More than 10 years after Apple's failed foray into console gaming with the Pippin, Apple has once again got an itch for gaming. If this itch turns into a dedicated product line, an important segment of the industry -- mobile gaming -- promises to be shaken up in a major way.
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.
Well after they showed off that SKU EA had Spore and Sega had Super Monkey Ball playing on the iPhone. If that sort of thing is expanded upon that could be a nice new moblie gaming experience. Overseas they have a hell of a lot more cool mobile games then US and Europe has. Heck Japan is getting FF IV The After which is a mobile only game :( dang nab it ><
...is there pricing model. There gadgets are far too expensive in most cases for whet you get. Sure they are nice and look the part but they are not terribly good value for money.
To compete with the PSP and DS they either have to find a whole new market of mobile gamers or offer existing mobile gamers something they cant already get on their less expensive devices.
Thats true. I have an Iphone. POS can't even receive a damn mms picture. there are some basic features this phone lacks that other cheap phones have. Not the best bang for the buck, but my dumbass has to have the top of the line gadgets...
I hope that Apple will come out with some games like that for the Ipod Touch or something.
If Apple released a Game Console (they better not) there might even be a chance that I would buy it, but it would probably be expensive as hell... probably $700+ dollars. But, I think that 3 game console manufacturers out on the market is enough, and 4 game consoles would become too crowded.
Lets see that I-phone can push as many Polys and even more than the Sega Dreamcast and it uses the Same type of GPU for it.
I bet porting over Dreamcast games would be interesting.But seeing that it doesn't have the proper buttons this could very well be kinda limited.
I'm hoping innovation conquers all this.
And we'll be in for an amazing treat,Zero load times everything on Flash ram!!!! TV out adapter??
This could be pretty Friggin Amazing ,Inovate Apple you guys are the best at this!!!
