The best bet for Microsoft is to do with they did with the Xbox Rog Ally X and farm it out. I don’t think they want anything to do with making their own hardware anymore.
They’d rather license out the Xbox stuff and let others make varying SKU’s. I actually saw a piece on this via Twit on YouTube saying as much a few months back.
The only issue there is I can’t even imagine the crazy high pricing on any new console say by Asus, or LG, or Samsung, and what...
As of release of the 5090 Series I have gone full PC once a loyal PlayStation and Xbox gamer. In my opinion I don’t get this whole exclusive thing anymore.
Does it even matter? Why not sell to as many people who will buy them rather then limiting that income? I think it’s inevitable that everyone but maybe Nonteo
As Steve Jobs said “The Problem with Microsoft is that they have no taste.” I’m paraphrasing. They don’t know how to make beautiful games. They don’t have management with talent to spot dog water before it’s released.
It’s so bizarre that they’re this clueless. Year after year they haven’t had one mega smash hit. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But with them it’s just miss after miss. The incompetence just doesn’t stop.
I remember when everyone was playing this game. No one on my Xbox or PlayStation friends list plays anymore.
I don’t even play the game anymore. I wonder who out there is left? Is the community still big or is it small at this point?
There was no reason for them to launch without even a way to see your game history and stats. That’s on top of all of the other issues. The leadership of the studio have committed a bizarre set of unforced avoidable errors that have seemingly doomed their game, what a waste.
I get the remaster was intended to be a shadow drop. What I don’t get is why Xbox wouldn’t wait until their press conference in June to do it for maximum impact?
To randomly release it in April makes no sense to me at all. Which keeps me questioning whether or not it could actually be coming out this month.
I want the game. I’ve wanted a remaster for years. So I hope its out next week or before May. I just don’t want to get my hopes up.
Nintendo is allowed to cheap out on everything. From hardware. To the non oled screen. To the worse battery life. To ridiculously priced games. To the over priced system.
At what point will they ever be held accountable for anything? I don’t get why they get away with everything simply because they’ve been making things people love since the 80’s?
And if this was Xbox or PlayStation they’d be getting their backs blown out by anyone and everyone. The pas...
If you’re Sony wouldn’t you rather take $10 from PS Plus users than $0? Plenty of people will not double dip for this title because they already have the game in their PS Plus library.
They may have spent the $10 on top of the $10 other users who own it out right may spend. I mean I get it. But isn’t something better than nothing?
Then of course there are those players who don’t own it at all that will buy it at full price. I don’t know can someone explai...
Games take so long to make nowadays on top of the crazy expense that I don’t think it’s necessarily PlayStation coasting but more so the new reality that these projects when done right take mountains of time to maintain quality.
No. It wasn’t a criminal trial. It was a civil case. Furthermore the authorities declined to press charges against him. The woman admitted she was coked up and drunk they all were.
This is another instance in where a woman is simply seeking money because it’s a he said she said situation. We have to believe women yes but women also lie.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are the prime example of this. But of course here we are in 2024 where anyone at anytime c...
Ask for a photo of the staff for any of these once great AAA companies from 10 to 15 years. Then ask for one from 2024 and you’ll have your answer clear as day as to why most of these studios are putting out hot garbage. It use to be about hiring premier talent. Now it’s about, well we all know what’s it’s about these days.
That aside over the last two console generations that’s Xbox One and now Series X/S Xbox hasn’t had one smash hit with a new I.P. not one. During that s...
I’m 100 percent sure Microsoft leadership has neutered Phil into oblivion.
He’s had 2 console cycles to make his vision work. It hasn’t and it won’t.
Microsoft isn’t Apple. They’ll never garner the type of obsession that make people sell their own kids for their products.
So now Microsoft is like wait we can make boat loads of money by simply releasing our stuff on Nintendo and PlayStation too?
Uh yes please sign us u...
I’m honestly baffled as to how Phil Spencer is still in charge at Microsoft games. It doesn’t make any sense. Halo Infinite failed under his watch, Starfield under his watch.
I don’t understand how Xbox hasn’t had one AAA smash hit since the 360 generation. Xbox as a brand needs to be killed off. It’s name has become synonymous with failure.
Microsoft with this next generation in 2028 need a whole new name, they also need excellent first party games with ...
A lot of it is MS is not Apple. MS is looked at outside of software a terrible hardware manufacturer.
People aren’t fans of MS and Xbox the way they are Sony and PlayStation.
Furthermore people associate Japan and the Japanese with quality. They associate America with anything but.
The rub is Apple. If Apple made Apple Game Stations they’d make PlayStation look like Xbox. Because people are emotionally attached to Apple in a way that ...
Mike Ybarra is a joke. This man goes from company to company like the town wh*re.
I didn’t like him at Microsoft, didn’t like him at Blizzard. And while I would tip developers who deserve it.
I’ll never tip developers who are more than happy to force diversity and inclusion just because.
If it makes sense for the story and game okay. But often times it’s just there to check DEI boxes.
At this point in terms of budget how many copies does a FF7 Rebirth have to sell? Or any AAA game for that matter that takes years to make for it to be profitable and devs keep their jobs?
Does anyone know the actual number or are these studios going to lose money no matter what? Since the layoffs seem to be from over hiring during the pandemic.
I’m genuinely curious though as to what the truth and reality is here. Can anyone shed some insight or are we a...
For anyone who thinks Jim is being unfair. He destroyed Death Stranding as well. Though he did rate it higher.
But this is par for the course with him. He will let huge games have it and go full on auto cannon.
No one is safe.
My issue has been and continues to be Nintendo who releases worthless hardware. They could own the industry in a way that I wish they would. If they were as powerful as a Series X, PS5, offered Ninchievments, better social features.
It be incredible. Yet here we are. Switch 2 isn’t really much of an upgrade. It will not receive GTA6 most ports aren’t worth buying on their under powered hardware and play terribly. It’s just weird that they refuse to get serious.
