While Xbox Live remains a definitely amazing full-featured service, one of it's worst and previously hidden flaws might be surfacing as more and more developers plan to create their own networking services and cross-platform gameplay and features grow in popularity
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.
After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
like i said before microsoft have a smash and grab give me give me give me attitude,and it s my way or the high way attitude,there also like the jealous kid i'll pay you to make sure craig can't get this till 3 mnths down the road ...its not gonna be to long before people get tired of it
@mcgrawgamer well said bubbles
many people won't read the article but it actually makes a good point; a point I was making to some buddies at E3. How does Sony take the rug from under MSFT? By giving devs something MSFT won't. Sony is giving valve and possible other devs freedom over their content. How bittersweet will it be for 360 owners who have portal 2 to pay for dlc if they even get said dlc at all while pc/mac and ps3 owners get the content day and date 360 owners will have to wait for content to go thru msft certification and even more time may be added if valve and msft have a dispute over the pricing of dlc ala L4D. Valve loves to control their own content and I'm sure other devs feel the same way. If Sony can give this level of freedom to 3rd party devs as well as their 1st party devs which they already do it's gonna be nice battle in the online space in the very near future.
I used to have 360 before mine died and now I have PS3...only because I was bitter bacvk in 2008 when my Xbox kicked the bucket...but even still I covet the LIVE experience. PSN+ might be cool.
Microsoft are making gamers pay well if u think about this... Making videogames cost alot, so they want the developers i guess to have a great profit share by charging premium for game devs extras of content and other stuff rather than... i lost my thought.
