Aaron Greenberg talks about the most valuable lesson he learned during the Xbox One generation, which he will carry into the next one. It's all about the fans.
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.
"I’m really proud that this leadership team that’s in place is the team that has been leading the business kinda post-Xbox One launch"
Don Mattrick's ears must be buzzing right about now.
**and if you’re seeing what the team has done there around backward compatibility, around innovation with hardware, around things like the Elite controller, all the innovation, and so much of that comes from listening to our fans.**
Not once did he mention exclusive games, quality of exclusive games or amount of first party exclusive games.
Good hardware. But that's not listening to the gamer. That's more a reaction to their competitor whooping their butt more than 2 to 1 and thinking hardware and features sell consoles.
Games sell consoles. Maybe they should listen to gamers who are no longer fans after the first xbox as it sits in the closet. More consoles might have been purchased to sit right next to it. But RROD prevented that and the DRM fiasco.
I still can’t believe Microsoft went the entire generation without establishing a new flagship franchise.
I guess you can say Minecraft but they bought that after it was already released and it’s not even exclusive to them
Chill and continue to learn as you go as all companies should
