Is Microsoft's gaming department dying or something?

I'd rather Xbox exist so there's at least an illusion of competition, I guarantee Sony would start being a massive cunt if it's competitors dropped off.

But there is competition

Friendly reminder that MS are in pre-production on a HZD clone. This comes only about a month after Phil Spencer was taking snarky pops off at HZD and BotW, saying that people don't care about story-driven single player games anymore.

how good of a game was crackdown? i never hear about it, even though it existed. even seems like infamous is uttered in conversation more often, but that may just be my selective hearing.

>>387395990
I kind of want that since MS has consistently been the shittiest but if they go under then it'll just be the Playstation and Nintendo in the console business, in other words if you want to play your standard normie games then your only choice will be a PS# and that sucks

>>387396159
First one's good, though it's showing its age a bit these days. The sequel's crap, though.

Just buy a PS4, it's the best console since Dreamcast, there's too many games to play

>>387395826
IF THEY CANCEL CRACKDOWN THEY BETTER FUCKING HAVE A PC PORT OF THE FIRST GAME READY FOR RELEASE!

>>387396159
Pretty good game you play as a genetically modified super cop in a city thats been overrun and taken over by 3 rival gangs and you are tasked with reclaiming the city by killing higher ups in the gangs and the kingpins. its a really fun open world sandbox game, all the weapons are fun to use, driving is smooth, upgrades to your character make a significant impact on your performance in certain areas its a simple game but really fun, pick it up if you have 360 still it goes for around $2-$3 at gamestop

>>387396127
What do you mean by a HZD clone? It focuses on archery and what not in an open world?

How on earth does this keep happening? Are the devs that incompetent or does MS keep creeping the project scope? Not even an Xbro, but I just can't stand to see this happen to Crackdown.

Probably intentional sabotage so they can justify killing the Xbox brand.

YES! LORD SPENCER SIR!!!

If the Xx_Xbox_xX flops (I mean actually flops, not in the /v/ sense of underperforming = tanking) , will we see the last of MS in the console business?

>>387396920
Either Microsoft's following really stupid logic
>durrr let's compete and stay profitable by not releasing games
Or they're in more trouble than they're letting on. They might try crawling back to PC gaming, but a bit late for that.

>>387396159
Pseudo open world (you can go anywhere but there's no real interaction besides destroying things) that has you shut down various gang leader operations to lure out or weaken them for the boss battles. Mostly known for having a zillion stat boost orbs to collect via climbing and jumping up everything in the city.
Unlike similar games like Saints Row 4, falling from heights can damage or kill you so there's a bit of danger when scaling giant skyscrapers and the like.
2nd game blows, don't bother.

Phil Spencer is a fucking hack, news at eleven.

>>387396127
Who cares lmao it will get cancelled

>>387396159
It was okay
Or scored low and sold poorly though and people say it was only somewhat popular because it had a Halo beta or some shit.

>>387395826
Don't forget they are making a Windows 10 exclusive and are not making a Xbox One exclusive. The only thing Phil has done right is Xbox and Xbox 360 BC and killing Kinect, but when it comes to games, he is shit.

You just described /v/. /v/ likes LO because since it's so average it's impossible to really shitpost anything other than it was average.

Consoles yes. They'll linger along and stick to shitting up PC with their Windows App store and locking titles behind that.

No? This is just the continuation of https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/games-for-windows-live-info
This have been a thing even during the 360.
Age of Empire Definitive Edition is Windows 10 only. Their goal is reach 1 billion of Windows 10 users with Windows 7 ending support in 2020.

Please anon, don't buy one on launch, for me

>>387403428
I hear you man. All my normie friends play on the Xbox, so I'm tempted to get it so I have something to play with them instead of spending my nights playing grandstrat on my PC, but fuck me do I want to play Arms real bad.

>>387405616
What about the other hundreds of times they ruined games and companies.

>Microsoft hasn't turned a profit with the XBOX AT ALL from the original to the XBOX One

Why the fuck do Microsoft insist on keeping it around if it hasn't been profitable at all?

It's hard to believe they'll even release another console after the Xbox One X if they're not even trying to make their current console more competitive exclusive wise to the PS4.

It's like if Sony just gave up on the PS3 in 2010 instead of ramping up development like they did, which was what made all the difference last gen for Sony.

>>387405616
The problem is that MS doesn't really care for console business. They have mentioned it several times that they are considering dropping/selling Xbox but they withdrew and now just push for next installment of games to be run exclusively on windows and xbox is just a side project that's going to get scrapped/incorporated into PC/windows.

They just care about consumers, as any other corporation in their place would, and games are just means to an end for them.

>>387395990
I would be interested to see who would take Microsoft's place if they ever left the market ALA Sega.

I don't think they would just drop out anytime soon, but I can see multiple fuck ups over time slowly causing the big wigs to become impatient with the brand and drop it eventually. The Xbox One X is one of those mistakes that I think will hurt them going forward.

