Good way to lose customers. Learn how to budget your games better. Last I heard the Games Industry makes more than the movie and music industry combined so, profitability, especially for Capcom ain't bad, but if you want to lose customers. Aren't you making enough off of microtransactions as is? The biggest ripoff in the industry, you're selling gamers something they should have had as part of the game you developed in the first place
They have $69 billion to try and recoup now
The idea is to create new experiences, not mimic everyone else. That's the problem gamings always had. A million Asteroid clones, Galaga clones, Space Invader clones, Zelda clones, God of War clones, Gears of War clones, Demons Souls clones. Everyone can only survive by copying someone else rather than creating new experiences, again, a problem gaming has always had. That's Microsofts problem, they want to compete and dont know how so they just copy because all they planned on was Hal...
I'm good. That's a matter of opinion
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Like when Don Mattrick invited everyone to Redmond to unveil a certain console. Phil Spencers been and most definitely his right hand man Executive Fanboy Aaron Greenberg (Head of Marketing - Why would you put a guy like this as your head of marketing, honestly) have been caught in the same thing. Phil Spencer's just as bad and as much of a two-faced about faced liar as Don Mattrick, they just put his under bite more. He's obviously not as stressed beca...
What a hypocritic world we live in. Developers want to be treated right and get the biggest bang for their buck but, with the exception of Sucker Punch and Capcom on the Resident Evil 4 Remake, they have no problem with microtransactions up the butt and paid DLC. There was a time when all of that came on cartridge/disc and was unlockable, oh, BUT DONT LEFT TURN A DEVELOPER, OH NO!
Because Microsoft (Xbox) still doesn't understand, people want choice. You don't tell us what we want, we decide what we want. If we accept an all digital future, we lose control of what's ours and it becomes there's to give and take as they please. Streaming IS NOT the future. If they wanna do what Bluray has been doing by offering a physical copy and then a digital for streaming purposes, fine, but it's all about having an option. If we let them say Streaming is the futu...
Hopefully an entirely different console. Who wants to copy what Xbox does?
Microsoft sure knows how to butter up gullible stupid developers that buy into their web of lies. "It's great promotional opportunity" while Microsoft continues to take in the money telling them gamers will buy physical copies if they like the game, but Microsoft wants gamers to keep subscribed to Game Pass. Additionally, remember when Xbox stole MLB The Show several years ago? In their court appearance for Activision acquisition Microsoft CEO talked about being as many places a...
He's downplaying it. Xbox would like to own Nintendo, he figures by kissing their butt now and discussing a deal and setting them up with tech, when Miyamoto goes, Xbox can take Nintendo, because Nintendo hasn't really mentored anyone to take over. Miyamoto is the brains of Nintendo, nobody has even stood beside him like, Hey what's up, Nintendos future is secure. It's still just Miyamoto and his translator.
As far as the controller, does it surprise you? Xb...
Xbox are ones that generated the hype, they were in over their heads, it's not the peoples fault, they just listened to Xbox and what Xbox told them repeatedly and wouldn't shut up about, consumers just ended up being smarter and called their bluff. It's not the people, Xbox generated the hype
InUrFoxHole - You're a dude, right?
They've spent a long time defending their game rather than just letting it go. Own up to it and just let it do what you designed it to do. There's a reason mo-cap has become as big as it has. Microsoft has all this money and wanted to dump all of this into this game and came out looking as it did. This is Xbox with unlimited funds, that's bought Activision for an absurd $70 billion just because they could, not because it's actually worth that much. Quantic Dream often times go...
It's actually easier to side on the favorable side. Takes more guts (IGN who usually suck) to be honest and go against the grain
Maybe this would've worked better as a VR game with more emersion. Having a society that's actually suffering from some kind of illness that requires building technology to see other worlds and travel to distant planets in search of a cure. Some planets you find resources and life on to help you discover a cure while some planets have nothing. It sounds like exploration isn't as fun if there's not much you have to do to earn it, but maybe most people would have had a better ex...
Oh, no, no, no. Jaffe is merited. If you REALLY follow Jaffe, he never finishes a game. It's like a buffet for him and nobody would know the industry better than Jaffe. His support of Game Pass is a testament to how cheap he is, the guy spends all his money on weed, diet Coke and Jolly Ranchers. The point of that is Jaffe just doesn't want to pay full price for a game even though he wanted success after he left Santa Monica, he couldn't make it work which is why he sits behind a ...
It's not my opinion. She was all over the news at one point for teenage boys drooling over her, when you see most photos of her she's pouring out of her shirts, they would respond, like boys do and she literally called their mothers, I'm not making it up, Google it. She's conniving and manipulative, a feminist the whole way through and a narcissist, it's all about her and it's her or the highway. I got six down votes but, look it up yourself
Or he's looking at flaws and what NOT to do
Are y'all surprised? Of course he's playing it, not because he necessarily likes it, but because gamers bought into the hype, so he wants to see how to mimic it for future games, it's study, that's what happens. Remember when Gears of War came out? EVERYONE copied the Cover Based Shooter mechanic. God of War? Kojima copied it's play style for the Castlevania PS3/360 reboot. Dantes Inferno copies God of War around God of War III, and Darksiders used a similar system. Who co...
Excuses, excuses. When you're caught and you make excuses. It's simple enough to state that AI isn't advanced enough (meaning your team doesn't have the skills to figure out advanced AI yet) but they make things up to save face. "We can't make Xbox look bad, they paid all that money for us, and since Don Mattrick started them rolling down the hill in a chaotic direction, we all just feel pity for them and are trying to salvage them" but it's a lost cause. I r...
