Forums - Microsoft - More Xbox One developer comments

Developers continue to share their thoughts about the Xbox One. IGN contacted a handful of new studios, ranging from Bungie to Ubisoft.

You can find commentary from some of the folks IGN contacted below. For even more thoughts, check out the full IGN piece.

Eric Osborne, Senior Writer and Head of Community at Bungie

I’m excited for the next generation of games. Not just the horsepower, but the services both parties are building around it. When we went down and looked at what our pillars for Destiny would be — which, by the way, have existed since 2009 — and then looked at their pillars in candid conversations we were having…they’re almost like a mirror with each other. Shared stories, building your legend, living worlds that feel alive instead of a disc in a drive, spaces that are fundamentally cooperative. All those things line up so well with next-gen messaging. It was exciting for us to see that something we were building was not only fundamentally next-gen without the hardware, but we sort of became the de facto tip-of-the-spear for next-gen by nature of what we were building. I think that’s a really fun placeto be…

We are excited about the potential of X1 and look forward to speaking with Microsoft on how Shadow of the Eternals will be made available on their platform.

It’s a pinnacle year in the video game industry. Xbox One allows new possibilities for dynamic gameplay like what you’ll find in Watch Dogs. It also goes beyond gaming innovation to attract entertainment enthusiasts and welcome new audiences to grow the industry.

Any special Nex-Gen features in Watch_Dogs I wasn't aware of yet or another round of marketing bullshit?

What? Shadow of the Eternals wasn't WiiU/PC only? Is this guy telling us something new?

it was going to bw WiiU/PC only at first via crowdsource funding, but considering they are doing so bad in kickstarter, maybe M$ decided to grab the game so that people say they are indie friendly; and that they have GAMEZ!

I'd say smartglass. But it can't be that since the game will also appear on WiiU, where its controller will do the same, and PS4, which with the Vita crossplay will also do this.

So... yep, it must be what disolitude said.
