Microsoft nearly bought this game studio for a second time and i cant believe it didnt happen. Emails released during the FTC court case logged against Microsoft purchasing call of duty publisher activision shows that in 2019 Phil Spencer wrote an email to the head of Microsoft Satya nadella asking for approval to go on a spending spree to purchase games studios and publishers. on the shopping list were Sega, Zynga, IO, and most notably creators of the biggest Xbox franchise of all time, Halo. For those who dont know Microsoft originally purchase Bungie in the year 2000 to make Halo an Xbox exclusive after it was originally shown off by Steve Jobs at Mac world. Halo went on to launch with the original Xbox and the rest, as they say, is history. Bungie left Microsoft in Ocotber 2007 and went on create Destiny and Destiny 2. Emails release during the trial state that "the acquisition of Bungie will include securing valuable IP, Destiny (and its community) and integration of its dev & live ops infrastructure into Xbox Game Studios.” To say this would have pleased Halo fans is an understatement given the treatment of the franchise by 343 industries. In the end Bungie went to be purchased by Sony but remain independent. #xbox #activision #bungie #haloinfinite

Imagine spending 7.8 B and not for the reason you think. The FTC court case against Microsoft is uncovering all sorts of juicy details about the innner workings of the games industry but in particular Microsoft and their quest to make gamepass the place to play video games. As part of the trial, emails submitted as evidence and phil spencers testemony have revealed that Microsoft feared Sony would be up to their old tricks again and try to deny the next major Bethesda to Xbox players by making Starfield exclusive to Playstation. In the same way they have done for Final Fantasy, Ghost Wire and others. Microsoft decided to steal a march on Sony and essentially out spend them, locking up Starfield and all future Bethesda titles to Xbox. Its hard to see this as anything other than Microsoft beating Sony at their own game by making games exlcusive to thier platform, not to compete in an open market with fair competition, but to hurt their competitor and consumers. Will Playstation fans get to play Elder Scrolls 6 or the next Fallout game? only time will tell #xbox #playstation #ftcvsmicrosoft #activision

Xbox nearly bought Sega Can you imagine Sonic with a Microsoft logo on it? Well it nearly happened. Emails released during the FTC court case logged against Microsoft purchasing call of duty publisher activision shows that in 2019 Phil Spencer wrote an email to the head of Microsoft Satya nadella asking for approval to go on a spending spree to purchase games studios and publishers. This included Sega who spencer concluded “Sega has built a well-balanced portfolio of games across segments with global geographic appeal, and will help us accelerate Xbox Game Pass both on and off-console. The global appeal of Sega’s beloved IP will help expand Xbox Game Pass’s reach to new audiences around the world, most notably in Asia, where localized content is critical to success Sega was listed as a key target for some years to come and was apparently on the shopping list as late as 2021. Its not clear what happened to the deal or if talks are still on going. For the moment Sonic remains free to run where he likes. Yep Sonic nearly became Xbox exlcusive. #ftc #xbox #sega #sonicthehedgehog #xboxgamepass

Todd Howard describes in detail the level of detail in the companion system coming to Starfield. First, the companions are awesome. Our team's done a really, really great job with them and there's a lot of great depth there with the main companions. But we do support where if you don't want to do that, there's a straights that really make you, you know, I want to play by myself. And then there's also skills that go into that that give you special perks and bumps. If you are solo, the them leaving on their own, they can depending on the choices you make, they can get angry with you. Yeah. And then the relationship that you have with the companion can change based on the decisions you're making in the game. If I get mad at my companions, Todd, can I space them and take them and make them walk the plank on my spaceship? You can leave them behind. You can tell them where to go. You can assign them. You can assign them the outpost. #starfieldnews #starfield #bethesda #shorts #xbox

