It had been months, maybe even a year or longer ago that me and my friends played Gears 4 Horde. Well, this evening it was like the good old days again. It was awesome. I've always loved Horde. Even if we didn't manage to finish wave 50 on freaking casual too.... I have to admit that we had a real hard time,lol.
I really wonder what TC is planning on doing for Horde and perhaps new modes like that for Gears 5.

I think it'll be quite appropriate to call it Game Pass: The Musical
Yeah so, The Outer Worlds is published by private division and We Happy Few is published by gearbox, I don't think they care if they really wanted the studio
The gameplay synopsis of Typhoon's Journey to the Savage Planet sounds boring af:
But I assume there is more to this game than that. The trailer is certainly intriguing, hopefully we'll finally see some gameplay on Inside Xbox.
It sounds like The Martian but without the part where Matt Damon gets stranded and things get exciting.

Reminds me of Unknown Worlds Entertainment's Subnautica, which is a great game. Unknown Worlds is owned by Perfect World so the studio not for sale I guess. Typhoon's Journey to the Savage Planet sounds like a portfolio game to me, in the sense that it looks pretty good but not very original.
At the very least, it makes sense in this specific scenario. Instead of building from the ground up and having one game ready 6 years from now, you acquire a freshly minted studio that already took are of the all the administrative stuff and can hit the ground running after a smaller hiring spree.
That's great news, definitely points to studio growth if they're needing more HR management. I'd love to see them grow and be able to do something big with all that style.
Alright I got some kind of crazy-ass conspirancy theory: Could they be teasing this interactions between Scorpion, Rico and Doomguy because they're going to add Just Cause 4, MK11 and DOOM Eternal at one point?
Good poaching territory. Now just need to find the person with skills to poach.

That's.. that's actually pretty cool. I was not interested in the game before, but i'll a keep an eye on it now! Thanks :P
Yeah that bolded seems pretty crazy

Game Pass is the key to getting more Japanese content on Xbox.
Xcloud could do wonders improving Xbox brand recognition in Japan too.
Grounding purchase when
Probably not, probably more a reference to the fact that Just Cause 3, Doom, and Mortal Kombat X are all currently on Gamepass. The Scorpion joke was even in the last one of these email screenshot teases they did
btw that linkedin thing from Compulsion
Not that it wasn't obvious, but i recall some posters wanting more We Happy Few so just a heads up
personally: thank god, we happy few sucked

They are also still working on We Happy Few, they've got 3 DLC in the pipe plus the sandbox mode. Hard to say what the split is though who's working on what. DLC doesn't always require all hands, but neither does pre-production on a new IP. I'd imagine the new IP team right now is the small one, but as We Happy Few content finishes up it will grow bit by bit.
yeah, i mean after the DLC. They are a 2 teams studio :P
what i meant with more We Happy Few is, like, a sequel
Could not agree more. Just forced myself to finish we happy few and man that game has so many issues I'm not sure where to begin. Contrast was a way better game than WHF.
The only positives I'd say it had its an interesting setting, some cool art style, and that's about it. The game systems were confusing and never really explained, combat was horrible, missions were repetitive, etc...
I hope for their next game they simplify and focus on a smaller experience
Is this actually true tho? I know people will complain about it but I don't ever recall a games sales suffering because of this. Infact quite the opposite...The community will complain the game is overexposed and then go on to sale 5 million copies first week (obvious over exaggeration)
I actually just played it this past weekend thanks to GamePass and was pleasantly surprised. I sunk about 6-8 hours into it and am enjoying it for the story. The systems are confusing and poorly explained, but I found a few helpful guides online that gave helpful tips on some of the gameplay loops.
But the story and the personality/charm is what makes it. It flows over into the menu system and UI, too.
I dunno, given the resources and the unconventional development cycle (you can see the rememants of the survival early access game) this game could've been something really special with a Bioshock or Dishonored budget and team size.
Many on this thread have said Compulsion could be their dark horse acquisition, and I can see why
I feel like Compulsion is the studio that is furthest away from releasing a Xbox/PC exclusive. I'm on the fence about more We Happy Few or starting on something else from scratch. I really like the style in this trailer:
There's potential there, but it sounds like the scope of the game got away from them. Making a new game with the right vision from the get-go would probably go a long way, as would cutting out some of the bloat (perks, crafting, multiple storylines) and just focusing on tightening up the gameplay and level design while maintaining the unique art style; the same approach Arkane took with Dishonored.
I get what you're saying, but also, Bioshock was kind of a huge deal. I'm sure any developer would love to "just do what Bioshock did".
Definitely the story and atmosphere. Not that it was the first piece of media to do those things, but Bioshock kind of came out of nowhere and was such a big and influential hit. It also turned the Immersive Sim genre, something that's kind of niche, into something that was suitable for mass market consumption.
I don't personally care for it all that much, Bioshock 1 is actually my least favorite of the trilogy, but I've never seen so many people with so many different tastes and preferences all just kind of find what should have been honestly kind of a niche game so agreeable. It's also kind of become a metric on it's own right to sell other games, whether by press or fans. "It looks like Bioshock" is something I've heard and seen a lot of within the last 2 generations, and it's always exclusively been used in a positive fashion.
Needs to be reiterated...what WHF turned out to be was made in short time by a small team. They scrapped the previous version of the game. You can see the talent for art and storytelling there. Just sucks to have a really long load time with no animation of opening a door to go from one room to the next. Those types of things can be rectified with a bigger team. Compulsion also needs a more established person to work on the combat.
I agree with those that say they should leave the IP alone. Interested to see what they can do next with a bigger team. Start fresh.
Hopefully they move away from requiring players to grind classes in order to maximize their effectiveness. It was much better when you could come as you are and your effectiveness be based on your skills as a player and not on attributes obtained by grinding and lootboxes.
This is what I'm talking about. First game to work on bringing to the platform from Korea should be Lost Ark. It's divine.

I have a feeling 2019 is going to be a great year for Splash Damage!

I think they're working (helping?) on Gears: Tactics and recently went on a hiring spree. I think they're helping with Gears 5 as well.
