Any fan of that dumb old indifferent asshat who tried to be cool on the twittersphere has to be a real lame. Come on here talking about neckbeards while trying to be sympathetic towards some guy who looks like the posterchild of "rich, white guy going through a mid-life crisis". You need to get out more if you think only nerds were pissed about these rumors.

[izembo]

they were the only ones though...most people won't even hear about it

[Tyrath]

It went viral, pretty sure anyone who plays games and uses the internet will hear about it.

[izembo]

not as much as you might think. we'll see how it all plays out though.

[notorious bum]

It hit Huffington Post, various hip hop blogs, etc. I don't even follow/read any gaming websites or blogs besides BG and Jace Hall's newsletter(who caught on late anyways).

[The Blackrose]

not as much as you might think.

Keep telling yourself that. It hit the major media outlets and blogs. I had people who normally don't keep in the loop asking about it. The story took a life of its own.

Not surprised Microsoft made the guy fall on his sword. Statements like his made in a public venue with no form of anonymity was just asking for trouble. Even the boilerplate "views does not represent company" does not save you in the event that your comments cause a shitstorm for your employer.

Next-generation Xbox launch titles include Ryse and a new Forza

Microsoft is working on a number of launch titles for its new Xbox console. One of the first games to launch on the next Xbox will be Ryse, according to multiple sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans. Microsoft originally unveiled Ryse at E3 2011, promising an exclusive Xbox 360 release with Kinect functionality. A release has never materialized for Xbox 360 and the company has remained fairly silent about the title's progress, noting that it was still in development in mid-2012 and again earlier this year. The Verge understands that Crytek, along with Microsoft Studios, has been rewriting the game to take advantage of its next-generation console, due later this year.

We're told Ryse is designed to be Microsoft's new Gears of War / Halo mega launch title. It's set in the roman empire period and uses deep Kinect integration to allow players to slash and kick at enemies. We understand that Ryse will take advantage of the new body tracking improvements in the next Kinect sensor. Ryse is part of four major launch titles for the next-generation Xbox. Sources tell us that a new Forza title with "super life-like" graphics will also be made available at launch, alongside a zombie game and a family game set on an island with Pixar movie-style graphics. We're told that the family game will utilize Kinect to scan a body and generate a virtual character in the game.

We understand that these four titles are a small selection of the launch titles for the next-generation Xbox. Third-party support is said to be strong in the first-person-shooter genre. Microsoft is also working on some improvements to Xbox Live, including a switch to currency over the Microsoft Points system.

MS just stop with the fucking Kinect.

JUST STAHP!!!

But but but.... the casuals players! (who aren't going to buy a lot of games)

[Deader2818]

their new IP sounds interesting but they lost me at deep kinect integration.

I'm kind of disappointed that they are still focusing so much on FPS titles. You know there are gonna be some Kinect FPS games lol... where you need to buy additional peripheral guns and stuff

[Deejay]

I'm going to be honest here, based on every single post you've made in this thread: The only neckbeard here is you.

lol he's an idiot. pay him no mind

I see people with some kinda proof behind why they think this has been really bad for Microsoft and all i've seen from you is "nope"

average consumer didn't hear or didn't care either way

I still consider the xbox a "hardcore gamer" console. Sure Microsoft wants to make it casual gamer friendly, but I don't think they're that successful in it. I don't think an average consumer is going to pay $500 to play some new hardcore shooter.

Just stop while you're behind before you hit Leroy status.

Great news about Forza 5 at launch. I'll put up with all the bullshit just for Forza.
