Actions speak louder then words. Show and deliver rather then tell. One thing I've learned over the year with MS announcements. Same with Sony and other publishers. These future promises or intentions of pre announcements of eventual announcements of groundbreaking or boundary pushing or jaw dropping or revolutionary games are getting old.

I'm inclined to agree. Also, "push the boundaries" is a very vague phrase. Pushing the boundaries in what? Gameplay mechanics, thematic messages, storytelling? To me, "push the boundaries" means nothing.

New IP pushing the boundaries: Same Sex Cousin Dating Simulator confirmed!!!

SOLD!!

So yet another Alan Wake/Kameo/Strangers Wrath/Perfect Dark/etc. failed attempt, where they or their partners start off a franchise, they are not OK with the sales and they go back and milk Halo for 3 more years and advertise every yearly dudebro game out there?

I don't want to be rude or anything, but the fact is, not every groundbreaking game will sell millions, and if that is not the case MS tends to bury them fast. Fool me once, shame on you...

Every publisher does this. I'm not sure why you're singling MS out, and Perfect Dark was FAR from a failure. 

Well it had to be if MS decided not to make a sequel. I was talking about financial failure, not critical one, and I singled them out from the 3 console manufacturers, because they tend to do it far more then any other, especially Nintendo.

wow dude. they didnt even show the game or say who is fucking making it and you slam it already? wow, just wow. 


Do you even read what I wrote there? Or are you one of those "First!" posters?

I am more then certain the game will be good, MS has the financial power to make that almost certain. I was talking about sales, franchise possibilities, and then going back to the same old tactics. Easy as that...

PDZ sold .76 million. That was a better number in '05 than now.  Not every decent seller is guaranteed a sequel.

Pretty sure it sold over 1m, europe is missing sales for some odd reason.

Decent sales for the IP

I will wait for the inevitable PC version(s)

Traduction : "Please stay with us, you will get super new original ip, I PROMISE"

Show your games, then talk, not the other way around, thanks. If you have new games, then do a Ms show like sony or nintendo maybe ? No ?

I need to see it to believe it. However, Phil is a great head for Xbox and he's been saying all the right things so far.

Yup, especially when he then cites sunset overdrive and breaking out of the Gears / Halo / Forza mold. That's not pushing boundaries. Pushing boundaries is not having invincible kids in games, child soldiers, baby killers, training an army of suicide bombers. Hope he means a traditional kickass platformer instead.
