Well, now we know why MS didn't advertise it.

It's a pretty tech demo, just like I said it would be, Its the Xbox's "The Order: 1886"; or, this gen of Xbox's "Ryse: Son of Rome"

It did score lower than I thought (I predicted 7-8).

7 years for this tech demo 🤣

According to Ninja Theory, it was in development for less than 5 years.

Still, it is just a tech demo, IMO. It's the best looking console "game" available. But, walking for 45 minutes is not a video game, IMO.

@Jag85: MS's net worth: $3.12 trillion

Sony's net worth: $103.37 billion

MS's cash reserves: $80b. However, last year it was 113b. Sorry, I don't follow the ticker every day.

Still, don't act like they are close to being similar in size.

That's not "net worth"... That's market cap. It doesn't represent how much money they actually own, but represents the amount of interest they have from shareholders on the stock market. It doesn't represent real money or assets owned by the company, but represents how much influence they have on the stock market.

The closest thing to a company's actual "net worth" is the total assets:

  • Microsoft - $470 billion
  • Sony - $229 billion

In order for Microsoft to purchase Sony, MS would have to use up their entire cash reserves in addition to selling off a third of their total assets. It would be a total waste of Microsoft's cash and assets to purchase Sony. And that's only if the Japanese government doesn't block the purchase, as Japan has Sony on its list of companies protected from foreign buyouts.

Bruh.

@hardwenzen: Umm... go check my past posts. I have never hyped this game. In fact, I have repeatedly said I had little to no interest in playing it.

@SolidGame_basic: Considering Microsoft is the biggest company in the world, and could buy Sony with their cash reserves, I'd say Xbox.

@tdkmillsy: IDK, I tried HD 2, and I'd rather play it than Fallout 4

@davillain: I labeled it that.

I don't like walking sims, either.

I disliked the first game.

@davillain: I don't like movie games, regardless of who makes them and for what platform.

That being said, I smell a big time flop here...

Score flop or sales/engagement flop?

I think it will be very pretty, but very short; with little replay value. 7 or 8/10, high 70s MC score.
