And most importantly, I hope TES6 and the next Fallout are not Xbox exclusives...

I'd assume that they're gonna come out for the PC as well, at least.

EDIT: Wikipedia lists the platforms for TES6 as Windows and Xbox, and says that it won't come out for other platforms:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_VI

The game's exclusivity to Windows and Xbox consoles has since been repeatedly confirmed.

I'm assuming that, absent Microsoft specifically trying to go out of their way to block it, which I'm not aware of them having a history of with their other titles, that the Windows binaries will also run on Linux via Proton.

Yeah, I meant console exclusive. I'm only interested in playing it on Playstation. TES6 and Starfield were announced as ~~Xbox~~ "Microsoft platforms exclusives" but there's nothing a quarterly report could not turn around.

You bought the wrong console I guess

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, I didn't.

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well you did if you wanted to play elder scrolls. Honestly PC seems to be the way to go since Playstation exclusives are being ported to it and you can play most Xbox games on there too.

I suppose that it does create an opportunity for a new company to create similar titles for the PlayStation without competition.

I've been pretty much ignoring what's been happening in console-land, but it looks like Nintendo's current offering has much-more-limited hardware -- portable and about a generation back, with maybe a quarter the memory. Games in the genre are kind of RAM-hungry, so I don't know if that's a realistic target for anything that intends to remain vaguely feature-competitive.

I assume that MacOS users also won't be targeted.

CD Projekt Red has targeted the PS5 and Switch but not MacOS users with The Witcher 3. Cyberpunk 2077 targeted the PS5 but not the Switch or MacOS. I don't know what their upcoming game, codenamed Project Orion, will target.

Red Dead Redemption 2 targeted the PS4 but not the Switch or MacOS. I don't know if there are new games planned in the series.

Grand Theft Auto VI will apparently target the PS5 but not Switch or MacOS.
