  • Only a day after closing down a number of studios, now Xbox executives are talking about how they need not just AAA games, but also smaller, passion projects as well.
    Obviously, this is a lie given they just killed the Hi-Fi Rush studio, a game that fit that description perfectly.
    Phil Spencer, Matt Booty & whoever else, they never get held accountable so why shouldn’t they lie? They can say anything and even if their customers know they’re full of it, they seem to just fail upwards anyway.
    It’s all pathetic, until these clowns get the boot their treasure trove of IPs are simply going to be wasted.

      Parasites have put themselves in executive positions. They make truckloads personally by manipulating stock price through actions like buying up smaller companies or later gutting them and firing a bunch of people. Very little of it has to do with delivering products above subpar value to the market. Shareholders must demand true leadership in executive positions or they'll continue to be taken advantage of.

    Think of how different gaming would be if EA, Microsoft, Tencent, etc didn't swallow up studios over the years. Some of the studios would have failed, but there would have been so many great games over the years. The big publishers would probabaly be in better shape as far as game quality goes because they would have been forced to compete instead of just consume everyone else.

      I and countless others disagree, Dishonored is awesome and has been the unchallenged king of steampunk in gaming for nearly 12 years.
      Not to mention it’s easily one of the greatest immersive simulation franchises of all time, the freedom and creativity is near limitless, practically held back only by your own imagination.
      Playing Dishonored is like wielding a lantern power ring from DC Comics, you can do almost anything.

    If you really want to play the campaign for the 1st Modern Warfare reboot game from 2019, I've seen used copies as low as $10 for PS4 and Xbox One. Definitely cheaper than the digital copies that often only drop to $20-$30 when on sale.
    Probably so cheap now since you can't play the original multiplayer mode that shipped back in 2019. Activision Blizzard no longer wants you playing older CoDs online. It's all about Warzone and the most recent dlc update now.
    And yeah, 343I deserves to be shut down. They've had multiple chances now to make a great Halo and failed miserably. They can shut down the Coalition and whatever the dev making the Perfect Dark reboot is called too.
    Xbox 360 was my main choice for gaming back during the 7th gen. If not for backwards compatibility, I'd probably sell/trade my XBSX. I'm not hyped at all for anything Xbox has coming this year.

    well if they make duff games then get rid of them simple as that redfall was a duff game and they prob pushed hard for that game its a problem across the board theres to much corporate interest and their not making games people wanna play and its just been duff game after duff game .
    im saddened by arkane gettign plug pulled on them cause prey was a masterpeice so was dishonoured 1 AND 2 and the death of the outsider masterpeices. the problem is greed if its not oh we need to stop piracy tell ya something the only reason a lot of things have had the sucess they had is because of piracy ahem game of thrones anyone piracy made that and if people like it and respect the work and wanna see more games then after ya played it if it was good then ya buy a copy cause it was brilliant.
    but with their anti piracy drive cause of greed i think thats ruined a lot of things for them and im not condoning piracy but a pirate is generally a passionate gamer and will buy the game if its any good but like i say greed and this need to be onlien at all times when ya playing it and the games crud anyway so whose gonna buy the games exactly no one cause their crud games and they dont run as intened and ya cant just buy the game as in a disc install it and then play it why do you have to be online all the time i know why cause of piracy which is only a small thing anyway considering the sales but its just greed end of the day
    games studios would do well to take a leaf out of CDPRs book yeah they made a duff cyberpunk game but i'll give them this they turned that around and made the game they promised in the end still not perfect and has a lot of glaring loose end but they got there in the end and these games houses would do well to take not of the way their doing things if this anti tamper and piracy was a problem for them then cdpr wpould have gone bust years ago but its not and their the biggest in the world now and they didnt cover all their games in anti tampering and micro transactions or make it compulsory to be online to play it or any of that and with cyberpunk its a shame that its never gonna get fully realised but they crossed the line for me with cyberpunk and won in the end cause its a masterpeice now cyberpunk but if its oh its piracy so you have to be online all time or its flogging you nfts for more then a few quid and it'll get to point in these games where you have to buy ammo and you cant pick it up thats coming i think esp for call of duty
