It's the year 2006. Sony flaps their mouth off about the 4D Playstation 3. They arrogantly slap a 600.00 price tag and tell gamers to get a second job. After that they tell the world that people will buy it even if it didn't have games. The world lost respect for Sony that day, in the year 2006. They've been fighting to regain it ever since.
It didn't take long for Sony to realize that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. In less than 6 months they got their act together and started to take action. Their prime focus was to repel and dispel the many fanboy and media bashings that soon followed.
"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.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
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.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
"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.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
killzone 2 will give respect to the videogame industry people in hollywood will look at it and say wow this is what videogames are wow i want a playstation 3
Not my Respect and Billions others like me.
that's all it really needs. especially from some of those biased sites.
the 360 and the ps3 can and are co existing this generation..
everyone is looking for the death of a console but there will be none.. at least not this generation...
there are some unhappy 360 and ps3 owners that are a bit envious of the other console
but ultimately i think all gamers are happy with their purchases....
if a game is going to decide a victor though.. it wont be halo, killzone etc.. those are just upgrades to previous games..
gta3 was a new direction for the previous gta titles.. that was industry changing...
we have really yet to see that so far..
halo fans are happy but they just got a newer halo
killzone fans will be happy but its really an upgrade to killzone and cod4
uncharted is great but its just a replacement for tomb raider
so far the rpg's are niche market
rpgs like oblivion and fallout 3 are just rpg like and are really just hack and slash/shooters
ffxiii will be multi plat at least in the u.s.
i think the real defining game changers will be: (just an opinion)
heavy rain
alan wake
champions online
huxley
dc universe
the agency
maybe not in sales but i think those games will change how gamers view their and each others consoles
___________________
********edit************
to add to the games i mentioned that would help change the view of each consoles, some of the mmorpgs would be just decent if not just accepted in the pc world
the mmorpgs while not new to consoles, is a leap forward as far as backing and expectation for a console market....

which is why i feel microsoft dropped the ball not bringing their flight simulation games to the 360
KILL ZONE 2 SAY: HELLOOOOOOO.....
