Jon Hare, Sensible Soccer dev: "Something that is not often talked about is just how Americanized the industry became when the big media companies came in. The American approach is seen as good business, but in a lot of cases the American side of things just don't understand our humour. I tried to make a game called Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. It was a British game with a sense of humour that I would describe as a bit like Viz magazine."
XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns director Jake Solomon has founded a new studio to make a life sim game. Here's a new interview with him.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "
Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
When the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S first launched all the way back in 2020, console sales were not what either platform manufacturer wanted them to be. The pandemic slowed things down more than ever before, even though in the case of each next-gen console, all the units that were manufactured, sold.
Of course that didn’t last, and soon manufacturing limitations on the consoles were a thing of the past, and sales started to leap forward. For one next-gen console platform, at least.
I can see why Microsoft is putting their games on PlayStation with these numbers
Imagine how many copies of future games like Elder Scrolls VI, Blade, Indiana Jones and more they could sell if they went fully multiplatform.
Sony would probably be selling more if they stopped sending mixed signals about their future. Putting games on PC because you are taking data analytic advice from Microsoft about the future of consoles is folly and has limited their potential sales. Microsoft want Sony and the world to believe that consoles are done as a business so companies like Sony and Nintendo etc can end up serving Microsoft's platform. Remember when it comes to Microsoft "It is us or no one and the three E's" Don't fall for it.
LBP is going to put British talent back on the map!
Jon Hare thinks that his opinions matter, and that someone is going to take him serious?? FOR GODS SAKE!!! HE HAS A MALE PONY TAIL???? LOL......
.......
....."The JOEY has Spoken"
GTA
LittleBigPlanet
Fable
Sure British devs don't have many top games but the ones they do create are all AAA.
i just think the games industry has changed with the times, in no other year of gaming have i seen more greed than with this gen of consoles. games companies not working on a specific platform cause it aint selling well or just making games for the highest bidder, i know it happens in the past but its just been more blatant nowadays as if they just dont care.
gaming aint as exciting as it used to be its ruled to much by money now, as in the past it was just about the game and not how much money they need to make to be successful or how much it cost to develope.
