Golgotron says, "The first point to touch on is that this is NOT a standard shooter. Monday Night Combat is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) and its objectives go beyond just kills and deaths. I know its a new concept for you people, winning a game without having to reach a specified kill count, but you should really give it a try. I blame Bungee for bringing you chumps into my gaming scene. Since I have a severe lack of competent teammates, I am going to break this game down for you kids in hopes that you will suck less."
Pure Xbox writes: "Microsoft has appointed Alan Hartman as the new Head of Xbox Game Studios. If you're not familiar with Hartman, he's been part of Forza Motorsport team at Turn 10 Studios since 2005.
Over the past couple of years he's led as Corporate Vice President of Forza and Fable, and before this was the Forza Studio Head at Turn 10."
Seems like a solid choice considering Forza and FH have been the only high quality studio, consistently for Microsoft.
What a nice reward for the latest Forza, which is probably the most mediocre of the lot so far.
Still think Rod Fergusson would have been a good shout. He's got a track record of fixing stuff and I assume he's still at Blizzard.
Not heard of this guy but I feel like anyone is better than Matt Booty
I thought Dan Greenawalt was head of Turn10 though (although I noticed he didn't do the on stage stuff at e3 this year). Is he not there anymore?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is the best news I've heard since the last piece of xbox news!
Go team xbox! Xbox will rule the world!
He's over overlooked The Forza games which have been consistently good through our the years. Hopefully he has the same eye for quality for the rest if the studios going forward.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps has crossed 2 million players since its release. This news comes via an infographic shared by Moon Studios.
That's kind of bad. When it's a multiplat and it's free on gamepass also. PLUS it's a sequel, it's not a new IP. The IP has already been established. Not to mention it's a quality game. Just kind of sad really.
Continued success Moon Studios, Ori is a fantastic IP and the game is one of the years best. Waiting for your next project reveal.
Not bad. I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I really enjoyed the first game.
Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Two set to adopt elite battle tactic in these troubled times for traditional gaming consoles
"Troubled times for traditional gaming consoles " lol a little dramatic wouldn't you say?!?! No I imagine if Sony continues what they are doing along with everything else that they are bringing to the table, they'll be just fine. Latency is a thing and it's the biggest hurdle for streaming.
You can't just magically say something and it happens. The Stadia is in for an uphill battle because of latency and the fact that quality games take talented people to make and it takes years to do this.
Film and tv are completely different animals compared to games especially games with the graphical fidelity that games have now.
Again it's not hard for me to see the PS5 being extremely successful because at this point Sony has so many talented devsdevs and those aforementioned studios and with it being BC and having a connected cross gen system they will be going into next gen strong.
All they need to do is cook up some popcorn. Stadia is going to crash and burn all by itself, I don't think I've seen anyone talk about it as a serious contender. Like the Ouya it's just a laughing stock.
I cant wait to stream games to my mobile device....... for free from my Xbox.
I know Google expect backlash from hardcore gamers but they're dreaming if they think casuals will buy full price games, pay extra for 4k and experience latency.
The whole thing is better pitched as a complimentary service to an existing platform like PS or Xbox.
Imo of course.
What troubled times? Don't listen to the BS Google is spewing. They haven't even established themselves in the gaming market yet. I don't see their PoS with no exclusives selling very well.
