Workers at Canadian indie studio Dynasty Loop want answers — and their money
The publisher of Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections responds to accusations of AI usage for the game's polarizing vocal performances.
Sega has said Creative Assembly will go back to working on the genres it knows best, following the decision to cancel Hyenas.
It’s implied the studio’s focus will return to offline RTS.
Alien VR… you’re sitting on a safe investment opportunity. VR owners are always hungry for new games.
Heck, explore RTS feasibility in VR, too. One hand washes the other…
Don’t chase fortnite.
Alien Isolation 2... That's all we need. That's all we've ever needed... The first game was a horror masterpiece!
Xbox CFO Tim Stuart discussed the application of AI gaming, the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Game Pass, and how Microsoft measures success in gaming.
"Stuart explains that Xbox's mission is to bring its first-party experiences and subscription services to every screen that can play a game.
That means smart TVs. That means mobile devices. That means what we would have thought as competitors in the past, like PlayStation and Nintendo."
Third party train has arrived in the station. Ready to depart console business when next gen happens.
Basically microsoft is ditching xbox asap and going all in with gamepass
In the article I feel they de-emphasized GamePass as being their sole focus. Still interested in selling using traditional approach as well.
Xbox fans are going to get what they kept cheering for despite other gamers raising the red flag and warning them at every turn.
**Although you really cannot believe anything MS says. Literally flipping every comment on its head has often been a good indication of the truth when it comes to MS.
"Basically microsoft is ditching xbox asap and going all in with gamepass"
You delusional bunch never get tired and got yourselves disappointed.
We been hearing all this "Xbox is going to leave the console business and go full third party" bs since Xbox started to release its games on PC.
And yet, both Playstation and Epic are getting a total of zero Xbox first party games while a next gen Xbox console powered by hybrid technology leaked by FTC documents is already in development to be released in 2028. XD
So you people can be mad as you want, but those are the *facts*!
Quit the port begging already, because Playstation ain´t getting no games from Xbox in the foreseeable future. Period!
Do what you do
Lol you mean this Tim Stuart.

Where he alluded that Starfield and other Bethesda titles could arrive first or "better on Xbox" which ultimately never happened. He's a business strategist he doesn't have final say. He formulates business plans and strategies and suggestions. Phil has final say in these things. Games like Minecraft and certain Bethesda games Deathloop and Ghost Wire, COD and a few others will get support on PS and Nintendo of course. This is no sign or indication of third party for all its games I know you guys are twitching for it hard tho.
Because of fanboyism.
This realy feels like Xbox is ready to become third party. Not necessarily kill Xbox consoles, but kill exclusivity.

"Xbox games are going to get even shi#$%&."
Well, If true, then future Playstation games are also f*cked.
"AAA games have gone from taking teams of 50 people two years to make to now sometimes taking teams of hundreds of people more than ten years to make," Raymond said."
"At Haven, one way we are evolving to improve our production processes is through investing in R&D around generative AI and machine learning, in the belief these technologies will eventually help game developers reverse that trend, and unlock more creativity from developers and players alike."

History has shown that PlayStation can offer some good quality entertainment along with jank. MS, however, does not have this reputation.

We´re talking about the *future* here, dude. Nothing is set in stone.
Until Phil Spencer take over, Xbox had only 5 first party studios, now Xbox has 39.
Until Ryan Playstation had 13 first party studios, now they have 19.
Oddly tables had turned and now Xbox first party mainly focus is single player and RPG games while Playstation main focus is GaaS and remasters.
Which one will be successful in its endeavors and vision, no one can tell.
"We´re talking about the *future* here, dude. Nothing is set in stone."
The only way we can predict the future is via observation and previous knowledge. Therefore, in this case it looks to be inevitable that MS Xbox gaming will continue to get worse.
"Success for us is we can keep growing that content and services revenue double-digits. [...]. If we can grow faster than the market is growing, we are taking share in the gaming market.
And that's where we want to be. It's a 250 billion dollar market. We are not 250 billion dollars."
Their goal is a monopoly
It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft shift from a console to an amazon firestick sort of device that can be plugged into a tv/monitor and connected to a controller.
It shifts them out of the console business, keeps them on their path of providing gamepass to devices.
I agree.
It may sound strange, but a cloud stick/streaming handheld is STILL kinda a console. Nearly all the things you do on a traditional console would still be needed... Settings/preferences, managing clips, friends, chats...
Even though the rendering happens in their data center, they'd still be in the console business, and the "platform" business case that drives a traditional console (% revenue on sales of 3rd party games) would still 100% be there.
Another one
Smh
Hopefully everyone gets paid.
