Oh yeah Microsoft paid for no PS5 version, didn't they? Almost forgot about that, real shame.

Shine would not be pleased with this low-effort reviewless review zone! Glad the game looks good though.

it's a weird situation! according to wikipedia, the game is on

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Microsoft Windows
  • PlayStation 4
  • Xbox One
  • Xbox Series X/S


You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Yeah, they let them put the PS4 version out after buying them, but forbade a PS5 version. Not saying I don't get it from a business standpoint, but still lame.

But I mean there's not much else you can do when you've created an ecosystem where it literally is no longer possible for your console to have any exclusives and you're entire brand relies on the popularity of your subscription system.

And that's not really an attempt to dig, GP is fantastic.

I mean, at least it's published by Microsoft. It's better than when Sony pays other studios to not put their games on any other system.

They own Double Fine now and part funded as well as published the games. It makes sense.

Still I think this is the first exclusive from Microsofts new acquisitions (Playground doesnt count) which is quite notable.

Yep, paying for exclusivity on games that don't need to be sucks regardless.

In this case its likely that they just didnt put any resources into developing a PS5 version after Microsoft took over. Hence why its on PS4 and can be played on PS5.

They didnt even pay for exclusivitythe PS4 version will still run on a PS5they just didnt fund a PS5 native version.

Pretty reasonable tbh, you think the next Sunset Overdrive game (if it happens) will have an Xbox One version? I dont think it will.

I think they made promises on Fig or whatever to release the game on PS4, so they had to still put that version out even after getting purchased by Microsoft.

but there were no promises about a PS5 version, so thats never happening

A theoretical Sunset Overdrive 2 would not release on PS4 OR Xbone! We'd be long past last gen versions by then.

Generally the idea would be that if not for the MS purchase, it never would've gotten a Series S/X version and would've been last gen only (like many games this year have been). MS funded an upgraded version - they didn't pay for exclusivity.

Goddamn, seeing 9.5s from outlets I deeply respect like Easy Allies makes me think I need to play the original and indulge in this next. Fortunately, both are on Game Pass!

Psychonauts was great so I'm glad this will be too. I'd play rhombus of ruin if it wasn't a 300 dollar headset away. That, Batman vr and possibly accounting+ aren't really enough time sell me on vr.

Finished. Really great, and surprising given the development process.

I'm just glad they didn't rush this out - the ending is really good, unlike meat circus

I'm most of the way through the game now and I have a question - when did Raz find out that Maligula is his grandmother's sister? There was the twist that his grandma was imposter Maligula all along, and he reacts like he knew that she was grandma's sister at that point. Did I miss a scene?
