My speculation is that this is more about gamespass than it is about exclusives.

That is what I was thinking.

Microsoft and Bethesda both said that Bethesda will still self publish their games.

They also said the games will be coming to Xbox family of consoles, PC and additional consoles on a case by case basis.

I think they want people to get Gamepass on Xbox and PC.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Yeah, that works for me as well on every version of the game. He won't come out of until you swim away.

Microsoft just threw down. With the way they've been running their software developers, I doubt all of these will go exclusive, but here's a brief list of what IP's they are picking up from Bethesda:



Doom


Wolfenstein


Quake


Elderscrolls


The Evil Within


Dishonored


Rage


Prey



And the upcoming new IP's:



Ghostwire: Tokyo


Deathloop

Holy Cow, what a great exit for the Bethesda owners. Is it known how many billions were paid?

EDIT: "buy Bethesda parent ZeniMax for an eye-watering $7.5 billion - three times what it paid for Minecraft maker Mojang" Oh my fucking god!

Project Warlock - Switch PC.

If you like the original Doom/are over the age of 29 this is a mandatory purchase.

It is glorious.  Word to the wise, play on casual (same difficulty, just infinite lives instead of 3) as there is no change in gameplay difficulty -- it's just as fun and challenging.

I have swam past him multiple times. I have hovered right in front of him. And he doesn't f-ing move.

Since we are reminiscing about console launches and Mario 64 is back in the news, I think now would be the Perfect time for GG to retell his story about Miyamoto.

You know, I don't I think they overpaid. If anything, history has shown us that Minecraft was a steal.

The Elderscrolls IP is probably worth half that. Skyrim alone has sold over 30 million copies. Their own as many merchandising opportunities available like there are for Minecraft, but in this day and age would anyone here be shocked to see a Skyrim movie or Netflix series announced in the next couple years?

Sunshine looks amazing at 1080p widescreen. The wider view makes navigating the levels easier too. It's too bad motion controls aren't an option for aiming FLUDD, though.

Omg the wiimote/switch use in Galaxy is so good. I've missed the Wii uniqueness. And this is still probably my favourite game ever made.

MIYAMOTO and Aonuma came to London for Wind Waker launch. When they opened the doors we all rushed to the basement. I slipped  and smashed into a CD stand. CDs went flying everywhere, a stunned security guard just looked shocked. I ran onto the basement, joining a crew where we waited for 3 more hours. He signed my N64 Mario 64 which I later sold for £50. I passed him a note detailing everything I felt was wrong with Nintendo. I think he read it... I must have influenced him directly, right??

Okay playing through Hotel Delfino is pretty cool though it looks kinda like crap.  It has the only non-Fludd section that I finished in one try.

With all this SMS talk I feel like just playing the original.  I still have my GC hooked up, but I'd have to rummage around a bit to find the correct memory card.

I fully agree.  It's a lotta money though, that's my only point. Makes even more sense when you thin kof Gamepass and the Netflixification of gaming (think Disney +). MS is smart to lock up as many licences as they can, this is only going to get more expensive.

I have the strategy guide for it. I think it was Nintendo Power subscribers gift. Those were the days.

I've never been one to believe in 'strategy'.  It's right up there with Voodoo and UFO sighting if you ask me.

Did you also see the results, or merely see the results?

I Googled the results but did not research every website. Perhaps a qualitative study is in order with detailed notes during my observations.  The things I do for you guys  research.
