How quick gamers are to forgive Microsoft with one wink and a smile... We really are all sheep.

I think your failing to comprehend the analogy of the youth center. You sell you vision to the masses and by selling off what was built, you've effectively taken control of that vision out of the founders hands and over to another entity, whose motives are not clear at this time.

This is fact. No postulations about what FB might or not do, nor an argument that VR will survive by Other competitors.

If OR became successful on their own accord, which they ha...

Honestly its no different than going around asking for donations to build a youth center to turn around and sell it off to a multibillion dollar shopping center developer. They may say they will continue to run the center as is now, but in the future they have the ability to repurpose that building for something else. The founder gets rich off donations provided by the community. It's not illegal but there is a grey moral line there for sure.

As soon as OR sold to FB, the...

I don't think notch will make any money off Rift FB aquisition. Notch was a kick starter backer, cliff was a company investor. So cliff probably was part of the core investors making the decision to sell.

Typically venture capaitlists have to share the price of the pie with investors but OR avoided a lot of that by making the money off the backs of kick starter backers with zero strings attached. It's deffinately a shoddy move.

sold less?

The PS3 sold more despite releasing 1 year later so I don't understand your comment.

, if this was a brand new studio opened by any other publisher we wouldnt even be talking about them. Dont understand why we are giving so much visibility to a studio that has yet to prove itself is astonishing.

If this were a new studio opened by a publishers like EA or activision, who is in the business of fostering new studios and IPs, it wouldn't be getting this much attention. It's funny how people's minds work.

Yea and funnily enough this highest rated ps4 exclusive that was ported from ouya is rated higher (90) than any xbone exclusive (86) to date! Imagine that!

4327d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Titanfall now at 86 on metacritic. Still a decent score. I guess it's not what everyone hyped it up to be though .
Anytime you hype a game do much your just setting your self up for disappointment. Sometimes it's bettered to be suprised.

I'm sure Adam gets asked this often my small startup indie shops. A good way to get sonys policies some visibility in a humorous way. Bravo Adam.

For Those complaining... Something buggin ya? :)

Ps4 and wii u have to support more regions/languages at the moment. X1 not out in as many countries. Simple as that.

I think your confusing this fps competitive shooter in the vein of COD with bots thrown in a LA unreal tournament, with a moba.

Let's not make excuses for developers otherwise they will never improve the the game/series.

Wow thanks for the video. Didn't realize how dumb the AI was for the bots. He kicked and killed 6 bots in a row Odd that he rarely ran into a human player, that can't be good.

All the players could be on the other side of the map while your weeding through armies of stupid bots.

I highly doubt Sony would sell off playstation as Kaz positioned as a major pillar at Sony.

Microsoft not so much.

Visceral is the same studio that made dead space 1. I agree dead space 3 want good, but I would still rate them B tier, they invented the IP after all.

Microsoft didn't even green light black tusks Shangheist as they are now working Gears

Rockstar industry vet Connie Yu left 343 to join Naughty Dog, creative director Payton of Metal gear left to form new studio, lead designer Scott Warner left to join Visceral at EA, Ken Scott sr Art director left 343 as well.

When 343 was first formed these were most of the talents Microsoft named to be joining. Now they are all gone. Well kiki killwolf is still there, but it's no longer it's debut self.

Black tusk is made up of a lot of unknown tal...

You have high faith on these new studios with no experience. Once they earn their dues will we give them the benefit of a doubt. At this point I wouldnt even put them in the category of a visceral games or avalanche studio (B tier studios).

Chance of failure for new studios is higher than success.

4362d ago 2 agree19 disagreeView comment

You guys make it sound like its an easy thing to start up a studio from scratch let alone it ends up being a good one or even a AAA power house. Publishers who make it their business to house good studios even struggle with this. Typically chance of failure is much higher than success. Considering microsofts lack of experience in this area in comparison to the rest of the industry I have my doubts.

Lol it's all relative ain't it? It's not about running at 30fps or 60fps it's all in relation from one system to the other like if the order runs at 30fps on the ps4 if it were also on the xbox one it would probably run at 15fps for example.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If you played killzone 3 operation mode you would know that it has cut scenes in the beginning and end of each match even showing your psn ID over the characters in the cutscenes.
The maps also have cinematic scenes during mission objectives where environmental events happen like either a orbital drop ship fires onto the map or a massive generator fires off a map wide AOE attack.

The mission obje...
