They are really trying their best to keep Xbox relevant in the gaming news. Xbox's decision to release more games multiplatform are really taking and effect and now it sounds like Xbox hopes it'll cause a January 6, it's almost like the same idea, incite a riot. Stir everyone up and not have to be the sad sucker that goes down alone. Misery loves company. This is getting nasty. Xbox fans are still in a fitted rage, like they learned to do when they were a kid to throw a fit in hop...
For once, I think you and I are in agreement
That's why gamers liked Naughty Dog was just that. When PS1 died, they were done making Crash Bandicoot. When PS2 died they were done making Jak & Daxter. They should've done the same with Uncharted and The Last of Us. New hardware, new IP, but they quit doing that and what happened?
He did Uncharted 4 with Bruce Straley, but look what happens when he runs the show, when he has someone whose making better decisions, look what happens. Straley helped him through Uncharted and the first Last of Us, Straley is more level-headed and isn't woke. But Druckmanns right hand man right now is Anthony Newman whose just as bad
I forgot about that, until now. I thought that's part of what happened to Hennig, who Druckmann led everyone to believe she was the greatest mentor he had, but once she obviously served her purpose, he got rid of her. Again, look at him trying to move along without Straley, he can't. Not as good as he thought. Druckmann and Newman are poison at Naughty Dog. I thought Druckmann was gonna bring Newman in as the co-President, and I still fear that's where Newman is still headed but, ...
Yup
Totally agree
This dude's a horrible Studio President. His ego got the better of him and Naughty Dog has nothing as a result. He focused too much on him and his own personal woke, liberal, political agenda. Gamers don't wanna go to church to be preached to, its why organized religion numbers are suffering, but wouldn't you know it, games do just that and gamers are ignorant to it.
Druckmann has focused only on what makes his name big, The Last of Us was a game that during the...
And there's still nothing to play on PS5. Look at how amazing PS1 was. How PS2 did it more and did it better. Look at how there was something always on tap for PS3! PlayStation 4 slowed down a lot but was really consumer friendly...... Then Jim Ryan took over and Herman Hulst came in and look at what we have. Devs aren't doing anything. I have this fancy new console and where is it? In a box in my closet while a PS4 standard and PS4 Pro sit under my TV each with 2TB HDDs and another e...
How in the world did South Park make it to a Nintendo console? Did you see in the Nintendo Presentation how they showed all this kiddie games and then comes an animated game..... South Park? Can you imagine a very uniformed parent seeing that and buying it for their kid thinking "Its Nintendo, they make great stuff for kids" only to find your kid playing that? There wasn't anything in the presentation that warned parents, there wasn't even an ESRB rating. I'm really surp...
[RESPONSE PART I]
As consumers that buy games and hardware, how long are we going to allow this happen? We've lost jobs and have wondered what on earth we're going to do to survive, how we're going to feed our families and keep a roof over their head. You'd think that entertainment companies would be wise in their hiring process, and think about those kinds of things. What are we looking at long-term. But, it's always like: You're a piece of tissue p...
[RESPONSE PART II]
This is an industry problem, Xbox are laying off their workforce too, and who does that effect? Everyone. Where are game designers gonna catch on? They don't, so where they work? Lowes, Walmart, McDonalds, janitorial and then what happens to those people? They're living on the street while game developers went from $65,000/yr to $28,000/yr and economy suffers and gets worse, crime goes up, government assistance goes up, because companies are smart...

Brilliantly written article. Still, they blame Mattrick, which I don't anymore. He's one man in the many that killed the brand, they all were guilty and contributed INCLUDING PHIL SPENCER. HE WAS THE HEAD OF GAME STUDIOS AND WAS DOING LITTLE COASTING OFF THE SUCCESS OF 360. He had nothing going on. He's not the great Xbox Savior ...
It's a crap game. The idea when it was announced was interesting, but when you actually play it it really doesn't have much of anything to do with psychosis. I live with someone that suffers from psychosis and I don't see anything of it really. The gameplay is slow and clunky and the puzzles remind me, pretty much, of those wooden boards you'd have where you fit the wooden block shapes into them. And the tech..... I mean most of the screenshots you see pretty much tell it all,...
Everybody wants a taste of the PlayStation sweet, sweet candy. They really didn't need to port anything to the PC but since they had, it's what's expected now. We knew in the PS3 era physical media would inevitably die and consoles weren't gonna be long after. Consoles didn't exist, it was all on PC. Consoles were a simpler and more comprehensive way of playing games that didn't require installs and complicated settings, but we knew consoles would inevitably die but, a...
Gents, enjoy it while you can. This is the last Final Fantasy you'll be playing. At the rate it takes to develop games you're looking at a long time for likely anything from Sony. As well, I don't know if you're paying much attention to the Christian community but, in a world where there's a lot of disagreement, there really seems to be a common agreement that by their beliefs, we're gonna see some really bad things within the next couple of years and it all comes to a...
That would be smart, but makes too much sense. BUT, The Coalition is pretty much dead, without Rod Ferguson, there's nothing there. That was the point of that team was that he was heading it up but even Rod Ferguson turned down being the boss and head of his own studio making Microsoft money to go to Blizzard, and isn't it ironic, look where's he's at now. Cliff Blezinski offered to go back to work on Gears and Xbox (one of their biggest IPs) shut him down and told him no. Gea...
What? Dude, sit down. The Show is on Xbox because Major League Baseball twisted Sonys arm or they'd pull the license, and then they'd be making no money from the game industry, Jim Ryan played that card wrong and should have called their bluff, but they were forced into it, a move they should have been made with EA and the NFL and NHL. 2K needs to be allowed to make sports games again, they're better at it, I digress, but watch it, dude. You're talking about third-party agreem...
Is this NOT what Nintendo called theirs? PlayStation originally called, what Nintendo called their DIRECT, PlayStation Showcase..... And Xbox did the same thing.
This is why Xbox is a slowly dying breed. People just can't or refuse to see it. Xbox CANNOT do their own thing or they don't know how, all they know how to do is mimic the competition, but that's not Xbox only mentality, that's how Microsoft has always done business. And it's hard to get ahead ...
