lol microsoft has zero first party franchises that anyone's interested in

halo is a distant like third or fourth fiddle in console shooters, and they hosed up the latest one so badly that people still can't play it online reliably

fable's dead

killer instinct was dead on arrival

they hosed up microsoft flight simulator so hard that now a bunch of dudes working out of their basements are doing a far better job

they're re-releasing gears of war 1 but it kind of looks worse than the original


at the same time their competitor is releasing a remake of 3 games in the other chest high wall shootmans franchise and it looks like it's been handled competently

also they want $40 for gears [uncharted is $60 for all 3]

in the first picture the remastered one looks better than the original

the second one is probably some opertunistic screenshottning, theres no way the released game will look that bad

Viva Pinata was cool but they really had no idea what they had on their hands. It should have been some cool rear end Animal Crossing chill game, but they ratcheted up the "game" part in the second and it was really annoying to have poo poo wrecked by whatever the antagonist was (i don't remember).

its a multiplayer map, and the screenshot is (presumably) from the multiplayer beta recently. it wasnt a very big download so i wouldnt be surprised if it was all placeholders...for stuff like islands that are background shots that nobody would be looking at

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
