Avalanche boss 'understands' Xbox One disappointment

Avalanche Studios' founder Christofer Sundberg has told VideoGamer.com that he believes the negative reaction to Microsoft's Xbox One stems from the "lack of focus on games... rather than in the console," and hopes that Microsoft will be able to "turn that around during E3.

let's see what they have for e3 ^_^

PraxxtorCruel3985d ago

It has been mentioned many times that they would showcase the games in E3. Why do you lot consistently have to make the dumbest remarks. Does it make you feel better?

Snookies123985d ago

@PraxxtorCruel - MS kinda brought these jokes on themselves when they decided to focus more on these things than gaming at their reveal.

Raf1k13985d ago

@Snookies

I agree. That particular show was just wrong for a pre-E3 show especially considering the Xbox brand was launched and marketed originally as being all about the games.

I don't mind them changing the brand to be all-encompassing for digital entertainment but the show felt like it would have been better as something to do at CES not pre-E3.

Because last E3 was supposed to be about games and they blew it. You expect people to have confidence right now in this year's E3?

Microsoft brought the bad press on themselves. It's their turn to walk through hot coals now.

He doesn't think it has anything to do with their policies and anti-consumer drm?

If it was only their reveal focus on causal stuff that can be rectified with games @ E3 but its so much more than just games. That device wasn't built with gaming at the forefront, good luck getting earlier adopters to buy it.

TeeVee, spoats, collar doody.

collar doody: when an unsuspecting crow drops a load from the sky onto your collar.

That's great. It's a shame no one at Microsoft does.

Avalanche Studios Co-Founder Reveals Canceled Iron Man Game Was in Development for Two Years

Avalanche Studios co-founder has revealed new information about the canceled Iron Man game that was in development for two years.

RaidenBlack616d ago

Damn ... now that he mentioned it, Avalanche would've done an interesting job with an Iron-Man open world project.

neutralgamer1992615d ago

Yes but the story would have sucked because none of their games have even a decent story and their games always have performance issues

MadLad616d ago

They don't have the best writers, but they know how to make an enjoyable and engaging open world game.

They feel a lot like Obsidian back in the day. Great developer that's always scraping by and constantly getting screwed by publishers.

mkis007615d ago

Well the most enjoyable part of just cause for me was the jet suit in 3. Played exclusively with it.

ApocalypseShadow615d ago

Stuff like this just happens. This game was cancelled, there was a Superman game that was cancelled, Justice League, Flash game, 2 Batman games, Avengers game, Daredevil game, Spider-Man 4, Marvel Universe Online, etc etc.

I don't doubt that there will be more in the future cancelled. And more future super hero games released that will be great.

Avalanche Studios co-founders establish new studio Elemental Games

From Gematsu: "Elemental Games, a Stockholm-based studio formed in August 2021 by founding members of Avalanche Studios including co-founders Linus and Viktor Blomberg, has officially announced its establishment.

The studio, which is privately held, has a mission to create “high-quality open-world experiences from a creatively and financially independent position.” Its first title, an original intellectual property, is currently in development."

MadLad772d ago

We'll see what comes from this.

Always considered them a middle of the road developer.
Avalanche always made fun games, just nothing truly impressive.

neutralgamer1992772d ago

I agree they are the definition of 7.5-8/10. And their post launch support in the past has sucked when it comes to patches needed to fix known issues
