"Hey guys we're doing shit that was standard 15 years ago! We special!"
well just doing that is being superior morality wise these days. so it is worth pointing out
also most games really were not drm free 15 years ago.
By Smokey Go To PostSo they underperformed. These studios are clearly preparing stuff for next gen. The fact that MS hinted publicly that they're actively developing the next Xbox, makes this obvious.Ok. Call me when MS makes great AAA games for the Xbox again.
Need more exclusives. Buys studios to develop said exclusives. Still complain.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postsome of those studios were shit
by fucking platinum games
give itagaki the keys to the car again, ninja gaiden black is a top game all time and the sequel was fantastic also
Guerilla was arguably shit before Horizon. Let it marinate for a bit.
By Facism Go To Postinnit.It is when no one else is doing it anymore m8
"Hey guys we're doing shit that was standard 15 years ago! We special!"
EA are fucking shouting "no loot boxes" in the same press conference where half their games are full of them.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostOk. Call me when MS makes great AAA games for the Xbox again.
Games and IP take a long time to develop. So sure. Stick around for 2-3 years .
Microsoft is mostly lining up for next gen at this point. They even announced, hey, we're already working on the next Xbox. They didn't even date Halo Infinite, which makes me think 2020. Whatever Ninja Theory is doing now won't come out on Xbox One. Playground's Fable reboot isn't this generation, either.
Still, a good showing. The Xbox One games they did show looked good. Crackdown, Ori 2, FH4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics. I'm super curious to see what Battletoads actually is and hopefully they'll have that on their Inside Xbox tomorrow.

By s y Go To Postshit, forgot that xbox stuff is on pc. is gamepass on pc?
Yep

It's super obvious too. But let's keep pretending it's not!
Also, they're dumping a ton of money into their new Santa Monica studio, The Initiative. The job listings point to whatever they're doing being a new IP with the budget of a Halo or Gears. You just won't see it for probably two years and that's okay.
Everyone kept calling for Microsoft to open new studios. They are. These things take time.

Only caught about half of the MS conference
Looked quite good actually
Good job MS
Unless i missed something crazy bad in the other half

By Pennywise Go To PostYeah booooy
RVY!
By Smokey Go To PostGears 5 did look insane thoThe Coalition is their best studio. They've been continually supporting Gears 4 for a year and a half and making that. It's absurd.
Main issue with MS is that they need to kickstart new IP now and not in 2 years time. And we’ve not seen it. Halo/Gears/Forza aint gunna cut it.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostWhere is VERGIL!?
probably the guy who cut off nero's arm
Just finished. Wasn't bad but again severely over hyped by the media. Really is just same shit next verse for them this gen bunch of multiplatform games and then Forza, Gears, Halo, and a random Rare game. Glad they are rebuilding their first party hopefully they will be ready for the next box. Gears and Halo look really nice.
Fuck Battletoads though that shit was never good. Garbage tier Rare franchise.
Edit: ninja theory isnt a bad developer. Heavenly Sword was kind of weak but Enslaved was pretty good and DMC was too

Honestly I get it, banter aside.
I'm still worried about Ninja Theory though because their track record when it comes to AAA games aren't so great. They made games that I like the look of, but didn't really become hits for a variety of reasons.
Definitely got unfairly shat on for DmC though, especially when it was Keiji Inafune who pushed for a new western style look and feel for the game, when they first presented a more traditional art style for Dante. That piece of information of course got lost in time, and apparently it's all their fault that the game looked as it does.

They literally just bought 5 studios lol. The Xbox One was a disaster from what Mattrick did. The best time to launch new IP is at the beginning of a generation, not late in one. They are riding this one out and it's obvious.
By Pennywise Go To PostNo way that is Dante
By Smokey Go To PostIt's super obvious too. But let's keep pretending it's not!wait there is talks about next systems? havent really kept up with gaming like that.

By unknown Go To Postwait there is talks about next systems? havent really kept up with gaming like that.
Toward the end, they said their hardware team is working on the next Xbox. First time they've publicly said so even if everybody knows that's the case as soon as the previous system comes out.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostHonestly I get it, banter aside.Then again, Ninja THeory did do this:

and their first dante mockups were.....
so idk
By Laboured Go To PostMain issue with MS is that they need to kickstart new IP now and not in 2 years time. And we’ve not seen it. Halo/Gears/Forza aint gunna cut it.But they are? The Initiative is working on a new IP. Ninja Theory and Compulsion are almost certainly working new things. But like, the Xbox One is dead. They're not going to spend a lot of time and money launching some fabulous new IP at the end of a generation that didn't work out for them.
People just need to get over their fascination with 343 making something that isn't Halo or The Coalition working on a game that ain't Gears. The Coalition willingly dumped the new IP they were making to make Gears 4. People go to those studios to work on those things specifically and they are set up to shepherd huge franchises, which, yes both Halo and Gears still are.
I wonder what made From Software change the publishers.
Going from Namco Bandai to Activision is certainly a weird move.

By data Go To Poststop making Gears games
Epic finessed the shit outta Microsoft when they sold them the Gears franchise
By s y Go To PostThen again, Ninja THeory did do this:Well yeah, they were asked to give extreme redesigns. That suspenders one was as far as they went due to Capcom's mandate.
and their first dante mockups were…..
so idk
The fault for me is still Capcom. They asked for the DmC style. They got it.
Hell, Keiji made some fucking stupid moves near the end of his Capcom career regarding a number of games.
I hope Capcom learned their lesson with DMC 4. No dice game, none of the absurd backtracking, no bullshit like the enemy that warps you in the forest, etc...
By Mister0079 Go To PostNah, give me weeaboo Dante pls.
looks better in high resolution
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostWhere is VERGIL!?3rd cloaked guy, steal his son's arm.
By s y Go To Postapparently, a wrestler named Cory Rhoades is the model for Nero in DMC5.So Nero is gonna be dashing.
