MS porting Hi-Fi Rush would be odd considering it flys in the face of a few things they said, but if it bumps player numbers and sales enough to justify a sequel im all for it.

NateDrake: A critically acclaimed Xbox 1st party title will come to a competitor platform in 2024 (UP: WC says more titles could be ported as well)
- Thread starter LightKiosk
- Start date
That doesn't mean GOTY conversation, nor being in the TGA shortlist does, since they have to choose 6 anyway. Pentiment won around 0,7% of the GOTY awards and HiFi Rush haven't one a single one so far AFAIK, that's not being in the "GOTY conversation" unless you want to make a clickbait title for attention.
I think you meant Pentiment won a couple of GOTYs, still, see above.

HFR has won several major awards this year. I don't see any point in trying to devalue that. Several outlets have given it extreme props, and just because it hasn't won as many awards as BG3, TOTK or AW2 should not negate the fact that the press really liked it. I think it absolutely counts as a "GotY" contender, even if it released in an UNGODLY crowded year with three extremely high-profile competitors that soaked up most of the attention.
I thought in the FTC court case either in the documents or publicly stated they don't see the switch as a direct competitor ?
"The year it released" makes it sound less likely to be something from 2023, as why wouldn't you just say a "1st party GotY candidate" instead. Weird wording which to me, implies it's an older title.
Hi-Fi Rush to Switch seems obvious if that's simply an awkward way of saying last year.

Whice ones? I mean GOTY awards since that's what the title says, not category awards.
Of course not, i'm pretty sure people liked it, but being relevant in the GOTY conversation? If we get this loose, we have 50 games in the GOTY conversation this year. There are 3 games in the GOTY conversation this year, with a clear title holder.
I think I had missed that comment amidst all the other hubbub at the time. That's exciting. Give me Doom Year Zero on my Switch 2.
Turns out it's Oblivion on PS5 and Switch.
Edit: Even better, Morrowind.
I've said since day one that'd be perfect on Switch considering...
I'm pretty curious where the (Virtuos) Oblivion remaster lands tbh.
I will be so happy to see Hi-Fi Rush find a new audience and get more peeps playing it. Favorite Xbox game. Can't wait to replay it if the rumors are true, that it's indeed being ported. :)
"no one should feel like they deserve to have them on their platform of choice"
Is this anti-port begging logic?
But I feel like I deserve to have HFR on my Switch and PC, my platforms of choice.
Also, I'm excited to see it on Switch, hopefully it runs well. Glad more people get to play it.
The Oblivion remaster would unironically make sense for this title, none of this HiFi Rush and Pentiment nonsense.
???
How are they nonsense? The rumor doesn't specify the size of the title, just that it was highly regarded and those two titles were just that.
Oblivion coming to other consoles wouldn't be odd but it arguably makes less sense for this specific rumor as
1. It hasn't even been officially revealed
2. It's only an "Xbox Exclusive' in hindsight and not at the time of original release and I kind of doubt Nate would put that many loops into this.
Youre counting your chickens before the eggs hatch, I wouldnt be so sure its Hi-Fi Rush.
How is HiFi Rush (0 GOTY awards) and Pentiment (4 GOTY awards from small publications. Elden Ring had 435) in the GOTY conversation? Oblivion at least is a game developed by a 1st party studio and won most of the GOTY awards of its year. If it's HiFi Rush or Pentiment the title is honestly just clickbait. And no i obviously don't think it's Oblivion.
I trust the leaker just because he leaked Persona 3 Reload months and months before. If it isn't HFR, ooh well. It just seems like a really good fit for Switch.
I think you're getting too hung up on that one aspect as just being nominated counts as being part of the conversation.
A conversation is just the consideration of certain titles. Would be different if he said "GOTY AWARD WINNER" which isn't the case.
Honestly more than Persona I trust them for leaking Xbox Taiko game, that's the kinda shit someone wouldn't have thought to make up lol

I think it would be perfectly fine saying "critical acclaimed" game, but then it wouldn't have the same weight without throwing the word "GOTY" in the mix.
I don't even know how to respond to this since the game was already released on PC and is rumored to hit the switch. So good for you, I guess.
Contender =/= Winner. We could have a loooong back-and-forth about what a game has to do to be considered a GOTY contender, but I wouldn't bat an eye at anyone claiming HiFi was one last year. The game's OT was full of people saying as much.
Honestly, that is a better point, who would have thought of that turning out true. I'm biased because I loved P3 on the PS2 (obviously). So seeing the rumor turn out true made them the best leaker ever in my book, up their with CBOAT.
I'm like the only one who'd love Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts on Switch, despite its initial reception, and I have it and honestly love it on Xbox! Hell, if they push the Tears of the Kingdom comparisons, it could legit break out... maybe. Bonus points if they include a classic model mode that makes Banjo and all other veterans their Nintendo era designs.
Seems like it is HFR to Nintendo, then, and Nate's wording was to purposefully throw people off from 2023. Again, lmao at people who continue to say Forza Horizon 5, Halo, Gears, and even Starfield despite Nate saying nothing on that level, or people saying Xbox is going more multiplatform despite him saying that this is non indicative of a multiplatform push but their usual case but case MO.
HFR to Switch with a physical edition is a genius move considering Nate said the sequel will be fully exclusive.
Why does everyone keep getting MS mixed up with Sony? Sony was the one hellbent on making it seem that Switch wasn't a competitor so MS putting games on Switch "wasn't important." Sony made up the "high-definition market" to purposefully exclude the Switch.

I was hoping for a little more spice! Hifi Rush just for switch doesn't seem like that big a deal. Makes sense really.
To be fair, I imagine that's kinda the point.
At this rate, Microsoft will probably never willingly just put their big AAA stuff like Halo or Gears on Switch or other platforms like that, it seems their Nintendo support (besides the obvious Minecraft and now even COD because of the Activision deal) is mostly limited to smaller stuff like Ori and even old Rare games on NSO, so Hi-Fi Rush definitely fits in with that.
Oh for sure. I guess the way Nate talked about it annoying some xbox fans I though it was going to be a much bigger deal. Hifi Rush for Switch seems reasonably harmless and I can't imagine it annoying too many having issues with it.
Too many people were getting hung up on that quote when Nate is correct. Check Reddit and social media now and you see people getting pissed that HFR might come to Switch. I think people underestimate what "diehards" refer to.
That was Sony. 👇
Hi-Fi Rush is not on Xbox One, so it would be on the Nintendo Switch successor if a port happens at all. I would be all for that just so we can get a proper multimedia push going forward.
Oh I'm sorry, you are right.
Ah gotcha. Thank you for clarifying. Got who said what mixed up.
Yeah, I thought it would be nothing news but I was wrong. Just in this forum, some reasonable xbox fans (or so I thought) are panicking over it.
Nate said in the GOTY conversation. HFR was most definitely in the GOTY conversation.
The awards thread has really particular rules about what "qualifies" for being listed as a "win". That thread is not an arbiter for what the actual GotY conversation for the year was, or is, like.
Nah, with the way Nate worded it he's definitely right about it upsetting the "hardcore", and one person who was annoyed about it and has half come around says that a "fair exchange for all involved" would be Bayonetta 2 and 3 to Xbox in exchange for Hi-Fi Rush for Switch but outside of that it is a big no, and others are echoing that it should go both ways or the Xbox ecosystem is devalued.
