I looked for job listings for all of Microsoft's unaccounted for 1st party studios, only think I found was that BigPark seems to no longer be making games, I saw job listings suggesting that they are overseeing ap development now, especially sports aps.

No word on Good Science Studio, Kids and Lifestyle Entertainment, Playful Learning, and Xbox Live Productions. Either they've gone quiet leading up to future game announcements, they're defunct, they've been renamed, or they've merged with other 1st party studios. Somebody has got to be making Kinect games, Microsoft has deemed the Kinect an integral part of Xbox One worth an extra $100-150 yet they've barely announced any Kinect games so far, so I'm going to guess that they've all gone quiet leading up to future game announcements.


Kinect seems to be interal to the entertainment part of the system, not the games part.   I like it that way too

I'm also glad Kinect isn't a focus when it comes to games this gen, however, they will put some games out.

I'm surprised we've heard little from Good Science ... KA was solid, if a little barebones.

Dont bring out H2 if the multi will be just like Reach and 4. That is what made the damn series stand out. Leave the multi the way it was and keep it that way. Fine tuning is what's needed.

Also is Double Helix going to give Shadow Jago his on move set before fully departing? I hope like hell the new studio doesn't fuck this up. I like that he called the game prestige. This game is/will be important to MS.

Damn it Phil, just confirm Halo 2:A already!

If they were to make a Halo 2 Anniversary (which we all they are) I hope they make the FOV bigger from 70 to 90.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Is it just me or is Watch Dogs looking more and more like the initial Splinter Cell Conviction reveal?

Before it got scrapped and drastically changed.

People want Halo 2 multiplayer to remain the same but by today's standard it was very slow. I hope 343i improves Chief's movement a little bit and shine those polygons. Nostalgia is a hell of goggle.

Stoked for Halo 2 if true xD And it is VERY doubtful if it ended up on PC.

As for Viva Pinata and their classic franchises, he pretty much made the exact comment last year and this year. "We are always looking at our back catalog." Last year when he said it he did specifically mention Banjo, Perfect Dark, and Viva Pinata though. I dont believe theyll make another Viva Pinata anytime soon, but i wouldnt be upset if they did. Loved those games
