Unless the next Xbox is out before 2020, in any case.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Ever since that cringe Kinect reveal they've never been the same. They used to make some amazing games and do great deals with third parties Early on in the 360 era they had games like Chromehounds and Shadowrun, both well ahead of their time. Now instead of nurturing their studios, they'd rather gaslight gamers and throw billions on pre existing studios. Not sure how Spencer is still in a job, I wouldn't trust him to organise a piss-up in a brewery.
We've said all along Spencer needs to go. I wish xbox went back to xbox only with new gears fable forza halo releases lots of third party releases
Those early rainbow 6 Vegas days and phantasy star universe are gone forever
MS has its head in the game but the game they are playing is something different from what console gamers expect from a platform. MS’s end game has always been to use the xbox as a trojan horse.

MICROSOFT DEFENSE FORCE IS A GO
Especially for Microsoft, when Booty pretty much said they didn't know how to handle that many studios.
Why even make the acquisition then.
Didn’t they make the swipe for Bethesda when Sony wanted like 6 months exclusiveness for Starfield
It’s like…chill, you got Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year.
Do they always come with senseless cuts becasue that's exactly what cutting Tango was, senseless.
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
Steam / Valve are one of the few truly pro-consumer bright spots in gaming right now. Thankfully.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
I’m predicting Halo 6 to sell better than 5, but Gears 5 selling less than 4.
Save Halo 6 for next gen. Show the fanbase you can get Halo right with at least re-releasing the MCC in a respectable state it deserves with PC cross-play.
Come out with Gears 5 this gen.
And drop Halo 6 the beginning of next gen with new engine and story line that the game deserves.
In my opinion.
MS got to at least try to releases one of the two(Gear5/Halo 6) or release a new/awesome Ip to make comeback this gen because they can't afford to hold back the Goods. I'm a firm believer that when things start on the small scale it's more than likely it would grow on a big scale. What I mean by this, is that some gamers have already traded in their Xbox one for a PS4/PS4 pro which is one a small scale. And, that will, of course, get bigger and bigger over time. So MS really got to get on their A game before this gen is over. Or else the same will happen to the Xbox brand next gen.
Halo 6 is likely coming in fall 2019. Even if a new Xbox drops in 2020/2021 Halo 6 will be compatible with it and could be enhanced for the system. I also predict that Gears of War 6 will launch in 2020 for Xbox One either in the spring or fall.
Did he use the Wal-Mart magic 8-ball to come up with this.
