This E3 is gonna make or break the Xbox brand, thats for sure.
I'm pretty sure this E3 won't change anything big for you(and me, and everyone)'s vision for Xbox brand.

So people don't have to agree with me but since there's so much discussion about it, I think it's plainly clear that Scorpio is an attempt to lock in people into the Live ecosystem that would otherwise float to PS4 or PC (where they wouldn't pay for Xbox live). I think it's about service fees and not first party games. I guess we will see but I don't think first party games are the point.
Scalebound though? Platinum games aren't usually broken at launch. Inclined to think Microsoft probably wronged Platinum in some way with this game and then couldn't ship it
I disagree with this. Platform holders need to create a diverse portfolio of games to attract a wide range of gamers. Not every game can, or should, be a mega hit. I don't think Microsoft have ever understood this.
So what does Xbox have going for it in Japan now?
Decently useful as a weighty doorstop? :/
That game will be fine
Why would you want to advertise something that will never exist?
Can I pop in the game and play THE FULL game without having to worry for running out of install space? Or attaching other HDDs? Or installing new HDDs?
No?
Then It's an installbox, and I might as well start up my PC and install it there. I know, like I said, that isn't a popular opinion, but it bugs me. I know now you'll start attacking me over it (and maybe I should not mention it buy I'm seriously pissed about the cancellation), but the fact that even PS4 with it's streamlined install (try going outside the beaten path and you still need to wait for it to install, but very often games have you play the first part in 30 seconds... clever..but still... install).. it still is a shitty install box.
and yes my mood is foul.
Come on Nintendo, do what you did with Bayonetta... fund the development and save this game as a Switch Exclusive. Make it glorious and show those losers at MS what true winning is like.
Heard he took time off for his mental health, yea :-/

My take on all this, and I've been seeing this for a while, is that Microsoft is transitioning all their games to the 'live service' model.
Daniel Ahmad ‏@ZhugeEX
Basically Microsoft want to have their games emulate what Minecraft has been able to do.
Long lifecycle, large user base, Increased spend.

Microsoft's future direction is about being able to offer the Xbox games and live services on multiple devices that run Windows 10.
Is this true!?
lmao sit it out? MS cancelling it is them sitting it out they were paying for the thing.All they had to do was SIT IT OUT! That is all MS HAD TO DO! So yes it bloody well is their fault. Kamiya would have finished the game and I would have had it in my grubby hands. But noooope, MS being MS.. they probably wanted some Microtransactions in there or some other thing that made Kamiya go "you know.. fuck this shit.... I'll go make a Nintendo game instead".
It was literally the ONLY Japanese Developer they HAD that made an exclusive for them!
SO you bet your damn arse it is their fault. If it is your only one, you pamper that studio! You don't chase them off. You don't go acting like Nintendo in SNES days, when you are Nintendo in Wii U days!

Three Activision licensed titles, one of which was at least solid, and Star Fox Zero with most of the design work done by Miyamoto/Nintendo. I'd say Platinum's supposed fall from grace is mostly overblown baloney.
Wooooooooowwwww. Just woke up to this and already 70 pages. Geez this is huge blow for MS.
Not gonna lie though, it looked awful and probably was gonna be.
Actually if you look at the profit margins for games this gen that model specifically not only is the most profitable, but it's what most developers in general are leaning towards. Sony's been doing it too, with the shit ton of grinding/MTs in the MP of ND's games which are among their most expensive games to produce.

A bad game in development got cancelled is how this looks. Happens all the time. Why is this thread 67 pages? its not anything new in game development that troubled games are cancelled. Even Platinum can misfire, cough Korra cough TMNT cough.

For me, backwards compatibility.

I'd say the more common theme is that MS keeps meddling in all of the studios they buy/projects they fund to the point where they pivot/scope creep themselves to death whereas Sony generally lets their studios do their thing. Not that Sony never releases bad games or kills projects/studios, but they also didn't demand that Naughty Dog turn UC4 into a VR co-op open world game midway through development.
Good luck selling that.

Does this vision end the same way the Dreamcast did?
That game will be fine

I don't think that's too uncommon.
The official videos are pretty much just marketing for a game that doesn't exist anymore, there's still all the re-uploads and other channels with the same footage/trailers.
Now, if for some reason they started doing DMCA takedowns of those videos, then that'd be some bullshit.

Kamiya looked good back in the day.INB4 "ask your mum" tweets
reallyWho's salty though ?
So when will Mark Cerny go on a tour with Hideki Kamiya to all the Sony internal studios?
