Microsoft continues to push the Xbox One X's graphical prowess, but 4K resolution has nothing to do with its best game of 2017.
Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.
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.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
"On comes the Xbox One X, which shows just how blind (or maybe just resistant) Microsoft is to their own situation. Instead of pouring more money and resources into the creation of a more compelling console-exclusive library, they focus on pure graphical power. The console is starting to seem like a Ferrari surrounded by dirt roads."
That's what I've been saying this entire time. It's especially apparent that people who aren't going to upgrade would still want Microsoft to do more to make their purchase of that console worth it
Style can go a real long way.
MS have had their priorities backwards this entire generation.
If the games arent built from the ground up for Xbox One X (dumb name imo) and they wont be unless MS breaks it promise to leave no gamer behind then the 'visual upgrade' you are talking about is minor. They wont be pushing more polygons, effects, ect. It will be slighly higher res textures...is that worth $500??
I dont understand how Phil Spencer got promoted. I mean microsoft has really been going in the opposite direction one would expect or hope for.. Instead of exclusives, they did emulated BC and power.. I dont get it but oh well.. Cuphead is a game PS4 owners want.. However no matter how great it is, it is an indie game so PCs can run the base title even if the raw power isnt there.. Making what exactly an xbox exclusive for this year? Nintendo and Sony will remain selling the best imo
