Xbox 360 era was a happy medium of gaming passion and technological advancement. Nowadays it’s about revenue and having the highest specs on a passionless, empty game. That barely scratch the itch we all had back then. Perhaps the new generation of gamers doesn’t have the luxury experience we had. Pay to win. Season driven instead of story driven. Using old IPs and characters to promote their new and vanilla games. Using false promises to only get the games finished 2+ years after release. I guess money isn’t everything after all. Games used to question reality. They actually had a lot of philosophy and what if’s. They reflected on the world around them. I’ve yet to play a game that I can take my time to enjoy nowadays. Might just be getting old. Recently I’ve really enjoyed INSIDER. Also Dragon ball The Breakers. Titanfall 2 MP.

The fact is, Xbox Games has never(!) had the culture of grooming or cultivating quality first party development teams that make killer apps. They bought their way into the industry from day 1. Halo, Gears of War, all exclusive acquisitions they made on games that were in development already. As soon as the teams that made the original trilogies left they didn't know wtf to do with the IP. The 360 era was carried by them being the defacto system for 3rd party games, some 2nd party studios like Bungie and Cliff's Gears of War team.. and the 1 year head start, not to mention Sony's early mistakes that gen like being 200 dollars more expensive than your main competitor. Once Sony got their act together and Xbox's 2nd party talent stopped renewing their contracts they've been slamming their dicks in the door. The entire uppper management team needs to be fired or needs to resign.

As someone who specifically has done work in leadership development I think Satya Nadella has had TOO MUCH trust in delegating to Phil Spencer and that clearly needs to change. The problem is Xbox probably doesn’t matter enough to Satya. Satya is a phenomenal leader and CEO, he basically resurrected Microsoft from a pit of stagnation. He did that in large part by setting a common vision and then delegating a lot of leadership to different experts and acting as the anchor to them. Phil is the problem here and the continued trust in him is clearly misplaced. Also it’s worth noting that Dishonored and Prey aren’t totally cooked as a lot of that team was Arkane Lyon. Sad to see Austin go though as I know they played a HEAVY auxiliary role that will now be pressed onto Lyon.

Problems arise when remakes are handled poorly or the general public doesn't see it necessary to remake a certain game. 4. What about TLOU2 and Spider-Man 2 supports the idea that Sony hates us? TLOU2 was controversial for it's story and how it handled its characters, it was honestly just Neil Druckman(Naughty Dog) being edgy. However the gameplay itself was absolutely amazing and far better than the first one. I played it for it's gameplay only and had a blast. Spider-Man 2 had it's cringe moments but once again, the gameplay and suits balanced it out. It was odd that they changed Mary Jane's look but there is nothing wrong with a woman having a strong jaw, in fact alot of female models have broader than normal jawlines, it's almost a requirement.

[@proggz39]

Xbox would have shut these studios down regardless. They bought Bethesda to have exclusive rights over giant games like Starfield, Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Tango, Arkane and Machine Games are just part of the deal ready to be cut for cost savings measures. Xbox has no time for small games anymore when they need to pay back the $70 billion they just spent to acquire Activision Blizzard

[@DLxxx]

Saying a studio is done just because one guy left is insane. Mikami stopped being as involved with games direction after The Evil Within 1, and only generally oversaw the remaining projects. The director of Hi-Fi even said he pretty much let the team do their own thing, and the people who developed there previous games were still there. Mikami leaving changed virtually nothing outside of not having his name attached to the studio at large, and because he was planning his departure for the past 7 years, Tango obviously would've had time to plan out their transition period. There's literally NO reason to think they wouldn't have continued to make better games.

[@alessandroortuzar9650]

It hurts to see Xbox stoop this low. And I used to have faith in Phil Spencer when he tried to salvage the reputation of the Xbox One from 2016 all the way to the end of the 8th generation. I had hope for this generation and they proceeded to dig themselves into an even bigger hole, not even exclusives wise, but with the Series S as well. So glad I switched to PC. But my 360 and One S will always have a special place in my heart

[@cyxceven545]

A big problem for Xbox over the past few years is that, in order to fill gaps in their showcases, they have developers make fake 'in engine' trailers that lead people to believe the game is in development, when in fact they are hardly even in pre-production.

