For more than 20 years, Microsoft has dreamed of moving from the office to the living room.... With Xbox One, Microsoft's Trojan horse has opened, and its living-room victory is imminent.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
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.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
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!
cause everyone wants to watch tv on a console thats probably in their room and not watch ACTUAL tv with their family or on the family big screen in the living room with ACTUAL cable from a cable box. /s
At this point I'm going to say that title seems extremely unlikely.
Gamers will be the main audience of Xbox and atm it seems they strongly prefer PS4. And non gamers who they think want it for the TV features are NEVER going to pay $500 plus a monthly fee.
You can get a Google TV box for $99 that does basically the same thing with no monthly fee. Add to that the fact that even low/mid range TV's are coming with built in Google TV. As well as Blu-ray players that have built in Google TV.
I'd bet against MS on this issue.
No
It depends on what your point of view of ''living room'' is. I think of living room as a way to access your content easily and let others view it with you. Although I really don't buy all of that ''instant'' jazz that the Xbox One has going, it seems like a great option to those who want a cable-box/game-console option, although if the people who are attracted to that sort of thing, they would consider an Apple TV/Ouya combo(which is still cheaper than the Xbox One). That's the reason I game in my entertainment room, because I doubt my family wants to see me get eaten alive by clickers(Im playing the Last of Us).
There should be a 'murica' tag so gamers can filter out all TV/sports/dog stuff.
