Microsoft has a knack for picking up the cream of the crop when it comes to independent, or smaller titles suited for the Xbox Live Arcade. They've scored another one for Arcade fans with Hello Games' Joe Danger: The Movie. This true sequel to the original sees the stuntman becoming a superstar, who must perform various feats on a variety of transportation devices. You'll be judged on style, scoring points for doing tricks, and making it across the finish line in the best times.
Sitting down with Sean Murray of Hello Games, to discuss Joe Danger at E3 2012, we got an early look at what'll be arriving exclusively on XBLA later this year.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
Funny how people forgot about that
Did Hello Games even care to explain to PS3 owners why they chose to completely ignore us for the sequel, especially the ones that supported the original on PSN? I don't think they did. I don't care if they're a small indie team, they didn't even acknowledge us with a blog post or anything. Give me a link proving otherwise, and I'd have more respect for them, but what kind of developer does that?
Screw 'em.
It doesn't sound like its timed. Psn just won't get it like in conviction, masseffect1, dead rising, and many more.
Sounds like it bombed on PSN, I dont think it will do well on XBLA due to there being so many good games on the comapared to the sparse PSN.
That is what MS is all about! Take from PC, take from Playstation and call xbox the ultimate experience.