What’s hilarious is that their braindead fanbase then use these vague conceptual CGI trailers as “console war ammunition” and when you’re quick to point that out, they immediately deflect to “what-about-isms” and false equivalencies (“well, Wolverine had a CGI trailer, pony!”).

[@ShootEvrythg]

@@jaythomas468 The difference between a CGI trailer for Wolverine and a CGI trailer for an Xbox game is that Playstation has a track record of delivering the games they reveal, whereas Xbox does not.

[@jaythomas468]

@@ShootEvrythg LOL, I KNOW THIS. I’m just pointing out HOW DUMB the “false equivalencies” that these guys use are. Like, if you point out that a lot of Xbox games seem to get delayed for years and years, they’ll fire back with, “well, PlayStation delays games too!” Yea, but usually, when PlayStation delays a game, it’s from an EXACT DATE to a new EXACT DATE 3-6 months later whereas Xbox will delay something from an EXACT DATE to, “ehh, it’ll be out NEXT YEAR sometime.”

[@xProErax]

My brother bought an Xbox 360 purely due to how his friends also had the same console. That was a generation that was about Xbox basically winning while PlayStation 3 was in the dust for a good while. I got to play stuff like GTA IV and other games that I got to experience that weren't on the Wii. Then Xbox Series X was to have backwards compatibility and that was what I wanted more above anything else since I knew modern games we're going to become more and more broken. I then found some games that I'm glad to have done to play like rare replay and others along with being able to play GTA IV at 60fps which was nice until the last mission. Everything was great and I got to experience Hi-Fi Rush which was my favorite game of 2023. 2 months before they close down Tango GameWorks, I literally was falling back in love with Hi-Fi Rush and thought I want to play the game again. As the school semester ended and I was about to start a job for the summer, they then drop the news the day of working which destroyed me on the inside. I feel like both the faces of Xbox and Microsoft higher ups really are both to blame but it is pretty abysmal for them to not even be able to manage almost anything at all along with not even getting their story straight with their reasoning of why this is all happening. I already knew I wasn't going to buy the next Xbox console for it being most likely digital only, but this just shows how I can never go and enjoy any of their content whether it's physical or all digital knowing that any studio behind the game could be on the chopping block. I can already see Ninja Theory being shut down due to Hellblade 2 not succeeding after all of what's happened which would be a horror story to see come to life. Xbox really has almost nothing at all anymore.

Xbox is such a baffling console brand. The Series X is still my most played console because I love Quick Resume, backwards compatibility, Play Anywhere, easy cloud saves, and just how pleasant it feels using it for multimedia like KZbin and Twitch (yeah, I watch Twitch on the TV sometimes). But their management! What the heck is their problem?? It seems like whenever Xbox has an amazing game on their hands it's always in spite of the brand, not because of it. Even Halo when it was at its best saw Bungie constantly butting heads with management. I don't think I'll ever forgive Xbox closing down Tango Gameworks almost immediately after releasing Hi-Fi Rush and just before they were about to get development for a sequel approved. _Why??_ The extra features of Xbox are nice, but it will always be the games I'm most focused on. They're what make a console special. If you close down all your studios, there's no one left to make games for it.

Although I do agree it's partly because a bunch of games got delayed and we got them all last year, but it still has been disappointing, unless you like FF and those style games.

Funny how even though the Big 3 are all problematic in their own ways, Nintendo seems to be the only one putting out major success for their IPs and their studios.

Literally every studios and game companies is like that, idk why peple act like they aren't business who want to make a profit. However, compared to Xbox, Nintendo, while being extrememly protective of their IPs and not approving of fans work (probably due to them being japanese), they can actually make good games for them, and they do manage to make their fanbase happy most of the time. Also, they don't buy studios to shut them down like 2 years later. Playstation is not that far from Xbox to be honest, but at least, they can make some good games for their IPs from time to time, and that's basically the big reason why people still like them. Each of the big 3 have problems, but xbox really seems to be the most problematic

[@samflood5631]

At least PlayStation didn’t shut down studios for very stupid reasons. And the reason why their games were successful was because they marketed their games to every genre. Nintendo did the same thing, but made it more kid friendly.
