INSOMNIAC = GOAT, can't imagine anyone would have done justice to the Spiderman Franchise like they did, Nailed to Perfection video game of all time !! 2013 - 2017 were most dark and depressing days for Xbox. Terry Myerson was incharge of all Entertainment and devices and he cut most of fundings to Xbox. Spencer was head of Xbox but still needed approval from Terry for funding and deals and that mother f**ker Terry wanted to sell Xbox and gave no funding. Jez corden highlighted this in one Windows central article as well. Xbox was not in situation to make game like Spiderman. Spencer rightfully said no to it coz he knew Xbox dont have teams to handle Spiderman. Going with Sony was smart move, Insomniac is best choice for Spiderman game. Plus MS only had like 5 studios back then and none of them were experienced enough to take on mega project like Spiderman. Im pretty sure Spencer and team took decision after doing lot of discussion and checking every option available. But now, there are rumours of Xbox funding a Star Wars game and we all know Indiana jones game already in development by Machine games. Im sure MS will try to keep it exclusive. Atleast now we know there are games in pipeline and gonna release when they are ready but back then we had no clue what MS gonna do with Xbox.

I was wondering what happened, they even f**ked up Halo 5 (as per internet chatter at least which I found to be wrong upon playing it).

If you mean in the matter of trying to replace MC with "Locke" and the retarded AI Dictator Cortana storyline then yes, they did f**k it up, play halo infinite campaign, it's a massive rollback of all H5 story changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us now know how that went. This decision by Spender will haunt him for the rest of his life. This comparison is the closest I have seen till date which rightfully captures the gravity of Spencer's mistake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Any guy who thinks any media house like Marvel,Disney,Universal,WB,Lucas Arts etc would be so foolish to strike a deal with Xbox Studios back in 2014 when M$ literally was struggling to maintain interest for its own IP’s & had literally falling apart studios in the name of First Party,really need a big time reality check. Obviously there are talks in industry on a number of forums but that doesn’t mean it would have been fruitful if M$ had shown interest. They obviously didn’t for a reason as the cost of licensing something as big as Spider-Man & then hiring a second party studio like insomniac & giving them a budget to produce it would have cost a bomb & M$ simply wasn’t allotting nothing to Xbox back then. Only logical reason why Sony pulled it off at the negotiating table was that they were at an equals with Marvel that time due to MCU desperately needing Spidey. Also that they had a plathora of guns blazing first party studios ready to go at it. Things like these are not built instantaneously.

Bro. Xbox was fighting for its existence back then. Funding was reduced and they only had like 5 studios which were already engaged in projects. Xbox made right decision to cancel it. Now if MS decline any Marvel deal now then i will agree with you coz Xbox got multiple teams and Spencer is in full power now. He president of all entertainment and devices in MS which includes Xbox.

Anyone who thinks that there was any instance that a multi trillion company like M$ was “not in power” at any point since they entered the console wars is again fooling themselves & others. They just didn’t bother. Early years of 360 era completely went to them on a platter for Sony’s own mistakes & Nintendo moving away from traditional core gaming. All the developers like Infinity Ward,Tom Clancy,BioWare,Irrational,Capcom,Epic,Monolith,Human Head Studios,Valve,Bathesda Studio & what not just flocked & lined up to port their games on Xbox 360 along with PC coz it was super easy & it was the only next gen console available for a year. Peter Moore was really a genius & a big liar as he marketed all these games as exclusives. This was a golden opportunity & momentum for M$ to buy some of these studios or build their own by draining brains from these. But instead it went straight after securing more timed exclusives & marketing deals & the Kinect or TVTVTvTv. They just didn’t bother until it was too late & when cloud was in forefront of their business instead of consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
