Microsoft Looking To Revolutionize WHAT And HOW You Play
Job listings confirm Microsoft's plans to establish a new studio with major aspirations...
Following on from the news that Microsoft is seeking to bolster the Halo team in preparation for the next title, TVG also discovered significant positions for the establishment of a new internal studio.
The interesting point is contained in the following description, featured on the 20+ positions currently listed:
"We are building a NEW GAME STUDIO from the ground up that will revolutionize both WHAT you play and HOW you play."
Beyond the fact that it lists the project as "next-generation" and claims experience with Unreal or CyEngine as a plus, further details also allude to the type of game that could emerge:
"Candidates must have a proven track record in AAA game design. Must have a clear understanding and experience creating story, dialog, interface, character interaction, mission/environment design, look and feel, AI, combat, strategy, game-flow, and balance."
"We are looking for a creative thinker who can draw on their extensive gaming background to develop new and innovative experiences instead of compilations of other games' ideas. We want somebody who can put forth ideas without fear, and build off other people's zany creations."
