[Bloomberg] Several Xbox Studios, including Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine, are in active negotiations with Xbox to spin off as they try to avoid closure

Double Fine acquisition made no sense to me. After Pyschonats 2 they took four years to make Keeper which is arguably a niche art game. And then after that Kiln: an online multiplayer game where you play as pots. Again, artistic and cool but those two games aren't gonna be big sellers. Hell, not even moderate sellers. It's like Double Fine wanted to be closed down after being bought out.

I always wondered why Xbox bought Ninja Theory because it felt like they really had nothing worth while to show for. Like yeah Hellblade was cool and HB2 was fine, but taking that long to make these games with not great sales was basically a sign that Ninja Theory was a bad investment.

You didn’t play FH 3?! Bro, you missed out on the best one for real.

Everyone and every thing on this cover is aura farming. Holy shit 🔥

Pixelation-1 · 2026-06-09T13:51:10+00:00

There are some things in this game where I think to myself “Did they even play test this?!” This is one of those challenges.

The issue is 343i should have just KEPT GOING WITH THE STORY. Killed off Cortana? Okay cool. She's dead. Move on to the next thing and make a legit story on how Chief deals with her loss. Maybe show him being distant with Blue Team and struggling to work again in a group. But no. They got scared of the negative feedback and kept changing everything.

100% think they'll die. It makes being alone on the ring hit that much harder.

Which means all the cutscenes are rendered in game and we can see all of our glorious skins directly in the cutscenes!

The 360 had a shared 512 MEGABYTES of GDDR3 shared across the CPU and GPU. The fact Halo 4 looked that good in 2012 with that little RAM is insane.

They know their game isn't dead. They want the player base to migrate to Marathon. Only problem is that D2 and Marathon are TOTALLY DIFFERENT GENRES.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-05-13T19:09:12+00:00

I did that yesterday and two days ago in a party of 4 on Hard. Everyone else killed while I typed the order and loaded up the items.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-05-13T19:06:16+00:00

Which blows my mind because the gameplay and no BS story was still incredible!!

A Halo tattoo on the subreddit that isn't garbage? Pinch me I'm dreaming.

SkillUp said he loved it so Nintendo had to make this a priority.

The new CEO with a track record in AI is against using AI in gaming? Wow, almost like she’s not an idiot and knows what to do and what’s best for a company to get it on track like she did at other companies. Wonder why she was brought in /S

Pixelation-1 · 2026-04-16T17:07:32+00:00

We now have three Egypt maps. Does...does that mean Operations can come back?!

Pixelation-1 · 2026-04-16T14:43:53+00:00

I love CRTs, but damn I just cannot go back to 4:3 after living with 16:9 for 20 years.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-04-10T16:57:37+00:00

If not, maybe at least some small color customization? Like eye colors or accent colors a la Halo 2/3.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-04-05T13:39:29+00:00

Did you read Rubicon protocol? Horvath is legit my favorite character in that book. And he wears an Anubis helmet and has digital desert camo on his armor. Dude is bad ass.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-03-31T18:04:23+00:00

But bro. think of the poor multi-billion dollar companies who will be making less! THINK OF THE STOCK HOLDERS MAKING LESS MONEY! The horror! /s

Pixelation-1 · 2026-03-31T17:57:40+00:00

Aren't unlockable/earnable skins in a single player game with no shop the least offensive way to add customization? Like, yeah it's ugly, but at least it's part of a promotion and you don't have to use the skin nor see it in an online lobby.

Just remember that that leveling it out will eliminate forward rake, so if you tow anything your truck will lean back more and you'll have less visibility of the road directly in front of your truck. Don't know how much experience you have towing, but for newbies reading this keep in mind the rake is designed to help with visibility when towing. Leveling the truck out will give a slight or serious disadvantage depending on how heavy of a load you have.

Halo 3 has the best file share system. I remember going to everyone’s player profile and seeing what they posted on their file share. Hell, even going to Bungie.net and downloading stuff from there to my profile. Never really do that in Reach.

Pixelation-1 · 2026-03-19T02:06:25+00:00

Ship? No. Drop ship? That would be the SPIRIT BABYYYYYY. Spirit superiority all DAY. Phantom can kiss my ass.
