What went so fucking wrong?
Did get delcious INdia pussy in their sooner ,
xbox 911
Wait... what happened? I thought things were looking up.
>>740990469Dev layoffs aka who gives a fuck on gang
>>740990469Xbox faces thousands of layoffs this summer as new CEO orders gaming division ‘reset’Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports
>>740990517We have heard this shit since the 360 days
>>740990717Yea but this time MS wants its $$ back before it was head nod and write off
>>740990517May the woke devs become jobless
>>740990110Kinnect and Xbone. Recovery was impossible after that. Switching to Gamepass as a service was a good idea but now this new CE-poo is about to shit on it as well.
>>740990770Xbox is profitable so its all bullshit
They stopped appealing to dudebros.
I bought a PS5 expecting Xbox exclusives to come to it big mistake I wish I’d bought a Series X instead
This jeet is so based
>>740990110>What went so fucking wrong?you fell for a new logo. a fucking logo. and you thought magically overnight everything would change.
>>740990517>fire all none jeets>hire jeetsthis is what happens
>>740990469New CEO looked at the books and realizes what every same person assumed years ago. Xbox is unsustainable. They spent billions to make millions. Most games don't sell, revenue is declining despite they sell games on TWO additional platforms. Game Pass is crumbling, the next Xbox was ultra expensive thus non competitive before the RAM crisis. They need to fire people and close studios just to stay afloat. Going multiplat was a mistake and going back is impossible.
>>740990916>he bought a ps5 expecting games
>>740990110>built for firm handjobs w/unbroken eye contact
>>740991047>Rough
>>740990349The Ganges has parasites and shit in it, anonymous...
>>740991000Trips.Also, I can't believe this model went for as long as it did.Paying a studio to make a so-so game every 6 years for the GDP of an African nation was always absurd, and MS notices this NOW.It's been 16 years of this.Rare and Halo Studios can easily be downsized, given Ms only needs a few people to manage the Ips and how they will be licensed to other studios, and just act as "Quality Assurance" which BTW 343i could not even do that right.Kiki Wolf was such a stupid bitch, the Halo tv show could had been big. Anyhow, Xbox will die under a jeet.Name a more fitting end.
>>740991148nah, indians are only good for sucking dicks: see Gamesir.
>>740990517spinning off?
>>740990110>What went so fucking wrong?They allowed street shitters to spam their slop here.
what went wrong, if you stop fanboying specific studios you can see real fast.Obsidian worked on fucking 2 RPG games at the same time, both taking 5 years of development to end up underperforming. Compulsion Games - 7 years for South of Midnight??? Like WTH??? InExile Clockwork also took ca. 7 years and also does not look like anything outstanding and not even close to CDPR RPG game and nothing different like BGS style game...Basically Phills free regime over studios they spend big money on is what killing them.Ninja Theory learned their leason that people want games not art projects so their new games atleast looks like something that could become Xbox GoW... They have IPs such as Starcraft, Warcraft, TES, Fallout, Overwatch, Diablo etc. If those studios can't build art games like The Last of Us & can't create new interesting IPs like Horizon than maybe they should not have free creative control what they do...Than they have Rare that is saved just because of SoT but can't create anything else. When they could use SoT IP and make 101 pirate game people are hungry for. A Survival-RPG styled SoT game would sell like crazy...Mojang with Minecraft is again weird story. They could make Trove/Cubeworld like Minecraft game rich with content and actually being polished but no, we got Minecraft Legends a weird combo of Overlord meets Trove meets RTS game...Microsoft best option currently is to just close/sell studios like Compulsion Games and acquire Questline that made Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, give them CE and put them on FO/TES...
>>740990110I grew up with xbox 360, so many amazing games and memories. They have so many IPs to work on, but the past 15 years felt like they didn't give a single fuck and just kept them all in the drawer. Their 2 attempts, gears of war and halo were total flops so guess they can't even make games anymore.
>>740993758>If those studios can't build art games like The Last of Us & can't create new interesting IPs like Horizon than maybe they should not have free creative control what they do...>Horizon>TLOUSony is on the same exact boat.The industry has been handled by retards for like 18 years.I always thought it was incredible that Reggie walked out from Nintendo without MS, Sony, Google or Apple desperately begging him to work with them.Not even as an external consultant.Xbox was huge when it was directed by Peter Moore.The are very few men who understand this industry.Instead, at best, we have men like Ea's Tortellini who come from foreign industry trying to apply what they know when it is not applicable.
