PCW: Will this exclusive period [of commitment to HD DVD] extend for a limited time, or is this an indefinite arrangement?
Bell: At this moment in time, [HD DVD exclusivity is] an indefinite commitment. The core of this announcement comes from our experience, and what our consumers are looking for. We hope this will influence consumers' choices.
"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.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
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,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
150,000 million will make me eat elephant dung too! now that they commited to hddvd they have no choice but to rave the format for increased sales
You mad???
Ok... Sony fanboys and blu-ray leg humpers... no use on crying over this... move on into another topic. You can kick... and scream.. and cry.. and pull your hair.. and it will not go away...
How about you go find some RROD article and post it on this site... It will help you feel better.
It's not healthy to punish yourself over this... There are other studios and movies you can watch on your blu-ray player.
i'm still fairly skeptical and on the fence about 'HD' formats, but I think that this will promote competition and this can only be a good thing for the consumer in the end. From what I gather, there seems to be more than meets the eye than just storage space when looking at these formats.
It is cheaper to produce for the Motion pictures industry. HDDVDs can be stamped out on regular DVD lines with minimal upgrades. Not to mention all of the added features and internet options are standard on every HDDVD player.
With the decrease on HDDVD players in price to a starting pricepoint of only $299 it makes no sense to pick Bluray. Why pay more for the same thing??
And as stated in the article by Paramount the extra space of 50 gigs on Bluray isn't even being used most of the time. And if bonus features don't fit they will simply add it on in another disk.
This sounds strikingly familiar to the console DVD9 vs. Bluray debate. Kind of makes you wonder.
