People have been trying to guess at when the Playstation 4 and/or Xbox 720 will debut next year, while report after report has surfaced suggested one thing or another, but it now seems as though Activision has revealed one of those systems will be debuting this coming year to challenge the Wii U.
Ubisoft announced on recent earnings calls that it has already recouped the cost of Activision/Blizzard streaming rights - which were only between €50M and €100M.
Activision has published a new patent that wants to create NPCs capable of reacting with AI-generated audio and animations in games.
Have people forgotten that the 'A' in 'AI' stands for ARTIFICIAL? As in not real, as in the opposite of realism? AI-Generated content is the opposite of realism.
Microsoft and Activision have announced a AA-focused splinter team, making Tango Gameworks' closure baffling.
Yea let’s shut down a AA studio that just put out a great game and open another AA studio out of nowhere. I swear Microsoft never make any sense.
Microsoft constantly talks about creating new studios but most of their titles end up coming from studios they just threw money at 🤷♂️
Remember when they hyped The Initiative as their Naughty Dog? It's been 6 years and we've seen a trailer....
Bottom line is the Xbox part of Microsoft is in a helluva mess. The pivots are snapping ankles.
Obviously the team that remained after so many left didn't meet the needs of MSFT. A new team is not unusual for new projects. Some of the old team moved on internally and we do not know where they all went. The resources elsewhere that were freed up could likely have even been a part what spun up this new studio. Resources move. Just not in Tango Austin anymore.
well looks like i'll get a ps4 then if it comes out before the next xbox either way they will all be MINNNNNNNNE
I doubt it will be Sony. They are still releasing new IPs. They are releasing 3 next year so far that we know of.
If either of them are going to actually release next year, I think it will be Microsoft. I think Sony still has some plans for the PS3 especially if they can get their Cross Play with the Vita working properly. Plus with their financial woes, I don't see them hastily launching another overpriced console again.
It seems to point towards Microsoft, but who knows. Maybe they are talking about the OUYA.. ;)
I'd say next xbox will launch next holiday and PS4 2014 both announced at E3 though.
I'll probably be getting both on launch like the Wii U.
This is just stating the obvious. No way MS and Sony will allow Nintendo to run without competition for one more holiday season (even if they believe it is competing with the 360 and PS3).
