Its processing power is in line with high-end PC specs, and might even eclipse them come Christmas next year
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.
very well put together article, enjoyed reading this to hype up my expectations for E3, possibly an announcement or info regarding some of this. Although it will most likely be simple disappointment for me though come E3 lol.
But i agree with the point made about live, in my opinion, i own a xbox360 and ps3, xbox live is superior when it comes to a streamlined experience in the online world but sony is more true to the experience. i really think xbox live needs to become a more centralized place for gaming then this costly advertisement hub.
While XBL is turning into a media hub i feel it is extremely important to keep gaming the center piece of the service and not just an option as it seems theyre are turning it into. they need to let those mobile and indie developers really utilize the service to bring the same fans onto the console while gaining new fans who already will own it and are discovering content like so many who download XBL Arcade games. Also i think the financial restrictions need to ease up to the point that some new developers can jump on board and offer new game choices like free to play downloadable games like the current pc market.
All in all i like the direction theyre trying to take the service from its humble beginnings to now, its been quite a transition but they really need to open up the service to fully utilize the full potential of the service.
So ready for next-gen it isn't funny anymore.
I still wish they'd go for a stronger GPU to help compliment the 6 physical CPUs. But then again, a lot can already be done with the Radeon 7000 series horsepower.
As long as its backwards compatible so I could play my old 360 games than I'm good
