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.The only one I would like to have is Insomniac.
But it's very likely Quantic Dream, or Ready at Down :(
What happened to that thread? I couldn't read it earlier. I was imagining the replies, and now it has gone
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.
Shame..
The way he worded this situation is ... Suspicious, to say the least. However, I already would be really happy with MechWarrior 5 coming to the console. I don't think this has to do with an acquisition, but rather really focused talks on their games.
I feel 90% sure Klo is talking about Ready at Dawn.
They make the most sense.
Quantic Dream and Supermassive have been successful and presumably are happy with their arrangement with Sony.
Meanwhile, Ready at Dawn made spinoff games for years, got one shot at an original IP with The Order, blew it, and they've been benched ever since.
They're also located in Irvine, California - right by Obsidian.
And Phil sure loves the fact he's got 3 studios in southern California, so why not add another?
Microsoft acquiring Ready at Dawn makes a ton of sense and it'd be great to have a graphical powerhouse studio next to Obsidian. Just imagine the potential behind Obsidian helping out RAD with writing and worldbuilding and RAD helping Obsidian with their graphical tech?
RAD would be a great fit with MGS.
I'm highly confident it's RAD. They're Irvine based which is where Obsidian is located and is about 10 minutes away from InXile. Phil talked about how studios that are very close to each other help each other a lot and build one another up. Ready At Dawn has expertise in areas that both Obsidian and InXile could use and every single one of them could build each other up and help one another.
They're also between 100 - 150 which would be a decent size. They have 2 studios and two projects going on, one is VR (which that team could go for Hololens) and the other is a new IP that's third-person.

Klobrille the real MVP. I don't necessarily need to know what studios are coming and when, but letting us know how much MS is moving and investing is a big deal for those invested in this ecosystem. Keep up the excellent work!
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.It's interesting what ppl think what a bit means. Seemingly like 5 games means still a bit xD.
Listen to that 10%.I feel 90% sure Klo is talking about Ready at Dawn.

Same, I think RaD would have been a good fit.
So you know something ? O.o
Yeah now with Shinobi whispers I would say is 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 higherBluepoint'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.