Todd Howard talks about stealing and upgrading ships in Starfield. So obviously we saw during the direct, you can build your own ship. You mentioned in there that to reach the far reaches of the galaxy, you will have to upgrade your ship along the way, which makes total sense. But me wanting to live out my space pirate fantasy in the game, if I'm acquiring certain ships, whether I purchased them or a quote unquote steel one. Are those ships locked in at whatever quote unquote stats that they have at that time or are they upgradeable in ways as well? They're all upgradeable. They go through the same. We built those ships with the builder that you all saw in the direct. You can fly it around. But if you want to if you want to mess with it, you register it and then you go through that whole loop of upgrading it. You can easily upgrade your ship. Like just go in and say, I want to improve these weapons. I want to improve the grab drive or the shields. I feel like that modular shipbuilding stuff is really cool. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews #starfieldshipbuilding

Explore Like Never Before in Starfield And of course, you can play it in third person, and you can play it in first person. We love exploration and rewarding it, but you do explore differently in this game, given its scale. That usually involves exploring an area you've landed in. You can collect resources, do a mission, and maybe even stumble upon something unknown. We obsess over food. We obsess over food. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews

Uncovering the Insane Character Generation System in Starfield One of the biggest overhauls was done through our character generation system. We scanned a wide range of faces from different age groups and ethnicities, and by mixing and matching all that data, we were able to create highly detailed and diverse characters. With the various facial morphs you can blend together, the dermesthetic and makeup, blemishes, scars, piercings, teeth settings, it's a lot. That's where backgrounds come in. Each time you level up, you get a skill point, which can be used to unlock or rank up skills. We studied data from NASA and a multitude of other sources to help us make the world feel believable. When you leave a planet and head into space, You'll be navigating asteroid fields, having chance meetings with interesting strangers, dogfighting in space and exploring derelict ships. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews

Build your starship, fly your starship, fight with your Starship Using the shipbuilding tools and crew selection features in Starfield, you'll be able to build and captain the ship of your dreams. You should feel like you're in complete control every step of the way. We've extended that sense of control to ship combat. It's a complex dance between your piloting skills and our power allocation system. Powering up the ground rise will shorten the amount of time it takes before you can make a jump. Just like when you're planetside, there are plenty of sites to see and stops to make on the way to your next adventure. A civilian in my star yard. Let's see about getting you a proper ship. You can hail any ship you come across to trade, swap info, or maybe even commit an act of piracy. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews

Learn about exploration in Starfield We're putting you in the cockpit of your very own spaceship, and telling you that you can do pretty much anything. It's a complex dance between your piloting skills and our power allocation system. Hey everybody, we were showing you so much stuff, but we thought we'd just take a little break and show you something a little bit different. Oh, and hey, take this, you'll find it very useful out there. Because we want to give you freedom on a galactic level. This is how you want to interact with each planet. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews

A look at the entire universe of possibilities in Starfield Starfield is our first new universe in over 25 years, but it's still a Bethesda RPG through and through, where you step into a new world and you get that feeling of unlimited possibilities. But this time, it's not just one world. It's over a thousand worlds because the choice of where to go, it's not ours, it's yours. And it wasn't until now that we had the technology to create it. From the rocks at your feet to the mountains in the distance, to the people and creatures that live in these worlds. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews #shorts

Overview of the Starfirld Character creation I'm the type of person who spends hours in character creation, and I think people are going to be really excited when they see all of the improvements we've made. We scanned a wide range of faces from different age groups and ethnicities, and by mixing and matching all that data, we were able to create highly detailed and diverse characters. We used that exact system to create all the characters and NPCs you're going to see in the game, so any character you see almost always is a character you could make yourself. Hey, come on, come on. Okay, take it easy. You were out cold. No physical damage. Mentally, the jury's still out. You know who you are? New recruit for Argos extractors? Ring any bells? Any of this look familiar? You start your character creation journey as though you're cycling through employee records. #starfield #starfielddirect #starfieldnews

Steve Jobs would never have released the Apple Vision Pro. He understood that technology has to delight us and whilst this product does have some very cool technology its not really ready for mainstream adoption. #apple #applevisionpro
