It behooves first party publishers to provide top quality productions that make their consoles worth buying. Nintendo and Sony have both produced amazing games to sell us on the PS4 and Switch.
Microsoft, however, is different. Microsoft has decided to act no better than a grasping third party "AAA" publisher. Even worse, it set the tone of a generation and contributed - perhaps more than any other company - to the nasty normalization of excessive monetization.
It's Microsoft's fault that videogames are bad.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino teases the future of FIFA games in a brand-new interview, and NBA 2K24 studio 2K Games might be behind it.
Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.
I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.
Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.
I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure
Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.
While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
I have been saying this kind of stuff forever.
Honestly he skipped over much of the most egregious things Microsoft does and has done, but it's still good work.
Short term memory people and people who don't understand why people don't want an xbox need to keep being reminded of this stuff.
I don't know why anyone supports them, from the very beginning Microsoft has don't nothing but be a damaging influence on gaming. Pretty much all the bad trends you see today were initially born from Microsoft's greed. They have zero interest in gaming as an art or any desire to make a good game just because they can.

xbox OG was excellent especially the clancy games, 360 was superb loved it, xbox one was drab from the begining with hardly any games of note just the same games from last generation ie gears forza halo. microsoft now are selling on average 40k consoles per week its a dying console and ppl on here still feel the need to support them even with no games, whilst the competition soars ahead.....
