Guerrilla Play Writes: Seems like Microsoft is pulling another "Microsoft move" in such a way only they are capable of. I must admit folks i am a little worried about the state and future of the Xbox. Since E3 '09 all Microsoft has been focused on is Kinect and the shovelware movement. With nothing new announced on the horizon for their "core" my cause for concern warranted.
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.
use all their resources to promote kinect and shovelware to the casuals
but from where im standing it seems that with the avatars and dashbord update of last year to the total slowdown of titles other than kinect stuff it seems like their target has now shifted towards the casuals and super casuals. Add that to the fact that they only kept rare and have less studios than they started the gen with and it doesn't look as good as it did back in 07. Even the most ardent 360 supporter should acknowledge this. Of course its not all doom n gloom and the 360 brand should be here to stay as they've made gaming interesting but the same people who used to make comments about there being 'no game' on the ps3 must now feel a little cheated and dumb now.
Expect to pay a lot for Xbox live in the future.
How Far Will Microsoft Go To Make A Buck?
About as far as any sensible BUSINESS.
They are in it to make money after all, for them and their shareholders, just like every other big blue chip company out there.
Profit is King and there is nothing wrong with that.
very far. . .
