Sony has a better software ecosystem and tools. Not to mention better developers. Outside of the Forza teams and Coalition, Microsoft doesn't have any technically top tier studios.
PlayStation Showcase 2023
- Thread starter Shortbread
- Start date
id software. Doom Eternal is a great game and a gem of technology.
Unless I missed some news the acquisition is currently blocked? But yes they are top tier.
Did I miss STALKER 2, Amnesia: The Bunker, Robocop: Rogue City, Paranoid, Fort Solis, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and System Shock Remake? 
But yeah I would be onboard for this game.
I see Max Payne.

Nope. That completed two years ago. Id software and all of Bethesda and Zenimax has been part of Microsoft for over two years now. Finished in March 2021.
Lots of people played halo , forza horizon , grounded and other games from MS. System seems to be selling pretty well.
I hope it isn't a battle royale game. Also, it's crazy to think that Microsoft let the IP go with Bungie. They kept Halo, but allowed Bungie to take Marathon with them.
It's crazy to think the best game I've played this year was a Doom .wad
It's not a Battle Royale! ... it's an extraction shooter. So chasing the new trend that hasn't really taken off. Tarkov is the only really successful extraction shooter that I know of, and no one else has really made a dent. It won't have a single-player story mode. Purely multiplayer.
In terms of what I've played around recently, it's been a mix of "indie" stuff, and some AAA filler. Some really good indie stuff like Ember Knights, Zero Sievert, Somerville, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Ravenswatch seems cool (it's in early access ... really early). Ship of Fools was pretty fun. Messed with Cosmoteer a bit, V Rising, Project Zomboid, Death's Door. I've got a wishlist of "indie" games that are calling to me (Phantom Brigade, Crab Champions, River City Girls 2, The Last Spell, Dredge, Bread & Fred, Boltgun)
... but I literally stooped to playing League of Legends (fuck me), Fifa (
) and a Fortnite no-build (I actually like it). Warhammer Darktide lasted a few days until I knew it was a dead end. In terms of big budget games, nothing is calling out to me, unless you count Returnal.

gross. Sorry, I mean Gross. Capital G.
wait is that guy at 0:52 Max Payne?
Infamous Second Son looked miles better and that was at the beginning of PS4's lifespanStolen from Gaf, but yes, SM2 looks bad. As I stated before, the Venom costume looks horrible. That last shot is mobile game worthy.
Yeah, Spider-Man 2 does not look anywhere near as impressive as I was expecting.
Lots of pop-in too as you travel fast.
I mean, don't get me wrong, overall it's still a lot better in many ways that Spidey 1 and Miles Morales... but just not what I expected. The symbiote suit looks awful. It just looks like low res textures lol

I mentioned how the UE5 engine has spoiled us, and hopefully Microsoft's show will give us a better look (graphically) into the future of gaming for this current generation. I hope Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and a few other UE5 titles show-up.

If immortals of whatsitsface was anything to go by, not even Nanite /Lumen can save game shows from visual disappointment.
It's 60 fps though.
It’s Sam Lake and they have the max Payne voice actor, James McCaffrey, so maybe?
