No, although at least one of those games & possibly both would've started development under Mattrick. Either way Spencer never said it was a rule, but he has absolutely said that it is something that he prefers & suggests for all of his games. Not trying to say that Kamiya doesn't want to do online & not saying the game will be bad, just saying that if there are any issues, that could be one of them.

@gangsta

I absolutely agree...some people bashed Superior but I thought it was genius, it really added a great spin...I'd never thought if it as a game but it would be kinda perfect. On top of the traditional spider powers you could also have a bigger focus on the tech with gadgets & suits. That would make for a great game.

That's ironic too because Arkham Knight basically did exactly that & that stuff ended up being the main praise for th...

That sounds promising...possibly the best thing about MS having their own PC storefront & competing a bit with Steam is that they will need to run great sales & discounts, which could have a ripple effect through the entire console system. If MS starts lowering digital prices to compete w/ Steam, Sony, Nintendo & all of the major third parties may be forced to follow suit, which results in the one thing people have been asking for for a long time: cheaper digital prices.

I'm glad we are finally going to potentially see a wider roster of villains to go along w/ those classic rogues. The trailer shows Mr. Negative's Inner Demons a few times & it shows the Feast center so he's a shoe in, then there's the Oscorp stuff which would point to Goblin making an appearance. I'm right there with you in terms of the art & design sensibilities. One of the things that made the Arkham games such a success is the way they reimagined the characters ...

"If you disagree I'd love to hear why."

I 'disagree' because you pulled 3 out of 5 entries in your 'timeline' out of thin air. Do you have even a single rumor or shred of evidence that alludes to a 'PS5' in 2019?

Hilarious that you say PS is more mobile like than Xbox when they are essentially on the same time frame in terms of these specific consoles. Try a bit harder next time.

I think the coolest feature that from what I know has never been done before in an RPG is the quest creator.

Apparently from what I've heard about it, say if you need +100 ore to craft a certain weapon...instead of just scavenging ore for hours, you can have the game create a customized quest whose reward is that +100 ore. Little systems like that show not only how deep this game could turn out, but how it could potentially be a lot more streamlined & intuitive than...

I personally wonder if it has anything to do with the co op mechanic. To my knowledge networked play isn't in Platinum's wheelhouse. I may be wrong there but I've always known them to focus on traditional offline campaigns.

The co op is most likely an MS mandate, Spencer has said before that one thing he asks of partners on software is some kind of online component. Could be Kamiya is running into issues creating a game like that when his background doesn't ...

Would it benefit MS all that much to get Crackdown working for Azure? Seems like their money will be made off of businesses utilizing the cloud than a handful of gamers doing so.

I think that it has definitely hit a snag in development...if it hadn't they would've at least put a firm 2017 date or window on it but they haven't even done that, after they planned a Summer 2016 release, then silently changed that to a Summer 2016 beta, then even more silently abando...

Yeah same here...Never been into racers & I'm only a PS4 owner but I've gotta say Forza is the premier racer so far this gen it seems. All boxes have certain genres that they end up representing & racers are definitely one of MS' forte's so far this gen along with fighters. Horizon looked really cool at E3 and I'm not even a racing fan. MS should make an Elite racing wheel for this series.

It's also pretty telling that Scorpio is right around the corner, marketed as the beastly "most powerful console ever" & the highest rated games for the platform are the ones that can run on a toaster.

Really shows it's all about quality & creativity. All of the power in the world won't make a bad game suddenly good. Consoles should first & foremost be investing in talent....let the hardware take a back seat to the thing it was built to run...

Haha yup...and this year's E3 when MS dedicated a portion of their show to indies & Sony didn't, nobody made a peep, even after those years of having to listen to those same people who criticized those portions now sing their praises. We Happy Few was considered one of the best portions of MS' conference...Sony would've been eaten alive on here back then.

It's funny though because the best thing MS did last gen was give a platform to indies. I mean M...

@ultimate master

Who claimed 8gbs of ram for Scorpio? It wasn't MS was it? I thought they hadn't talked about specs like that yet.

Either way the trailer won't be the best thing to go off of, MS already said that was all mock up stuff & not meant to resemble anything in the final form or hardware

Can't wait to play on PS4 myself!

Exactly. The narrative of "Beyond Generations" is just silly. If anything it should be "More & Quicker Generations"...it's generations to the tenth power. I guarantee that eventually the vanilla XBO will lost games before being fazed out entirely. Which means that generation is useless, hence it is now dead.

I don't have any problem w/ this method as long as the original consoles aren't fazed out too quickly. Apple does a good job keeping...

How is Phantom Dust & Fable Legends playing for you? I mean I'd rather see a game early than see a game early only for it to be canceled entirely.

Beyond that, Crackdown was shown 2 years ago & still has no release date other than 2017, which indicates there may be issues that may take quite a while to fix...don't see that game launching until late 2017. Then you've got Scalebound, a game revealed a long time ago itself....I mean how is MS a little more ...

Uh really? Like Roro pointed out the only game that Sony showed off that was far out was Death Stranding.

The thing is, none of their reveals are ever really 'pie in the sky' stuff....Sony has been far & away the best at revealing games w/ proper meaty gameplay demos as opposed to the CG trailer method that MS has ran w/ this gen.

If we are talking about showing off 'pie in the sky stuff that isn't even really a game at this point'...

Exactly my sentiments. Shannon Loftis came out & said that MS currently has 15 games in development, as if that was some huge number to brag about, but it sound pretty underwhelming to me when you realize that number includes all of the announced stuff that just hasn't released yet, which makes up over half that list.

Seems obvious that MS isn't showing off new games at E3 out of some weird made up principle, MS isn't showing new games because they just don...

No doubt...and on top of that, the games that are actually right around the corner that people can play the soonest got totally shut out. Zero Inside gameplay, and a single short trailer for Recore. If proximity is what they base their presser off of, they absolutely missed the mark there. Then a game like We Happy Few will only be in early access this year so it's really untelling when that one actually releases. Sea of Thieves is another one that only has a nebulous window that could sl...

Oh man, if some of those funds are getting funneled back into that sp dlc that thing is gonna be amazing.

Never been an mp guy myself so that sp dlc is all I need in my life. Really hoping we get some kind of trailer or teaser sooner than later for that one, they left a lot of options open to explore. I'm thinking it'll be Sully & Sam, but they should add Chloe & let her hook up w/ Sam...they are a pretty perfect fit when you think about it. I'd also rea...

uhh...what about all of those reveals from last E3 that weren't present this year? The only 2 games they had shown the prior year were TLG, which got a brief trailer & release date this year and Horizon, which got another great on stage demo & its own release date.

If we are talking about actual trends & pure facts of history, Sony will most likely only show 1 or 2 of the newly revealed games at next E3, along w/ another big handful of huge new announcements...
