Deadfall Adventures was fun. And that ww3 online game looks interesting. So sure, why not.
Microsoft is covering all bases, all genres or at least a lot. That's something I can only appreciate. Even when I know I won't be bothering with strategy games or games like Wasteland. Those are not my type of RPG and I know I'll get my third person RPG fix by Playground and I'd love to see inXile come with something like that in the future as well.
Personally what i hope to see next gen is these new studios really pushing the XSX to its limits. We have 343i, TC, Turn10, PG and NT that we can count on for that. But can we expect beautiful visuals and animations from Undead Labs, Compulsion and Obsidian? This is something Sony never misses their shot at, games from their own studios always looked superb on PS4.
I agree about your last point though, I'd love to see a studio at XGS covering the third person action adventure/cinematic etc genre, like Tomb Raider, Uncharted, TLOU, or maybe even something similar to GTA for example.
Still hoping TI's first game is a new IP.
So much this, and I won't lie, still baffles me how this is viewed as an unpopular opinion around this parts
Well, there it is. I mean, it was obvious that there's no need to worry about Gears future or Rod exit from TC, but at the same time is good to have a "confirmation". Thanks for the info, and let me ask you something: how do youb feel about this change on The Coalition? From a personal perspective, I mean .

Not to blow a tweet out of proportion, but could we safely assume whatever Phil played was NOT open-world, and probably linear?

I can understand it.
It may have been the most varied but that variety was mostly the bigger areas, something that in my opinion didn't add much to the experience at all. Truly hope they will flesh that out more in 6, have enemies roam around in the big open areas, in vehicles, maybe have NPCs there with quests. If it was all up to me I'd scrap the open areas and keep Gears what it does best....snaller scale areas with shootouts, some of those horror parts from 1 again. I just noticed it during 5's campaign, it truly shined when it was the smaller scale stuff, the tight corridors or a big open street, but not the huge open areas with not much to do.
For me it started off so damn strong, but after act 2 it started to go downhill for me. I just couldn't get into that desert location at all. And when in the last act things picked up again with smaller scale parts it was over in no time. It's definitely a mixed bag for me too. 6 could be where they truly knock it out of the park for me.
After 6 I hope Gears gets a break, let's see something totally different.
Interesting. Checkpoints could definitely point to a shooter like PD and Goldeneye. I believe both had checkpointws? It's been so long.
+1
As rockstar doesn't seem interested in revisiting London, I would love to see Playground games make a game like this. Maybe even consult Guy Ritchie on the plot?!
Maybe. But don't forget some Open World games also have checkpoints, especially during main quest/mission. Like GTA, RDR2 and others.
Also, I'm pretty sure that they're still working on the bones of the game, building a vertical demo slice of it to finally enter full production this year, after reveal. They're still hiring for some key positions on it, just moved to a bigger building and etc
Oh hell yeah, I like the sound of that. But it's possible the second PG studio is a RPG studio. But that's just me guessing, for all we know they make something totally different after their RPG.
Open world games have missions though, missions have checkpoints. Could be anything at this point.
Yep, could be anything from Racer to Action adventure both linear and open world. MY guess is semi open world action adventure as Tomb Raider (Reboot) is.
That would be nuts, but let's wait and see what Houser does next. It's absolutely possible he's gonna take it easy, enjoy life, enjoy the money. But I can't deny that I'd love to see him joining XGS, if he decides to stick around in the industry.
I think after the whole AAAA thing, and the fact that TI has people from Rockstar and other open world games that their first game definitely was going to be this big open world thing, like a GTA. I kinda thought that way as well, I mean you bring on board some serious talent, but it could be anything. E3 can't come soon enough, because for sure they'll reveal it there. Hopefully actual gameplay, if it's far along enough.
If you zoom in and look closely enough, I believe you can see something from the screen reflecting on his glasses....
Just caught up on Rod leaving The Coalition (and pretty much Xbox Games Studios in general) While I will say that I'm slightly concerned because of Coalition's past (three re-namings and several canned/discontinued projects) and also the fact that Rod did leave 2K/Hangar13 when they were working on Mafia 3... TC did add a lot of cool (both new and old) ideas to Gears 5 that does make it my favourite instalment by far.
Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle brought over. A sequel or re-imagining of Full Throttle.
I honestly cannot wait to see what they do with their new found stability as a MS studio. I love those guys.
Double Fine is very much a Xbox studio :)
I am definitely waiting for Psychonauts 2, even when I have yet to play the first one. Their next game is a MP game isn't it? That isn't really their forte though, but we'll see.
For someone who's as active as you in this thread, I would think you'd know this.
Double Fine?
ok sorry i
sorry guys i I thought they were People can fly xD
i get things mixed i thought he talk about Outriders
The only way a CliffyB/Gears reunion would have worked was with Rod at the helm of the studio and in place to keep him in check. Cliff respected Rod and I don't think he would have caused trouble under Rod's watch. I don't see it going too well with a new leader in place, no matter who the leader may be.
I mean, even open-world games have checkpoints. You're definitely reading too much into it. That being said, I do think the first game they make is probably linear or similar in scope to something like Control. A crazy, cinematic AAAA action-adventure would be great, but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze when you could do something like Control for a half or a third of the resources. I wasn't even really a fan of Control, but I think that blueprint has to be enticing for Microsoft.
Ah, I see. I don't think People Can Fly is completely out of the picture when it comes to an acquisition, but given they are working on this game for SE now, probably not anytime soon.
Nah, you post on ResetERA, that automatically makes you an expert on anything games related, including economy
Well, I quite enjoued Iron Brigade and to me it counts as a MP title, so they do have some experience.
Let's see what they surprise us with
I did nothing, but the next gen thread is not about next gen anymore but about a lottery when the PS5 event is. As long this is the case it doesn't make much sense to post there because all is buried under those posts especially if you would try to discuss something Xbox related.
If it is allowed I will post some of that stuff here instead. Makes more sense anyway as this is the group interested in discussing Xbox.

Yeah I posted "how is this a merged next gen discussion thread if the entire thing is people saying dates for a ps5 reveal" and it was immediately buried by 900 posts saying dates.
Look what you did, Tonky. I did enjoy the Transformer gifs and public execution posts though
But please do post next gen stuff here! I enjoy your posts
My show was impacted by decisions made by the forum government, so I selected to go into exile for some time.
