Xbox Game Studios |OT11| The One with Starfield and Activision Blizzard King

even though the reorganization happened i’m surprised people aren’t talking about it and the expanded powers given to all of xbox leadership beside the usual xbox youtubers

It won’t set in for me until COD releases day one on gamepass.

Alan wake 2 is really good. Reminds me much more of Remedy’s other game Quantum Break, rather than Control with how it’s linear and more focused.

Kind of bizarre how Quantum Break got points taken away for being too story focused and having complicated presentation when Alan Wake tries as hard as it can to be lynchian.

I think the TV show did that game in. I think if they changed that to in game cinematic then the game would be viewed more fondly.

20 years of CoD, sheeeeesh.

I remember the very first game on PC back then, but personally I preferred Medal of Honor back then, thought that was way better. But CoD 2 on 360 sealed the deal.

Same for me. I played the hell out of that game at launch. I feel old now. :smile:

Feels silly to call it a studio when it has 7000 plus employees, More than Xbox had as a whole before this!

yes this is quite a weird take. if blizzard is one studio, then make one pic for the whole xbox studios

Blizzard don’t publicly distinguish their internal teams or recognize them as traditional “studios” really.

Interesting, is this supposed to be new IP?

Action RPG?

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubbles but just to set expectations:

Edit: Sorry, full quote responding to isn’t showing, but Sebastian was working on Diablo IV. It doesn’t look like he’s doing another game.

Okay but who is that? You’re not really saying anything

He’s saying it’s not a new game, he’s working on Diablo
