Is 2012 Microsoft's last chance to prove that the Kinect can win over the hardcore?
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Nope!! Not this gen.
Ghost Recon is a nice step, but I wouldn't count on it.
Why would i want to shout like a retard in mass effect 3 to take cover? kinect? GTFO
biggest issue is players understanding of the controls and that companies are still not up to the level of understanding with kinect to make something like that Unlike maybe Rare or ubisoft with ghost recons attempt which is spot on and a few gestures could be added in to take care of cover and movement. Really it could be done this gen but it has a way better chance of being more precise and better next gen. Really the should go try full on hardcore this year with things like fighters,shooters and some adventure games using kinect so when next gen comes they will be more better at using the kinect to its fullest. really comeing up with a control scheme is easy it just takes alot of trial and error to get something that works for millions of different people in different shapes and sizes.
If ME3 can't convince me nothing can, so no. Doesn't really matter if it convinces me or not though; I still haven't got any room.
