If the intent of that graphic display of BC games was to wow us with the sheer number of games they will support then it's actually deceptive. That's the actual definition of the word.
Probably because it was. Msft isn't used to doing gamescom and with both e3 and GC only a few weeks apart it can only feel like a run off rather than a standalone production.
I wonder about studios developing crack down - regant games a new studio that really haven't released anything (it's good that it's helmed by jones) the team is also made of ex Real time which is good as they did the original and not ruffian that did the awful crackdown 2. And also supported by sumo that largely does game ports like Disney infinity and fora horizon for 360.
Ex realtime devs need to prove they still got it after the fiasco with All points bulletin ...
It was okay, nothing earth shattering.
Wrong, it's all about opportunity cost. When 360 was more popular in America activision could be happy with $20 million (arbitrary number) to exclusive DLC for a month. However since the ps4 is 2:1 to Xbox 1 the opportunity cost is significantly higher for MS meaning the price could be now $40 million (arbitrary number) for activision to even consider going with Xbox.
With Sony proving with destiny activision sees a win-win in partnering with Sony on COD and probably off...
I work at a corporate company and no decision is truly made by one guy. Typically it's guys like Phil spencer, Harrison, etc... that pitches an idea to don mattrick and a decision is made as a whole and executed with everyone's buy-in. To think don mattrick came up with the DRM idea and strong armed the leadership team at Xbox (Phil spencer) is truly a naive thing to believe.
Don mattrick, a guy who founded a game studio at age 17 and would go on to make some of most...
Let's be honest here, the reason why black tusk or whatever it's call now is doing a remaster of gears is so it can get some experience as its a brand new spanking studio despite being existence for several years. Microsoft kibosshed their first game codname "Shanghai" something... And told them to become a gears of war studio.
Let's say per scoring definition 343 is a "good" studio but still not a "great" studio until it hits those t...
Yep meant halo 4.
To those that disagree, let's be frank here 343 is a "B" tier team and still haven't reached top tier "A" status where everything they touch turns gold with metacritic scores in the 9s.
True or false (agree or disagree)?
Halo 3 Recieved the lowest score in the numbered series and had the fast drop off in multiplayer the franchise has ever seen with criticism.
MCC a series of remasters suffers from crippling issues in the multiplayer that has persisted over 9 months after release.
343 is now turning halo 5 into a COD Pop-and-run clone and the franchise's fan base is angry..
Yea sure their batting avg is stellar /s
Can't believe Microsoft is banking their halo franchise in an unproven studio like 343.
"bloodborne" - the highest rated first party exclusive to release this year.
Great news... Fan of the original.
No, according to Atlus this is a remake not a remaster/enhancement.
The poor DRM decisions for Xbox one were made by all at the Xbox division including Phil spencer and don mattrick.
Don actually has a gaming background starting up DSI studio at the age of 17 making game series such as Test Drive, hardball and 4D boxing before working at EA.
Phil Spencer's background is working on Microsoft money, office and encarta. he has been at Microsoft for nearly all of his adult career, while don mattrick has a vast amount of gamin...
I like how Sony just said first to ps4 for all times exclusives.. No pr doublespeak like Microsoft and Tombraider. We had to pull it out of em after the announcement.
TR isn't going to get delayed for one simple reason - Microsoft paid for holiday 2015 exclusivity (as stated using Pr speak). So one can only assume square will announce TR for other platforms like ps4 in 2016.
If Microsoft wants to push out of holiday schedule the impact of exclusivity will be diluted.
Don't get how it's using full Xbox one power and it dips to resolutions sub 720p and dips under 60fps. Are they making use of the extra power released from kinect?
343 still has some ways to go before coming close to filling bungies shoes. Just because they are working a major franchise like Halo doesn't mean they will get a free pass.
So per ign versus gamers pick Sony and with the game critics awards, the industry reviewers pick Sony. Seems like things are in harmony.
Yea Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 had mod support. It was Microsoft that didn't allow that on Xbox. Im sure Sony wants it on ps4 and will probably get it a few days after Xbox one. Mods won't be out until sometime next year anyway.
That is some hyperbolic statement in the title. I'm sure they said the same thing when Microsoft showed off kinect for the first time.
