| S.T.A.G.E. said: Microsoft has never been good at making games. They've always paid outsiders to make their games for them or acquired franchises. Halo was purchased when they bought Bungie before it launched for Apple and the same Gears was purchased outright. Not only that but they hired a team composed of Sony and irattional games workers to make Gears 4 helmed by Rod Ferguson. MS making a key action-based exclusive all by themselves is a little much to ask. Theyve never done it after all of their time in the console business. It would be nice, but they dont take risk,because I feel they know they arent that creative. I've had this issue with Microsoft for a long time and have expressed this for years. I dub this a valid rant. |
I am alittle confused. You say Microsoft doesnt have the creative power to deliver great games?
Yet Sony's best game dev was purchased *Naughty Dog* Nintendos best dev back in the 80s and 90s was purchased *Rare*
Did you know Turn 10 was formed under MS which has created the best Racing series to date? You think Sony make better games? Look what Sony Japan make, Knack and seems to have a most anbtipated sesqual on its way..
MS are one of the richest companies in the world. There methods in making games is alittle different to others, thats how they make money. 3rd Party Devs (Apart from Nintendo) are the best in the industry. Rockstar, Blizzard, Actiivision, Valve, Bethasda just to name afew all out preformed what Sony and MS create on most occasions. With 1 or 2 exceptions with Naughty Dog and 343/Turn10 who tend to stay ontop of there genres. Funny me saying that because ND wasnt created by Sony and 343 was actually formed under MS however was basiaclly a take over of another company. MS see that getting the best in the industry to make games is not a bad thing, works out cheaper. Plus MS operate better as a overseer. They didnt become wealthy by making mediocre products/software.
At the end of the day, it doesnt matter who makes the games, aslong as its good.
