So ppl here are actually waiting for a shooter or two to be announced for xbox so they can decide not to buy it?
Wasn't there a thread about how PS3 has more shooters than xbox? *shrugs*.

They are saying they don't want more shooters.
This is how I see most gaming websites and forums.

Man people are really touchy. The jokes are warranted considering the last time they said they had a lot of exclusives to talk about they showed us a bunch of Kinect games that didn't garner a lot of interest. And remember those xbla games? Me either. Or that game that looked a little like God of War? What happened to those games after reveal?
They may have something awesome up their sleeve but recent history suggest you may want to temper your expectations a little expecting 4 blockbuster games.

I wasn't arguing with you. I just liked what you said and used it as a jumping off point. Hope that's OK

I seriously doubt they are building four new big AAA core franchises.

Kinect Instinct. By microtransactions he means combos will be paid DLC.

Why? It doesn't mean they'll be announced at E3, that could be one a year for the next four years.
Anytime someone says GAF is particularly biased one way or the other, it's just confirmation bias.
I don't see why not. It doesn't have to be launch games
I am not sure Ryse counts as "new IP" but I am sure the Black Tusk game does and maybe the Rare game too.

Its just people waking up to reality.

Could one of our technical gurus replace Duck Season with Xbox and Rabbit Season with Playstation?
Hahahahahaha...*breathes*...Hahahahahaha!
On the topic, one of the new IPs must be the AAA shooter the new Microsoft Studio (I don't remember the name...Not Vancouver...nevermind) is allegedly working on. I would think that Rare will be pushing a new license as well...
Sorry, that last line wasn't directed at you specifically, it was for those making excuses for the trolling. Looking back, I should have put it in the beginning of my post, not after my commentdirected at you.

This happened randomly to me about 3 months ago. Around before the Wii U launch, I was counting up successful new IP's, and just 1st party quality in general from each company, when I got to MS, it finally dawned on me... they don't have a whole lot.
Sony has more shooters, but they also have a lot more variety.
I'm actually hoping for a real shooter and a real RPG. Halo is trash now and Fable was always trash. Forza is great though so they don't need a new racing franchise.

Didn't they move it to use the traditional controller in lieu of being completely Kinect focused?
Rumors say so at least, or optional Kinect.
Also Crytek Frankfurt is working on it so it's getting some good attention.
They guy is one of the managers running the "Core" publishing initiative. Almost all the positions have already been filled (Some have been working there for two years signing deals). Most of their joblistings have this signature phrase:
There are some different projects floating around:
- New effort to create a franchise that blends the best elements of games and TV/film. Maybe related to their LA Studio, who is also kind of scouting for the same thing.
- The Core Games Publishing team’s charter is to partner with the best developers in the world to create the next great core franchises for this generation and future generations of Xbox. Makes me think that they are not only looking at US or Canada based developers, but also Europe. Crytek's Ryse could also fit here.
- They are looking for a Senior Producer to drive the future of gaming through a hybrid of AAA core games and service-based experiences, technology, and business model.
- They are looking for a producer to work with Epic. Either could be the next Gears or new IP.
They were looking for Design Director with proven creative and leadership ability to work with external developers on Microsoft’s core titles, including shooters, RPGs, action/adventure, etc.
I really love Crytek, people shit on Crysis 2, and yeah, it was a big step back, but it's still amongst the best of the genre, and a real exclusive from them has to be a very cool push for a first party. If it's still Kinect, I'm not interested, but even if it is, it's going to look incredible.
That could be possible, but I don't think he would want to brag about that on his linkedin. Seems like more projects that are greenlighted.
Kinect sports is great. The bowling alone is worth the price of the whole system. I love seeing the replays after the game. Also, since Kinect, how has Microsoft imploded as a gaming company? I know you said "to you" but what types of games did they not deliver on that you were hoping for? I had so many games to play, so many types, so many genres, I just don't have nearly the time to play them all. What is it that you are looking for that ms does not provide as a gaming company? Just curious because Sony and MS are identical to me as far as enjoyment (I play xbox more as I have a ton of xbla games). I own both systems and will own the next two.
Also, I see this new narrative on GAF that MS is losing the "core" gamer. Where the fuck did this start? Unless I'm dead wrong, isn't MS going into the "next generation" with strong sales of the 360, kinect, and xbl subscriptions? Was there some huge ms only dropoff that showed that "core" gamers were tired of ms?

There has been two attempts by Rare at a Banjo karting game so it could still be a possibility.

Good God, reading the recent Gaf threads about next gen rumors you would think this had turned into N4G.com. 4 out of 5 posts pretty much just trolling fanboys.
I for one am excited for MS to have 4 new IP's. They have invested a lot in a number of new studios so hopefully we will finally start to see the fruits of their labor.

Yeah. It's like watching the trailer. All those great visuals and there is the Kinect fighting - it just does not fit together very well.
Nice work looking this stuff up and compiling it.

Excited about these new IPs. Microsoft is keeping a lot of stuff close to the vest and I think it will work out nicely come E3 when they really start hammering home their argument to be the console of choice next generation. I expect there to be some big time heavy hitters in this lineup too. As somebody who doesn't game nearly as much as I used to (but still partake in AAA games), I'm excited.
Good stuff but I doubt it'll shut up anyone who thinks MS doesnt care about them as a "core gamer".
Definitely should have. Hopefully it was their version of Five-Hundred and Ninety Nine US Dollars.

Someone fucking do this!!

Ryse could be Ms' answer to God of War, if handled properly.
Make it a traditional action-adventure and you're good.
Even a first person action game, why not. But with Kinect...it's not going to work.

Lmao. Someone needs to make it
One would hope.
Though after the hype, interest, and sales of Kinect has died, you'd think they would know not to invest so much into it next Gen. We'll see if they've learned.
Thanks for the gathering of news. The bitching about shooters isn't a MS thing. They've money hatted and put together a ton from the beginning in terms of content, it's as if those don't count. Just look back at Xbox days and compare it to their efforts this gen, what a fucking joke of a comparison. I've no doubt MS will continue this. Just will miss the JRPG support, as I doubt it'll happen again.
Yeah, thought so too. I wonder how that will fair with triple A games.
Somebody needs to make jokes about Halo, Kinect, Xbox Live Gold, Metro, cable boxes, and advertisements the first post in these threads so that actual discussion can happen sooner.

As a Nintendo fan, I feel sorry for you Microsoft fans who have to deal with this shit. It's not cool.
As a video game fan, I'm looking forward to seeing what these are, and hope they aren't all shooters.
As someone that likes jokes, the Kinect stuff on the first page was pretty funny. Sorry, guys. I LAUGHED OKAY

Ryse was always said to be some sort of hybrid game using the Kinect and controller, recent rumors have it as a "better with Kinect" game.
Was it ever stated which studios the naughty Dog and Irrational guys MS hired are going to? I don't remember them stating they were for 343I.
No, there's a lot of Kinect hate in this board, and that's understandable.

Someone get on this
Some of them did go to 343i I thought. There were guys from ND and Valve at 343i
