NiOh could come on Xbox One according to Koei Tecmo: "You just gotta show us you want it"

[Lant_War]

This is from a few days ago, but it just blow up on Spanish media. Whenever we see this "you gotta show us you want this!" it's because they're already working on something, so chances are there's already a port in the works.

 

[wondermagenta]

Never got super far into Nioh on my base PS4, getting a chance to play it on the X might make me doubke dip.

 

[Abriael]

"anything's possible" is literally a non-answer.

You're reading too much into it.

 

[mazi]

interesting, i thought sony was involved with the project financially

 

[FiXalaS]

Cant believe this is said to something that isn't Nintendo's.

 

[Kromeo]

They were involved with the marketing I think, it already came to PC though

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I think they had a deal for a timed-exclusivity.

They localised the game so it could be released worldwide simultaneously.

This. And I think they said the same nonsense when the game first came out. Hayashi is pro Japan and never liked the Xbox brand. So don't ever expect this game to be released for any Xbox console.

ok in that case it's not impossible, i thought they partially funded the game and got console exclusivity.

 

[LifeLine]

Show us you want it by buying Crackdown 3

 

[TheGhost]

How do we show that we want it if you don't release it? This PR bullshit non answer.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Petition, social media posts, social tags... Etc..

I don't think this game would sell a lot on Xbox tbh

 

[NightLife]

Release it and I'll gladly show you. Can't buy something that doesn't exist.

 

[Bonejack]

I will never understand why some japanese pubs need to do this "Want something, beg for it" shit. You companies have highly-paid, and hopefully competent, consultants and managers ... if you see a potential ROI by porting game A to platform Y then just do it and don't stir up the internet.

Put pressure on ms to pay for the porting cost and you will get it.

People thought Monster Hunter wouldn't sell on Xbox either. But you are right though, Xbox players wouldn't buy a 3 or 4 year port of a game.

 

[Richter1887]

How would they show you then?

 

[Hours Left]

Have you ever met Capcom?

Monster Hunter has a legion of fans literally everywhere regardless of platform

 

[tomofthepops]

I would never take something that a regional account posts as fact and didn't team ninja say last year to a media member that they should ask Sony if nioh 2 is exclusive ?

 

[Wing Scarab]

Monster Hunter has a legion of fans literally everywhere regardless of platform

And yet people still thought the game was going to flop on the Xbox One.

Exactly. You're likely looking at something written by a social media dude with zero visibility on the company's plans.

"anything is possible" is the social media lingo for "I don't know, but I'll let you have some hope."

I'm happy to see third party games on as many platforms as possible, but if anyone thinks this says anything relevant, I see a delusion there.

people thought the same for nier automata and it seemed to do well

 

[Principate]

How would they show you then?

Clearly by port begging. Don't you just love it when companies ask consumers to beg for the oppotunity to buy their products.

 

[silva1991]

I'm honestly surprised it isn't on Xbox already.

 

[Raide]

Yeah sign me up. 4k console Nioh would be nice.

 

[KainXVIII]

How well?

 

[mazi]

How well?

i don't think there's numbers but there was a thread here about it doing well on the xbox most played chart

 

[cw_sasuke]

Translation :

They want Phil Spencer to "visit" them.

Sounds about right haha. Someone tweet Phil.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Xbox one users need to pass the "test", too.

 

[TheGhost]

They are already talking to Japanese devs to get games ported over. That's on them not on me.

 

[Gnorman]

It would sell better on switch than xbox.

 

[Raide]

MS should get a deal for Game Pass. Would be huge.

 

[Carlius]

Lol Nah don't even bother, it's an overrated game that doesn't even do a third of what dark souls does. I had no idea it never came out for Xbox lol.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Cant believe this is said to something that isn't Nintendo's.

Same lmao

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Barf. Do your own marketing.

 

[FiXalaS]

Have you ever met Capcom?

Yes.

What makes you think it wouldn't do well? Team Ninja games have always done well on Xbox. Action Games and Souls-like games are also very popular on Xbox.

 

[crazillo]

Nioh and Yakuza are the two series that really deserve to be on Xbox - both would be a much better fit for the platform than many other Japanese titles.

 

[Golvellius]

MS should get a deal for Game Pass. Would be huge.

Yes, very good idea.

 

[Snakeeee]

That is a terrible way to run a company.

Since when was it the customers job to convince the company we want to buy their product? Next you'll tell me they expect us to pay them too.

 

[ZhugeEX]

This tweet doesn't deserve a thread. It's hardly an official position of the company and just something the social media manager is saying to generate interest.
