Xbox Is Making Sure That You Know Metal Gear, Marathon, And More Are Coming To Xbox, Too

Xbox wants to make sure you don't forget about Xbox.

50 Comments

During the PlayStation Showcase, Sony revealed various games coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Moments after the showcase ended, Xbox sent a reminder that many of the games shown would be coming there too.

On the official Xbox Twitter account, there's a post that reads "What a good looking group" with a picture of the following games: Immortals Of Aveum, Ghostrunner 2, Marathon, Metal Gear Solid, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2, The Plucky Squire, Teardown, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Neva, Cat Quest, and The Talos Principle 2.

It's worth noting throughout the entire PlayStation Showcase whenever the trailer for each game ended, the majority of them said that each one would be coming to PlayStation. But it's also worth noting that most publishers behind these games have a long history of releasing their games on Xbox. Games such as Assassin's Creed have been multiplatform since the first game in the 360/PS3 era, and the Metal Gear series has been on Xbox since 2002. The same applies to EA's Immortals Of Aveum and Remedy Entertainment with Alan Wake 2.

Even though many games were announced that will be coming out for both consoles, the following games won't be available on Xbox: Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy 16, Phantom Blade Zero, Ultros, and Revenant Hill.

For more news on what was announced at the PlayStation Showcase, check out our stories on how the Final Fantasy 16 story trailer sets the stage for June's massive launch and how PlayStation Is returning to handheld gaming (sort of) with Project Q.

So apparently Sony has a bunch of other projects in the works and they're all close to being ready, but for some reason Sony didn't bother showing any of these games. The insiders who suggested this are kind of confused as to why they wouldn't. I'm guessing it's because they'd rather show these games closer to the fall.

@Barighm: So they made a completely meh show, unworthy of a PlayStation Showcase and are getting generally negative reception over it because "Greatness Awaits"? Having some cool stuff to show and landing a turd instead is a pretty stupid move. They could have shown some teasers of the stuff everyone said they wanted to see to get people excited instead of a bunch of Indies and multiplats with no release date. Must have been another Ryan idea.

It's no secret for those of us who actually do research and inform ourselves that Ryan has been favouring VR and live services lately.

And I don't buy this idea that it's a bad show just because it didn't show a lot of exclusives. It wasn't a great show, but it wasn't bad. I saw plenty of games I'm interested in.

You seem to be confusing this show for MS' recent releases. I'd give you a link to point you in the right direction, but you won't use it.

I have the consoles and luckily I can play on GP for windows as I hardly power up my consoles and unluckily Sony has no Sub for Windows so I am missing a lot of programs for them and I do not mind. I also buy my games on Steam as well.

Yes yes. By now we are all fully aware when PS shows games they will completely omit other platforms to make it look like it's PS Only, and we have to rely on outside information.

@stickemup: but they don't. If a game is exclusive they lable it exclusive or console exclusive or say whatever to let ya know it's timed when timed exclusive. No one is ever confused about a games status in an Xbox trailer. It is PS that omits it 99% of the time so anyone watching might think anything is only PS.

The only games I found interesting from the show were Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake is multiplat. The rest were Indie games, the 500th iteration of some franchise or games that had too much of that Destiny feel to them or an obvious ripoff of another franchise. Not expecting much better from Microsoft either. The new generation of gamers will buy anything, just keep those cookie cutters nice and sharp.

Sony's show was such a disaster. Imagine hyping it as your first over an hour show in a year. An event that is supposed to show us the future of PS, and all you show us are shitty indie titles that could've ran on a 360 and multiplats. WTF is that, Jim Ryan?

On one hand, I really appreciate the fact that whenever a game comes to Xbox nowadays, it usually guarantees it's also coming to PC. It's a very good thing. But on the other hand, it means that if Sony can't secure exclusives, then there's no reason whatsoever for consoles to exist, outside of convenience. Maybe this is a good thing for everyone in the end, but I love a good console gen. It gives gaming flavor and identity. PC is eternal, but it comes at a cost, and I'm not talking about money.

I'd be prepared to buy any console with a rock solid variety of genre-defining exclusives at any given time. I'd easily buy two competing consoles if their games were the best of the best.

But when both consoles have pretty much the exact same games, the exclusives are either derivative or bad, the good games are on PC too, and Nintendo is drunk over there... why spend all that money on paperweights? There's just no incentive to buy into a platform like that. And maybe that's okay.

If it's smarter for them to release games on PC since it means more sales anyway, maybe there's no real downside for the players. But consoles truly competing against one another has given us some of the most iconic games ever made. The easiest and most obvious example would probably be Sonic being born entirely as a response to Mario, but you can apply this principle to anything successful. Uncharted as a response to Gears of War was a more recent one. I haven't really felt that level of competitive energy for a while. Maybe they're all still cooking.

I think the PS5 has so much potential spec-wise for good games, with the SSD stuff eliminating load times. But they're taking so long making games for it, that by the time they have a library of games worth getting the console specifically for, it'll be time for a new hardware refresh. Which to be fair, isn't necessarily a bad thing. I did wait for the PS3 Slim.

Yeah, well that's not news to anyone. I didn't see any MS style full screen CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE placards before any of these games and we already knew Bungie were releasing their stuff multi-plat even after the aquistion.

