here is the uh part of the article that
I'm going to read retim and it goes on
to say uh I asked both Microsoft and
game science to uh uh to comment on the
optimizations issue
uh uh seeking some clarity uh was the
Xbox series s to blame question mark
game science didn't respond but this
morning a Microsoft spokesperson offered
the below statement now this is where
the rubber hits the road ladies and
gentlemen and there is some
figaz going on and the spokesperson for
Microsoft simply said this we're excited
to launch we're excited for the launch
of the of black myth Wukong for Xbox
series X and S and are working with game
science to bring that game to our
platforms and this is where I think they
dropped it like it's hot Gams Ley we
can't comment on the deals made by our
partners with other platform holders but
we remain focused on making Xbox the
best platform for gamers and great games
are at the center of that okay so I mean
I'm not a three star detective uh and I
can say that maybe someone will have a
different opinion and that's great but
what that says to me is because they
simply could have said the first
paragraph and been done with it we're
working with game science we'll let you
know when a re release date is happening
but they didn't stop there gamy we
cannot comment on the deals made by our
partners with other platform holders but
we remain focused on making Xbox the
best platform for gamers and great games
are at the center of that that tells me
that this was another Sony money had a
deal whether it be for a three-month
block a six-month block a 12month block
they paid game
science to hold this game back for a bag
of cash now is that what happened well
maybe you don't think that maybe
somebody in the chat doesn't think that
that's what I think because Sony well
you know it's interesting they've been
called slimy by the head of X of M Xbox
or Microsoft gaming uh and now we kind
of know why this is another one of those
deals now again I know I'm going to get
people pushing back in the pack hey boom
it's just it's it's just business and
you are right it is just business but
it's disgusting business because this
was originally announced to launch
across all
platforms all at the same time time the
game has been in development for over
five years you cannot tell me that they
did not have the specs uh in their
possession for the series X and S and
interestingly enough we cannot even say
that they didn't get help from uh from
Microsoft because they just said that
they did so to me this is a load to BS
let's get your hot
take yeah so um this this is going to be
the problem Microsoft probably runs in
for a long time until Game Pass is uh on
full swing um it's to make sure that
third party developers are on their
platform day and date that's that's the
most important thing they need to make
sure that all these games are on the
Xbox
platform releasing the same time as
everywhere um it's going to be a huge
problem for them only because we know
that Sony is going out there um with
enticing deals like going out there
maybe in the background it looks uh
harmless it's like oh look let me help
you look have our team we'll help you
we'll boost uh your visibility we'll you
know send you I don't know we'll fund
something for you just uh you know be on
our platform first um I don't think
that's I don't think there's a contract
out there right now um basically locking
them down by any means I don't think
there
uh making that deal in the background or
else it would have just said PlayStation
5 launch exclusive you know um if they
did so they're doing something else
they're I think they went there first
they're helping the smaller
Team PlayStation has the biggest console
out there right now the teams are
probably prioritizing the
PlayStation uh version of the game it's
been shown in court that's what they've
been doing to like Phil Spen said look
we're we're we're not on the top right
now and Sony gets to kind of come in and
negotiate um these unofficial
things um and I think that's what's
happening it's almost this handshake in
the back saying hey look here's here's a
help here's a team to help you we'll
push you here focus on us because we're
the biggest platform and so on and so on
and I think Xbox was just left on the
side
um like they usually freaking are and I
hate that that's a thing but right now I
think they're just too small to uh that
the console Market is just too small for
these third parties to really prioritize
at the same time if they are small teams
and if they are lacking some sort of
money or
Tech and we could read between the lines
Xbox sent out a team uh just like they
did with Boulders Gate 3 but we know
that Boulders Gate 3 Larry and Studios
were weren't um paid exactly by Sony to
exclude Xbox they were just having a
little bit of issues and prioritizing
other platforms first so that's what's
happening here it's a laran studio deal
all over again and that's I don't think
it's an actual deal but that's unpopular
opinion in A Storm of uh we want to
shoot guns at Sony but yeah that's
that's my take well I mean listen you're
entitled to your opinion that's why we
love having you on this particular show
each and every week uh because we don't
always agree but you know what we always
walk away like brothers uh and we may
have different opinions and you know
what that's what's that's what great
discourse is all about so yes sir uh and
again I I like I like your stand I I
appreciate your stand sir um fuzzy I I I
want to bring in I want to bring you
into this conversation because anyone
that knows uh the uh Twitter uh site uh
it's Xbox news for
Koreans uh it's Korea Xbox news on X or
Twitter uh and they were very busy this
weekend uh very busy indeed uh now
obviously they cover a lot of Korean
news and well this team is from from
