Well at least he supposedly has a noble cause for pissing off the entire PC community, he's got guts I'll give him that. I don't game on PC but from what I've heard, maybe if your store itself was better people wouldn't be AS mad.
Also I know these are different situations, but I still feel it ironic that Sweeney was on Microsoft's ass a while back for releasing THEIR OWN GAMES only on Windows store, supposedly helping ruin the gaming industry by not giving players choice... yet now Epic is doing something similar but even worse by actually actively going out and buying exclusives for his store while Microsoft has started releasing games on Steam haha.
That's reassuring to hear. I think big games like Forza should have a 3 year minimum dev time and they've been going every 2 years for a long time now, can't wait to see FM8 at next E3. As for Halo, it's desperately needed. H4/5 had good parts to them but it seemed like they were really high quality in one area and low in another. I'm so excited for Infinite, it looks like Halo again, now I just need to know how much it FEELS like Halo.
That's actually exactly what I want out of a console, same function just better. I love Nintendo games but you can't convince me the Wii, Wii U, and Switch are good consoles, at least for what I want out of them. I would much rather Nintendo just make a traditional console that can keep up with Sony/Microsoft instead of motion control, touch screen, portable based consoles.
This is the problem with these big publishers making GAAS. They put in the minimum work and content needed to at least launch the game so they have a foundation, THEN they work on actually making it a good game that takes several years to reach. But by then so many people don't care and even if the game is great, they won't come back so you've lost their business AND your reputation has been damaged.
@videogameninja: Yeah I don't think anyone should expect any huge announcements. I'd like it if they would keep big announcements for the big events like E3 and indies to streams like this. Big reveals a few times a year with lots of info dumps and then streams like this with smaller reveals/info in between.
Hasn't Microsoft been doing Inside Xbox streams for a while now? Why are these news sites acting like this is the first time they're doing a Nintendo Direct style stream? This is just ANOTHER stream added to Inside Xbox.
They're planning on staying small? With the talent they've been hiring I figured they'd be making AAA story driven action games or something along those lines but you need big teams for that kind of stuff. Wonder what kind of game they're making.
