I think its policy changes. I can see the financial troubles maybe causing support to taper off in some areas of development. It also could be that Sony is exercising more control of the story development for some of its IP's. It seems like the people leaving could be leaving for an area where they would have more creative freedom. Any time a company starts to drop its retention some major policies have changed.

I will never again trust Sony with personal information. This was the biggest driving point for me to buy an xbox.

Arma is terrible, Arma is only good because you can modify it but that makes it only as good as the community you are apart of.

Question for the tech guys,

Im an artist so when you talk about shaders I'm thinking about Maya, shaders, and ray trace materials are these the same things? If so game systems come with pre built shaders? I thought game engines determine which shaders are what. For instance when modeling for Arma you are limited to the shaders they use in P3D but we know pc's can handle many more. So how is it that the graphics card has built in shaders?

@MirkoS77: You heard wrong, I speak in a regular tone and it picks up fine. The only command I have the most trouble with is "xbox on. "

I think this is a early excuse being made to expect terrible games with no plot.

The Last of Us,

I haven't played the game I own an xbox but the story makes me want to get it.

@jasonredemption: There is no Spoon.

What exactly is broken?

While it is true that you are forced to own a kinect with your xbox 1 it is however completely integrated with the system and is not attached as an after thought. This is what I appreciate. Also packaging kinect will keep the user base from being fractured. The only analogy I can think of right now is that Playstation is like android and Microsoft is like Apple.

This thread makes baby jesus cry,

1. Being an artist is cool, being an artist that cannot feed his family is not

2. The creative director and director are the people you should be focusing on, similar to how the vision of a Miyazaki film is executed all his team supports his vision the artist, on the team and inject very small amounts of their own personal flair but the end goal is the vision.

3. Guess who ultimately shapes the vision? The producer the person with the money. I don't care how beautiful your game is or how ground breaking unless you pay for it yourself you need someone to pay all the artist, programmers, writers, consults, musicians and etc.
