I'm pretty sure its regarded as possibly the best Sports game, not just the best Baseball game.

I've read a theory that MLB really wanted to have a larger audience for the game, so they probably worked with Sony to do whatever it took to get this on as many platforms as possible. I don't follow the current ratings of Baseball, but aren't all the demographic trends leaning very heavily towards the older crowd still watching, but not growing at all with younger viewers. MLB could see having baseball game like this out to as many possible people as a positive thing, specifically with Xbox being a very US centric console. Even with the huge install base PS4 has over Xbox, in the US last I knew it was still relatively close. I'm amazed at how much Fifa got some friends of mine, and my nephews, into watching European League Soccer games. They knew the players from Fifa, and they started watching religiously due to Fifa sparking the interest. Of course this could all be bullshit, but made some sense to me.

Wonder if he would know.... I mean he doesn't state its coming to Xbox, but would he comment on it otherwise.

Yeah thats what I was leaning on. If thats the case, I cant imagine MLB actually would have forced Sony into making it multiplat, because they aren't buying an exclusive license. Maybe Sony just see's such a big potential market to sell to and is doing the smart thing.

Actually has Sony ever had an exclusive MLB license, or did no other companies bother making an MLB game other than The Show really? Do those cheap RBI series have MLB License?

Thats interesting. I wonder if it was a stipulation from the MLB to get the rights. Doesn't seem like a very Sony thing to do. Also wonder if it'll extend to Xbox, or maybe just like PC.

Bought and dont know a thing about it... better not disappoint.... when I finally get around to playing it in 5 years

It wasn't hard at all even at this difficulty. A few hours in, once I hit 5 stims and extra Skills unlocked, I felt pretty OP.

Explore a lot. Getting extra stims, and more xp for the Skills helps a ton.

Who's firing up Fortnite to see it?

So you've finally grown out of Story mode? Haha The progression of powers and skills felt great in the game.

Seems more legit

I dont think Project Scarlett games are going to be compatible to the Xbox One skus. Xbox One games will play on Xbox Scarlett, but I have never seen them claim Xbox Scarlett is going to play on Xbox One.

I don't really know much about development or graphics engines, but can't you have basically the same bells and whistles graphically, just with different resolutions to bring down demand pretty substantially from a hardware standpoint. Like running a game at 4k60 vs 1080p60 would mean the hardware needs to be 4x more powerful? If you don't care at all about 4k, or 1440p, , can't you play even some of the most demanding PC games out today at 1080p 60 on a mid to low range graphics card? Aren't the higher end cards primarily to push higher resolutions. If their focus this time around is on Frame-rates over Resolutions, would the 4 to 10 terraflop or whatever difference make a huge difference? These are questions cause I am clueless on all this, and am genuinely curious.

Ya $200 is obviously lowballing it, as I think the Xbox Digital Only launched at like $250? I just think if they are serious about getting some marketshare back from the console only crowd, having lower points of entry is really the only play. I think most assume Anaconda and PS5 will be $500, so maybe a $300 option. One thing I've noticed playing more PC is most everyone I know is playing 1080p and medium or lower settings on pretty high end hardware for the performance gains. Once you leave the realm of console fanboyism its amazing how little people seem to care or even know about 4k and all that. They seem to want 1080p at the most frames.

I mean if they can launch next gen with a $200ish pricepoint to be able to play Halo Infinite, 100+ Game Pass games, ect. then I cant imagine it being a terrible strategy. Think of all those that wait years to jump into a next generation due to price and library. They will have the Sub/Payment plan for the Premier System, then the cheap priced entry level option. Knowing PS5 is gonna be back compatible and with how big an install base it has, they really need to have a viable reason to switch to or buy Xbox. A low barrier of entry on price to play Next Gen games could be it.

CPU is the big roadblock on the current hardware. The newer cpu should definitely correct the issues with framerates. Itll be a 1080p machine but at better framerates.

That was a Bonus Scene on Amazon X-Ray during Season 1, not a Trailer for Season 2. The scene of young Homelander that is.

Well one was a huge release from a AAA Publisher, one was a smaller release small budget game. One game comes with big expectations, one comes with expectations of a smaller budget game. One is coming on the heels of Fallout 76, where basically anything that is not Fallout 76 in the same genre, sticking to a single player focused story as opposed to what Fallout 76 tried, is going to be much better received. I haven't played Outer Worlds yet. I did play Fallout 4, and hell, I bought Fallout 76. I personally thought Fallout 4 was a letdown. I really loved Fallout 3 and it's DLCs. I played Fallout 4 and was left pretty let down. The world didn't feel at all interesting to me. Being a native of the Boston area, it never felt Boston to me at all. I know Boston isn't as unique as a DC might be, but it just never felt like an interesting map or area to explore. The story I felt was never enough to really drive me as well. I liked it enough to play through all of it, but just never felt it was as good as Fallout 3. Fallout 76 I enjoyed for what it was, but ultimately had too many issues to really ignore. I look forward to trying Outer Worlds as well. But I think its pretty easy to see why one was so well received vs the other. I don't even think it has much to do with the games themselves, so much as a Bethesda AAA powerhouse vs Obsidian who was largely independent until recently. Most of what I've read about Outer Worlds was, it was a good game that you can clearly feel was a low budget project, and many look forward to see what they do with a proper budget.

I hardly ever play through a game a 2nd time, unless its been a real long time before a sequel. Most games I'll buy DLC's for with intentions to play it, but once I move on from a game, I find it very hard to go back to it. Single player games at least.

100% a 4/10 game makes sense.
