Malek Teffaha of Tech-Ticker, "The new generation is here. Wii U Vs Xbox One Vs PS4. The most recently revealed, was of course Microsoft’s Xbox One. Among the reactions from both the press and the consumers, there has been a mix of both good and bad. Those who adored the new focus on entertainment as a whole versus those who shrugged it off for the lower importance and focus on gaming. No used-games without re-paying the original price, confusion around having to login every 24 hours, mandatory Kinect connection among many others mark a portion of the problems users have been complaining about. An opinion piece is coming up soon enough.
I have a question about the Kinect though, one I have yet to see anyone address. Of course, setting aside the worry of an always-on and always listening device, what if it got busted? Will I be unable to use my Xbox One until I acquire a new functional peripheral?"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
Good question, if your planning on buying Xbox One that is
If that happens, then you have got yourself a busted ass console!
Piece of sh1t, I know.
Good point! Just another reason to pass on the XB1.
What happens if your controller breaks? Do you trip balls?
The console is already busted, a broke Kinect would actually improve it. Buy a ps4 and save yourself the pain.
