E3 is definitely one of the climaxes of the year for Microsoft, and the house of Xbox has been at work on it for a long time, as revealed by Digital Storytelling Lead Jeff Rubenstein during the latest episode of Director of Xbox Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb’s podcast.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Hopefully we get a good idea of the future of Xbox at the conference
This E3 will be just as interesting as 2015, or maybe more in some cases.
Do MS has the Overwatch marketing rights?, because that would be a huge win for them. Maybe unlikely because how Activision-Blizzard has become comfortable with Sony and wouldn't want to change the winning formula.
Microsoft has had very good conferences last year but the didn't have a "Wow I need to run out and buy an Xbox One" kind of game. 2014 They did have The Master Chief Collection but that turned into a bust. This year they need to Wow people and give them a reason to go out and buy an Xbox One. Hopefully ReCore or Scalebound or some new IP can do it. Although I think Gears is going to be the main focus of the show as far as games are concerned.
I hope there's a lot more than Overwatch.
By popular demand we'll have Usher and Kinect brought back.
