Is 2012 Microsoft's last chance to prove that the Kinect can win over the hardcore?
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.
Nope!! Not this gen.
Ghost Recon is a nice step, but I wouldn't count on it.
Why would i want to shout like a retard in mass effect 3 to take cover? kinect? GTFO
biggest issue is players understanding of the controls and that companies are still not up to the level of understanding with kinect to make something like that Unlike maybe Rare or ubisoft with ghost recons attempt which is spot on and a few gestures could be added in to take care of cover and movement. Really it could be done this gen but it has a way better chance of being more precise and better next gen. Really the should go try full on hardcore this year with things like fighters,shooters and some adventure games using kinect so when next gen comes they will be more better at using the kinect to its fullest. really comeing up with a control scheme is easy it just takes alot of trial and error to get something that works for millions of different people in different shapes and sizes.
If ME3 can't convince me nothing can, so no. Doesn't really matter if it convinces me or not though; I still haven't got any room.
