GamesCom 2013 is just around the corner, we expect massive showing from both Sony and Microsoft. The press conference from Sony will be completely focused on PS4 (as already confirmed by Sony exec), but what about Microsoft?, well they are not far behind and are expected to explode at GamesCom 2013.
It has been clearly hinted by them via a recent policy changes "DRM, Indie Self Publishing, No Kinect Mandatory" and more. Xbox fan base also expect to hear some new games announcement from Microsoft's first-party studios.
Here is list of Microsoft's First-Party Studios Working on Untitled Projects
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.
Rare needs to announce something good Kameo 2 ,a new Conker ,or something that isn't Kinect.
Give me a proper Banjo Kazooie game and I'll squeal like a fat kid with a sweet tooth alone in a candy store.
I heard Lionhead are working on a Fable MMO. To be honest I wouldnt mind seeing them work on somethong else for once. They are a talented studio and We've had 4 Fable games last gen if I'm not mistaken.
Epic arent first party but you can be sure they have at least one deal going on for a XOne exclusive, may that be Gears or not. You just dont give up a partnership that was so lucrative for both MS and Epic.
They need to launch a new AAA game in a genre that isn't saturated. So no FPS, no adventure, no TPS.
I would like a new AAA game like Freelancer, Wing Commander, Elite 2
If Microsoft play it right they could have a absolutely huge presence at gamescom if they announce the right games.
Heck even if they put in something like a Banjo Kazooie or Conker teaser trailer, even if it isn't even in development, they would probably win back some of the old-timers.
Also for the love of god 343i don't show anything of the new Halo game yet, too early. I wouldn't mind a lovely teaser trailer though like the epic one from E3.
Also Also, it's about time Lionhead made a presence now, they've been lurking in the shadows and now I think it's about time they rise up as a AAA developer, they have the potential all they need now is the game.
