i’m still wondering what the game People Can Fly is making for xbox based on an existing IP. Which IP has been selected?

Don’t think it’s necessarily based on an existing IP. I think the language just meant Xbox would own the IP

It’s likely going to be FPS or TPS.
My guess is another spin-off from Gears of War as they previously made Gears of War Judgement.

They might be working on gears of war collection. That contract we know between them and MS is for existing IP afterall. And budget was also not much for it.

It is based on an existing IP from MS
Their project codenames are usually a hint of what they want like project phoenix which was a proposal to buy SE so maverick to me means planes maybe crimson skies?
I dunno, that just might mean that MS will own the IP, not that it’s an IP that already exists like Gears
People Can Fly has more a pedigree to do GOW Collection than Crimson Skies, no ?
yes primarily but they are a work for hire studio we can say the same thing about Asobo but people were surprised that the studio who did “A plague tale” did a Flight Simulator
I guess it’s open to interpretation, we need a lawyer haha. When I read IP rights it comes off as different than just saying IP, like saying the ownership of the IP will fall under MS but who knows I guess. We’ll find out in a few years.
Asobo did Fuel before, which is based on a streamed world of very large size. It is even more likely that Fuel was the largest map for a game on earth and a good proof of concept before doing FS and its earth modelling.
I do not see anything deviating from the FPS/Gear concept in PCF resume. Do you ?
I assume this is a recent deal, so it wouldn’t be GOW Collection
That can be a new IP that is owned by MS, though, no?
You know what is crazy and maybe I’m reaching, but the first thing that comes to my mind with Maverick is Shadowrun.
In the game your connected to the Matrix, with Shadowrunners who were able to get around different thing and a Maverick is able to think for themself by being disconnected.
So now I’m envisioning a game like Gears of War set in the Shadowrun universe.

i really don’t think non-rpg games in the shadowrun universe are what fans of that universe want.

Yeah we had a shooter in Shadowrun universe already and as innovative as it was at the time we wanted an rpg.

I’m right there with you in wanting a RPG.
My dream Shadowrun game is an open world, third person or first person, Shooter, RPG. A mix of Fallout meets Cyberpunk 2077.
The reason I said the comment that I said was because People Can Fly made a Gears of War game and have experience with shooters, not that I personally want it only as a shooter.
