I believe Fulgore and story mode are both in March because he is needed for it.

When asked about it, Blizzard stopped short of confirming that it was coming to Xbox One, instead saying that they want to release it on as many platforms as possible. I'm guessing that there's a timed exclusivity deal on the PS4 so they're trying to hide the fact that it's coming to Xbox One. |
If that's the case I'm glad I decided not to get the 360 version. I sure hope that is true cause I always wanted to play that game.
Well done Microsoft.
360 wins US in December NPD for last gen. And Xbox One beats competition to win new gen in US Dec.
Great holiday for Microsoft.
Great Comment by Major Nelson
This morning it was revealed that the Xbox One was December 2013's best-selling home console in North America. In related news, the internet has become a cauldron of fire. Now, Microsoft's PR chap Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has taken to Reddit to applaud PS4's success, calling for diehards on both sides to cool their jets.
According to Nelson, we should all just be glad that the consoles are selling well, whichever machine we favour. "Both new platforms are off to a great start," he wrote. "We all should be celebrating a healthy vibrant industry. Sony has done a good job and they should be commended. The hate that infects gaming in the online space needs to go away." Daww.
"Sony will sell a ton," Hryb added down the page. "We will sell a ton. The industry is doing well...and consumers have choice."
This echoes recent comments to OXM by Microsoft Studios headman Phil Spencer, who said of Sony that he "really respects their focus on investing in new things and creative things". Spencer also had praise for Nintendo, observing that "their first-party is such an amazing asset."
There was certainly room for doubt about the fortunes of both Xbox One and PS4 last year, given slumping sales of big budget console blockbusters. As Bioshock Infinite designer Shawn Elliot told OXM last January, "where games are at now - the big budget games - you have the potential to be extraordinarily and unpredictably successful, but the risk, the bet you're taking is that you can also fail utterly."
Some argued that the general sales decline had more to do with the age of the supporting platforms. Others claimed, however, that consumers had simply fallen out of love with the idea of a console full stop - lured away by powerful smartphones and tablets. Fortunately, the optimists appear to have prevailed: Microsoft has now sold well over three million Xbox One units worldwide.
The problem of "online hate" is another kettle of fish, of course. I spoke to a number of developers about how they deal with toxic rancour back in 2012. The answers in brief: angry people may shout louder, but they aren't the majority, and the situation is improving.
In the spirit of Nelson's remarks, here's your agenda for the afternoon: find a PS4 or Wii U owner and give him or her a nice, big hug. I'll start by hugging Joe Skrebels, former OXM intern turned Official Nintendo news editor - hopefully, he won't think I'm just trying to steal his wallet.

Yeah Phil and Major has done an awesome job. Even replying to people on twitter makes all the difference.
As for Mattrick, well his comments around e3 were a little ergh.....I dont dislike the guy though. He just didnt represent them well around that period.

It doesnt say forza per say, but they do appear to be working on a microsoft game. I wonder if it is Forza Horizons 2 or maybe something completely different.
These are the reasons i dont comment outside of this thread much anymore http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=176254&page=1
The comments in there are -_- *sigh*
What i love about you guys in this thread is i can talk about whatever i want without the needless bickering. I can talk about killzone, pokemon, killer instinct, Game of Thrones, or just whatever. People join in on the conversation and no flaiming takes place. If somebody disagrees they talk about it respectively. I even remember a sega disagreement in here at one point with shika and somebody else. It ended peacefully with both members respecting one another.
So with all that said you guys really do make this thread awesome! :D

Yeah, All adds up, Especially Mike playing games with fans and Major, Twitter, Good interviews Etc. Phil Spencer should be head off Xbox Imo and Mike should get Phils Position =P Mike being a gamer could encourage ALLOT more awesome games to come, Phil is amazing right now but his nowhere as big off a gamer as Mike is I don't dislike Mattrick Either but I prefer him not in the Xbox Division Lol It has gotten much better since he left and seems to have made other people from Xbox DIvision to speak more and in a much better way than Don did Lol Honestly before E3 I only knew Major Nelson, Didn't even know about Phil, Mike, Acey Etc. |
I knew Phil, Mattrick, and Major. Never paid much attention to them though.
To be completely honest i never paid much attention to any of the PR people from Sony, nintendo, or MSFT. When they spoke at e3 or other conferences i listened but i didnt care about who they were.
This year has just been chaotic and it was suddenly a big deal because you know, "console wars". Sometimes i wonder if i didnt come to this site id prob enjoy games even more lol
