Why were they not wearing masks and social distancing?

It was February 2020. Just before COVID

I wasn't being serious, but thank you.

How does Phil Spencer still have a job?

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

What he played that time, when they not even decided camera view four years later?

It was probably Demon Souls

 

[MarkMe2525]

I forgot that this was a thing

I used to be more ambivalent on Xbox's mismanagement of titles. I have a series x. I never play it. I have like 3 years of gamepass I got mega cheap that my son uses I guess. Maybe I'll stream gamepass to my steamdeck eventually. Shit feels dead. I'm actually getting upset now thinking about how we don't have BANGER Halo games, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazzooie games, Conker. Shit SHOULD be hopping. Coalition is at least doing their part.

These people are retards.

Dang, I remember when I heard about the Initiative first being formed. I thought, "That sounds great. Let's what see what they come up with."

Four years later, and it's ... this? Damn. So much time, money, and resources down the drain.

 

[Heisenberg007]

It's fine. AAAA games take time to develop.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Nate the Hate on Spawn Wave's show is saying Perfect Dark is actually in a good state right now and Grubb might have old information. These rumors seem to get out of hand with Xbox.

 

[NikuNashi]

I'm convinced that Xbox management have no idea how to make good games.

 

[wipeout364]

I am just going to say it, perfect Dark and rough state is like peanut butter and chocolate. Please name me one perfect dark game that is not in a rough state. And don’t say the n64 version with its single digit frame rates.

 

[Porcile]

They should remake the first game from the ground up and actually prove they can even make a game first before saying they're going to make the world's first AAAA game lol

The remaster they put out on the 360 was decent.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Nothing new. Every xbox first party game is always in a rough state or dev hell. These people are complete imbeciles at their jobs. Spencer, Booty and Bond all need to be fired. Pathetic that a company this wealthy and now with all these devs under their belt STILL can’t make good new games on a regular basis. Shows how piss poor their management truly is. The studios shouldn’t be getting axed but instead Phil and Co. should get their walking papers and be replaced with actual competent people. People who believe in an actual console base and actual solid consistent AAA games to support a healthy ecosystem and draw new customers in. Not rocket science and has been the whole point of console gaming for many years now but for some reason Phil and Co. cant or dont want to recognize that.

It seems like DF may have heard something about this also...

I likes John's idea with an hybrid hardware device. Playing Xbox, and PC titles with Steam, Epic etc stores on there could be very successful.

Except MS would lose 30% of all 1st party games sales to Steam and Epic if they do this. Plus 100% of sales if a 3rd party game is sold on it. This would be a HORRIBLE move!

Yeh, that would be like creating an emulation handheld and trying to make money off anything but the hardware (and in Microsoft's case they usually subsidise the hardware so they'd just lose money). It's one of the reasons I'm really unsure about this whole handheld PC idea (or even living room XBox PC), it makes sense for Steam deck, not so much for Microsoft.
