Winter Stars Review (Godisageek.com)

"Now, with Kinect on Xbox 360, gamers can take part in a whole range of different sporting events, all from the comfort of their living room. You can act as stupidly as you like, go crazy, and no-one will know. A lot of different sporting games have hit Kinect since its launch, but there have been many more with poor execution than there have been successful ones. Can Winter Stars take a collection of events from the Winter Sports calendar, that certainly wouldn’t be listed among the most popular sports for gamers, and make them fun to play with motion control?"

Looks interesting, especially the shooting part. Seems like an odd collection of sport but there's not that many to choose from really when it comes to winter sports I suppose.

That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.

Confused in pa.

Sonyslave3225d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

Circle of life of meh games

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing224d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

Aloymetal223d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

Deep Silver Says No Saints Row, TimeSplitters or Dead Island at E3

Deep Silver has revealed that several of its major franchises would not be at E3 2021 or the Summer Game Fest.

Kind of expected TS4 not to be there since they just got a team together for it

Duke191058d ago

Why even show up then? (kidding...ish)

Their parent (Embracer) owns close to 70 studios now and they have ~150 games in development.. but those three are certainly amongst the largest IP they hold so not an unfair point..

Dead Island 2 is such a weird one - it reminds me of Homefront in that its a sequel to a fairly ordinary game and going through multiple developers and concepts.. unless it is shaping up to be properly amazing, at some point somebody needs to just say this game isn't worth the time and money.

Some truth in advertising here, as they must really know something(y) that I don't know.

I just hope that the next Saint's Row is a bit more grounded. SR2 was great because in terms of gameplay and story it had just enough wackiness. SR3 was good, and fun, but got a bit too crazy adding zombies and all that. Just go back to what made SR2 so great.
