HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuck me I've never seen a company

Didn't the xbox dude say recently that games like BOTW and Horizon are dated and not what they will be going to be doing?

>>381327716
Says nothing about the quality of the game, they are just looking for an artist that can draw environments similar to HZD.

Are you too retarded to read?

>>381328087
Yes. Phil Specner praised both games and then said Microsoft is not interested in doing smiliar games.

>>381328087
They also said Zelda is animtendo thing and then made scalebound and insiders said it was there answer to zelda

>>381329829
Well, hey, Scalebound didn't get outsold by zelda, so mission success

>>381328627
I can read. You know what it tells me?

>"Looking for Lead Environment Artist for Microsoft AAA Nextgen Title..."
>"Style: we're too lazy to come up with our own cool idea, so we're going to make a rip-off of Horizon Zero Dawn".

>>381327716
He meant 'We are looking for people who can work on open world' games.
Horizon Zero dawn itself is nothing original and The witcher 3 is far more impressive on PC.

>>381328087
>>381329714
>>381329829
No. He said those games don't make as much money as "Game as service" and Online multiplayer game which is indeed completely true.

>>381330304
>Horizon Zero Dawn
So something like Far Cry, The witcher 3 and Assassin Creed?

>>381327716
But don't they already have Scalebound? :^)

>>381331678
This, what's the point of cancelling a Platinum game only to completely start from scratch posting job ads and shit? Do they not realize that they're just pissing off potential developers and customers?
I understand that falling for a sunk cost is bad if Scalebound wasn't the direction that Microshaft wanted to go, but they clearly do based on this ad.
They have a rap sheet of being absolutely retarded, see: Forza 6 FTP; Forza Horizon 3 barely running on a GTX 1080; the fuckfest that was Quantum Break; Gears 4: Short Campaign that everybody will forget edition; cancelling Scalebound; making people pay for Live on PC if they want windows store game deals, and probably some other shit I've forgotten.
They clearly have no idea what they're doing in the PC gaming market. Sadly, this new game might not even come to PC and will just be used to sell their newest console.

>>381330304

Only thing HZD had going for it was robo dinos, everything else was lifted from more popular and successful games.

They cancelled it because fans were hyping it up too much and being excited about Scalebound. That made Platinum feel good. Phil couldn't have that so he called Capcom and they told him a story about MML3.

Are you ok? Have you pre-ordered your brand new Xbox One X yet anon?

Instead of Robot Dinos it will be Zombie Dinos

The protagonist will be a red headed man named Allen

Instead of Arrows, Bombs, Traps and Ropes you use Guns. Just guns

Instead of being set in the future it will be set in THE PAST...

The game is called Morizon*: Zero Creativity. Scheduled for 2020 before being cancelled a year before

>>381338645
Yes, because Robo Dinos are Environments
and protagonists are environments
and weapons are environments
and gameplay is environments

So they need an environmental artist to make robo dinos, protagonists, gameplay, and weapons just like the ones in HZD.

Phil Spencer or not that statement did more damage then they possibly could know. Microsoft has a habit of insulting its customer base frequently. The success of the 360 gave them a level of arrogance they still haven't gotten out of.

>>381339080
Don's statement was about online/offline.

Phil's statement is about not having single player games anymore and going to games as a service, saying that backwards compatibility is going to solve the lack of single player games.

I know he got a "lateral promotion" after this and became a CEO at Zynga. Then he left there after two years.
I guess he's retired and set for life, living in Hawaii.