Is that a "Me too" from Xbox? lol

Back to topic...yeah,85% of the PS show was multiplat.
Usually Sony could get good exclusive deals when their 1st party line up was sparse to "bridge" a certain period.

Eh, i shouldnt rise my expectation regarding the Xbox show too much either even if Xbox has an amazing chance to outshine the PS show.

So they wait for Sony to release trailers and then announce that they are coming out for Wicrosoft xbox also. Hopefully they have a show of their own with some new stuff to show us, that is what they are doing in the first place, making video games...right lul.

Well, I truly hope that MS comes out with some very compelling 9th gen exclusives sooner then later, and really increases their hardware install base. Also a M.2 slot added to the machine for non proprietary storage.

I really want to see a much stronger amount of competition this 9th gen. Sony's tie in ratio (software to hardware sales) is still incredible. This really moves and dominates the industry for the hobby we love called gaming.

Honestly, the console part of the gaming industry has gotten so large and multinational, that we should have three strong competitors- maybe even four- battling it out in the console platform space. This strong competition over the years, has brought us so many great games, and great consoles, for every platform including pc.

With the gaming industry getting bigger then movies, music, and tv combined... we the gamers, should have more competitors for our dollars then we do. I love Sony, I love MS, and Nin... I just want to see them fighting to the death, creating great games all the time.

Microsoft should abandon the purchase of Acti-Blizz and work on supporting the game devs it already has under its wing. Apparently they're still struggling, but maybe with the right kind of support they can produce some good games yet this gen.

@G-Corleone: I honestly don't know if it's dead. Actually it seems like it keeps getting greenlit by different entities.

If Microsoft does succeed, my question is, then what? I feel like ActiBlizz is sort of beyond saving at the moment. And I am not so sure that Microsoft has a track record of reviving the teams it purchases.

It would be cool if WoW Classic came to smartphones or something. That might breathe some new life into an old game. Or maybe WoW 2.

I feel like Microsoft is taking on way more than it can handle, and already has a lot of ducks it needs to get in a row.

@rewgle: i see your point, and i agree with the situation at ActBliz. If the deal falls, i could even bet a group like Embracer could make an even higher bid (with mergers and acquisitions normally theres always a pissing contest), but that wont save them from the shackels they’ve chained their IPs to. Could also be, that Bobby leaves for real if the deal falls, so that a new direction could make new exciting changes. WoW2 on phones? Why not. Heck, bring a whole game launcher to phones and tvs too.

All in all, i do fully agree with MS taking more than they can handle. I dont see how their mgmt of ActBliz will make things better. After Halo Infinite and Redfall, MS hasn’t shown any skill when mastering big projects, any churning huge mergers wouldnt change that.

Heres hoping they finally release the Xboy, best april fools joke (together with the apple gpod, that one was wild too haha)

@G-Corleone: XBoy is a great name for an XBox handheld. I would have loved to see them make something like that, but with the way the great Vita fared and how Nintendo has dominated the handheld gaming space, and considering that smartphones have largely replaced much of that... I fear the time for an XBoy already came and went.

@imajinn: precisely, no entity has won an appeal against them, and the EU approving it is just more wood to the fire, due to Brexit and beyond. Im not against the idea of it not being dead btw, dont get me wrong. Still, im calling it dead with the hopes that MS can concentrate on something maybe more special (Jade Empire 2 :D). I miss the amazing competition from the Xbox and 360 days, and i hope those days return somehow

EDIT: i would advise not getting the hopes up when seeing other countries approve the deal. Until the CMA situation is reversed, all other approvals are simply a mirage. Everything is running on this appeal, maybe MS can make history and pull this through. That would turn things around in a very exciting way

Remember the backlash when it was a fact that Xbox scrapped a possible Redfall version?

Xbox is bad,they scrapped my PS5 version of the game...Redfall launches and gets mediocre reviews and all of sudden "nah,we good ,you can keep that shit" lol

@sladakrobot: Yeah, that wasn't the context of that criticism at all.

The context was MS claiming they care so much about bringing all of their games to as many platforms as possible...and then we find out they specifically demanded the PS5 version get scrapped despite Arkane's plans for that version. It wasn't "backlash". It was poking fun.

@mooglestar: No you smarty pants, most of them were talking about those exclusives that were nowhere to be found and Sony practically forgot to put them in their show. What everybody want's to know, is What's next after Spiderman 2? A big showcase with no exclusives. Where are the games Jim Ryan and Sony? Let's just hold them accountable too like everyone holds Xbox too.

@doomsdayhell01: Playstation fans ARE holding Ryan responsible. His point was...what's it to Xbox fans? Why do they care? They don't. Playstation fans want to know what's next. A lot of Xbox fans in those threads were just looking to annoy.

@mooglestar: xbox fanboys were bashing the presentation precisely because it was a multiplat show and not a Play Station show. So it was a waste of time from the Play Station perspective.

@johnny0779: I don't think pointing out some of the titles at Sony's show are multiplatform is really playing hardball. MS would need some bangers Sony doesn't get to do that.

Honestly, putting out exclusives like Redfall is playing Mr. Nice Guy with Sony. : p

@m4a5: Oh, for sure. Never said they didn't. I'm just far more aware of MS' history than the others.

Can't say I've ever heard of Playstation stating good games don't sell consoles or of any devs quitting in droves from their first party studios because of mismanagement. But hey, Ryan has done lots of shitty stuff already, so maybe he has and I missed it.