Korea from what I understand right game
science um and like I said they were
very busy chat and one of their tweets
which I have in front of me I have quite
a few of them actually uh the one I want
to open up with is this they say the
developer/publisher announced the exact
Xbox version release date eight months
before the date but eight months later
they won't have the completed uh they
won't have it completed the Xbox
optimization work that needs to be done
please let me know if there's another
game in video game history like this
like this particular case my Common
Sense tells me that in order to announce
such an exact release date for all
platforms all versions must already be
fairly complete now that makes a whole
mess of sense to me well that's not the
only tweet that they
had they also add uh FYI it's already
been documented in US court filings that
Sony pays third party to exclude Xbox
and they provided the actual document
where it says previous versions of Final
Fantasy shipped on Xbox but the reason
that Final Fantasy 16 is a PlayStation
exclusive is because Sony paid to
exclude Xbox that's in the court
documents but that's not where it ends
because I have another tweet and let me
just pull that up right here they go on
to bring up two particular points and
cases uh how Microsoft reacts when an an
anticipated game for Xbox has
optimization issue and they have two
particular games where Microsoft
actually sent the series s team to get
this stuff done one of which is the it
came the way of Po world uh on Xbox's
part is according to PO World we're
working with pocket pair to help Provide
support for Xbox versions of the
game we're providing support to enable
dedicated servers offering engineering
resources to help with the GPU and
memory optimizations speeding up the
process to make power world updates
available for players and working with
the team to optimize our title for the
platform but that's not where it ends it
also goes on to bring up uh the point
where you just mentioned it uh gamley
boldar Gate 3 and Xbox specifically
tweets this in partnership with the
talented people at Laman Studios we're
thrilled to share boldar Gate 3 will be
coming to Xbox later this year stay
tuned for more details and of course it
goes on to say to answer some questions
we're getting we'll continue to work
with larryan to explore an additional
split screen for the Xbox series s post
launch now they sent the team there as
well again different opinions it's fine
this is one of those at least for me
disgusting moves by Sony and what this
ultimately does for me
I'm not boycotting the game I cannot
wait to play black myth W Kong because
of a couple reasons one it looks dope
two it's a lore that Mrs boom and I
really appreciate and enjoy and three it
is more action-based than it is soul so
that has me very excited all right but
considering of where this game could
potentially land let's just say for
shits and giggles chat that this game is
a three Monon delay and doesn't land
until December well it's a game that a
now I'm not buying now I'm not giving
them my money because well Indiana Jones
is g to be out in probably December I'm
still gonna be playing a vow I'm still
going to be playing a bunch of other
games that are coming out that are not
Xbox exclusives but are going to be a
part of the release of the year you know
you have the new Assassin's Creed you
got the new Star Wars there is a whole
mess of games coming out between now and
the end of the year this releas is in
August you have a winner winner chicken
dinner at least for me because at least
a vow is not out right because that's
supposedly dropping in October uh you
have you're probably gonna I mean again
Indiana Jones could be November for all
we know but you got you got call duty in
October as well you also have Indiana
Jones for me ladies and gentlemen this
gets put on the pay no mine list I'll
buy it when it's on sale and maybe it's
me being a dick I don't know but all I
know is that it's coming out in a time
where I'm personally I don't have as
much time as many other Gamers because I
produce five live shows a week and I
still run a household so I try to get
gaming in there in the middle and this
game has now been taken off the the must
playlist because of this delay now is it
because I'm being vanic no it's because
there's too much to play and I'd rather
play the other games than play this like
am I gonna play this over Star Wars or
Assassin's Creed or AOW or Indiana Jones
the answer is no I will not so now
they've lost a sale um and I I'm gonna
go buy it but I'm not buying it for full
boat I'm gonna buy it when it's on sale
I'm gonna get it at the end of the year
uh and and you know get that end of the
year save 20 bucks kind of a deal let's
let's get your thoughts on uh what
happened with this
game I'm kind of torn on on a couple of
levels of this and I have to give a
shout out to PA as far as putting it in
a a way as far as how this could have
been a deal but not necessarily a deal
and we've kind of seen something similar
with kalista protocol but amazingly that
team released the game on time or at the
same time it's just that it was missing
a few features that seemed a little odd
like mirror Reflections and things like
that but one of the things
that I I kind of give the side eye to
Xbox but then again they're a platform
they can't be sending you know know a a
Dev team of ninjas to every Studio that
can't figure out the series s or can't
figure out how to uh you know optimize
for their platform um but then again
this was a game that was the most
wishlisted game on Steam for a while so
that's one of those they may have sort
of kind of nudged uh a little bit closer
uh just so they don't have another
balers gate type of situation not saying
