Heavenly Sword dev on Xbox One: "It's completely the wrong direction"

Thanks for the worst Devil May Cry in the whole series, Tameem. I mean c'mon... the Unreal Engine for a DMC? What the f*ck were you thinking?

They will probably start putting the console hardware directly into HDTVs after this generation is over. Then you can just download games right to the TV, which will essentially be a PC/TV.

Who gives a shit what he thinks about Xbox1… get working on a Heavenly Sword sequel for PS4 already son!!! Long overdue!

While I'm not really quite sure why or if I should value this guys opinion in the 1st place only time will tell if MS got the XB1 right or not.

Fun little time wasters in the mobile space might sell well when the title is a "big hit" but the space is to crowded with junk and scams to be able to focus the market attention on the hand full of quality titles that may exist - besides when you take "micro transactions" out of the model and add the bazillion different devices (resolutions+hardware) to support and lack of battery life the 3DS and even Vita are more viable options.

I've likely installed and then quickly deleted more titles on ether iOS or Android than I've purchased for all my portable gaming hardware or my PS3 and PC combined.

Fortunately Ninja Theory righted their own ship and gave us DMC and Enslaved, cuz Heavenly Sword was garbage.

Ninja Theory was originally Just Add Monsters and made Kung Fu Chaos for the original Xbox. One of the best games nobody played. It's dripping with attitude and humor, and possibly the best couch co-op I ever played.

Mobile is not doing well and like a facebook reality is setting in for developers that went chasing the easy dollar. It doesn't exist. The Mobile market is full of thieves and it's hard to advertise your product (so I read) and while a few can make money the rest can't and are moving back toward consoles and PC. With the introduction of Android powered gaming devicies the mobile market may see a large desertion in favor of these platforms, by gamers anyway. And always remember the lesson that Nintendo Learned. The Causal market will move on. They did so from the Wii and they did so from Facebook. I wouldn't be a long term business model on the causal market.

Another big issue that will probably kill the mobile market is the health risks that cell phones pose. While not a major issue yet Health Insurance companies consider cell phones to be the next aspestos and cigarettes. When this becomes main stay news which just like the previous two major health hazards it will, you'll see the mobile market nose dive. I'm not exagerating this issue, France is already moving away from Wifi in their schools and Cell Phone companies are quietly putting legal disclaimers in their disclaimers saying you can't sue them for the cancer their phone gives you.

So when this guy says Mobile is going to stay I don't have a clue what he's talking about. Seems more like a fantasy or dream. In the future I do see more mobile platforms for gaming like augmented reality devices, but as more people do their shopping from home on the internet one has to wonder how long mobile will be trendy.

Some of what he says makes sense to me but who in the hell here thinks mobile is going to dominate ever! I can't get into any mobile game. They're way too shallow, too small a screen even if you have an IPad, and the controls suck big time! These people think that because some will buy several $1 or F2P apps, that the masses really prefer mobile over console or PC, give me a break! You're out of your frigging mind! None of it appeals to me and believe me, I've tried. It's like loving and playing chess but then trying to go back and enjoy a quick game of Tic-Tac-Toe, you can't do it! It's mind-numbingly too simple and dumb.

forget xbox and give us HEAVENLY SWORD

Padding Enslaved's gameplay? COMPLETELY THE WRONG DIRECTION.

What does Ninja Theory know? I'm British and Americans lead some of the world best concept and sell them profitability. I'm glad Microsoft are trying to hint out that there a bigger world out there instead of an Xbox. Ninja Theory simply trying to cash in onto the hype with there childish statements and they should grow up. Maybe join Microsoft like Rare did to see how it feels, not just sit there watching the world at large!

I liked DMC...

Yeah, these devs sure know what gamers want. All of their games are crap and they ruined Devil May Cry by giving us exactly what we don't want. How about they STFU.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I enjoyed Heavenly Sword. That game was awesome. Short but awesome.

So right about the first half until mobile gaming is mentioned. No one wants to play GTA5 on their phone.

The thumbnail looks like somebody forgot his pants

So many attention whores, they are not getting coverage so babble something about nex-gen and they get to be hot topic. To be fair he did have a few sensible points, a few.

And about steam box....., it will probably fail, as linux is a horrible choice for an OS, they should have made a custom OS instead of the underperforming linux. And it doesn't give acces to games(as much as I hate to admit) as much as windows.

Steam offers most of the games found on consoles, plus an enormous library of games not found on consoles. The choice is easy for me this generation.

I'm confused. Are steam box a console or a beefed up pc or is it something else?

He is right, consoles are just closed boxes. No innovation going on there. Steambox is looking great and mobile technology is becoming better and better everyday. Consoles will die in next 5 years.

Firstly, I was under the impression that he's dissing all three consoles, not just the XBox.

Secondly, it's too bad all three of those games cited under your name sucked, right Tameem? Think mobile gaming will somehow give you a better crack at it? I think not.

I don't care for mobile gaming. If they somehow adopt a dull FOV Oculus Rift and more practical controls then it's a possibility, but until then I'm not interested in playing on a tinier screen with smaller controls. Portability loses out to immersion in my book.

You guys kinda miss the big picture. The future is mobile gaming for sure but not in the sence of playing Angry Birds and all that crap.... As a hardcore PC gamer I would love to have a mobile that Does everything my PC does + more. Just Imagine you can take your PC everywhere with you and play all those "serious" games whenever and wherever you like. And keyboarb + mouse/controller, streaming to tv etc. Are trivial and solvable drawbacks in the future IMO. PC's will be only for servers and console will be mostly cable boxes.
