclusive some are more concerned with price. The Microsoft Blizzard Activision acquisition is part of the future strategy for Game Pass games and how they bolster their value. But considering what Phil Spencer and others have said about how much money it will generate annually I believe the structure of Xbox Game Pass will change and they will use the Xbox showcase this summer to announce it.

Diablo 4 Has an Identity Crisis Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

It is my belief that Diablo 4 has an identity crisis based on all the information we have about the game. The Diablo IV gameplay loop will consist of end game activities, renown, paragon boards, and more. But the Diablo 4 seasons will create an odd relationship between the base game and the ongoing game. The latest Diablo 4 news ended up in a video about how I believe we are looking at a Diablo 4 mmo instead of just another online ARPG. Diablo IV is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, and is the fourth main installment in the Diablo series. The game was announced on November 1, 2019 at BlizzCon 2019, and is scheduled for release on June 6, 2023.

Playstation News - How They Compete Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

The recent rumors of Playstation buying Take Two Interactive has me thinking about the ways that Sony can compete without Call of Duty. The Xbox Activision deal continues to move forward with concessions but many are wondering what will happen after the ten year concessions made by Microsoft end. I believe that Square Enix and Ubisoft are potential purchases for Sony Playstation but fundamentally competing with COD if we end up with Call of Duty Xbox exclusive could be almost impossible. Many have confused Sony using Call of Duty money to pay for first party titles as a problem for the future of the platform.
