So the more I think about it, I think I'm starting to lean more towards Housemarque being the potential studio buyout for MS rather than Quantic Dream. They mentioned that a year or so ago they had to decide between either downsizing or vast growth in order to thrive in the future and they picked growth (and are still hiring). With Stormdivers (a BR game they've been at least concepting since 2015) and whatever new AAA IP they're working on, I could see MS taking interest in their work.
As someone that loves twinstick shooters, I really hope they rethink about the whole 'Arcade is dead' thing if they were officially under MS, but I doubt it.

I think when the PS5 see's Anaconda it will go blind from overexposure to sheer awesomeness
David Jaffee got weird after gamergate started. Not sure what his issue is lately.
That's also a stupid plan. MS adore not have trouble getting gamer bros into their ecosystem. Gears does that fine and even they are moving that away. Halo is really stretching it but I've never viewed that franchise the same way I view CoD or Gears. There may be overlap due to competitive multiplayer but that's it.

Don't try. I treat my library like a sampler. Just keep rotating the samples until I find a main course I want to stick with. It's OK not to complete everything you own or have access to. Game Pass is great for game explorers.
It seems like his idea is make Xbox the alt-right console.
I have 600+ X1 games (digitally, probably way over 700 including discs), and I'm still finding Game Pass worth it, especially when it's discounted, and that's pretty often.
Dudebros = Neo-Nazis? I don't think there's any correlation. When I think dudebro I think jocks, fratboys, Doritos and Mountain Dew.
No need to shoehorn in politics, his argument as is is silly enough without making crap up.
Most of psnow games are still ps3 games though, and even Ps4 ones are from the early years. If in addition to the current library they offered new stuff it would be quite special already, even without offering day one releases.
nice , love those type of video, viva pinata at the beginning :(
MS are looking for mid-sized creative teams. Housemarque seem ambitious and are looking to grow, what better way then a huge backer giving you creative freedom?
Seems like both their interests are aligning here.
My main problem is that maybe many games I start, will leave game pass before I finish lol how long do they usually last for?
If you really like the game you were playing you get a discount with your Gamepass sub.
And most games are on the service for many months.
Holy shit at Gears 4 is having 4000 achievement points. Just played a bit MP and 46 rounds of Horde mode and finished up the campaign on Insane difficulty around when the game released and only have 775 points.
Maybe if you will launch the game now you'll unlock automatically some of these new Achievements.
About MSGP's collaboration with studios for Crackdown 3. We know that they are working with Sumo for the game, but Joe Staten also briefly mentioned another studio. Anyone who found something back on a studio named "Elbow Rocket"? They are supposed to help out on Crackdown 3's multiplayer, but i can barely find anything back on the studio.
We talked about this a lot on Discord. I think we came to the tentative conclusion that Elbow Rocket has to be an internal division at Microsoft.
The earliest article that mentions Elbow Rocket that i can find dates from E3 2018.
It's weird though that they mention that MSGP works on Crackdown 3 "in collaboration with Sumo Digital and Elbow Rocket". Maybe it's just a very small studio. However, it definitely sounds likely if it's just an internal team working on Crackdown 3.

It's weird how silent Microsoft is about Age of Empires. Even the team that is working with them on the remasters is silent:

(they do have an open job position tho)
I don't think AoE:DE did really well. Their Twitter is still only focusing on AoE2HD (and rightfully so, it still has a really active community)

They announced AoE IV pretty early. Pretty sure we'll get to see the game in 2019 - maybe along with other strategy news for Microsoft Studios.
So I was watching a top 3 most disappointing games video of MrmattyPlays and We happy Few is in there. He wanted to love the game because it reallly reminded him of Bioshock but he said the procedurally generated environments really turned out to be a bad idea, the bugs, too much focus on combat.
There more I read/hear about this game the more to me it seems that there's still a enjoyable game underneath all that and that gives me hope for their future games. Especially because they now have the backing of MS too, bigger budget should hopefully mean better games in the future. I still intend to buy WHF at some point. I was surprised it wasn't in the sale. But I definitely think this is a developer that can grow if they look at the mistakes made when they make their next game.

Oh, I understand the lack of news on AoE4. But the lack of news on patching AoE:DE and the AoE2 and AoE3 remasters is weird.

I think that Elbow Rockey might be the concept art and animation studio working on the 2D animated Crackdown 3 cinematics.

