MS lost Mass Effect because Bioware was bought, SK embezzled their money and gave them shit. Alan Wake was delayed pretty much doomed to only have one game this gen. It is not all MS's fault.

People give them shit for Kinect. But guess what, MS did what you want a company to do, try something new, bet big on it, and back it up with support (in this case games). Kinect was a success and now MS knows which games work and don't work with Kinect.

They should add paddles in the back like Scuf Gaming controllers. After you get used to them they are great to used, plus I always felt the controller needs more buttons for more complex games to take advantage of.

Love how no one complains about Sony milking this franchise. But are always up in arms about new Halos, and Gears

Actually excited for the next COD. Don't really like Treyarch CODs, next generation, wonder who is developing it (IW, Slegehammer or Neversoft)

What a dumb ass list. Do people even realize that no resources is taken away from the single player to make these multiplayer components. They increase the budget and hire new people.

Consumers are getting something for free and they complain. SMH. Patcher has a point that sometimes gamers just want to cry and whine over nothing

I wonder if the campaign will be 30fps or 60fps on next gen consoles. Hmmmmm

I was not talking about Frostbite v. Any other engine.

I was just saying that is was smart of EA to have all their studios working with one engine for logistical and business reason. Before the switch to Frosbite, all their major studios were using different tech.

Internal studios can now help each other out, that's it. Plus they wouldn't have to pay millions in licensing fees to Epic.

Smart move all around

Pretty smart move, besides the sports games, almost all the studios will be using Frosbite. Which will make it easy for teams to help out one another and with so any engineers working on one engine any advancement one studio makes, another one can benefit.

I loved the campaign. Some boding parts but it is well paced for the 10+ hour of gameplay in it

Every top tier Pub will be in a bidding war to get this game.

Fuck Kotick. If COD was a prostitute, Kotick turned it from a $10000 a night escort into a 100/hr hooker. Five, five fully staffed studios are working on COD games right now. SMH

As much joy as the franchise has brought me, can't wait until the COD bubble burst.

Calling it now, the will be the best shooter of the Spring. Even better than Infinite. Crysis 2 was so close, and it looks like the devs learn from there mistakes.

Epic engine business is so profitable because it is a multiplatform engine. Would MS really be ok with for developing an engine for use on the WiiU and PS3/4.

I don't management will view it the same way they view Office on Macs. The engine business would be pocket change compared to what MS makes with it's Apple software. And back then MS was way and away ahead of Apple. Not the case in the console business.

Gearbox makes sense because they are the ...

Buying Epic makes no sense. The price would be ridiculously because of the Engine business. But MS would have to gut the engine business when they gain control. Buying a company like Gearbox would make waaaaaay more sense.

MS is no where as troubled as Sony, no where near. Windows 8 turned out to be another Vista instead of a another Windows 7. And just like when Vista bombed there are these doom and gloom articles about MS. Added to the the bomba with is the Surface RT (aka Zune 2.0)

The OS business is still extremely profitable, Office is still extremely profitable. They have billions in savings.

Xbox/XBL is extremely profitable and next year the "Xbox 720" will be ...

MS is investing in another AAA shooter franchise and people are actually upset. I get that all these sequels got people jaded but think back at big a deal the original Gears and Halo was. How new and refreshing they were. And now MS believes they have a new franchise that can be on the level of HALO and GEARS.

People should really get excited about this. MS doesn't like having franchises that are similar to each other. That's one of the major reasons the cited for no...

I have a feeling that IW is going the next gen edition, Sledgehamer is going the current gen edition.

Neversoft is also working on a separate COD title, which will probably be the 2014 COD.

Then they shift to a 3 year/3 team cycle with Treyarch, IW, and Neversoft switching off.

Slegehammer goes back and makes a action adventure title, a

I'm hoping May. March is way too stacked, they would numerous delays if it releases in March, everyone would be running for cover.

lolol. Since COD started in 2003, 2004 was the only year a game didn't release.
