I am on the side that this merger should never have happened in the first place.
I am totally fine with the fact that it got finalized.
But if a 69bn merger did not got already forbidden, which one does then? Only When Microsoft, Disney and Comcast would merge?
I missed that a jury would decide - a jury consisting of a random selection of people from the industry, press and players, in the best case.
ABK had never bee...
Yep.
Although ... I assume Chinese developers don't have that high of a paycheck?
Competition is always good.
I think it's great timing for the market that new studios are being founded.
And you appearantly have subscribed to The Sun.
Jeez, definitely one of the most badly written news and headlines that have gotten accepted in the past 3 months.
Sorry, but this is gossip press level.
As long as I don't have a story uncovering the complete picture behind Concord with testimony, I won't draw any conclusion or make any judgement towards Hulst.
The double CEO lead was and still is a very good idea in my opinion. Both, Nishino & Hulst, bring alot to the table.
Concord now is what it is. I just hoped Firewalk wouldn't get closed.
On the other hand - who truly knows what the studios' atmosphere was? Who...
College Football already had a noticable impact on console sales, at least in the US.
So I think you're absolutely right (or everyone for that matter): GTA6 will definitely ship consoles. Especially due to the fact the PC base will have to wait again.
"If Xbox releases a 60fps GTA 6 machine"
What are your exact thoughts on that? When do you think this machine should/would get released realistically?
Who said killer?
You don't beat GTA, too.
The mindset shouldn't be about beating CoD. Nor GTA.
Maybe this is the mistake in the first place.
Could be a good opportunity maybe for EA and SIE to start a collaboration with Battlefield.
Personally, I seriously believe that Kojima's actually the type of person you'd consider to be too good-natured - often to his disadvantage.
I understand.
But what's the purpose of a 'news' then when outlets create new words the original source (Kojima) didn't say?
It's a subjective take on an objectivity then.
Kojima is talking about 'making an impression'. Not about being obsessed with sales from aliens.
He didn't mentioned the word 'success' in any sentence.
I know.
But I still was happy it performed well..
;)
Although I still hold a little grudge towards them not just because of their treatment of Kojima, but also the demise of Pro Evolution Soccer, I am happy Silent Hill performed so well.
Looking forward to Snake Eater Delta, although I am still not so sure if I'll buy it.
I have absolutely zero interest, knowledge or even the slightest thought about Star Citizen, but:
@PrinceOfAnger
God damn, you totally blasted away everything I thought what to expect in the comments here.
Seriously, I was amused (a Killzone trailer from 2005?what the ... ?).
But also very concerned at the same time.
Wow, that was almost even more intense to watch than the opening scene of Saving Pr...
I always think of Tom Hanks in 'Cast Away' when he shouted 'I've made fire.'
I can actually feel a level of 'Good for Xbox'. Because competition is everything.
But I just can't (under)stand the level of exaggeration from a very loud portion in the Xbox community no matter where I go.
As if everything they had wished for back in the early 2000's was that, some day in the very distant future, all they wanted for Xbox was Call of Duty to be bought.
If it wasn't for Zenimax (Starfield, Redfall) a...
"as more players than ever play our games across devices and on the Xbox platform."
To be honest, fair & humble: this wasn't really hard to achieve in the first place though. If you care for context.
But good for them.
Yep.
Decima seems to be an amazing engine. I was so impressed with it not just in Horizon already, especially the Burning Shores addon. To me personally the Burning Shores is still the most impressive piece of current-gen software out there.
But also Death Stranding, yes.
You're absolutely right that Kojima has always been a technology pusher. I can't imagine what he was capable of reaching now with Death Stranding 2, especially...
The first Xbox wasn't profitable by any means, the 360 wasn't, neither. And let us not talk about the One, please.
The Series is seemingly becoming somewhat profitable now, but only after they took over Zenimax and especially ABK. Just calculate their numbers without ABK and you'll see.
Why Xbox Division keeps making consoles? Go ask their parent. That's why they keep making consoles.
Or do you truly believe the Xbox Nex...
