>"We were given a proposal, the million-man raid," Obsidian co-owner and CEO, Feargus Urquhart, tells me. >"Conceptually what came from Microsoft was this idea: imagine you're playing The Witcher, maybe with a friend. What happens if at points in time a giant creature pops up that you can see in the distance and it's not just popping up while you're playing, it's popping up for everybody who's playing. You all rush this creature and there's this haze around it, and as you're all rushing through the haze the game is matchmaking you into 40-man raids who are going to fight the creature.
>"Then you fight it, but while the creature is being fought all the footage is being recorded up into the cloud. Then at the end we would come up with some kind of intelligent editing thing which would deliver everybody who fought a personalised, edited video of their participation in the raid. >That is what was proposed to us."

Sounds gay.
Imagine just how gay, given how all those e3 "gameplay" videos are.
And ideas, pitched by some suit in Microsoft EVER being decent in practice?

I bet Sean Murray is working on that editing software now.

Why the fuck would Microsoft approach Obsidian of all devs with this?

Dragon's Dogma did something like this right? You fight the dumb dragon in the dungeon with a billion health and when it finally dies a month later everyone who participated got some rewards based on how much damage they did.

It was probably a youtuber bait project so they needed the game to hilariously shitting itself at every possible moment.

Sounds gimmicky and the "recap" would get old after 1 watch.
Glad they didn't do it.

Microsoft Studios has published great lower budget games unfortunately they have no idea how to compete with the big boys like EA and Ubisoft.
