Support NeoGAF

[ChiefDada]

Hello Maskless Ones,

We are thrilled to be a few weeks away from Enotria: The Last Song launching digitally on PC and PlayStation 5 on September 19th, 2024. We’re also very excited to have physical PlayStation 5 editions coming a few months later.

Enotria has been a passion project of ours for years, and we cannot wait to see you bring the fight to the Authors to put a finite end to the twisted eternal play, Canovaccio.

But even in the beautifully detailed world of Enotria, there is bound to be some darkness.

Unfortunately, at this time, we have to announce an indefinite delay of the Xbox version.

We understand how disappointing this news is to the Xbox community. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts and the hard work of our dedicated team, we’ve encountered challenges that have delayed our release on the Xbox platform. We want to emphasize that this is not a decision we’ve made lightly.

We apologize for any disappointment this may cause and sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience. As a self-published indie studio, your support means everything to us, and we are dedicated to bringing Enotria to as many players as possible.

We thank you for your continued support and understanding. We cannot wait to see you dive into the game on September 19th, 2024 on PC and PlayStation 5!

Wasnt there a post recently with another indie team postponing the xbox release due to some internal bs they had to deal with in order to publish the game on xbox? Wonder if its a similar issue.

Oh no .. another stealth money hat from sony without marketing ... those fuckers

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Another asshole dev. If only there was a super blogger willing to chase the truth and unmask the slimy platforms things behind all these xbox skiiiips

[Kurotri]

Fuckin Xbox, man

 

[Luipadre]

Its so sad that ps has literally 0 competition, what a turd gen this is

[Luipadre]

Summer souls There was a demo few months ago, its actually pretty good, but a bit janky

 

[ChiefDada]

That's what Larian and Game Science said when they saw Series S wasn't up to the task.

 

[rm082e]

As a Souls fan, this looks like it could be cool.

Damn you Sony

Does anyone remember the famous Quantum Error strategy to promote games that no one cares about????

7 months ago: "We have had to make the decision to postpone the launch of the XSeries version".

Threads and threads of news and forums talking about an indi game that no one knows about thanks to console wars.

4 months ago: "We have a new trailer and the XSX version is released again on day one with PS5 and PC."
Nobody, no media or forum spoke about this and the game trailer went completely unnoticed.

Today: "We're sorry, but today we announced that the XSX version is delayed again indefinitely with just a few weeks left before the launch... but hey guys !!! We announce a physical version for PS5"

Many media and forums will once again talk about the game that no one cares about thanks to the console war.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

PlayStation 5 existing causes this

 

[M1chl]

 

[Sooner]

Xbox


It's another console. Once was a major player in the industry.

 

[Darkkahn]

Due to an exclusivity deal.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Edit: Just read the announcement, I'd imagine this is a Series S performance issue? What else could it possibly be?

 

[Tsaki]

Those damn Sony engineers.........

Games don't sell on Xbox. I can't blame devs for wanting to avoid Xbox at this point in time

Series S and Gamepass is hurting them

 

[Aion002]

A really bad game.

I love souls games, I even finished the original Lords of the Fallen, which is terrible... But I couldn't finish this game demo.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

I was actually looking forward to it on Xbox too. Wukong is next

 

[Physiognomonics]

Another UE5 game having "challenges" on Xbox Series consoles. Soon devs won't even bother to release their games on Xbox.

 

[Darsxx82]

Of course you've seen it. They have announced the game in XSX and its subsequent delays like 3 times already... It was the only way for people to know about their game.

The funniest thing is that after so many times people still don't remember the game itself

 

[jroc74]

Welp, this is not the kind of trend MS wants..

 

[TVexperto]

Paul Tassi and Jez right now:

please explain?

 

[ChiefDada]

Who wants to make this thread lol

I would totally do this if I was responsible for marketing of a smaller game that 99,9% of gamers never heard of.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

who?

 

[RodriGames40]

Another one... Next year will be a bloodbath at this rate with so many "true" current gen games.

 

[Three]

I see the sour grapes response is already in full swing.

Ok? Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Bottom line, whatever is going on with Xbox MS needs to handle this ASAP. Surprise hits being delayed on Xbox are one thing...but the day a notable game is delayed for....reasons.....

 

[Skifi28]

Sony can't keep getting away with this!

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Possibly the first true thing he's ever said

 

[Ozriel]

Any moment now, Rockstar’s gonna cancel GTA 6. Won’t sell

 

[TheRaidenPT]

 

[Luipadre]

Lmao wtf are they doing over there?

 

[StereoVsn]

Edit: Just read the announcement, I'd imagine this is a Series S performance issue? What else could it possibly be?

They figured out that it would cost them another $50K to launch on Xbox but folks on Xbox don’t launch games.

But yeah, probably memory issue on XSS.

Edit: NVM, it’s a fuckup on Xbox developer management side it seems.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Played the demo and it was a pretty solid Souls like. A bit janky, but hopefully the devs have been ironing out most of the flaws from the feedback of the demo. Kinda weird it's skipping Xbox. Doesn't seem to be a particularly demanding game for Series S to handle. Maybe the dev team is stretched thin and they need PC and PS5 to be as polished as possible.

EDIT: Saw the post earlier. Seems to be Xbox management. What a bunch of clown shoes.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Lmao wtf are they doing over there?

I don't even think they know what is going on, heck at this stage they are recreating a whole new strategy....

 

[Darsxx82]

Well, it is the strategy of "Bread for today and hunger for tomorrow."

It's the biggest red flag you can find as a user. Generally it serves to sell a few more games, but if the game turns out to be bad, the Studio's reputation will plummet and its future will have its days numbered.
