Platinum did apologize to their fans that the game was canceled, but I don't recall them taking the blame.
Are you kidding me? More fluff. What record did they break? Personal bests aren't records.
Microsoft bet the farm on this game, now they have all their developers trying to save it. But you all think they will have new announcements for new games.... right.
But it never says they stopped.
Misleading title and neither this article or the Super Data article said it lost those users. It said half the users playing at launch were on the free trial. It never says those players left the game. They could have started paying.
Microsoft invents their own terminology without explanation.... Classic.
Oh please, don't get "fastest selling" confused with total sales. Other Rare games sold millions and millions because the games sold themselves and were excellent. This was all hype.
It is only "fastest selling" which is literally a short term thing. It won't beat those N64 games overall.
This sounds like some Microsoft spin, shame on you NPD. Regardless, they've been hyping this game for years and is a rare exclusive. Xbox owners were starved for something. It really isn't that unusual that there was a rush to buy it.
When it actually tops other Rare games in total sales, then we have something to talk about. GoldenEye sold 8 million, good luck topping that. Donkey Kong 64 5.2 million, Diddy Kong Racing 4.8 million. Can it even beat Perfect Da...
Unbelievable.
Huh... they said the opposite...
Well I see that everyone agrees this is one pathetic article. Every company doesn't have to tackle some issue. I'm sure many companies big and small donate money.
This article is full of misinformation. Sony has been big on first party since the beginning. There's a reason why PS2 sold so many consoles and it was the games including their own.
The following games are all published by Sony, which according to Microsoft means they are First Party.
Confirmed for 2018
Shadow of the Colossus
God of War
Detroit Become Human
Spider-Man
MLB the Show
Dreams
Other potentials:
Ghost of Tsushima
TLOU2
Death Stranding
Days Gone
The truth is not bias. It would be bias for them to ignore the shortcomings of X1.
However, how they did it was unprofessional.
God of War, UC4, HZD and even the Order 1886 are some of the greatest looking games ever.
I'm not talking about resolutions and frame rates. I'm talking about the art and graphics.
You're right it does exist. Consoles aren't PCs and this is one of the differences.
Console games are highly optimized which is why the PS4 can put out games more beautiful than what you will find on a several thousand dollar PC.
When a game has to start supporting old consoles, the games get held back. We see that already when developing tryouts to support multiple generations at the beginning. It would be worse if they tried to keep 3 or 4 itera...
They ran out of things to do in the first few days.
You're right he has never been an employee of Sony. He is a contractor.
Oh wow Microsoft employees were saying good things about Spencer publicly? Proof of nothing.
