Microsoft Going Commando for Next Generation: New I.P. hinted?

Split-screen.com writes "Maybe the title is a bit absurd but it aptly describes Microsoft's enthusiasm to carry forward the fruits of hard labor sown by its entertainment division specifically sprouted by the Xbox division. Gamasutra has been running quite a number of Microsoft advertisements pointing not only to the next generation for the company but towards the already know new internal studio titled "Spawnpoint" taking the helm that was once presumably occupied by Bungie for its coveted Halo series. The posts range from Project Manger, art director to senior development engineer."

Pizzagaki thinks this could be the metal gear style game MS said they would make.

Twenty bucks says it's a shooter. Anyone care to take me on that bet? You must have Paypal. Send me a PM. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6356d ago

Lot of shooters on the PS3 latley

El_Colombiano6356d ago

LO FREAKING L! $20 pair of shoes? Daddy seems cheap!

Sarick6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Could be a version of home.

Probably named World or Universe. << one up *make it sound bigger.*

BattleAxe6355d ago

Actually, by going Commando they are probably thinking of leaving the processor exposed without a casing so that RRoD doesn't happen again. ;)

LMAO! Absurd title indeed! I don't know if you know, but in the UK at least, this title would suggest that Microsoft are going to go without underpants next generation... (Was also the case with Ratchet & Clank 2, though that name, I presume, was intentional. It was changed in EU for that very reason)

caladbolg7776356d ago

Same in the States. "Going commando" implies that you aren't wearing boxers/briefs/panties under your leggings.

SL1M DADDY6356d ago

My wife likes it that way. ;-)

With Halo 4 and Gears 3 as launch titles???

Yes please!

By then the 360 will be 6 years old! It would have had a good run, and no doubt M$ will continue to support it for a year or so after the launch of the 720...

Sony say their consoles are for 10 years...

The PS2 is 8 years old, but come on!! who wants to play on old gen hardware NOW?
What a stupid thing for sony to say.

So while the PS3rd (if it still exists by then - cause we all know the company is in trouble...) will be 5 years old, the 720 will pop in, and suddenly reduce its graphics to slag.

you know, we might end up seeing stagnated leaps in next-gen...

So from this point on, the Xbox's and Playstations will never launch together again...

ForROME6356d ago

this article was so misleading lol, also made little ripples in the water=Fail

prowiew6356d ago

Spawnpoint? I never heard of is existance.

Megatron086356d ago

I guess words like "new" and "start up" are just to big for you

prowiew6356d ago

I mean that the article says the already know studio spawnpoint and it is the first time I hear this studio.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

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.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12522d ago (Edited 22d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

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.
