Missed the conference or just too lazy to watch it? Explicit Gamer has a full synopsis here for you to enjoy!
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
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.
Was only a decent show I think...
That was helpful. Thanks EG!
Halo: Reach SPACE COMBAT!! HELL YEAH
An objective synopsis of the press conference at last.
Personally, it had its highs and lows. Despite the fact that Kinect is clearly aimed at the casual gamer, they effectively managed to demonstrate just how clever and precise the hardware is. However, the lack of new core game announcements (only that Kingdoms game if I remember correctly) was a major disappointment, especially considering the conveyor belt of announcements at last year's conference.
Personally, I am disappointed with Microsoft's E3. 2009 was way much better. I was hoping for more surprises but this conference was mainly for the casual audience. Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Halo: Reach, 360 slim, Gears 3, and Fable 3 were amazing but not enough. And to be fair, I am thinking Sony is going to disappoint me the same way just like Microsoft cause they have been showing off a lot of their games before their show and I am expecting a huge concentration on the casual market with MOVE. KZ3, Infamous 2, LBP2, Resistance 3, and Socom 4 do not entice me at all. But if they can pull an Uncharted 3 and Yakuza 4 in English and an impressive showing of Resident Evil PSP, then I might give a thumbs up for them. I guess my last hope is Nintendo if they show off Pikmin 3 and Zelda for the first time ever and if they both look good. Goddamn man, the flipping casual market, I don't like it. So C for Microsoft, expecting C for Sony, expecting B for Nintendo.
Edit: Too many devs making announcements before E3...