>>740993758Clockwork looks amazing
>>740991000God forbid they not make woke trash that doesn't sell
>>740990110Giving women voting rights.
>>740992930Selling the entire Xbox thing to somebody else.
>>740990110she failed fucking economics 101 and I called it out from the start
>>740994118Trump won so they can continue to vote
>>740990469>>740991000Here is a huge idea.That Pajeetta should hire me really.STOP MAKING SHITTY WOKE GAMES THAT NOBODY WANTS JUST TO PUT THEM FOR "FREE" ON GAMEPASS, THEY DON'T MAKE THEIR MONEY BACK, THEY DON'T SELL GAMEPASS SUBSCRIPTIONS, IN FACT, THEY REDUCE THE VALUE OF HAVING ONE. JUST FOCUS ON MAKING GAME PEOPLE, AND BY PEOPLE I MEAN THE TARGET AUDIENCE THAT EVERY SINGLE VIDEO GAME SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON, STRAIGHT, MALES, JUST LIKE XBOX USED TO.
>>740993758What is the point on them acquiring the devs of Tainted Grail if they continue with their current strategy of making video games for women and gays, read: people that don't buy video games.
>jeet fires peopleAnd not a single indian will lose his job
I loved getting waifus in Fable 3. I know this isnt morale, but I will like the new Fable like its a softcore h-game.
>>740990110You dumbly believe the pajeet who was put in place to gut the brand was going to save it. She's there to gut EVERYTHING and prep it for a sale.I just pray the Crash gets sold off to a better publisher.
>>740995365Watch this happen. It'll all be white people getting sacked
>>740990110Indian playbook rinse and repeat>Put Indian in a position of power>Fire all competent whites and non-indians>Hire only Indians and from India>Productivity drops>Errors, bugs, security flaws>Indians selling personal data, hacking internal servers>Overuse of AI vibe coding, nothing works>Blame everyone except themselves.
What year was the year of no return for Xbox?
>>740990110I'm legit bummed I can't play E-Day on my PS5. It looks fun as hell. I'm a sucker for detailed destruction as well so I think it looks great. Guess I'll have to get a used Series X eventually.
>>740990110I don't know how they expected to make billions when their target audience is pic related who for years used multiple accounts to try Game Pass for 10 pesos, and when that option was blocked, they started using VPNs in Turkey, Somaliland, or some other shithole. And the worst part is that they were proud of it and called Xbox “the console with the best customer service” lol
>>740995613The Xbox One reveal where it was stated that you needed to be online at all times and you couldn't share games. There was some other stuff too but I don't remember.
>>740995673They really never recovered from that.
>>740995673Isn't that the one where most of the presentation was about TV? They kept marketing Xbox as a entertainment system instead of showing games. They went on and on about Netflix and sports, and only showed a few game trailers.
>>740995781And on top of that the system would require mandatory online check ins or you'd be booted from games. Even single player. They were trying to crack down on the used game market/game sharing. Famously Don Mattrick responded to the question>What would you say to gamers without access to internet?and he responded:>I'd say we have a product for you it's called the 360
>>740995637It looks like the same old shit no innovation to gears at all
>>740990110>tfw the sheep are acting like Asha is responsible for everything that was shown off at their recent showcase despite it all having been in development for yearsWhy are they so desperate to destroy Phil's legacy? He's literally the only reason Xbox is still around.
>>740995121Please someone hire this anon.
>>740996086For Gears it has a lot going on. You can jump and climb now. More than anything though I like how it looks. The lighting and tone are spot on for me and like I said I can't wait to just shoot stuff. I've loved detailed destruction ever since I played a Time Crisis in arcades and saw glass shattering and office papers flying and wood splintering. I love that shit. One of the reasons I liked Control so much.
>>740991000Not surprising. The path to success was clear, but they chose to rest on their laurels instead during the xbone gen. Then when they threw money at the problem in the most retarded ways. It seems like she’s trying to do the right thing, but it would require billions all over again.
>South of Midnight>Avowed>Outer Worlds 2All of it literal blackslop and/or gayslop.
