With the recent change of the KInect GPU reservation unlock, Pure|News created an article about how this will impact the developers till DX 12 and the Windows Azure Cloud arrives on XBbox One.
The article also explains the recents changes done by Phil Spencer on the Xbox One platform after it's promotion.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
Repeatedly we are hearing PR and blog sites reporting these 'facts':
* 10% - 20% boost after reclamation of Kinect system resources.
* DX12 will improve tools so developers can squeeze even more power out of the hardware.
* Azure magic Cloud will perform offsite calculations so that the XB one can concentrate on displaying better graphics.
* Secret sauce
* All of these together will mean most powerful console
But it is all PR spin trying to paint a narrative that combats the perception that that the PlayStation 4 can display multi-platform games better than the XB one. Rather than this Groundhog Day of catchphrases it would be better for Microsoft to focus on their unique IP and releasing some stunning looking exclusive games and just let the quality do the talking. We already know that their biggest game Halo 5: Guardians will be native 1080p 60fps so this means all other exclusives can be as well!
Halo 5 in native 1080p 60fps
Gears of War 4 in native 1080p 60fps
Fable Legends in native 1080p 60fps
Fantasia in native 1080p 60fps
Quantum Break in native 1080p 60fps
Dance Central Spotlight in native 1080p 60fps
Phantom Dust in native 1080p 60fps
This will help the platform better than any secret sauce.
Better Xbox, better looking games. Go Xbox!
why cant they just show us examples of this
