TGG reports on how Phil Spencer reacted to the PS5 reveal after Mark Cerny’s public rundown of the new system from Xbox’s competitor.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."
im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal
Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.
Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.
She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.
One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.
disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds
imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
Firaxis veteran Jake Solomon hasn't seen mass layoffs like this in his whole 25-year career.
Alot’s changed in 25 years. We have games with $300 mill budgets, people not interested in games other than Fortnite and Minecraft, the older generation of gamers giving up the hobby or dying off, a period of super bad inflation where the industry decided to hike up prices on games, Gamepass harming game sales, GaaS games being pushed left and right with obnoxious monetization and worse looking/playing (Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight).
The industry is just shite right now. Games ain’t selling, games cost massive amounts, businesses can’t bleed money and this is what happens. Part of it is on them and part of it is on consumers not buying.
At least someone does.
does that mean Lockheart is officially scrapped? or possibly saved as a mid gen upgrade?
will there even be a mid gen upgrade for the next Xbox?
Of course, he is the box of Xbox, he obviously will say that.
I hope he remains that way when the PS5 dominates the worldwide console market as its predecesor did.
«Feel Even Better». This dude never, never learn. lets see if he still feels better after the price reveal. All that think that the price of a huge GPU and million more transistors is the same as the SSD. Dont know what they are talking. gamers that dont understand why the SSD is 875 on the PS5 and 1 tera on the series X is just a question of price. combined with the fact that Sony will want 3 or 4 times more parts then Microsoft.... because their marketshare is huge... The only way for microsoft is to lose big on each console to came close to the price PS5. The only path.