It's been mentioned a number of times on here that Housemarque appear to be working with Sony on something (the Sony Xdev account was retweeting their job listings), so I think it's safe to rule out them for the time being (although I could be wrong), as for QD I REALLY hope MS isn't actually considering them as I could see it being a bit of a disaster.
I can't remember who but someone here mentioned Tarsier Studios (tearaway unfolded, little nightmares) which imo makes a ton of sense.
One of my favorite games this year. Loved the story, and I thought the gameplay was interesting. The Second Character playthrough was not fun though.
Which Discord Server? How can i join it? Would love to discuss some more stuff
Good to read something positive here about it. I'll definitely get it next year. Too much to play right now.
By the way, next IGN First Crackdown update should be next week right? So far the only thing we've had was the gameplay video last week, correct?
I loved We Happy Few, but unfortunately did not finish the game (yet).
I put a lot of hours into Arthur's campaign and though the storytelling was top-notch. When I hit the second campaign and realized I had to start over with inventory and perks, I was disappointed and stopped playing.
I wasn't expecting much, as I never played during Early Access, and was pleasantly surprised by WHF. Compulsion Games has a ton of potential!
Damn. Agents and bugs both sound like awesome shared world potential games.
Agreed. Using the base of SoT for other types of games would be interesting to see.
Actually, just give me a Get Bass style MMO game on fishing boats.
basically is not so hard doing a better action game than god of war. Those games had an epic surface with amazing graphics but the gameplay was pretty mediocre, hidden by a massive amount of epicness.
LOS is a way better "game", just not well exposed.
Oh yes for sure. Basically in tech there's no need to innovate until it works.
that gif is so inspiring, I hope the whole game has this cartoon vibeFor Battletoads, i'm quite happy they decided to go with hand-drawn animations. Something that'll be interesting though is the art style they could be going with. I do hope the toads look great both in animation and just in terms of design.
So far the only stuff we have related to the art style is this small piece of animation:
KH's music license is bit convoluted, it may be one of the reason why are still playstation locked, not even on pc or nintendo
We don't know if Brian Reed was fired, he left, or his contract just expired
Scrapping the second best game in the saga while preserving h3?
Nah the lore survived halo 3 and reach(that really fucked everything. Lore right now is perfecly fine, maybe in its best spot in halo history, but it would be too long to explain all th loop a precursors stuff. The only thing we know is that it will continue h5 and it will start in medias res.
Yeah I can't find him on twitter, I guess that being the scapegoat of a nasty community is a nightmare.
Problem is that sony games offers a low replay value, except for god of war and detroit. Spiderman is one of the easiest game I ever tried(not a fault of the game, they had to nail the casual audience), and so on.
Games like botw, or even linear ones like dishonored, doom or halo, offers ton of fun because each plays is never the same
Looks like is something subjective
the open world is good, the missions are the same rockstar missions with a western skin, I got bored after a few ones.
turn 10 and sony san diego are definitely AAA, even if it's not your kind of experience
inXile and NInja Theory's ones are amazing, fight me
I'm a bit scared that being beefy nowadays means reaching a determined number of hours abusing lite rpg mechanics(that I hate, I love hardcore rpg, the lite rpg thing this gen is boring) and killing replay value
Awesome. Shrouded spoils is a perfectly handled update.Incredible what one man can do for a game.
Once Arena is out SoT should be even more popular again.
Guess what will happen after 2-3 months Arena's release? Another, or even other two, update.
Me. Fallout new vegas and kotor 2 are masterpieces, plus Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are godlike world builders with the first fallout and vampire: the masquerade.
Matt Booty already talked of state of decay 3
IDK if the SOD formula will work without zombies, like dragons or vampires.
Still the game is fucking addicting once you start building your base.
Atlas hype and disaster is a huge assist to SoT.
Plus Shrouded Spoils is one of the best updates this gen. I was underwelmed while reading the patch notes, yet in game everything feels so good.
MSFT is already in VR.
Plus investing hugely in vr could be a kinect-like disaster.
The last updates were awesome, easy
Arena Looks good, but I still have hopes for a survival/horde mode pve based
VR has still everything to prove. It's a start, but a little one. Kinect was a way bigger one.
Lol that thread is hilarious.
MTX could be done good or bad, like everything.
Plus people should remember really bad practises like the old season passes and online passes.
Basically the old methods drained money from the community, separating who paid from the vanilla version, to apply mtx you had to preserve the community with regular content updtes so someone may pay for everyone.
Nope, because arean is based on the adventure sandbox, so the will enhance each other.
Still buffles me what kind of magic had halo ce. It was a shit ton of fun to play(and still remains), but the saga really started as a universe with 2.
Interesting. An internal gaming division or a cloud one?
Sea of Thieves should be released in March 2019 with all content which we saw already. Then maybe they could have much much better launch and continuity of playing gamers :)
Maybe, but because people are impatiently, it would of reached Crackdown levels of "jokes" about never releasing.
So it's either release early and get trashed, or release later with more content but be the butt of more jokes, and possibly lose the interest of many.
perhaps a lot of the content they are and have been releasing has altered in some way shape or form from community feedback, and if they just kept waiting until they felt like it was "enough", for someone like you, then they would have never released it.
their launch was great from what i remember sooo idk what you are talking about having a 'better' launch.
Hopefully Microsoft really learnt that lesson and they won't tease any game at least for 2 years before release (with already accepted date, no delays), like Halo Infinite. If it'll be in 2020, that will be good timing. Gears 5 is so obvious it'll be in Holiday 2019. But Battletoads is really wondering thing.
That's sad true.