Xbox as a brand is still selling pretty well. 2 of the last 3 gens it has outsold Nintendo home consoles. Amazing how people keep forgetting this. Also they make a killing with Xbox gold. Main reason Sony and now Nintendo are doing paid online.

>>387406042
XBone X is just one of those baffling projects that you have to wonder who it's aimed at.

>>387395826
Did anyone care about any of these games? They probably would've all flopped if they came out anyway. MS haven't released a good big game since Halo 3.

It's because the of the name. Everyone knows what Xbox is.

>>387406437
Scalebound was a cool idea and of course had that Platinum autism behind it, Fable Legends looked kind of stupid but still had that Fable fanbase behind it and Project Spark looked like a neat creation tool game at least before they shoved Conker into it

Gotta feel bad for Xbros honestly. Never owned one but it has to suck to not get any worthwhile releases.

Bad day for Xbot.
Being an Xbot feels like shit. I'm constantly given some small gifts that are supposed to ease the pain (free Lost Odyssey, Phantom Dust, nice GOLD games) but they exist to ease my pain from how hard M$ drops a ball in regard of games. Not just exclusive but games in general.

Phil is the guy that listens to Reddit and Twitter. That's why people like him but he can't get shit done.
Don't even start with pandering to nostalgiafags who drop the game they asked for after 10mins.

I'm hoping they pull back into a recovery; things are fine for now, but if MS has to abandon the console race, it'll leave only Sony and Nintendo to compete.

The three of them need each other to remain competitive, losing just one could make things even worse.

Its on everyone's (read Publishers) best interest that Microsoft stills in the industry,

>>387396029
>I guarantee Sony would start being a massive cunt if it's competitors dropped off.
they already are and said competition exist.

If Microsoft were to bail out publisher and developers will get soo fed up of Arrogant Sony and the Pseudo Monopoly that they will have to support Nintendo too

If only they hadn't equipped the xbone with a shitty smartphone tier CPU they wouldn't have this problem.

>>387408493
No are you retarded? Consoles are run by AMD and Ryzen just came out. It's too new.

>>387395826
Why can't the CIA run a gaming division?

The one who hurt the most is Fable Legends. It was basically finished.

>>387408598
Dude, the consoles have powerful enough GPU's to hit 60fps, but can't since they're bottlenecked by the weak shitty CPU.
Crackdown's biggest draw is the new physics engine they created to simulate destruction, which takes an enormous amount of processing power. If the CPU is too weak to handle this shit you're fucked, so that's probably what they're struggling with, especially as they want to make this work online as well.

So let me ask, are you retarded?

>>387405473
It was released but was an online only game. They shut down the servers in less than a year

>>387403428
Xbot here. What is really fascinating is MS somehow managed to even turn into his fans bitter. At least when the PS3 was utter shit for years, Sony sucked it up and released exclusives (even if they weren't that good). It looks like MS is not even trying. They just gave up and treat the machine as a prebuilt PC.

I don't have much time to play and multiplats are enough for me but it is obvious how counter productive is this. Before, even in the OG Xbox times, people talked about games or shitpost about Sony in Xbot threads in most forums. Now I go in a thread and owners actually bashing MS and themselves because they can't find anything to cling into. Xbox X is great on the hardware front, strong, slick they delivered. But promising a single fucking Forza 7 is an atrocity. At least have something I can look forward to in the holiday season.

>>387408645

dude, who do you think makes COD

>>387409189
Yes you are. If they added a stronger & better CPU, it would be too expensive. MS and Sony go to AMD because they have cheaper deal and can get cheaper CPU than with shintel. They will eventually use Ryzen next gen. As for your complaints, Crackdown 3 will aso be available with the Windows 10 os with the Xbox plays anywhere so if you want the ultra resolution with 60 fps or uncapped, you can easily a build a PC for it if you don't have one.

>>387407159
Most of those games that were delayed have a better chance of coming out than any xbox exclusive, given that most of what they announced in 2013 that was pushed back are all cancelled except for crackdown 3. Only games to be genuinely concerned for on that list is Deep Down and Wild. There's now way games like GoW, TLOU, or RDR2 are getting canned.

>>387409353
>If they added a stronger & better CPU, it would be too expensive
Consoles are already way too expensive for what they carry in hardware. They should've waited a few more years instead of half-assing them only to release an upgraded version which performs slightly better but still like shit. Having to develop the game on console's shitty hardware is bad for the PC port too.
>hurr just build a PC
What do you think I did after I saw the disaster that was Microsoft's and Sony's console reveals?

>>387408419
Detroit I'm not sure about, but GoW and that zombie game are more than likely releasing next year, Spider-man is probably early 2019 at the least. I don't think you understand what development hell is, if your pic included Deep Down and Wild it would be more appropriate.
