Two of Microsoft's biggest exclusives for 2017 are no longer launching within the 2017 window. Scalebound was cancelled and Crackdown 3 was delayed into 2018. A lot of gamers have been giving grief to Microsoft over the delays, and Microsoft finally gave an honest response regarding the Crackdown 3 delay.

Speaking with Polygon, Microsoft's general manager of publishing, Shannon Loftis, explained that Microsoft made a mistake in announcing Crackdown 3 way back in 2014, telling the outlet...



I think in the past we have made the mistake of announcing some exclusives a little bit too early. We're trying to learn from that mistake and do better, so we have a bit that's in development now that we're not talking about. We're in this for the long haul, and we want to make sure that not just in the spring of 2018, but in the summer, and in the fall, and the spring of 2019 that we'll have great, unique, fun experiences for Xbox gamers.

Previous to that specific quote, Loftis explained to Polygon that the choice to delay Crackdown 3 was difficult, but it was done so that Sumo Digital and CloudGine could focus more on improving the quality of the three main game modes.

Xbots said they delayed it because it made no sense to release along with xbox one x, which is made specifically to make old games look new on old tvs.
Now come to find out straight from the horses mouth that the game was delayed because the quality was lacking.

It's obvious that the game went through development hell and got re-worked

So the article has a headline, and you go "Microsoft is honest because of the headline"
And in your would, what I said is no longer true because of the headline...interesting
The same article if you wanna read it someday has this lil bit of info...

Basically saying they will be more secretive about their moves but that moves are being made.

Don't forget, you're a Sony fanboy so that part of the story is a lie?

Why you recommending PSVR's to this fine community bruh

Seriously Microsoft's first party is incompetent. They need to start moneyhatting up the ass to these third parties like the 360 days. But we already know that ain't happening.
