Microsoft said no to PlayStation 4 exclusive Rime

"Part of job is living with mistakes," said Spencer......... The whole marketing campaign of the Xone

When i see this game, i think of Legend of Zelda Wind Waker

"Part of the job...."

DID HE SAY PART????

reminds me of the game ICO....SOLD :-D

"Part of job is living with [an Xbone]," says Microsoft exec Phil Spencer.

"Part of job is living with mistakes," says Microsoft exec Phil Spencer.

Then I hope you live a long time because you have quite a few mistakes to burn off..

One of the reasons I like Sony is because they embrace titles like these, it doesn't need to be a million seller shooter, they are willing to take risks.

Well... is Microsoft after all.

I'm quite sure that they showed him something, but their focus was on other things instead of games.

I loved playing Gauntlet in the arcades like 20 years ago. would be interesting to see a good remake. Maybe they have one and I don't know about it?

Shooters and sports. Sports and shooters. And a few lame attempts occasionally otherwise. Once Microsoft gets its head wrapped around something, it runs it into the ground and then claims it's the leading edge. Windows 8, as one example. Absolute commitment to Kinect is another. The one string of about-faces this last summer was the only time Microsoft actually unwrapped its head, out of abject terror.

Microsoft goes for the big guns, clearly. These are the kind of risks they need to take. But to their defense, the description of the game is odd.

Innnttteerrresstttinngg!

I can see why they turned them down. Their description of the game is weird, Gauntlet, Minecraft and Jason of the Argonauts? That's an odd combination and the version of the game they're showing looks nothing like any of those, seems more like Journey meets ICO.

Don't forget that they'd already made a game for Microsoft (Deadlight) which ended up being just OK and didn't really sell that well, so as much as people like to hate on Microsoft this seems like a perfectly reasonable business decision.

apparently beggars CAN be choosers

Closely watching the development of the Xbox One since they announced it last year I would have to say that with all that has happened, Spencer's statement should be his ENTIRE job is to live with mistakes.

seems his still living on mistakes to pass this out

Because the xbox is just a fancy tv, while the PS4 is just a games station lol.

This is why i love Sony, they are willing to take risks with game concepts they have no business greenlighting. You can have your Resistance's, Killzones's and other bro shooters while also enjoying niche and unorthodox gaming experiences like The Puppeter, Journey and Ni No Kuni. Now if only they could stop sending some of their games out to die.

MS has a lot to learn about gaming yet. Maybe in the next gen, MS, maybe..

does no one else here think this game looks remarkably TOO similar to ICO?

Rime looks good. That's one I'm interested in.
