This is exactly what Microsoft Needed to do.
« on: June 24, 2001, 05:29:59 PM »
I think it was a good move for Microsoft to grab up developers and have them bring some of their best playstation franchises to xbox. But what I think they really needed to do was have their own distinctive titles.

Like Project Ego, Project K-x, Azurake, New legends, Enclave just to name a couple of titles.

Well what sparked this was the announcement of a game called Xavier Fox: The Lost City Interview

http://www.gamespydaily.com/news/fullstory.asp?id=2027

In that news article the developers talk about the game and what new ideas they want to bring to gaming and it sounds awesome. I think it is great to see more developers steping in and trying to come up with creative ideas and make awesome games. And I think one of the best things Microsoft could do for xbox is  to have their own games and not try and focus on other platform titles so much.

Well what I was trying to say.  So many are focusing on square bringing this or konami bringing that or namco porting this when the focus should be trying to create brand new awesome innovative games. That is what I was saying. And that is what this game seems to be.

true, Microsoft do have their fair share of original and exclusive titles, which is what all companies have, and all companies need it to be successful...mebbe all three machines will succeed

Competition is always great for the consumer, this might just bring better games/ prices/consoles in the future. :D

The problem is that originality doesn\'t sell. See Dreamcast.
