Extremely pointless. Microsoft needs to stop hyping and just deliver.
Don't be stupid. Try to understand what this video is about.

I don't think any of these hires are hyped by Microsoft. These posts on new hirings are made by fans(or by Journalists in their sites). The video on OP is made by Darell and his team for recruitment.Extremely pointless. Microsoft needs to stop hyping and just deliver.

Reminds me of this. After 4 years, this studio still has nothing released:
Are you a developer looking for work?Meh. Less talk, more action please. These fancy ads are doing nothing for me. Very empty.
They're talking about themselves to the public. What else am I supposed to say, except how I feel about it?Are you a developer looking for work?
If you aren’t this video shouldn’t appeal to you. It’s a recruitment video, not an advertising one.
Funny how that works.
It wasn’t meant to be public?They're talking about themselves to the public. What else am I supposed to say, except how I feel about it?
How's it not meant to be public if it's on their public YouTube, and released for everyone to see? Did they forget to put it private? I watched the video back then when they released it and gave my opinion on it based on what I saw, talking about themselves and who they are.It wasn’t meant to be public?
It was meant as a way to get you to work for them as you graduate from your school.
Look at the youtube Author, do you think that’s an official MS rep?
I assume based on your last post, that we can call this official MS marketing going forward?
You are right, I worded it poorly.How's it not meant to be public if it's on their public YouTube, and released for everyone to see? Did they forget to put it private?

Ok, I guess. I don't know what else to sayYou are right, I worded it poorly.
That doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t meant for you as a consumer, it was meant for people that want to make and create games.
Ok, I guess. I don't know what else to say
I can say, I hope nothing but good stuff comes out of it. Selfishly, that means great single player games.
Whatever it is it's no doubt a 2021 game, but I don't doubt we'll see something on it relatively soon.
Look at the comments, I straight up said to him 'why are you making a game for an audience that doesn't appreciate narrative heavy games and denigrates them by calling them 'walking sims'.Look at all those ex-PlayStation employees.
Traitors.
We both know Death Stranding will be a homerun. This studio doesn't have a 'Kojima' in their team to guide them into a great visionary concept.
The boobs were meaningful, wernt they?kojima didn't have enough time to make it more meaningful.
Machine games dont deserve to be beside those other developers. Unfortunately Gallagher has been responsible for very derivative games like Tomb Raider...One doesn't need a Kojima-san in a team. One just needs a well run and funded team and it's entirely possible for a new start-up team to make great games right at the start, if one wants to get past the fanboy load of crap.
Playground Games, Machine Games, Respawn, Platinum ECT have done it. So one will just have to see what their games will be like

You can see people from Sony studios went to Crystal Dynamics to help with Avengers but Avengers looks boring and basic compared to GOW in term of combat.
The Initiative will just try and emulate Sony studios and they might make a decent game but it will never be great, it will always feel like an imitation.
Yeah, they should fire who ever does marketing for them, who needs marketing let alone lunch? Psh, not game developers, that's who. While their at it, they should never be excited either.A studio will get my thumbs up and hype as long as it gives something good. As soon as you fuck up (bioware) you get back to level 1.
This studio is like an mmo whale that bought end game stuff and didnt manage to achieve anything yet. So, yeah, less talk more work.

Check the date of the OP. This is an old thread.Are you fucking for real? ANOTHER "this is what The Initiative is" piece?
Best ad firm in town, but their games are shit until proven otherwise.
ANOTHER necrobump when someone could simply have made a new thread for new news?Check the date of the OP. This is an old thread.
I think you're joking, but new thread for a tweet? Nah.ANOTHER necrobump when someone could simply have made a new thread for new news?
Fresh news is great but the posting practices are shit until proven otherwise.
Half-joking.I think you're joking, but new thread for a tweet? Nah.
Wasn't The Coalition a faction that was actually in Gears of War? Since they make Gears of War, it makes sense.The Initiative and The Coalition are without a doubt the most retarded names for a company in the history of videogames.
They sound so inorganic and fake, like a fucking boy band or a McDonalds meal.
Nothing new to Microsoft tough.
Akchuuually! I'm pretty sure they were called 'The Affiliation'.Wasn't The Coalition a faction that was actually in Gears of War? Since they make Gears of War, it makes sense.

Yes it's the COG, the Coalition of Ordered Governments.Wasn't The Coalition a faction that was actually in Gears of War? Since they make Gears of War, it makes sense.
I know dude...all of the names of the studios I listed above are just Synonyms of the real MS studios.The COG, Coalition of Ordered Governments.
Coalition of Ordered Governments
"I am responsible for myself and my actions; I shall conduct myself honorably, and live a clean and frugal life. I have responsibilities to my fellow citizens. I shall be loyal to them, and humble, because we are elements of a greater whole, and without them I am nothing, I have responsibilities...gearsofwar.fandom.com
Because they need to make a team first. And for that you have to advertise hiring. Current they only have 37. Not something where they can stfu and develop.If game development is such a long and arduous process then they should stfu and develop.
Some come some go away
I always thought they should name themselves the COGalition instead, since they are essentially a Gears dev house now......Akchuuually! I'm pretty sure they were called 'The Affiliation'.

She was just their as a recruiter, not a game dev.I always thought they should name themselves the COGalition instead, since they are essentially a Gears dev house now......
Don't know what Murray is so defensive about.....The problem is, just recently, when anyone left a studio for the Initiative, people made new threads about it, trying to imply an issue at these studios and that things were better at the Initiative, (sinking ships and all that), hence why everybody was leaving for that burgeoning ship......We told folk people leave studios for various reasons, hell for better pay and opportunities, to work on something new, to be closer to their loved ones, but I guess such answers never made sense till someone left the Initiative themselves......
You need an upgrade, it seems that your OS is running on an outdated firmware. It’s all getting boring and stale now.I always thought they should name themselves the COGalition instead, since they are essentially a Gears dev house now......
