This was your time to shine Microsoft, 2 sets of eyes were on you on the afternoon of May 21st. Eyes that belonged to the press who witnessed the event from the front row, with laptops on their laps, eager to write page-breaking headliners. More importantly, far away, around the globe, there were eyes which belonged to us, your long-time fans.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Its their Freedom to do whatever they want.
I don't want to be rude here but nothing. Microsoft's business practice has been the same since the launch of the 360. It decided to spend more getting timed exclusives than developing their own/ new ips. The feel that they can sell more consoles with timed exclusives deals like COD. It has worked for the most part. Its good to here 8 new ips but I am worried of those 8, 4 will be heavily Kinect based (as they spent tons developing it).
They have always been about mass market appeal without really focusing on one specific market. I don't blame them as Microsoft (the company) has its fingers in a lot of pies and bringing them together makes sense. But from a gaming perspective you do wish they focused in on us. More and more people are buying consoles (not because they can watch TV on it or do social stuff but because the games are like massive blockbuster films and have a lot of replay value. They don't need to focus on the social stuff anymore
That article somes up what I felt, its like being cheated on, then you lrt that person go have a break for a while a try something new, thisbhas happened to me, im on the break period atm, then ps4 for me, had my 360 for years and years and I still do enjoy it, but unlike sony ms will drop the 360 like it never was there a big shame.
What Happened Microsoft?
Who cares! Every negative thing was brought on by themselves for being a greedy anti consumer company at heart.
Microsoft wasnt happy with their profits... they wanted more, therefore they screwed up!
