TK: Sega Dreamcast, Xbox, Microsoft...Ever imagined there would be some connection. From what could have been to what did, all your burning questions answered!
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
I never owned a Dreamcast but miss playing Soul Calibur and Sega Tennis on it with my college roommate. So sad it never reached its potential.
still have mine to this day i will cherish the dreamcast for life love my street fighter games on it and crazy taxi ready to rumble sonic daytona usa 2001 house of dead 2 awsome machine
Articles like this really make me feel old. Back when the Xbox was announced there were stories floating around that stated Microsoft was in talks with Sega to release the Xbox as a Sega console. Microsoft and Sega had already been working together for the creation of the Dreamcast which used a modified Windows CE as the OS. From my understanding there was far too much pressure from Sega's parent company to move multi-platform which helped kill the deal forcing Microsoft to launch as a completely new platform.
Yes and no... let's say that's how certain Sega people saw it, but not MS. The whole story is a lot darker than fans want to accept.
If you ask me yes. Continued the move to pc architecture, continued innovation in online gaming, a lot of sega's best studios had their last hoorah on the xbox with Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, etc.
Also very similar controllers and a lot of unique, if overlooked and commercially unsuccessful, games.
