KK, first, i want to name my 10 games. But plz give me yours too. I wana see what games ppl are hoping to see. Oh and before i get remarks on spelling etc again, I am Afrikaans, so English not my language :)
1. Intersteller Marines - yes, i cant wait to see this graphics powerhouse in actual gameplay.
2. Doom 4 - Even if Doom 3 wasnt the best, the graphics sure took gaming to the next level.
3. Half Life 3 - no, they wont show it at E3, but still, we can all dream hehe. Half Life 2 is what FPS is all about, back then.
4. Gears of War 3 - well, best series for me on the 360 = top graphics, about the best gameplay and great action.
5. Killzone 3 - Excellent graphics, amongst the best, bad gameplay and bad story though (Killzone 2). But i want to see how they can improve on the graphics...
6. Crysis 2 on consoles - want to see how the ps3 can keep up with the pc?? Though we all know pc's Crysis 2 will look the best. And i want to see if the console version can match Killzone 2.
7. GTA V - huge fan of the series and its humour and gameplay and everything else. Though this Red Dead Redemption look like the best game so far made by Rockstar, i can only guess that GTA V win even outdo GTA IV in everything. Wow, cant wait.
8. Halo Reach - To be honest, this looks like it could be the first great Halo game, and i know fanboys will hate me for saying that, but i didnt like Halo 3 at all. Halo 2 and 1 were good, but 3 was a personel dissapointment. The multiplayer was fun though. Halo Reach will be what Halo 3 should have been. Just without Master Chief, which is sad.
9. The Last Guardian - some gameplay will be nice sony. If this guys did half the job they did with Shadow of the Col. then we are sure in for a treat. Must see gameplay, so i can wet myself...
10. The next Silent Hill - As a huge fan of the series, i would like to see a new one on the way, since V (Homecoming) were the worst of the series for me so far. Can only hope they will make it great again. I just like the atmosphere in these games.
Plz, i know there is alot of games i left out - great games like: GT5, LBP 2, Rage, etc. But just give me ure top 10 games hehe.
All have a nice day.
Gamesbeat caught up with Blackley to extract some wisdom about Microsoft’s journey in games, what he thinks Sharma should do, and where gaming can go next. Part of his message is hopeful, but Blackley sees a lot of peril on the road that Microsoft is following. And it makes him worry about the future of gaming.
Sarah Bond's "Xbox everywhere" strategy and controversial "This is an Xbox" campaign have been blamed for alienating Xbox employees and failing to deliver results, with multiple sources telling they're relieved by her departure.
This adds more clarity to the situation. She was in charge of marketing so I 100% do. Believe this was her. The fact that she pissed off a lot of ppl with this campaign was interesting. The kicker she kicked you out if you questioned her moves. Sounds like a Satya move to me.
Ok when it comes to the marketing of the Xbox maybe not get rid of where Xbox is at but advertise the console, bundle 1 month of GP and have "xbox everywhere" as a side thing or just a minor thing. It's too late for Series consoles but do this with their next console. If GP is 30$ this needs to justified ASAP put all of ABK. Remake remaster popular games and put those out on the service. Have a handful of AAA games come day one even. Perma exclusivety is dead however they can be timed. The would at least give ppl a somewhat of a reason to invest. Satya will not allow permanent exclusives again.
Do I still think Xbox is dead? Depends, how much will Satya not get involved and let Asha and Matt figure something out. The more I think about it, I think Satya only really gets involved if the financials aren't lookin so hot. I think Xbox going multiplat was a result of wanting make their money back from ABK and of course raise their unreasonable and near unrealistic margins.
Anyway, things did get interesting and adds nuance just how Xbox is ran.
I’ve read that article they put out on this and it just sounds like a massive hit piece on her. They’ve basically thrown her under the bus.
I highly doubt all of this was just her idea, especially the multiplatform stuff.
Ever since the Zenimax and Activision deal all eyes have been on the Xbox department. There’s no way she’d have acted alone with decisions as big as these, Phil Spencer and Satya Nadella would have been all over this aswell, especially with them both being higher than her.
When they brought her in I thought to myself she’d be used as a scape goat and here we are.
It’s the exact same thing they did when Don Mattrick left “oh it wasn’t our idea, it was all Don, our new leader Phil Spencer is a gamer and will turn things around”.
Exactly, they always have to pin it on someone. Everything was Don Mattrick's fault before. Now everything is Sarah Bond's fault.
People act like these companies don't have focus groups, board meetings, focus testing, etc for these ideas before they hit.
They'd rather blame her rather than the product they asked her to market. How else was she going to market playing your xbox games on any device? Has anyone stopped to think that the marketing was bad because the product itself was bad?
But I don't feel sorry for her, she knew the kind of people she was working with
Would it still be a hit piece if it was actually true? If she really was behind the whole everything is an xbox... then I say they took the chance and it didnt pay off. Most companies let people go over bad decisions like that.
That's just it darth72, it more than likely isn't the truth because we know she didn't have control over everything at Xbox. That would be Phil Spencer, who has Don Mattrick's old position.
And to be fair, even he can't be blamed for everything since it's highly unlikely all this goes on without Nadella's blessing at some point
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard returns the series to its horror roots, and on the Nintendo Switch 2, you can take those frights everywhere.
Very nice list :P
LOL complaining about Killzone's controls, sigh
I thought the gameplay for Killzone 2 was superb. The story was any other shooter generic but the gameplay was stellar, specifically online!
Hell yeah, I wanna see some Doom 4, but fear we won't due to Id wanting to show off the increasingly unoriginal sounding Rage.
