looks like Xbox is doing another mass layoff at the end of the month. 


Xbox should make it their goal to stay out of the headlines for a whole week...  it would do them good.

I think it's funny how everyone loves the new xbox boss and is blaming this all on phil.

The fans turned on him so fast.

Looks pretty good.

Looks like a full social sim. Lots of freedom within towns.

Can buy every building in the game, can hire and fire people, can attack them too but idk about permadeath.

you could buy everything in the prior games too.  and romance everyone.  

still haven't watched it but I hope the sim stuff is at least deeper than prior games.  previous you could do all sorts of terrible stuff to make them hate you then make them fall in love with you with a couple farts.

I mean ao many other franchises have scaled back sim elements, so just keeping what the old games had would be exciting.

The cool thing with this Fable is that people have individual thoughts. So one woman might just hate you cause you're too successful or something silly. Would be fun to mess with every hater and make their lives suck.

Apparently MS is likely to close two studios.

One is believed to be Compulsion Games, which makes sense.

The other is rumored to be Turn 10.  Seems more likely to be Arkane.

saw reports saying MS is keeping the option of selling Xbox all together if it came down to it. Don't know how accurate those reports are though

Best thing that can happen to the industry is Xbox having to become completely self reliant. Though this would have been so much better if it happened during the early Xbox one days. Not after they bought Activision and Bethesda
