You think that really matters to them? They just wanna say how much they hate MS, period. It's a bait! |
Yeah, I guess, but I wanted to promote some real discussion. All the MS fans just gave up without trying, simply saying "how could we know about an IP that we don't know about?" Sure, the title makes no sense, but aside from one or two mentions of Perfect Dark, none of my examples were mentioned. It just really bothered me that such glaringly obvious options that Microsoft clearly could pull out anytime (and have hinted to as much in recent months) were completely overlooked. I'm admittedly a Nintendo fan first, but I'm also a huge Rare IP fan, and I'm not so irrational that I don't see that Microsoft is sitting on a gold mine. None of my examples would fill the same place as Halo or Gears (not that Halo needs replacing, and I don't see why Gears shouldn't have plenty of life left too), but in terms of getting sales, interest, and a varied game library of successful franchises, all Microsoft has to do is pull out some Rare classics. That said, I think the reason they haven't pulled the trigger on such big guns yet is that they're being careful to find the right talent to do the games justice. I don't have the money or the motivation to buy either PS4 or XBO just yet, but if they annouced all those games I listed (or at least a Conker sequel), I might have to sell a kidney.
