Bungie have a lot to prove this year. It seems strange to make a statement like that when they have made one of the most recognised series of games in history, making millions in revenue for Microsoft. Yet, it’s not Bungie’s baby everyone is talking about these days, it’s COD. COD this. COD that. COD the other. No, gamers haven’t gone mad and decided they would rather talk about fresh fish over a first person shooter, it’s the acronym for Call of Duty and everybody and their mother on this planet is playing it! The question is, will Bungie Reach for the stars and win back their fans or will this be Halo’s final burial, sparingly attended, bastardised unmercifully.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Bungie veteran and current CTO, Luis Villegas, has left the company after fourteen years and has joined Sony PlayStation as its new Head of Technology.
"I feel incredibly lucky because as part of my new role I get to still work closely with my Bungie family."
New role and more pay and still can work closely with Bungie
The Reach beta is good, but it`s not getting nearly as much buzz as past Halo titles. Could it be that *gasp* people are getting tired of Halo?
Not the fall for Bungie if they can make the multiplat game a good one.
Not me, gonna preorder Reach real soon....I would be absolutely shocked if this didn't sell very well on release date
The website this article is from will not be.
N4G is really the sewer of gaming news.
Look at the disagrees that everyone is getting, it begins already.
childish.
who is the phantom disagreer, I shall poop on you
or it could be Bungie's Holy Grail...who knows
