http://cdn.dualshockers.com/wp-content/themes/dualshockers2/images/blockquote_icon.gif) 20px 0px no-repeat transparent;">Thing I ask 1st party studios is why is this a 1st party game, what tech, design or creative difference are we trying to land.


...so more Halo, Forza, Gears and Fable.

Halo, and gears yes. Forza yes unless turn 10 wants to do a different racer. Fable I'm hoping is done after this last one. Especially since they want to support it for "10 years". Lionhead has a lot of potential hopefully they will move on to something else. I'm also hoping 343 starts a new franchise in addition to halo. I mean they have 350 employees. Possibly they could do black tusks new ip cause there hands are gunna full with gears(they have around 100 people).


Come on, this is all bullshit he is saying.  Black Tusk were doing something orginal, new, risky....then MS bought the Gears IP and immediately said "FUCK THAT GAME, GIVE US ANOTHER GEARS!"

When the Xbone is 1 year old it will have 2 Forza games and 4 Halo games.  With probably another Halo and Forza within another year.


So what if there are 4 halo games. People love halo.sony had a franchise like halo they would release all the time.uncharted is as close as they have and they are about to release what there 6th uncharted game? And ur bending the narrative. Xbox one is getting 1 release for halo. 1 package. U make it sound like they are releasing 4 separate games.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

The point is what, which if needs be repeated would be wasted.   Don't bring Sony into this thread and try start a console war.


You are then one acting like Microsoft is the only one who pumps out sequels.when all three do it.

Well at least fanboys can stop with the "secret sauce" bullshit right now.

No, the cloud is the secret sauce and that's still coming!

DX12 will just allow X1 to achieve PS4 parity or better.


Can't tell if you are serious....

Coding to the metal gives massive change, and this is what Naughty Dog is doing with Uncharted4. DirectX 12 does not give you the same freedom and performance.
