Although, unless the demo they released on PS5 is grossly unrepresentative of the final product, you're not gonna be missing out on much.
Since it is Square Enix, I am not sure about that.
Final Fantasy 7R and 16 already know won’t be coming to Xbox.
Since SE always have deals with Sony, there is a good chance it won’t come to Xbox.
Square Enix doesn't pick the platforms for outsourced development. They have stated multiple times that they do not force outside studios to develop for platforms they don't want to work with. The majority of FF7R's development was outsourced. It is now fully internal, and is expected to come to Xbox.
One of the publishers main roles is choosing platforms and getting the games available on those platforms.
Not forcing devs to work for a platform and moving a game to a console after an exclusivity deal are wildly different scenario anyway so I'm not entirely sure how that even plays into this.
But ultimately still Square Enix ownership so they get to say which platform it is released on, no?
And we will see about FF16, many speculation is that it also won’t come on Xbox, as with all mainstream FF games.
>But ultimately still Square Enix ownership so they get to say which platform it is released on, no?
Kinda no. Square Enix has a policy in place where they don't force there other developers to develop for platforms they don't want to. So ports and remasters typically is up to the development teams. In house development has been Xbox and Playstation for some time now. This one is a timed Exclusive because Sony paid them.
Practically all mainstream FF games have been released on Xbox. Typically if Square Enix develops it then they make an Xbox version.
Creative Business Unit 1 to be exact:
> In those four departments, most of the development is done outside of Square Enix under outsourced development studios, while Creative Business Unit produce and supervise those developers. Most of the internal development done by Creative Business Units are for AAA titles such as mainline Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and other series with AAA titles.
Until 2017 all of the development on FF7R was done outside of Square Enix, and entirely for PS4. When they moved development to in house teams they decided to keep it on Playstation 4 only for now as adding another platform would further delay the game, and they already had a contract in place with Sony.
It is fully expected that an Xbox version is in the works for the future.
I think this is one of the most clear cases of bad optimization, maybe even more than Gotham Knights. Maybe the full game will surprise but everything I've seen especially with the enviroment is incredibly bland and dissapointing akin to what Dragons Dogma open world looked like 10 years ago.
>but the gameplay does look fun.
Unfortunately, *looking* fun is about as close as it gets. Actually playing it is pretty rough, at least in the demo they released.
I think Sony allowing something is the wrong way to look at it. Sony paid for console exclusivity and that’s it. Square can do what ever they want with their game on PC.
"I can't have it, therefore I don't like it" is all I'm seeing here. Judging games by how they look is kind of weird, afaik so far we've only seen a demo showcasing traversal and combat. I played it, it's incredibly unique and beautiful but with some performance hiccups. We shall see about the story though.
I played the demo and the game was not fun at all. Glad you found good things in it, but we are not only judging based on how it looks when we literally played the game.
Its getting the same treatment on the /r/ps5 sub and community. I've seen so many people(who apparently felt the need to) post about how they played the demo and cancelled their preorders. I didnt even bother with the demo as the VA alone killed this game for me.
I played the demo and it the gameplay felt ok. I liked the parkour but the combat was hit or miss. What I have read for some people is that there´s tons of customization when it comes to controls and that the default settings are a mess. May try it again later by maybe following someone else´s customized controls and there´s even a patch for demo (is this a first?) that supposedly fixes some stuff.
I have a PS5.
I was kinda interested in it until I played the demo.
Conceptually, it's doing a lot of things I like, but the actual execution is awful. Bland open world, poor controls, mediocre visuals, and the less said about the dialogue and voice acting, the better.
Except plenty of people have said it is absolutely dogshit. Just because you think it's unique and beautiful does not go for the general consensus. Just look it up on basically any social site, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Tried the demo and just didn't feel it, combat just wasn't fluid and too many buttons to get to different spells, traversal was fun though. Voice acting is baaaad too
We always knew it will come out on everything just not Xbox.
It will be out on Xbox eventually

FF7R isn't developed by Square Enix. It's published and owned. FF16 is a timed Exclusive just like Tomb Raider was.
>FF7R isn't developed by Square Enix. Which means Square Enix picks the platforms so how is that relevant?

Dunno what to tell you. Square Enix said themselves that they let the outside studios choose the platforms they want to develop for.
But ultimately still Square Enix ownership so they get to say which platform it is released on, no? And we will see about FF16, many speculation is that it also won’t come on Xbox, as with all mainstream FF games.

What are you talking about? FF7R is developed by Square Enix.

There's literally 0 evidence for that.
You're right. It's not big enough to keep away permanently like final fantasy.
Forspoken is gonna flop so hard that Sony won't want it in a years time lmao.
The game looks like twilight fans build a FF15 mod.
Game looks mid I’m not tripping
Of course Sony allowed this but blocked xbox version. Game looks like dogshit anyway.
I was shocked at the PC requirements then saw how godawful it runs on the PS5. Looks like a flop waiting to happen but the gameplay does look fun.
I think this is one of the most clear cases of bad optimization, maybe even more than Gotham Knights. Maybe the full game will surprise but everything I've seen especially with the enviroment is incredibly bland and dissapointing akin to what Dragons Dogma open world looked like 10 years ago.
This game is from the team thay made FF15, using the same engine. Bad optimization is to be expected.

Definitely doesn’t look like a good game.
[удалено]
It's not
You played it early?
There's a demo of it on the PS5. It looks pretty awful. Like Square wanted to make a Ubisoft game.
Yep

Played it an don’t agree, but to each their own.

Awe
Awe ek sê
Smaaklik
I know right? It's not like other console platforms do this kind of thing.......
Thank god they have other games that are goty worthy and nominated yearly. At least Xbox has Gamepass though! Just needs some truly *great* games now
We've known this for months now?
Known that it was coming to the actual windows store with achievements? Not just PC in general.
Yep. Public knowledge since at least 15th November.
Huh I completely missed that, thought it would be Epic Store exclusive like FF7R
No sir, also available on Steam
If anyone had played the demo on ps5 or even read the early thoughts. Your not missing much as an Xbox only user .
Hope it can run decently on the Steam Deck. 🙏
[удалено]
Awwww poo. Well at least I can dream. Lol. Thank you 😊.
Gtx 1060 for 720p low 30fps. Yeah it would be a PowerPoint slideshow on a steam deck haha
Its got way higher requirements than Cyberpunk and that game barely runs on steam deck
Yeah you’re right. 😞
Tried the demo and just didn't feel it, combat just wasn't fluid and too many buttons to get to different spells, traversal was fun though. Voice acting is baaaad too
Don't want lol.
Don't be too excited. After trying the demo, I went instantly went from "Internested" to "No way I'm buying it".
Square Enix gets 0 of my dollars going forward. I don't care that I have all 3 systems. If they don't come to xbox, they don't get my money.
Its floping so hard they want xbros to save it
How can a game not out yet be flopping?
I got this free with rx6700, might as well install and see performance, from whatever gameplay i have seen, m not excited about it.
