Ryan McCaffrey got a chance to interview Microsoft’s Phil Spencer last week and confirmed that Microsoft did not pick up the rights to Devil’s Third.
Not sure if this is news but in my @XboxP3 interview last week Phil confirmed to me that MS did NOT pick up the rights to Devil’s Third.
Devil’s Third will be re-revealed soon, where we should know who picked up the game. Itagaki has updated the logo and teased fans about an announcement soon.
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.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
" Not sure if this is news but in my @XboxP3 interview last week Phil confirmed to me that MS did NOT pick up the rights to Devil’s Third"
Even if MS had actually picked up the publishing rights i dont think Phil would confirm it on twitter, could be wrong could be right but the comment from ryan sounds kind of vague. I mean with ryan popping out of no where like that..its almost like a deliberate attempt, like they trying to throw gamers off a trail of bread crumbs..lol ....
Robie bach and Phil Spencer have a great relationship with itagaki, MS is launching the xbx one in Japan soon, they looking out for all the japanese devs and content they can get ..then the game which has been dormant all of a sudden gets its logo updated with itagaki also teasing fans about an announcement soon?
Imo this just proves that either Microsoft is not one of the publishers and/or just wants to keep it secret that they are.
Ryan may actually know the truth though,after all its MS and securing the rights to the game isnt too hard to believe.
Devils Third wouldn't really benefit from being exclusive because the game won't be some huge system seller
I can confirm, that someone else confirmed that someone else also confirmed that MS has not secured the rights to Devil's Third.
Now that we have that out of the way...
I think it is Platinum game and team Osaka Ips are my guess as the two exclusives from Japan.
Oculus rift exclusive!
