Games.on.net editor Bennett Ring was baffled, confused, and possibly aroused by the newly-christened Kinect's debut. Read his blow-by-blow account of the party that finally lifted the lid on Microsoft's motion-controller-formerly-kno wn-as-Natal.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
good piece.
it seems like the media has taken a completely different turn now. ms needs to show some truly amazing stuff because they left a really bad taste in pretty much the entire gaming medias mouth, i think move is looking better and better to them. i don't know if a new 360 model will be enough to repair last night.
i feel genuinely saddened for myself, deep down i honestly wanted this to be cool but it's looking terrible so far. i sense tough times ahead for ms.
I think even if some wanted MS to fail, nobody wants any company in this industry to just fuck up that bad.
Like really, what the hell were they thinking?
We all know Kinect=Eyetoy and Move=Wii, but atleast Sony is making it look COOL and needed, MS is just shitting on their customers right now.
i think there are some great ways to use natal.
Gaming has to few options though.
Microsoft wants to keep it game/ 360 reated so far.
Unfortunate, cause i know some people that have developped some great concepts for this app, outside of the gaming world.
after reading that, I am saying where is my killer app
and present the right things in their conference in a few hours
