Can't say any of us are surprised Crytek is going under.

They believed F2P games was a smart decision...It backfired
They believed Mobile would earn income...It hasn't
They've got multiple studios working on F2P games and can't keep money in their employees pockets
They turned MS down for Ryse because they wanted to hold onto an IP that no one but MS was willing to invest in.
They've got a terrible contract with Deep Silver ...

"If you let one of these guys kill you then you should probably hang your head in shame"

I've died to Spectres twice...Once was because of a glitch and the rocket went straight for me and killed me (No Titans around...)

Second was after me gunning down 4 Pilots and I was on the brink of death reloading and the spectre is just like "LOL I shot you in the foot..."

Needless to say I wasn't bragging about the Overkill ...

You do realize in theory Cloud processing/Streaming run side by side.

All the calculations are done server side and then streamed on your screen. The only issue is the MS and distance from the center.

I personally can't wait for their TV shows to start getting ramped up.

I can't wait for the next 1v100 if they ever bring that back. (Be a great way to build up interactive shows)

Quantum Break/Halo TV series next year will help build the viewerships. Tellem is working hard and from what I've heard has a pretty big office now and is getting stuff in line. Looking forward to it.

It's reassuring...They SHOWED games at E3. And plan to show even more gameplay at Comic Con/Pax/Gamescom/TGS.

They've got a pretty strong 2015 lineup;
Fable Legends
Quantum Break
Scalebound
Halo 5 Guardians
Phantom Dust (TBA)

The question at this point is will MS keep investing good money into second tier games and building studios instead of just third party relations.

THAT's the point in S...

2015 is a BIG year, I mean IDK if Witcher 3 will win a lot of GOTY awards. But it's probably going to win a few, just a lot of contenders.

But the Witcher fanbase will guarantee that it wins Choice awards.

They didn't show gameplay because this game is going to sell well worldwide (If the Gameplay is representative of the trailer, which the devs suggested)

Gamescom Gameplay trailer
Tokyo Game Show Gameplay Demo

Is the best way to handle Scalebound, it looks like they're taking a page from Sony. Use E3 to reveal games, then have content for Gamescom/TGS/Pax/Comic Con by revealing more gameplay segments at them.

From the MS IP de...

My First impressions were

Platinum Games? Awesome
Kamiya? Sweet
Dante stylized characters? Oh yeah!
Monster Hunter environments and universe? My wallet aches
Dragon Combat mixed with Foot combat? I can't stand...
Co-op? Why is my X1 not taking my money?

This game passed by check list.

First of all, it was a few kids who sent emails to Bungie. People can't troll the fanboys/fangirls of either fanbase.

And NO if you watch Sunset TV they still get emails begging for them to bring Sunset Overdrive to PS4. Brandon even called out the port begging in the last video.

Point is Fanboys/Fangirls will always behave that way, Xbox/Playstation doesn't matter...They're all crybabies.

The fact that you isolated one over the o...

The game isn't finished...Animations and Character battles haven't been done.

They've fixed a lot of the bugs.
It's a solid game now.

Great evidence scanning system
Better Boss Fights than Arkham City
Strong cast of characters/actors
Does a great job telling the Origin stories of characters, surprisingly well.

You'll enjoy it. People build up Arkham City to stupid expectations...Arkham City is an epic game and an awesome batman game if you play all of it, but bare in mind Origins was WB Montr...

He believes in the unified experience that MS has had trouble conveying.

With Satya and Phil I don't think MS will have any trouble with Xbox in the future as far as risk taking goes.

Windows 8 was focused on bringing tiled resources to Xbox/Windows Phone/Windows Tablets. It just had trouble for PC users who didn't have touch screens. They learned and are updating it.

They just need a Windows that works across all, with the app integ...

Dude he just read the headline and thought he understood the content. Guess he didn't read the earlier Eurogamer interview with Sateya.

Shadow of Mordor

Sunset Overdrive

October is a good month.

The Halo 2 Anniversary Engine is different to Halo 2 engine.
Halo 2 will be running 2 engines, since 6 maps will be remastered with an X1 engine in mind adding new vehicles/environment interactions/game modes.

I think that was the engine they were relating it to, the Halo 2 Anniversary engine.

Fanboys will be bitter about it all.

Platinum games model is amazing, getting this BS Console war to fund their games.

Nintendo/MS will fund Bayonetta/Scalebound

Lets see if they make a deal with Sony.

Considering Wii U will have enough units to push a good chunk of Bayo 2 sales I have faith that'll continue.

By the time Scalebound launches it'll probably sell well with Tier 2/3 X1 countries opened fo...

It's little things like that, that really sold me on X1.

Devs still need to put achievement tracking in their games but a hand full do.

Snapping achievement tracking will be handy to go on and off. But I usually find myself snapping netflix when achievement hunting XD.

The game will debut on PS4 first and then hit PC/Xbox. They haven't stated how long of a wait that will be.

Well if it was a MOBA I'd have faith in the F2P portion of the game. But since he's trying to say it's not...Leads me to believe there's some BS element that they're adding to change it up.

F2P cosmetics doesn't work too well in Shooters because you can only buy so many weapon skins/characters.

The game could be good, but F2P Shooter usually blows hard.

No one in their right mind wants F2P Shooters...

Especially competitive ones, it just screams P2W...
