According to Gears of War executive producer Rod Fergusson, gamers have become so accustomed to the series’ advanced visual finesse that they now take it for granted.
“That was one of our biggest problems with Gears 1 to Gears 2,” he explained. “Your memory is far better than reality. When I was a kid, Gilligan’s Island was the funniest show on television. When you watch Gilligan’s Island now, it’s just plain terrible.”
When creating Gears 2, he said, the team wasn’t just having to improve on the graphics of the original, but on what players remembered the original to look like. And even reviewers complained at the lack of improvements.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
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 gaming media is to blame for this travesty. When Gears came out it shocked and awe...

Gears, much like Halo, are a well known commodity. People just expect greatness and it's like yeah, yeah, it's amazing...have you seen angry birds???...WoW...o_0
Single player, 4 player story based co-op, Horde mode with new beast mode, award winning multi-player, NEW weapons, NEW enemies, NEW engine, NEW EVERYTHING and people are like indifferent...lol.
It's unfortunate that the game has been leaked. I'm not sure how it will effect sales but a big budget game like this needs all the sales it can generate.
Uncharted bro, Uncharted.
BF3 bro, BF3. on pc.
How are people taking gears 3 graphics for granted? Yeah Gears looks nice but It's not like it's the best graphics ever! or this year!
The important thing is that Gears looks fun!
But Epic swears they are the Sh!t..
Because compared to games on the PS3 and PC, the graphics on Gears of War are nothing, really.
Gears 3 does look good, as does crysis 2 tbh, some people love the look of Uncharted.
Hek i think WIPEOUT HD looks amazing.
