The recently announced screenshot feature for the Xbox One, included in this month’s preview program, is already being put to good use. One user has used the feature to create panorama shots by stitching together multiple images of one location. The result is nothing short of impressive and gorgeous.
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.
Damn. Halo 4 last gen game and looks so beautiful...
Very nice
so all they have to do is overhaul the UI so it doesnt block most of the screenshot, and to make it more functional.
I've always loved these halo panoramas, does anyone remember that guy who rigged his xbox original controller with a little button and a motor so it would pan and take screenshots in Halo 2 at the optimal points to make the perfect pano?
Bungies screenshot/theatre/onlinestatt racking/postgameKillMaps for the halo franchise are still unrivaled and they did that over 10 years ago. What gives, everybody else?! You could go on, view any game you played, view the maps from various angles, see who killed you, with what gun and from where, heat maps, among many other things.
I made a few panos back in the day myself, I even bought the premium user thingy so I could upload more pics to bungie for such purposes. That was introduced during halo 3 I think...
I cant remebmer but did halo 4 have any of that? Or was halo:reach the last one to feature theatre mode/immense website stat tracking/post game reviews?
Bu bu bu bu bu but, not "true" 1080p and upscaling? No DDR5, not enough CU shaders oh no my mistake. They still look good.
Bu bu bu bu, no internal hard drive swapping and Microsoft are the spawn of satan? Somehow they are single handedly destroying all that is just and right, the real life umbrella corporation rofl.
Where is the inane rhetoric when you need a giggle.
