Lets hope Insomniac gets a hit. I know MS will give them less creative control than Sony, so they are pretty much on their own. They deserve to get a hit after so many years of trial and error. If they fail I hate to say it but thats what MS gettings for picking up Sonys table scraps when they couldnt read the writing on the wall. I love the look of the game so heres hoping we see some positive results at E3. Fuse was a letdown even though the CG for it was great.

Yes......MS will give them less creative control, yet they are letting Insomniac keep the IP and be completely in charge of what they're doing (they are on record with that btw, cus it was very important to them). 

Amazing how every time I see one of your posts my eyeballs roll all the way into the back of my head. It's like you have a superpower. I mean.....as far as coming off that biased can be considered a superpower anyway. 

I was gonna say something more insulting and strongly worded but......you're not worth a ban. Come to think of it....you weren't worth this post


Ok...so how is what I said in argument with what you just stated? I am thinking you just dont like my tone when dealing with MS. I get it, you love them, but even your first sentence wasnt in argument with my point, but rather so bolstered it.


I think he was using sarcasm since MS was the only publisher to let them do what they wanted with the game

At this point thats the best MS can offer any company who wants to control their own projects. After I think they would be at peace with it. EA is in a similar situation with Titanfall.

From my recollection, developers have said MS is easy to work with because they stay out of the way. So... we'll just have to wait and see what Insomniac says.

Sony should have stuck with those table scraps. They could have produced a decent Resistance for the Vita.

i predicted this will be the highest rated XB1 exclusive this year. i am confident in my prediction.


As long as Horizon 2 turns out to be slightly better then the first one (85 meta) it will be the highest rated X1 exclusive game of 2014.  Of course first it has to be officially anounced at E3.  I'm hoping Sunset Overdrive turns out good since I will probably more then likely play it.  Also hoping the final box art will be a lot better looking then the first mock up that thing was hideous.

Perhaps it depends on the developer. Maybe more accomplished developers have more freedom.

But hey, lets just wait and see what Insomniac says.

From what ive heard with developers of ALL levels, MS is very much hands on. 

But im not saying this has to be a bad thing either, depends on the developer and how they cope with that.

But also were onto a new console, with a new head Xbox, things may have changed. But i do laugh at your recollection of devs saying MS is easy to work with, there are countless stories to the contrary.

Well the complaints I recall reading were from indie developers and were generally fiancial related. Perhaps they felt MS didn't give what was promised, they couldn't afford to do updates, or maybe it was difficult to get their game on Live Arcade. I assume those problems are getting resolved if not already.

When it comes to the actual game development, I've read MS has been easy to work with. And lets be honest, people pay attention to the developers that complain. Not the developers that had a positive experience.
