Tempted to get this, but my PS5 PRO is arriving and now I'm in the dilemna of figuring out which version is the best on Xbox Series X or PS5 Pro.

Digital Foundry is likely slammed for all the PS5 Pro videos they're making but I really need to see a comparison between the PS5 and Xbox Series X to determine which one is worth getting.
 
Kojima now fully owns the IP. I suspect they regained the IP as part of the deal for PHYSINT which we know is being co-developed with Sony, they probably see more value in a trans media Metal Gear successor (And I totally agree)
It probably involves a DS2 timed exclusive time for Playstation which honestly sucks for every other platform.

Can someone sell me on this game? What I've seen previously is that it's package-carrying simulator with a very weird story. What makes it a must-play today?

First Decima game running on Xbox hardware.

Will be interesting to see how it performs.

For some reason I really thought this already existed on Xbox lol maybe because on pc it uses the "Impulse Triggers" on xbox controller, it's the only game I ever played that used this feature.

Wow this was a surprise! Go play it Xbox Bros, the man figured out how to make walking/delivery fun. The way actual gameplay and story elements relate to how you are actually feeling in the real world as you play is so good.
 
Everyone buy this masterpiece you heathens.

As inflammatory as this may sound, this is most definitely not a release/title for the usual MS/Xbox crowd mate - I can already see the 1-star reviews on the Xbox store with gems like "LOL what is this ?"/"LOL NOT EVEN A REAL GAME"/"HAHA KOJIMA IS A HACK"/"WALKING SIM LOOOL".
This was already a divisive game on the PS ffs, imagine it being on Xbox where most of the users' attention span has dropped to that of a hamster due to Game pass and the need/dopamine rush for the the "new game of the week" only to played for 15 minutes max as to go to the next, even newer/shinier title.

It is what it is unfortunately

20 bucks sounded good to me. Downloading now. Got my Pro coming today. Then it’s Final Fantasy Rebirth baby!

Hope Xbox gamers will buy the game as it's great. Xbox gamers if you want more multiplatform releases on your console then show the devs it's worth the time/effort to releases on the console by opening your wallets and giving them your money don't wait for them to be put up on Game pass just go and buy the games.

Fuck yes, this is amazing news to wake up to and truly out of nowhere. Death Standing was far and away the most enviable exclusives the PS4 had and a bright spot of last generation. I've already got my completed copy on PS4 but I will definitely be double dipping to show support for this. Especially since it's the directors cut this time.

Happy days!!!

Get the game for the platform that is your primary. If that's Xbox, then get it there. If the best version factor is that important, is DS a Pro enhanced game?

Not too fussed since at least the second is exclusive and the first is 5 years old. And at least Xbox players have to pay for it, no Gamepass bullshit.

Why would you be fussed at all, it’s a video game.

Anyway, pass. Own it on PS5 and it sucks. I’ll try it again at some point because I am sure the story is phenomenal. A shame about the gameplay.

Im one of the 3 people that bought the MS Store version of OG DS and I am disappointed that I don't get any additional discount, for shame Kojima. I will purchase this but will make an angry face while doing it.