>>740993989Anon, I have a pretty good eye for games and I’m not trying to be a downer, but it looks like Outer Worlds 2 and Atomfall had a baby
>>740990110shitskin pajeeta nepo hirethey intentionally sabotaged phil just so they could replace the white man with one of their castethis one isn't even qualified for the job and has zero experience or background in game developmentfunny that poojeet shills have been damage controlling for her to save their country's izzat, but none of it is working
>>740990469she's already firing all americans and replacing them with shit eating poojeets from her upper castethis is how xbox diesgood riddance lol
>>740996275Get a series s off eBay
>xjeet shills unironically think shilling for the woke ugly gears slop is gonna worklol
>>740990110Not being hyperbole here, not exaggerating or shit talking for shit talking. This man is what ruined the Xbox. Xbox was at its prime with the 360, selling more consoles and software than the ps3. The moment this guy jumped in, all that work, all the market was lost. The kinect, the disinterest regarding core games and instead, a bigger focus on media, wanting the Xbox to be of a Netflix machine than a console, the terrible marketing of the Xbox one, the "well, if you don't like it, get a 360" type of shit that only damaged the brand's reputation.Dont know what this fag is doing right now, but you should never place this guy as the head of any product you release. He will destroy your product.
xbox is just unlucky. phill spencer wanted to turn xbox into a digital platform that was shared on systems and drop hardware but with the new girl they want to push hardware again but because of ai they can't do it in a cost-effective way without gutting the entirety of their division. just bad timing. i don't think xbox as a brand will go under but they won't hit the same console refresh that ps hits with ps6. whether thats good or bad in the end who knows. either way i think they should have just kept milking phils plan until prices settled.
>>740990110>no games>fable is hogwarts legacy slop>gamepass is literal shovelware indie shit that is all the same and the odd 500 year old pc type game that noone plays nor works>WE ARE SO BACK SAARS!!!
>>740992605Gamesir is Indian?
>>740990110The day I never again have to be informed of xbox announcements, will be a good day indeed.
>>740998005It was also a really bad generation to fumble as badly as they did. Xbone/PS4 were the first generation where most game sales were digital and both Series/PS5 are backwards compatible with the previous gen digital purchases. If you owned a PS4 instead of an xbone, it would be foolish to move to xbox for the current gen. It's a problem thats only going to get worse for xbox as they're getting rekt even harder this gen.
>>740990110I knew it was too early to call once the poojeeta took over. Everyone was saying she was saving xbox
>>740993989It looks good but nothing outstanding. As said, it looks like yet another RPG. It's a game for core RPG fans but not something millions of players would want to buy. The game will not sell consoles. It has ca. 400 mil. $ budged... It's a new IP... In any way you look at it, it's dead end for them...
>>740990110Take your best on which studios will get shut down.
>>740998228Saying Fable is Hogwarts legacy slop & no games shows you don't have any idea what you are talking about...If Fable gameplay would be just a fraction of fun Hogwarts Legacy offered it's a win. The problem with AAA industry is cost and those "ART" "masterpiece" projects you guys want is impossible, you really need to hit right nail to make profit of them.. But every AAA studio right now is trying just that yet they fail to make fun gameplay at the end hitting specific audience that does not end up with profit...Also saying "no games" is a funny as heck... They released games, quite few of them, but as said, they are just average, nothing special, not really fun, not really something people talk about.Every game that was not released under zenimax/activison outside of Forza Horizon ended up underperforming. And checking those games is no surprise why.... 60-80$ AA games. GG
>>740995224That's the point, don't finance them with ultimate budged, give them A) Fallout B) TES game to work on. Make hit project, increase the studio size so you can have small 2nd team working on your passion project while using assets from the main project.... devs of Tainted Grail would in this case be much better to handle game like that, than someone as Obsidian... They lost the touch...
>>740995121They will never make a game like Stellar Blade it goes against their policies of making attractive females. The latest gameplay of Fable showed off a bunch of females in game you can romance and none of them were attractive. Just a bunch of 5/10 females. I have a feeling that game is going to underperformed.
>>740999919I would fucking cheer and clap and buy some games on xbox if they close down hellblade studio
>>740995469Sony gets Crash and Spyro. Nintendo gets Banjo, Conker, and Perfect Dark. Seems fair.
>recent rumours all suggest xbox are going back to exclusives >including elder scrolls 6 Sounds pretty based desu
>>740995469>>741000510Activision and Bethesda have full autonomy over themselves. The recent showcase even made the distinction that activision and bethesda are not xbox
>>740990110If you need AI sloppa to get your point across, it's not a point worth arguing
>>740998005Xbox also had no studios to make games during that era, which made them panic buy all those studios during those years only to get little to no games. They just weren't ready for the Xbox One era.
