| thismeintiel said: I agree 100%. This guy would have had major input into the develop of the NeXbox and its games. Firing him a month before they are set to reveal the NeXbox doesn't speak very highly of his ability to make those decisions, even if that wasn't the reason for his firing. To me, it seems this is the model they are going for. Of course, they wanted to ease the public into the idea and make it seem like a good thing. Orth's comments (as well as the comment from Nikolai Mohilchock about making sure you pay your ISP bills), however, have pushed got this in the open too quickly and have added to the negative push back from these rumors. I also agree MS could have put this rumor to rest without speaking about a new console, which everyone knows is in development, anyway. The fact that they didn't adds to its validity, IMO. |
No he wouldn't have.
He's associated with Microsoft Games Studio. He's not associated with the Xbox team. They aren't even in close physical proximity to each other on Microsoft's campus. Microsoft Games Studio develops games for a broad range of devices, from PCs, to mobile devices, to consoles. What development team he is a director of isn't mentioned.
The last Xbox game he worked on, as a creative director, was Star Wars Kinect, however before that he worked on a PS Vita game, as well as Facebook games.
