This needs a thread.


Going to side with Nsanity on this one, it isnt worth it.  Plus this is 4 months old so really no need in posting something that old.

Man, I'm atheist and I would be more likely to believe in God than anything that turd of CBOAT says.... first he should start to spell right to get any form of credibility.... this douche is writing like the guys using leet in the 80's.....
and second I have to thank him, it helps me rank people into the "I feel vastly superior to you category" every time someone quotes him... and that my friend, has no price.... because no matter how delusional it might be of me.... it still doesn't change the boost it provides for my ego lol :D

Not confirmed it's coming but ID@Xbox Director wants No Mans Sky on Xbox One and they are hoping for Hello games to contact them but did kinda hint that Microsoft is already talking to them, So excited if it's coming to Xbox One, When I first saw the game at...VGX (that horrible show)...It looked amazing


Great news xD  It looked pretty amazing.  

Yep, This Chris Charla guy sounds pretty cool, Didn't he also ask people who are concerned about the one day parity to email him aswell?

Phil Spencer has been awesome over the past few months as well and bringing all these awesome games to Xbox, Doing allot of interviews and making Xbox Game lineup sound awesome, It looks like he listens to what people what aswell but it's annoying when he always talks about how much he loves Crackdown cause I really want another Crackdown game and him talking about it all the time is annoying with no confirmation ¬.¬ Lol

Major Nelson Also, IDK why I see allot of people call him a douche cause I haven't saw him do anything bad tbh, His been helping out people on Reddit, Helping people with broken Xboxes, Passing on information to the Xbox team for fixes and seems like he actually enjoys helping people out on Reddit and Playing with people on Battlefield 4 etc and just seems like a nice guy


Major Nelson is pretty awesome over all and i havent seen too many people talk bad about him.  For the people who do are likely taking the console wars a little too serious.

As for crackdown you may have missed this but this is pretty old

This was shown during the Xbox One Reveal. Notice the logo ;)  Though personally i dont care for Crackdown.






       

With a repack of 1 and 2 and that might be the only Game i buy on disc with a collector edition and DD so I can keep the box sealed :) never bought a collector edition ever... Beside Rama on PC because it was coming with the books...



Yay getting a new TV for my Xbox One.

Link: Microsoft and Lionhead Working on New “Exciting and Ambitious” Cloud-Based Game, Possibly a MMORPG

Microsoft Game Studios just published a new career opportunity ad looking for a Senior Services Engineer for Lionhead Studios based in Guildford, UK.

What’s most interesting about the post is that it gives some juicy details about a new game Lionhead is working or will work on in the near future. Below you can see an excerpt of the text with the most interesting parts bolded.

__________________________________________________________________________

Lionhead Studios is seeking an experienced and passionate Senior Services Engineer to join us as a key contributor on an exciting and ambitious new title.

The ideal candidate is someone who has proven experience in designing and implementing services for highly concurrent and highly available social online game experiences, ideally in a cloud based environment.

The role will focus on helping to deliver a robust online service infrastructure and associated services, ensuring that all systems are secure, optimized and will scale to meet the needs of our current and future ambitions.

[...]

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

Essential
- Experience of full development cycle for a complex service architecture
- C# programming and debugging skills utilising the latest .NET technologies
- RESTful service design and implementation in ASP .NET MVC4.0
- Cloud platform and data experience (Azure, Amazon EC2, etc.)
- Proactive, ambitious and enthusiastic
- Proven ability to lead and motivate others in a team environment
- Working in an Agile/SCRUM environment as part of a multidisciplinary team

Desirable
- Experience of Online/Multiplayer/MMO games
- Experience of SQL, NOSQL & Azure

__________________________________________________________________________

The details mentioned above definitely seem to describe some kind of massive online/social experience based on Microsoft’s cloud servers.

Could it be the long rumored Fable MMORPG? Of course no official announcement has been made so far, so this is just my personal speculation, but I can’t say it’s not intriguing.

Just add this to the already huge amount of unannounced games :)

What they need is an update with more tracks. I know it probably won't happen but I really am hoping for more tracks.