>>740996634shes from the ai division so what did people expect
>>741000692the panic buyout was just Spencer's autism, they didn't have any studios with og xbox and 360 either. Nothing would have stopped them from doing third party exclusives but for some reason they stopped after snoy journos made a big deal over tomb raider not being on playstation
>>740999363shitty excuse by phil. The wii u was even worse off than both and they did fine with the switch because of zelda

>>741001139I feel so bad that ninja gaiden 4 flopped, microsoft did one good thing this gen and Platinum had to go full retard with yakumo
>>740995781>where most of the presentation was about TVI want to say that was the Kinect year (which was also atrocious) but I'm pretty sure the>TV>SPORTS>TV>MOVIES>TVyear was the Xbone announcement.
>>740991000this all could've been avoided if they just made good games.
>>740999557All she was ever going to do was fire the last few remaining seat warmers (there's been no competent staff at MS in years) and replace them with more of her countrymen.At best she's there to downsize it so they can prepare to sell off assets.
>>740990110That stupid asshole Phil Spencer spent like a drunken sailor and tanked the brand. It's just a stupid investment. Why pour so much money into video games when you get so little return?
>>741000906They had Bungie, FASA, Turn 10 and a few others, back when those names actually meant something.
>>740990867I want to fuck dudebros so bad
>>741001804Tell that to the "efficient" studios that had all creative freedom and they fcked it. Now they will be either forced to work on projects they don't want to or be closed down and cry. And for some reason after that we will have posts "Microsoft managment is evil for not allowing creative control" and fans will defend those...
>>740990110Why are slop machines so bad at patterns like windows etc?There must be a technical reason.
>>741002047Your brain has really great hardware for picking out irregularities. Like if I lined up 1000 toothpicks north to south with one tilted, you'd see it instantly.
>>741001972And look where Bungie ended now and yet it's still everyone else fault for it only Bungie leadership is good... Turn 10 also fcked itself up, spending millions of M$ money for nothing special.... It's like, there was reason other than money that those studios were achieving results.Bungies Destiny shined under heavy Activision control... Fans attacked Activision they have to much control over it and should let Bungie cook but it looks that at the end Activision knew what they are doing to keep the Bungie leadership on the leash....Fans were saying obsidian just needs money and not being forced by evil publisher yet under M$ they had creative freedom and it turned out leadership was the problem all along not money, not evil publisher. They released 2 "passion" projects yet both are nothing than average AA RPG games in overflowing market and than underperforming...Hands off approach that many big publisher are doing now for better PR because fans requested it, turns out it will be downfall for many big publishers...You either have publisher chasing "easy money" or publisher that are to much hand free over their studios...
>>741002175That only explains why we so easily notice it, not why AI is so bad at making it.I presume it's something to do with it not having any real spacial comprehension and doing everything on the basis of training on 2D images.
>>740990110Is OP an Indian that hates xbox? What's with all the recent AI slop bashing xbox
>>740995781Yeah, it was glorious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nULp0pGKCS8
>>740995673Sony firing Yoshida is such a huge mistake. Fuck Jim Ryan
>>740990110Because [redacted by jannies]
>>740995673Funny how then we discovered that ps3 ps4 ps5 had a cbomb and no one gave a fuck
I am tired of clickbait farming and misunderstanding things said on a professional level.
>>741002389My bet is that you only notice when regular patterns are weird, but that bit of weirdness is in all of it. One wrong link in a chainlink fence will stand out, but I'd probably never notice if totally wrong leaf species were mixed into a bush.
>>740990110I'd X her Box if you know what I mean
>>740990469>I thought things were looking up.things are shaping up to be pretty odd
>>740990110i bought a one X to play OG xbox games in 4k and pick up cheap games from last gen. if you were stupid enough to buy a series console that's on you
Starfield killed the Xbox brand. Also, Xbox gamers don't buy games, they just subscribe to Gamepass
>>740991000>>741001804Component prices are rising at least another 50% according to her internal emails at xbox so imagine the cost for the next console it doesn't matter if they made good games not that they could anyway mose of them are DEI hires that follow DEI rules for their game creation alongside their games being shit to begin with that all culminates into putting off people buying their games
>>741004770Xbox owners probably do buy games but the actual number of xbox series x/s sold is way smaller than the supposed 20 million, and it became even smaller after 4 games
