the problem is that its 50$ bucks. 50.. seriously? it has fudgy nothing in it, a few random unlocks, skin packs, playing the game 4 days early, and the maps for custom matches... for 50... what a rip off.

$60 game with microtransactions and a $50 season pass. This doesn't even cover non map DLC such as new missions or new modes.

Sounds pretty awful.

I don't recall saying that. I do recall saying that Microsoft probably wasn't in any hurry to remove the Lionhead logo from any official listings.

Microsoft  Ceases Fable Legends Development, Closes Two Studios: Other studios closed too?

This is what I said.

If I say or type tomato and you hear or read potato it's either because you're stupid, not paying attention, or seeing/hearing what you want.

You implied that we probably wouldn't hear about it for a while because MS is lazy.   ::)

From what I heard, the PS4 Neo is pushing 4.5 Tflops. Good luck making the math work like that. Also, a platform pushing that much more power wouldn't be cheap. You'd be looking at probably a $900 console for Microsoft to not lose its dog on every console sold. This reminds me quite a bit of the pie in the sky dreams some people had about Xbox One being much more powerful than PS4. Interesting to watch a fanbase go from "power is everything" to "power means nothing" and back again.

Power isn't why PS4 outsold XB1 or why PS2 stomped every console thrown at it.

QuotePhil Spencer is trying to push out all the failed Don Mattrick games as soon as possible so he can reform Microsoft Studios his way.

 And unfortunately that means cancellations, studio closures, and sending games out to die.

What is there to do? Phil Spencer only became head 2 years ago, that isn't much time for any reform. Any new games coming out would likely take a couple years longer to become a reality. Realistically, they need to just focus their efforts on their next-gen console, as its clear the XB1 has been a lemon for them. Hoping for the best, but we'll just have to wait and see.

 
He's been the General Manager of Microsoft Studios since 2008, so for 8 years Phil's had his say on what games get greenlit or how studios should operate, along with new studios being created, I think that's more than enough time for a person in a position of power to effect change.

 Phil would have been able to give his opinions on XB1 and combine any internal or external feedback together to report to higher ups on what the needs would have been for this generation. If Microsoft ignore the XB1 and don't put out solid, fresh exclusives people will have no faith in the next platform. This E3 needs to be about Microsoft showing off a load of new IPs that are exclusive to XB1, fresh games that appeal to a bigger audience than the same core Xbox gamers, I don't see it happening because Microsoft have been doing the same thing all this time Phil has been in a position to do anything about Microsoft's own internal game development.

 Hopefully some new studios have been built that are focused on new titles.

  

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Spencer_%28business_executive%29

 
After the success of the Kinect in 2010 the higher-ups like Mattrick demanded "Games as a service" and "focus on the cloud" and "TV integration" and "Kinect 2.0." Phil was against that...but he couldn't do much about it.

 That's why games like Kinect Sports Rivals, Project Spark, Fable Legends, Quantum Break, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, etc. exist. They're focused on the cloud / part of the 2011-2013 mentality.

 Spencer has been leading since March 2014, so he is responsible for games greenlit in 2014-2015...which we won't see until 2017-2018 at the earliest. They had to work through all of the old Mattrick titles, but now they're pretty much done with that with cancellations and closures and releases, with a couple of stragglers left to come out (like Sea of Thieves / Crackdown).

 Scalebound was one of the first games formally greenlit and put into motion under Phil Spencer's tenure. Recore was greenlit in April 2014...another game by Spencer as Head of Xbox. Again, you're not going to see them until 2017, probably. And both games are traditional games...they don't focus on the cloud or games as a service nonsense.

 Halo Wars 2 is another game by Spencer when job postings started showing up around May 2014.

 Games just take a while to come out.
