If you've ever wanted to go right from watching an episode of Doctor Who to playing a game starting the Time Lord to purchasing your own sonic screwdriver, the BBC wants to make that happen. Speaking with GamesIndustry International, the network's executive vice president, Robert Nashak, spoke about the value of Microsoft's platform.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
Microsoft, hated by indie devs, loved by TV companies.
What does this tell you about the direction of the Xbox brand?
Could this be a hint that accessing these services could be free if bbc are bigging it up?
In the UK at least, the iplayer isnt allowed to be on xbl because you would need to pay for gold and this is against bbc policies..
It could actually be a very interesting partnership...just as long as the games aren't hastily made shovelware made to capitalize on a show's popularity.
