Damn. What the fuck is wrong with the guys managing the Xbox division?
My point is, people are judging them for one game they didn't like and yet no one pointed out DH's library of shit. Yet MS happened to work with DH on their own exclusive.
Exactly what I was thinking. Interesting offline single player game? Fuck it, can't milk anyone with that.
No room for microtransactions, clearly.
At the time this game was pitched... that was all Mattrick.
To be objective, Sony used to reject games to their peril (Meat Boy anyone).
[...]Then the Xbox One plans were announced and everything changed. The people at Microsoft say that the game doesn't fit in the strategy of the new console, that they are looking for "connected experiences" and the social factor. Rime didn't fit because it was a single-player game, a very traditional game experience. [...]
[...]Oh, also the answer to last weeks question why is there no ps3 version of SMB was Because Sony didnt express interested in the game.[...]We had started development of SMB for PC, Wii, Xbox and Ps3. we had kits for all systems and the game ran on all consoles. we submitted our current build to MS and Sony and it was as simple as Sony not getting back to us expressing interest in picking up the title and MS grabbing it up as soon as we submitted it.[...]
Elop didn't get the gig, they promoted Nadella to CEO.So glad he's gone. I know Elop is not too popular around here but let's see what he can do.

As far as the Xbox division goes, there's no one in Mattrick's old position but Spencer seems to be the highest ranking guy.
I'm okay with that, Spencer lobbied hard for Below and the Killer Instinct revival.
Except for completely different reasons.
The producer of their last piece of garbage?Thats an awesome pitch. Who'd say no to that?
Here's to hoping the Rime comes to every platform, just so more people can play it.
Microsoft and EA are clearly brothers.
Microsoft's loss is Sony's gain.
Yes, brothers in terms of doing profitable business. Comparing EA's, Microsoft's and Sony's numbers of the last 5 years it looks like out of the 3 companies the Japanese fellas aren't doing too good
And? What the fuck do you care if they're more profitable than Sony? Microsoft and EA have shitted on consumers such as myself and yourself while Sony hasn't (well, as much). That's all that matters.

Huge mistake. Rime is beautiful.

I love how everyone is white knighting Sony. Things such as the removal of other os, bw compatibility etc have been completely forgotten.

MS: single player? Can we at least get a gun on the cover? It's missing the social experience found in real Xbox one games, have you seen Titanfall?Evidently, Microsoft.
They weren't forgotten and I'm sure Sony was criticized pretty hard by Neogaf at the time( I don't know, I wasn't a member at the time). But look at the way Sony has rebounded, they are in a much better position now. You really want people to create threads saying "hey remember when Sony did this" instead of talking about the similar mistakes that Microsoft is making?I love how everyone is white knighting Sony. Things such as the removal of other os, bw compatibility etc have been completely forgotten.
But lets stay on topic before we risk a ban over this. This game has me really interested as I love adventure and exploration games. I hope it turns out better than Tequilas first attempt.

The "Rime" pitched to MS is a very different game than the one now in development for Sony.
Isometric RTS like tower defense game without a clear goal? A phone style game for the Xbone? Over 3 million dollars?
Good chance Sony would have dismissed them too. Maybe they did, considering they massively changed the concept.
That's even more interesting, does Rayman have MP OR Co-op?
This
and no shooting?
Who would want that?

Baffling, but the game is a good fit for the PS4 anyway with the whole Journey/ICO vibe it has going on.