that it was guaranteed to be a game of
the year but it does have a lot of
attention it does have a lot of eyes and
has been exciting gaming fans for you
know the past three or four years at
least um but the the thing that Sony
tends to do although it may not be a
deal as far as marketing or having the
exclusivity is that they will go to a
team like especially a team that may
have some veterans on it but it's a new
studio they're new to producing a game
on that platform Sony is willing to say
you know this is a game that our our
player base likes let's go ahead and
intervene and say hey what's the
timeline on this game releasing because
before the announcement like eight
months prior where it was announced that
it was coming to consoles andp was going
to be a PC release and then maybe
eventually come to console but what
PlayStation would tend to do or what's
more likely in their their you know
thought process is send a team so that
way it can release the same time as
PC maybe that's a way of excluding Xbox
to some extent maybe it's another way of
looking at it to not have their console
you know be on the the secondary Cadence
as opposed to PC launch so if they're
sending additional help or resources
money cash
whatever that's their way of of playing
kind of the dirty behind the scenes game
of keeping stuff on their platform or at
least making sure ensuring that it's
going to be on their platform in a
timely manner um whether that the case
or if it is more scrupulous where Sony
kind of paid money to prioritize their
their uh platform or if it's just the
studio looking at the PlayStation player
base being that they sold a 100 you know
million consoles uh or more than 100
million of the PS4 and they're on their
way to 50 or 60 million for the PS5
they're like well yeah we could probably
stand a better chance of getting more
sales on that larger base not that Xbox
is that far behind like if I'm
understanding it's somewhere in the 40
million range on these current series of
consoles if not more by now but whatever
case a lot of devs seem to prioritize
PlayStation because of it being the
market leader as as it so as it states
in console sales but for me I wasn't
planning on buying this one console
anyway just these types of games that
are not a first-party type of game I've
now kind of pushed to buying those on PC
as an option because I have that option
um it makes it easy if I should choose
to play this on a portable or a handheld
like a steam deck that I already own it
makes it a little bit easier or I could
play it on my my desktop PC but um I I
think the bigger thing now is Xbox
should probably play the same game and
one of the things I I said on like Xbox
ultimate on Friday is they're now and
we're going to get into the whole FTC
thing it looks like they're at the light
at the end of the tunnel even though
Technically when they closed the deal
they were at the end of the tunnel but
as far as the the noise and the the
drama and the the background with the
FTC since they seem to be clearing a lot
of that I would say play the bidding war
with Sony so if it's the case that
they're doing these slimy tactics make
it more expensive for them each and
every time and just for example sake if
we look at back at like GTA 4 when it
first released originally it was
supposed to be a PS4 exclusive but
Microsoft paid a counter offer that
counter offer also guaranteed that they
got the DLC that PS3 didn't get so
there's ways that they could play this
game Sony's bank is only but so big and
it's not to say that Microsoft needs to
you know go to their coffers of you know
King Microsoft to to be able to you know
play this game but some of the profits
that Microsoft or that Xbox is making in
itself as its own entity are enough to
play this game maybe not toe for toe in
every case with Sony but definitely make
it more expensive especially while they
seem like they want want to focus on
movie theaters and and non-gaming
related things I I think this is the
better time to strike and kind of you
know throw your weight around that you
have at this moment especially with
things like Call of Duty in your pocket
to make it so let's say you know
normally if if PlayStation was going to
get the marketing rights for a game like
this or even Grand Theft Auto B three to
five million higher and keep on playing
that game until either you won win it or
two you you know make them spend
probably an extra 20 million that they
don't really want to part with that's
going to eventually take away from their
first party but that's a whole another
way to look at it but for me I'm still
going to wind up getting this on CD Keys
you know on Steam get it out a discount
cheaper than what it goes for retail on
Steam and um play it that way but it it
is not a good look for that studio to
kind of allow these things to happen
you you know as we get into this
transition in this generation into the
next where there could be a toppling of
the market leader I I I would say you
don't want to necessarily be on the bad
side of Microsoft or Xbox at this point
in time uh so whatever they got to do to
get that thing as close to August
release I think would be in their best
interest but I either way you look at it
it Microsoft needs to play the same dirt
behind the scenes in some cases maybe
they don't want want to get their
clothes dirty or whatever but I I think
at this point since the FTC is less
likely to scrutinize every move you make
I think it's time to play a little of
these games I mean Matt booty said it in
an email we need to spend about of
business kind of thing show show some of
that same uh fire and maybe make Sony
regret some of these types of you know
sending Dev teams out early just to
guarantee or have a prioritize for for
PlayStation and see how they enjoy that
aspect fact
