Gizmodo: Sony’s PlayStation Network has already been down for almost four weeks already, to the frustration of gameras around the globe. But why hasn’t Microsoft taken advantage of the ill-will currently targeted at the Japanese giant? I debate this very issue with Mark “McLeod” Serrels from Kotaku…
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 ...🙄
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.
Well Microsoft can't be cocky because the hackers could turn on them. I think what Microsoft is doing is right. Free weekend is good and this is a subtle way of making people come onto Live. The can't openly bad mouth PSN because they are opening themselves for egocentric hackers to hack them. Microsoft knows there security is better but its not perfect and doesn't want to be in the same position as Sony. Doing it subtle is cleaver and a great advertising tool without becoming a target
Because they're above that... at least, I hope so.
They're checking their system security and once happy they'll start been more vocal.
M$ should have gone for the knockout blow. Sony are on their knees right now, why not put the boot in?
FINISH THEM! lol
I doubt M$ are worried about hackers. XBOX LIVE is a closed and far more secure network that the frankly amateurish PSN was.
I pitty the fool who would waste his time trying to hack the king of online networks.
In a sense, MS and Sony aren't enemies by choice.
When they try to avoid conflict, that's what they do, which is great. For now, yes a free weekend was great for XBL (even though they always do free weekends when a CoD DLC comes out...) as it gives those who own both consoles who are waiting for PSN to come back up to use XBL, which is one reason why owning both consoles is a great idea and would recommend it. Forget what anybody else might say, whether they be a 360 fanboy or PS3 fanboy. Being an inbetweener is the way to go. There'll barely be a time when both XBL and the PSN will screw up at the exact same time.
