Gears of War on PlayStation, Helldivers 2 on Xbox. Is the Cold War finished?

How many times have we said in recent years that. However, it would end like this? However, The process had already been underway for some time. Furthermore, but for fans the truth was too hard to accept and often replied by firming little professionalism, or incompetence, those who tried to tell him the inevitable future.

Future that has already been done in part present. Consequently, that on August 26 will take a further step forward with the arrival of Gears of War su PlayStation gears war playstation, helldivers 2 5 ed Helldivers 2 su Xbox S/X.

PlayXbox – Gears war playstation, helldivers 2

Seeing the Microsoft Game Studios games on PlayStation is no longer a novelty. Consequently, but this opening had not yet concerned what are the greatest flags in the Xbox, Halo and Gears world. Meanwhile, What will arrive on PlayStation. Similarly, beyond, is not a new game, but the Reloaded/remastered version of the first adventure of Marcus Fenix, so it is an operation in a lower tone but equally capable of making a certain noise. For example, Gears of War is a game that in Europe. Therefore, much more than Halo, has characterized the best years of Xbox, and seeing it on PlayStation cannot fail to hit because it is the impossible that becomes reality, in all respects an event. Consequently,

Helldivers 2 on Xbox is instead an absolute first time: for the series, for developers and for PlayStation come publisher su una console Microsoft. MLB The Show. the baseball game developed by the San Diego Studios of Sony, has already come to Xbox for some time, but published by others, Destiny was already there when Sony bought Bungie. In the case of Helldivers 2. however, we will witness a direct publication and not a sports title and enough niche, gears war playstation, helldivers 2 but of a record experience. Helldivers 2 is the game that has sold the most copies in the shortest time in the history of. PlayStation: twelve million copies in twelve weeks. The merit of these numbers go above all to Steam. it is in fact on PC that “reside” most of its players.

Zero differences

MLB was just a sportsman. Helldivers 2 is still an online game, the ports of the most famous playstation studios adventures arrive yes on PC, but after how long? The apologies accumulate And it becomes more. more difficult for fans not to see what is before everyone’s eyes: in this phase, exclusivity has become damage and not only for the weak sales of Xbox, the same also applies to the very popular Playstation which clearly alone can no longer guarantee the hoped for gears war playstation, helldivers 2 income and made necessary by years of crazy expenses.

Exclusive could return to being important only if the consoles are transformed into streaming serviceswhich is very likely. allowing users to switch from one ecosystem to another as if you go from Netflix to Disney Plus and without having to spend five hundred and passes euros for a new hardware. From this point of view we cannot even blame today’s audience. to believe it less passionate than that of the times that were: not only economically the current situation is not comparable with that of twenty or thirty years ago, but in those days buy a second console gave you access to a completely different game sample. Between Megadrive. SNES and PC the difference was total, while between Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 you see it only in a handful of titles of which, in all sincerity, you can gears war playstation, helldivers 2 very well do without.

A new season?

Also for this reason. in recent years many video games of video games have moved to PC, where sooner or later, net of Nintendo, everything flows. An audience fleeing console that. must be said, are increasingly expensive, hostile, limiting and that often the new generations don’t even consider the advantage especially of the mobile sector. In the meantime, fans dream of Steammachine 2.0. discuss new Xbox with mouse, keyboard and all the games in circulation, and those who have more than forty years all on the shoulders everything sounds more or less vaguely like a Commodore Amiga, an Atari ST, dangerously out of time.

However the future goes, from August 26 the world of video games will symbolically deport weapons. Perhaps the cold war that has distinguished the medium probably from its birth: Atari. Intellivision, Commodore or ZX Spectrum, certainly definitively ends. Nintendo and SegaPlayStation e Xbox.

Consequently. a new season opens, we hope even more accessible and horizontal, playful and peaceful, solid and courageous, than what we are about to leave behind.
