AusGamers had a chance to ask the head of planning and marketing for Xbox One, Albert Penello, how communication between Microsoft's new console and Xbox 360 would work, and also probed him about the likelihood of IllumiRoom ever being released for consumers and Xbox One.
"I wouldn’t expect you’ll see that,” Penello told AusGamers of IllumiRoom. “It’s very, very cool tech but it’s, like, for a consumer, it requires projectors and things. It’s really super-neat if you’re in the lab and you’ve got Microsoft money and you could totally set up this awesome lab, but... we looked at it, but for an average customer it’s, like, thousands of dollars [for the set up]."
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.
What about skyping to people on a PS4?
Well that's good news, I was under the impression that there would be no communication between them. The Illimiroom thing is just ridiculous, why even announce it?
Oh I didnt realise IllumiRoom was just a concept. I thought it was a thing.
Ahh that blows, it was awesome in the demo they showed. It makes sense though, getting consumer projectors could be expensive....who knows, maybe just put this tech in their back pocket and if projectors and such get cheaper, then pull it back out, it was an amazing idea for immersion.
I have to be honest though, if it was 1k, I'd buy it, I know the average gamer can't afford that, but the way I see it, I play games a ton, and over a 10 year cycle, that's only $100 a year to make my games way more enjoyable.
And many were considering illumiroom the killer app for Xbone just a few months earlier. It turned out to be just an impractical concept.
