I wouldn't be at all surprised if this doesnt see the light of day especially if Asha has her way. Its not Halo or Gears so she will shutter it. She doesnt want anything new.
Well, we will see if it comes out. Won't be surprised if Asha closes down the studio and fires everyone else like she has done with so many other studios.
The same reason they got rid of Phil Spencer and alot of long term employees. Its called throwing them under the bus because they didnt agree with their corporate masters. Then they bring in someone like Sharma who doesnt know anything but goes along with the coroporate suits because she dont care about the business or its fans.
@Balaam_ @somnambulance I think its more of not wanting to spilt the dev team or build a new one for a console version. You already have the WoW team so fractured between WoW Retail, WoW Classic, WoW Classic Anniversary and now WoW Forever. And Blizzard is not going to outsource it to someone else to do a console version.
With that said though the best possibility is WoW Forever being ported to Console while the others remain on PC.
@HonestHick WoW Forever has native controller support which is one of the features I will be trying out when it goes live this November 4th. I too.prefer Diablo with a controller but WoW I had to use KB+M and after 15+ years it will feel odd using a controller.
It would have to be either WoW Forever or WoW Classic that comes to console. It would have to be made from the ground up which makes Forever and Classic perfect candidates. Retail is too old and the coding is lost to time. With the way they are focusing on Forever now and I perfect entry point for new players I wouldn't be surprised if Forever makes it console soon.
@Markatron84 Actually, I did for awhile and yet my comments where deleted. I only started to add the Sharma Brigade to illustrate that in order to post here you have to "love" Xbox after my comments where deleted because well, its true. It doesnt matter if I add the Sharma Brigade or not the comments get deleted which is just a sad fact how this site has become. You cant express your opinion unless it goes along with everyone else and sadly the popular opinion of the day is that Sharma is doing so great and all hail Sharma which she isnt.
She has butchered Xbox's creative and what made Xbox unique just to what pump out another Gears of War and Halo? **Yawn** While closing down and firing devs that where giving us unique experiences and games. Then she goes on to say how shes saving Xbox sayig that oh World of Warcraft and CoD are doing so great. News flash honey that wasnt you that was Activision/Blizzard they are always doing good. You literally did nothing.
She is not the savior of Xbox like she claims to be and fools everyone into thinking she is, sadly though because so many are blinded and cant see the truth yet the ones that will are silenced because it goes against the majority.
It is what it is after all its their site but for a place that you should be able to share opinions and thoughts its just wrong.
So you fire devs and close down studios but have no problem spending that money on one project Sharma? This woman is outta control she says shes saving money by firing devs and closing but is doing this seriuously someone needs to stop her shes destroying Xbox not saving it.
I recently played the first chapter on Steam (which is free btw) and I have to agree with the various reviews. While its a good game you wont find anything really new if you played it alreadyn3xcpet for the noir filter, but isnt that what a remaster is all about? This one is good if you have never played the game before or like me needs a refresher before the second on comes out and want the game on a modern console or never owned the original. Still if you never played it nows a good time.
Well maybe give players what they want instead of shutting down studios and firing devs and people wont resort to this. Are you seriously that ****** stupid? Oh yeah I forgot we are talking about Asha Sharma here the lady who had no clue what gamers want or how to run a gaming company.
This weekend I will be starting my Halloween gaming tradition of a spooky game and this year it's of course
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse (Steam) Going to be starting this game I tried the demo and Switch in handheld mode and it was just so hard to see anything. So to the PC I go.
Kynseed (Steam) Finally finished up childhood and now I am an adult. Not sure just yet what I will be doing but I will figure it out soon enough.
World of Warcraft Forever (PC) There is a open beta stress test Monday so I am hoping to get in and finally check out this game.
Also since its my birthday this weekend I will have some friends over and I will be running them through a spooky Daggerheart adventure just in time for Halloween.
Exclusives are a dated idea, its why I dont like Sony. It makes no sense in today's market. Developers shouldnt penalize consumers becuase what machine they decide to play on. That also means money a dev wont get because of their narrow mind. Why wouldn't they want to get as much money for a product they made as they possible could, I know I would if I were a dev.
In the end we are all gamers no matter if we choose to game on Xbox, PS, Nintendo or PC. This practice need to stop.
What employees? What new IPs? Didnt you just fire a bunch and close/release a bunch of studios working on new IPs? Do you even know what the hell you are going? Why dont they toss her out like they did Phil Spencer?
Ooops sorry forgot I was posting here. Yeah way to go Asha, you're doing a great job!!! (I stand by my first comment but forgot that I can only post positive things about Sharma here despite her runing the Xbox name.)
Thats ok if you keeping delaying games Asha will fire you and close your studio down. But thats great way to go Asha who cares your destroying Xbox your doing a great job!!!!
Well of course the studios are stretched thin, with Asha firing devs and closing studios left and right its going to happened. Instead of dividing games among several studios and several devs she wants to have one studio do several games and overwork the devs. This why she needs to be thrown out.
@FraserG Dont be jealous dont even have them in the US. Kinda weird that they didnt go with something like Dominos or Pizza Hut instead of just some no name one.
@HelloCraigo I wouldn't exactly call Mafia Old Country open world. Yeah theres a few segments that can be considered open world but more often gameplay is more broken up in chapters and you can only go from point A to B.
He praises Asha now but the moment Xbox loses money he will throw her under the bus like he did Phil Spencer. This is the cancerous growth that MS needs to get rid of for Xbox to be successful.
Nice Click bait there. Blizzard has gone on record saying that WoW will be tied to PC. The closest we will get to it on console is a device like Steam Deck or Steam Machine.
Because Netflix you can axcess from so many devices Gamepass only Xbox devices. If Sharma would put on other devices like the Switch for example then it would have been more successful. But she is more about killing it tben making it suceed.

Throwing out another long time employee just like they did with Phil Spencer, probably to get another coroporate stooge like Asha.
