Anybody thinking Ember Labs might be of some interest to Xbox/PlayStation?
Was waiting to ask until reviews released…. And I’m kinda getting Moon Studios vibes,
The way I look at it. If a publisher was a publisher, it’d be SEGA. They just publish a lot of different kinds of things.
Paradox is not worth a Blue Blur that’s what it is! You just don’t deserve him!
For xbox? No

Trying to find a post in here that runs down all the studios who have worked with Microsoft on various projects but have not yet been acquired. Does anyone recall that post? If so, would you kindly link to it again? Thanks.

See, I’m not 100% sure on that. Ninja Theory and Xbox’s relationship seemed to grow very close when working on the Xbox port of Hellblade….
I definitely think Sony should be interested though.
Xbox had a need for studios and historically had a relationship with Ninja Theory to begin with.
As of now based on how Sony-Xbox behave - Ember Labs point to Sony.

And if that’s true, those pending acquisitions could be announced this fall and be finalized then
That’s exactly what happened with the Bethesda deal

realistically what type of games MS need right now ? what studio/publisher they should aim for ?
i mean if we look at the market, i think it will be Ubisoft, it fit most of GP missing/needed content and it’s not something far-fetched giving the current state of UBI…

To break it right down Xbox needs IMO;
-
More kids games
-
More fighting games
-
More Japanese support (while I don’t think it’s a big deal for myself it is to Xbox as a whole, I don’t think Xbox is doomed without it either)
-
More PC titles and genres for PC
-
Maybe a big esport game
-
Maybe a big BR game
