Alan Wake, first announced back in 2005 and now in my reviewing hands, is the tale of a writer searching for the wife that the darkness of Bright Falls has taken from him. Already, you can see that Alan Wake has great focus on the powers of darkness, as well as the opposing power that is light. As Alan, players control the power of light in their hands in the form of a simple flashlight which, alongside a gun, may be all he needs to save his beloved wife, Alice.
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.
lmao! this person better fix this score typo asap.
I have bought the game yesterday, and anyone with at least a bit of taste, or anyone that calls himself a gamer will enjoy this game.
Anyone incapable of enjoying a game whatever plattform it runs on should stop gaming all together.
I love it, its awesome tbh.
and anyone claiming it wouldn`t look gorgeous is a troll. It looks stunning.
Play it you wont regret it. (and please font tell me anything about taht subhd or lowres crap, it looks very very good, even better in motion)
The lights are one of its own, awesome style and look
The story is incredible and i never played a game with such a unique form of storytelling.
I wonder if Ill like it
Why do people say that nonsense whenever they have an argument about a game."Anyone who doesn't like this gane isn't a real gamer". That is one of the most childish things I have heard this generation. Alan Wake is a good game with the same flaws that a game that has been in production for a long time. Other games surpass it and do what it was supposed to do better, so by the time it comes out it usually looks dated or not as impressive as it did before. Just because i own a PS3 and don't jump to praise it to high heaven and notice it's flaws unlike a fanboy who tries to pretend that they aren't there don't make me any less of a gamer.
AW would've been amazing if it came out in 2007. Three years later the industry's standards have risen considerably especially in production value and level of polish in games like ME2, U2, GOW3, etc.
Only the most die-hard AW supporter will not be bothered by its low-res, blurry textures. Some of those textures (especially in interior in-door areas) belong to PS2/Wii graphics. It is painfully noticeable.
