The game's accessibility doesn't mean that it has no depth. Multiple classes and tons of quests as well as a robust cash shop offer something for everyone. Throw in the fact that this recent patch updated the graphics and added a new dimension to the game, and you will understand why the servers and website were crushed after the update. Well, Massively decided to interview Crystin Cox from Nexon to help make sense of all the changes.
The South Korean Fair Trade Commission has fined Nexon over violations of the Electronic Commerce Act in its popular games MapleStory and Bubble Fighter.
According to the Director of Live Game Operations at Xbox Game Studios, Crystin Cox, Microsoft has more than a "dozen games" in development.
Makes sense. Even before they bought Activision they had more studios then sony and Nintendo if I'm not mistaken. I don't think it's anything to brag about considering this trillion dollar company just went a whole year and a half poor little ol me ING itself.
One and half? They have basically had nothing except for Forza in the last decade.
The title of the video is misleading. This is for the xbox games publishing team. None of the dozen+ games they are referring to are first party internal studios. The interesting part was hearing that they often aquire the studios that this specific team works with.
And then there's examples like Perfect Dark. Reportedly in multiple levels of development hell. Or that Rare announced title which they had no idea what it was when announced.
Aside from Froza which seems to come out every other year, as a driving game is a simple enough concept to do so, the only games coming from MS with much issue are ones already in development from studios they buy. Before being bought.
I mean well yea they have well over a dozen studios......
In other news, water is also wet.
Only a dozen?
With the number of studios Microsoft have, it's likley there are way more then a dozen games in development.
Well, they probably have multiple studios working on the same game. So more than 12 studios, but double dipping to help create a single game.
Just my guess on it.
This is just the xbox publishing team. It's separate of all the xbox game studios and bethesda.
But likely only a few are able to make something to MS's limited mindset for what a game is.
Forget that after abandoning FPS, a genre heading towards burnout around that time, MS never really figured out what a good game is.
This. A statement like ‘over a dozen games in development’ means very little/nothing when we don’t know what kind of games they are. If half of them are GaaS titles, that’s already an automatic pass for me. Maybe some are mobile games. Not interested. Maybe some are Online MP only. Not interested.
If we’re talking about SP AAA-games and cool original smaller budget ‘indie’ games, THEN I’m interested, but we’ll just have to wait and see what they’ll be coming out with.
Keep them coming, team! Really excited about those amazing new games!
Hellblade II, Avowed, Towerborne and Fligh Simulator 2024 next year, are in line with Xbox´s goals to release 4 first party games per year! Not to mention S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, Flintlock and other amazing AAA games from third party that will be available to us day one on Gamepass.
Xbox got 2024 covered and packed with great games!
I got big money that list is mostly looking crappy after release. Stalker is 6 mod timed exclusive as well.
"I got big money that list is mostly looking crappy after release"
And I bet big money you won´t have a better list of first party games to play in 2024 so just make sure spare us all of your arrogant remarks.
lol
We'll be lucky if 2 of the games you've listed are actually released in 2024.
Stalker 2 is coming to other platforms. XB will have it exclusively for only 3 months.
@ obscure:”Keep them coming, team! ”
Sorry but I’ll be the one to interrupt you there and scream THATS WHAT SHE SAID during your speech
Any ways good for them I hope they’re the quality and amazing stories the Xbox community deserves for the last 15+ years
FIFA Online 4 and FIFA Mobile drive strong growth in Korea but MapleStory stumbles heading into its 20th anniversary.
This is great news, Blue Archive is one of the best mobile games imho, perfect for short bursts.
