Oh I didn't know that about La Studios, So they are owned by Microsoft but what are they doing? So La Studios make the story while other studios will make the gameplay for them is what your saying? If they turn out as great as Remedy with stories then great =P They could easily turn that into a game dev studio and just hire people for gameplay 

 


Microsoft LA Studios and Remedy are collaborating on Quantum Break.  This is why it is considered a first party game and is owned by MSFT.  And yeah they could hire some game people if they want as time goes on.

So, Who came up with Quantum Break story and everything, Was that LA Studios or Remedy or they both worked together and came up with the story together? 

Would be nice if they did work with more games if they are good with Stories, We haven't played Quantum Break yet =P The story could turn out crap, Hoping it doesn't though Lol

Remedy came up with the story an LA Studios has their own story.  From what they have talked about after each chapter you unlock a part of the interactive show based off your choices.  the two stories tie together somehow but we cont know much about it other than that.  They had an interview about this some time ago.

Phil pretty much just shot down the idea of a Super Smash Bros like game for Xbox : (


I wish people would really stop asking about that. It would get trashed just like Playstation All Stars by the whole internet.

Agreed with Shikamaru, they will trash whatever they put out. Same for a new Banjo, or a new Lost Odyssey. We'd get resolution threads, game's not going to sell threads, etc.

I'd personally love it if they made a Smash Bros like game, but they'd have to copy the formula and not do what PSASBR did.

Is Jade Empire, Lost Odyssey owned by Microsoft? I think I asked it before about Jade Empire and somebody said it's owned by Bioware

Microsoft needs a proper rpg studio so they should just buy Mistwalker, Buy Jade Empire since Bioware isn't going to do anything with it aslong as they are owned by EA, Let Mistwalker create Jade Empire 2 and Lost Odyssey 2 along with a new Blue Dragon (Somebody, I think Shika said that Mistwalker don't like Sony so I doubt they will mind being bought up exclusive Lol)

Would love for HD ports of JE and Lost Odyssey so I can play on my XB1 and then for sequels to come out and I wouldn't mind a Blue Dragon game again if it's made good, 1st one was good for a while then I got bored and never went back Lol

Not sure on the first, but I'm pretty sure Lost Odyssey is owned by Microsoft.

WE NEED ANOTHER ONE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will forever love MS if they annoucned this sequel. I'm said this numerous times before, but idc, I need another LO!! I even got all those achievements in the game. LO was my game of the generation (last generation).

And I had the same story with Blue Dragon... lol. Got to disc 3 and said to myself, "I don't want to play this anymore."

I appreciate Spencer's and Microsoft's approach. Sure, I wish that say Remedy was owned by MS, but at the same time, you don't want to just purchase a studio only to have those people discontent in that situation and move elsewhere, leaving you with little more than the studio's name. Better to support them financially or otherwise when opportunity presents itself (like they are doing with Remedy for Quantum Break now) to gain exclusives, and then build up your own studios from the ground up to make sure that the people working for you genuinely want to be working for you, and not just kind of forced into it.


exactly they learned that the hard way with Rare... when you buy a studio you just by a name and the IPs not the talents... because if they want they can jump ship or just create their own studio.... the Bungie approach was very smart... 2nd party is way smarter IMO than Sony's strategy... at least commercially... the cost of aging big 1st party studios is not as rewarding than either building small ones that grow big and you dismantel them after a while or doing 2nd party deals over 10 years or owning the IP.... IMHO especially in todays gaming market...

DISC 3?? Lol! I can't even remember it having more than one disc =P I think..I stopped near some area which looked very boring and crappy (Can't remember) But I was just like ..K turned it off and never went back Loll it was pretty weird ..

I've never played Lost Odyssey but from what I've saw and heard I would LOVE to play it but only if they HD it on XB1 since I don't want to go back to 360 to play a 40 hour + game? Lol and all I see is praise and love for it from the people that played it, Will be stupid off Microsoft not to make a sequel, Hd will probably bring back some old fans, Get some XB1 people who have finished majority off there games to buy it since they won't have much to play and then make more fans, then release a sequel to the game

Jade Empire, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon = 3 games to help in Japan already, Then obviously make some new IP'S along with them

Go back and play it!! JRPG's are by no means my genre of choice these days and I loved it. I had played a fair share of Final Fantasy in my younger years but stopped after X for the main series and Crisis Core on PSP, if you consider that a JRPG. It's worth going back for. It's only 4 discs because of terrible compression of the unreal engine, you could probably beat it in 30 hours. I can't remember how long it took me.

I hate Saturday and Sunday Lol, Barely any news at all =(

I just been watching a video on Kinect though, Would really love to see a Horror game take advantage off everything Kinect can do from reading heart rate, Knowing if your looking at the screen, Facial Expressions etc. It would be awesome for it to know if your looking at the game before a jump scare or when you look all relaxed it makes a scare come out off nowhere Loll

I like what that Kickstarter game plans to do with it with the game getting easier if you calm down, A game like Outlast could do that if you calm down the creature stops chasing you or disappears, if you make noise irl it knows where you are etc 

Kinect V.2 Could be made awesome for a horror game, Right now the only games Kinect is worth having for looks like Kinect Sports Rivals (If your a fan off them games) and maybe D4 if it turns out good, Other games yeah, Kinect is pretty fun because off the small features in the game that require Kinect but that's all

it'd be a great way to diagnose psychopath and sociopath too lol... watch out for the NSA lol MUHAHAHAHAH

 

 

other than that.... yeah I want a shit load of horror game this gen... while it's been a genre that is kind of booming for the past decade or so on PC in the indie community... it's been largely undeminded on consoles... most of them sucked big time.... compared to past generation with silent hill and the lot... I want a true alone in the dark first edition silent hill... or all the indie games you get nw a day... especially with the movie genre making kind of a come back lately...

http://www.igameresponsibly.com/2014/02/08/report-halo-waypoint-coming-to-xbox-one/

The Halo Game Services team is working on building the next generation of backend services to power our new game saga on Xbox One. We also build services to support the greater Halo Universe, Halo Waypoint, on console, web, and mobile.

Cool I guess, I love Waypoint, It's a nice little feature just hope they improve it allot and add allot of more features into it, Hope one off the secret updates for XB1 in Feb is to be able to sort out pins easier xD It's annoying for me when I want my games in a certain order to have to click move to front, Move to front, move to front for each game in the right order Loll...Very small thing but it seems like most off the big things are being fixed anyway so smaller ones can be fixed also =P

Halo Waypoint should have more community features, Easier to upload videos etc. Maybe being able to buy Halo books on Waypoint and read them on XB1 or Smartglass....The videos on Waypoint about the different covenant species are pretty cool, they should update them and add more information for each one along with just more information on the lore in general and other features that I cba to think off =P


Pins are like that on the 360 too!! I wouldn't count on it!!

 

Bolded: That....... Would......... Be.......... Awesome. I'm reading A Dance With Dragons, 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones) right now and don't know what to read next. I haven't read any Halo books.... sadly.

Close to getting a Xbox One, Commencing step 3.

Uhhhh but..Xbox One xD I already have a pile of games I still need to finish off and don't want to add a 30 hour long game to the list Lol It will probably feel really old now also...I would definitely give it a go again though if it came to XB1 but I doubt it will

Fair call. I have a decent backlog and just play Xbox One at the moment too....

 

Even just preordered a new game for the thing yesterday! Thief!!
