Microsoft has a lot to prove with its new console. After announcing controversial decisions such as making the Xbox One always online and not allowing it to play used games (the company later backpedaled on those plans), as well as a steep price ($499 versus the PS4’s $399) and a confusing name (it’s not the first Xbox), fans need something to convince them to get excited for Microsoft’s next generation.
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.
"The console is a bit smaller than the Xbox 360, but just as sleek."
I thought it was bigger. Everyone else says it is bigger
"Ryse: Son of Rome...the action feels a bit stilted and scripted."
So it's not just me then. I thought this when they showed off the demo at E3. There was an awkwardness about the characters as they lurched around in combat, a clunkiness about how they switched from one character animation to the other before suddenly moving unnaturally to the next objective. Quite frankly, I thought the whole thing looked like ass and I haven't been able to figure out yet how anyone was impressed by what this game had to show. I was far more impressed by the Dead Rising 3 demo.
Not much of an article here. The author seems to have liked the controller and the look of the console which he sums up in one paragraph, then bashes the game being shown off. I was hoping for a little more from someone that went hands on with the console. This is hardly an article at all. He seemed much more impressed with his coverage of the PS4 at Comic-con, and certainly had a lot more to say. That article hasn't been approved yet due to some formatting issues.

The fact that its bigger or smaller is pointless. In two years both consoles will be smaller.
deposited on the PS4 already, but really thinking hard about getting the ONE as well. Spose it will be hard paying for both since in Aus PS4 is $550 and Xbox is $600, but anyway.
Only thing im concerned about is microsoft not having more exclusives down the line, I really want them to have as many as sony. Any news on potential news on this at gamescon?
If it needs to be big to keep quiet and not overheat then let it be bigger. I don't see why this size is a problem. My pc i 5x as big as XO and I don't cry about it.
