Microsoft has confirmed the release of its new-look Xbox 360 for the Japanese market.
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.
..sorry i dont mean to laugh but the japanese are very techno savy and are not gullible when it comes to electronics,they produce the best cutting edge electronics in the world, i believe this is the reason 360 is a flop there,360 had all the JRPG's yet still didnt sell,this tells me its just too last-gen in features for the japanese, wi-fi?psp and DS had this 5 years ago, the wii has wi-fi AND motion control, 5 years it ago motion control was something new and exciting so the wii sold well,its 2010 and 5 years after being on the market 360 now incorporates wi-fi and NOTHING else with microsofts new slogan 'ready for the future' with locked HD's,no bluetooth,bluray,HDMI 1.2 or true dolby 7.1?
microsoft will do well in USA no doubts about that,but japans a burnt candle
*crickets*
Japan are still butt hurt after losing the war against America lol they need to forget the past and move on.
lol i bet it will sell even less than the psp go.
@hacker that was lame, america was not the only country to serve in that war you know:(:( and japan is becoming more western friendly as time goes by just look at all the great games we get coming across here now, there was a time when it was not even worth doing a translation for a game.... if it was not for japan gameing as we know would not be the same
