Microsoft Studios |OT3| I thought they were supposed to be sold off by now
- Thread starter Figments

Not a chance of QD. The ongoing lawsuits would prevent that from ever getting past Microsoft's integrity process. Sony has also worked with them for quite longer than "a bit" too.
Ready at Dawn is a better fit, or the likes of Sanzaru etc.
What happened to that thread? I couldn't read it earlier. I was imagining the replies, and now it has gone
Open world coop Castlevania game inspired by the Netflix series, please.
Bluepoint would be a big get for Microsoft. They want to work on their own IP's as well, so if Microsoft is willing to do it, go for it.
For sure, anything that helps me justify that Xbox HOTAS is good stuff regardless.
Looking back at my notes: 2018 would actually fall into the previous renewal timeframe (license extension was finalized in November 2013 when it was to expire midway through 2015) since 2020 is the date things come to a close this time around. Though you have to figure, after all that talk about building up their PC catalogue, the topic has come up at some point for MS to take a more active presence with this IP rather than signing it away for another 5 years.
The world is still waiting on that AAA MechWarrior.
Ms have got a lot of studios to buy the Sony link is presumably one or two studios of the many that ms will be looking to (and finish) acquiring
So I couldn't post for a while, so I was on reddit and this is what I posted there:
Could be quantic dream, ready at dawn, supermassive or bluepoint games, it's definitely not insomniac since he says mid sized studio and klobrille himself denied it was them.

"One area that we've not explored very deeply is, 'What does our design prowess looks like? What is our ability to build something original and to expand it, rather than just upgrading something?' and so we look at those things and we are constantly trying to enhance and strengthen the studio to get to a point where, yeah, doing original development or whatever comes our way, we're fully capable of doing it."

Klobrille talked about a Texas studio months ago, and they have worked with Sony. If Microsoft offers them creative freedom, and allows them to work on their own IP, they may be interested. Also it gives me hope to a Banjo remake xD

Bluepoint's 'design prowess' is an interesting question. That studio was started by some of the senior staff from Metroid Prime. Literally one of the most finely crafted games ever. But that's also true of Armature, the team behind ReCore and the portable Batman game, and... well... yeah...
They said their current project will give them some opportunity to do some design work, so we'll see soon enough potentially.

I'm not one for paying attention to what PS fans have to say about MS, but good lord I had to post this, the salt over on Pushsquare is absurd:

Bluepoint could fit, but I'd sooner be looking at Playful, Armature, Turtle Rock and Certain Affinity based on the area.
Could still happen, bud. That's a studio clearly lacking for the resources to match their ambitions.

People are just speculating on all possibilities as of the moment. If a poll went up which was the most likely i think the winner would probably be Ready at Dawn, HouseMarque(They were my first guess), or Quantic Dream. Its also very possible that nobody has guessed what studio he is talking about, and we may never know as nothing may happen.

I'll say this.
The studio Klobrille was talking about isn't necessarily the same Shinobi would know about.
Unless Shinobi knows for a fact that RAD are working on a new game for Sony, in which case, yeah, that would make it unlikely they're in talks with Microsoft.
It's possible Microsoft has made moves towards several "free agents" as it were associated with Sony.

Yeah now with Shinobi whispers I would say is Bluepoint.
Housemarquee is a small studio doesn't make sense.
With RAD out.
There only 2 options Quantic Dream or Bluepoint. But Bluepoint in my opinion is a much valuable asset.
I'm predicting the next few studios will be in Texas with studios in close proximity to each other to share tech, so maybe like armature, turtle rock, and perhaps bluepoint
They're saving them for the next batch of acquisition rumours lmao
Well, problem with recore was that it was rushed, if given more development time, recore would've been rated higher

Real close. Figured at first it was a bit too much of "fighting yourself for talent" problem but after that last interview I'm thinking that might not actually be the case.
