He has been a big supporter of the cloud so I am not surprised.

I was surprised MS let The Witcher 3 go on the Playstation. I'd expected them to partner with CD Project for the game.
And watch them all be first person shooters lol
The series is very much tied to the PC platform though. The wiser decision will be to partner up for their next IP.
I meant console exclusive kind of like L4D or Bioshock were for the 360.

Please do the needful and have Rare release the next Perfect Dark that looks like this (@ 1080p, 60fps)....courtesy of TheOddOne:

CD Projekt doesn't strike me as the type of developer that wants to be tied down to just one platform holder or service.I was surprised MS let The Witcher 3 go on the Playstation. I'd expected them to partner with CD Project for the game.
man i thought we was about to get a game like spartacus or 300.. we ended up getting some goofy shit![]()
look at this http://youtu.be/kMclpDcG0tU
After the failing of Fable the journey and countless other games before it im sure MS understands that Kinect int suited for core games. at best it will be for simple concepts in the game. it will absolutely be a major part though doubt its for combat.
That screenshot looks really good and if the Halo 4 engine can do those kinds of scenes. I kind of want Rare to make a new Perfect Dark game using the Halo 4 engine with updated with new features to make use of better tech in the Durango.
Are Microsoft studios known for sharing tech and ideas with each other or do they have issues (like Infinity Ward and Treyarch were reported to have hard a few years back)?
They likely do share tech, but I don't think Rare needs an engine handed to them. Nuts and Bolts is one of the best looking games this generation, in my opinion, and the stuff they did with Kinect shows they have some incredibly capable developers. Plus some recent tweets indicate that they're working on some very impressive physics based content.
Rare's ability to create a technical marvel isn't one of my concerns; it just has to be creative, visually and in gameplay, unlike Perfect Dark Zero.
Didnt realize MS has been so busy. Just looked at the wiki and wow.

2012 was specially busy...
BUT, and although I want to remain optimistic, this doesn't really make me excited:
It's like, aside from Black Tusk Studios they are all meant to make social/casual/F2P games....

I'm not worried about rare at all. Viva Pinata games were great technologically and game play wise. N&B was great too. Rare's output on the 360 was far better than their GC/Xbox1 output. I think they will shock gamers.

Get used to F2P games because they are only going to grow in number. Hell, Crytek are going completely F2P in a couple of years.
You know what's funny? If PDZ had been a great game, I think people would have a completely different view of Rare as a company still. Games like Viva Pinata and Kameo seem to be ignored just because PDZ turned out to be bad. Not really fair.
That's cool if you like knowing that most of MS's new studios are going to be kinect/social/F2P driven, for me it's a red light.

That is part of Phil Harrison's job description.

That's good to hear. Hopefully he doesn't focus entirely on Cloud/casual gaming and branches out to sign some exclusives.

I actually enjoyed PDZ for what it was at the time. I would be on board for a new edition of the title.
Part of his remit I think is to sign up European development studios - probably to expand Microsoft's presence in Europe - and I am sure he will be looking for Media Molecule type studios to sign up.

Let new studios make social/casual/F2P games and free old studios
Why? Witcher 2 tanked on 360. It sold more than twice as much on PC.
Plus CDPR doesn't let themselves purposely get tied down with exclusive contracts. Sony made a much more PC friendly console this time so they get the game too now.
It's rising series that's only going to get popular so I thought it would be an ideal exclusive for Europe from MS perspective.
I still think they will sign something from CD Project tbh.
Well i agree,should be just casual/social.I don't know why people catergorise F2P with casual/social? It's just another economic model for games. Planetside 2 is a F2P game but you wouldn't say it is a casual title.

I want to see MS work with From Software again they way they did on the first Xbox.
Otogi 1 and 2 and Metalwolf Chaos being the best things out of their collaborations. Also would love to see a sequel/spiritual successor to Phantom Dust. They already have the team in place on Panzer Dragoo...erm i mean Crimson Dragon, i would love to see that game get another chance. At least re release it on XBLA for fucks sake. Not to mention the guy behind the two games expressed interest in a possible Crimson Dragon sequel that is an rpg along the lines of Azel. Damned shame if that didn't get made.
I agree. I think Cyberpunk is always a possibility.
I was playing the first one ( XBLA HD) the other day and for the most part the gameplay holds up pretty well, still fun to play. I would love to see a reboot that sort of captures feel of the original with better art direction.
If witcher 3 is coming to PS4 then cyberpunk will too. CDPR is not the type of developer who does scummy things like most others like signing exclusive deals.
Anyone ever play tentacles from pressplay? game looks cool as hell i need to try it.

I like F2P=/=casual/social since i'm playing War Thunder&World of Tanks(and would like to see this 2 games port to durango)

What is scummy about exclusivity?
It's scummy when the game you want doesn't come out on the platform you want. Didn't you hear?
entitled
