How long is this thing out? 1 or 2 years?
It was a completely failure by Microsoft...

Can you name me ONE example of a Gears, Halo and Forza situation of the Xbox competition tho?

I dont get what youre saying exactly. Do you mean a studio that works on a single IP? Gran Turismo. Also, Sony has closed down numerous studios for not having hits for too long.

I assume he means a third party exclusive that they buy then make a studio or hire a studio to make only that game.

 

But he included forza so I'm not sure what he means. Microsoft need something new their big franchises are in their 5th 6th installments etc. I'd love to see one of their first party studios make a horizon or whatever sucker punch is now making, media molicule are doing something  different, naughty dog did something different (tlou) and will be again now U4 Is out.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

That's a bit fast isn't it?



This was kind of expected when the studios logo got scrubbed from MS site along with the others during the lionhead news wasn't it? 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?

Well, no big loss. Team Dakota's own content (Void Storm and Conker's Reunion) were okay-ish, but most other content (even in the "Hall of Fame", the best / most popular user content) was rubbish.

Some good ideas, but in most cases poor execution. Most levels unpolished and left unfinished.

wasn't this meant to be like a better version of LBP? I saw it a few months ago at the game store in the bargain bin. They had about 30 copies all selling for $1 AUD so around 50 cents American.

That's still a ripoff since the game was FREE to download since day one.



I was hoping for another Conker episode. :(

Out of touch. Keyword for Microsoft game development.

What do they have left? That thing with the headphones guy commanding dragons looks cool, but will not sell anything since Platinum games are niche. Fable Legends was such a miscalculation to even greenlight it, horrible! Quantum Break flopped.

What else they got? Gears of War is obsolete. Crackdown 3 looks like shit and sales will be hurt when it's revealed that the cloud feature gimmick was a fake and doesn't help the game much. Sea of Thieves will be a flop of enormous proportions in relation to its high development cost.

What else exclusives are in the pipeline?

Xbox is in huge trouble. I'm afraid it will be deleted soon.

Gears obsolete? Are you from the future?

Crackdown 3 shit? Pretty sure it's alpha they showed at Gamescom

Your last sentence makes your already terrible comment irrelevant.

What a shame. I remember being so hyped for this. I thought it was the perfect answer from Microsoft for things like Little Big Planet and Dreams. But then it came out, the 360 version was cancelled without any further word on it, and some other things and it was...just not that good as advertised. Fun for a while, though. And there was definitively potential in it.
