I don’t think you can compare the deadlock and concord mechanics. The concord one is more like, congratulations you won a round with the M4 in CS… You can no longer use the M4 for the rest of the game.

FFXIV released on Xbox earlier this year.

I don’t know if Blizzard ever did an official controller interface for WoW though, that will definitely be the first hurdle.

I don’t think point 3 is quite fair. There were some new ideas thrown into the game.

The issue is those ideas were not fun, or very badly implemented. I believe it was the ranked mode, where if you won the round you were then locked out of playing that character again. They also had you build out a collection of characters to pick from before the game started.

There were some new ideas, I just don’t know of any that were good and added to the game. The only ones I know of seemed bad(or at least badly implemented) and took away from what enjoyment people had with the game.

I think calling this pc heavy is really really generous.

The War Within is an expansion for an MMO, yeah it is pc only, but there is also no expectations for it to be released on console. Maybe WoW will see some port now MS owns it?

Towerborne is coming to Xbox. I am pretty sure the only reason it isn’t yet, is because of early access, and the Xbox having stricter rules for pushing updates? It is coming to Xbox, when it isn’t a paid beta

And finally, I am surprised Ara didn’t get a console launch. A quick search shows one is coming after launch, but no dates or anything outside of sometime after PC.

Outside of the WoW expansion, these are only temporary exclusives, and one of them is early access. I will admit, I actually thought Ara released on Xbox, so was genuinely surprised to find it wasn’t(yet).

It depends. Is there going to be a new console generation within a few years of release? Cause if so that will be released first, then slap on a few more years for the pc version.

I am not too fussed about remakes. There are so many games to play, I don’t have enough time.

But, one game I would instantly get, Panzer Dragoon Saga. What an absolutely legendary game, that hardly anyone had the chance to play. Cleaning that up and releasing it on modern platforms would be amazing.

Wikipedia is only listing PS5. Spiderman and Miles Morales were PS4, but Spiderman 2 is only on the PS5

It has more than one… But it is incredibly lacking still.

But it got Astrobot, Destruction All-stars are both new IPs. There is also Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for first party. And you can throw in Stella Blade and FF7 Rebirth for now as well.

I believe everything else is remakes or not exclusive to the PS5.

Edit - ohhh scratch Ratchet and Clank off as well, that’s on PC. I thought it was the PS4 one that came to PC, but it is Rift Apart.

Yea, I think I would probably say I prefer single player or co-op games over multiplayer.

But I am pretty sure that I put more time into street fighter 6 last year than every other game combined. I do really enjoy my fighting games… But I can’t really stand to play any other competitive multiplayer genre.

You will be happy to know there is online for every game in that collection.

Power stone and PS2 are both coming out next year in Capcom Fighting Collection 2.

Pretty sure he means a deluxe edition upgrade as a mtx.

Where some games allow you to get the base game, try it out and upgrade if you want. Rather than diving in at the deep end and not knowing if you’ll enjoy the game.

So this might not be the most helpful answer, but I think there have already been some great suggestions (monster hunter world and dragons dogma are both awesome).

Granblue Fantasy Relink, it is possibly the game that ticks every box. Has a single player story and is full of dragons and demons to kill, you are recruiting your crew and gearing them up for massive fights, it has some fantastic combat(had platinum games help on it).

The biggest downside is it isn’t out til February, but there is a demo on Playstation 4/5 if you have one to try it on, unfortunately PC not getting a demo.
