Albert Penello leads planning for Xbox, he answered some questions from Eurogamer in this interview.
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.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

This guy is hilarious.

I'm surprised he has the nerve to open his mouth again.
Also, the PR isn't working, the Xbox One S is getting outsold by every PS4 SKU on Amazon.

Since this guy likes to compare Xbox to PS4 on anything and everything, how about actual games, or the lack of on Xbox? With just two major releases this year so far, Recore and Quantum Break, when will Microsoft start to have more exclusives than Playstation? But Microsoft can't as all Xbox games are now also available on PC thereby making the Xbox redundant, period. What is the point of out-muscling PS Pro when your console itself is no longer necessary? At least with the PS4 and Ps Pro, I can play games that are not available on PC making either of these consoles necessary if one wants to play games like Uncharted 4, God of War, The Last Guardian, Spiderman, etc., etc...
Further, we have no knowledge of what Sony has on the planning board and for all we know there may well be an even more powerful console on the horizon. What is a fact is that for the next year or so, Microsoft has the least powerful console on the market while the PS Pro is the most powerful. A year is a long time and who knows how things will stand in the market a year from now.
The backpedaling when Scorpio comes and it wont deliver native 4K is going to be of epic proportions. Because I see it slim to none that Scorpio will actually ship with 6 TFLOPS matching $400-450 GPU's like the Nvidia GTX1070.
Keywords for Scorpio is going to be dynamic resolution and supersampling. And clever magic done with upscaling like in the PS4Pro.
Everything from now and to the release of the Scorpio is word play and PR mombojombo.
And until Scorpio comes out the PS4Pro will have gaming capabilities no other console have. And no amount of Tweets can change that.
Deliver games in 4k native. Lol. 6 teraflops isnt enough for triple AAA games with locked frames. Better bump up the specs, if you dont you will have a huge surprise. Better get a 1080TI from nvidia, because in late 2017 it will be cheaper...
«4k will be the same from SD to HD». Sorry, but no it wont. It will take much, much, much, much, much, much more time to get something like 50% of the average consumer with a 4k tv and even more dificult with a 4k HDR tv.
What is funny is the fact that he doesnt tells what is the price of the console... we all know why!!!
