Xbox Game Studios |OT3| Once more....with feeling (Part 1)

What rumours are these ?

We have to wait until the weekend to find out.

@Sikamikanico and @Shpeshal_Nick are being tight-lipped about it, but are hyping up the rumor mill.

:chief_think:

Is this rumor mill basically all the rumors we’ve had so far and they discuss it or do they have new ones? I’m not familiar with this rumor mill. But if people are in the know about some new stuff, let’s get it!

They said it was gonna be :fire:

Thanks to which ever one of you sickos gave me my new tag…

You’re welcome.

So when Ed hears something and has usually checked on it from a few different places, we have a segment just before community questions called the rumour mill. We call it that because, well, it’s based on rumour and hearsay.

It’s usually time stamped, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble.

Nice! This’ll be a Youtube video? I got you guys in my subscriptions. :slight_smile:

I already posted that. I was quoting some one that stated even if none of the studios were in Europe, Europe would need to approve of the buy out. Which wouldn’t make sense.

If you read back far enough you’ll see I stated it made sense since 3 studios are in Europe.

Rumor Mill is part of the podcast episodes somewhere in the middle.

Does aspyr doing the kotor remake rule out inXile doing a high republic game or do you think they will be separate. I feel like this guarantees aspyr will be doing the high republic rpg

Oh right. I never read your other post, just seen you asking a question & volunteered some information. I apologise.

Recent rumour from 4chan, copied from Reddit:

4Chan post on Xbox. Probably fake, but mentions Sega, Playtonic Viva Party game, Coalition LucasFilm game, acquisition target criteria, Minecraft platformer

Source : /v/ - Xbox leak - Video Games - 4chan (4channel.org)

Here is what he said if you dont want to click the link:

>Xbox and PlayTonic Games are collaborating on a project. It’s not Banjo Kazooie. It’s a new Viva Piñata game. Xbox is testing them out to see if they can work on more “lucrative IP’s”.

>The Bethesda deal is on track to finish in February. I don’t know the details, but all I know is that it will be announced via an Xbox wire, with the announcement of the Backwards compatibility program being in the works.

>don’t expect Minecraft ray tracing this year nor Age of Empires on Xbox

>Xbox is in talks with SEGA for acquisition. It’s in similar to details of the Bethesda deal. I don’t know the specific conditions though. All I know is that the deal is almost completed, by Spring and it will be announced either end of 2021 or beginning of 2022

>Xbox is in talks with LucasFilm Games with the Star Wars IP. Coalition is one of the studios that is in talks with being tasked with the IP. I don’t know the other though

>Xbox is looking at several PC centric developers for acquisition. Sega was just one publisher, but Xbox is also looking at studios

Most of the games announced are on track for 2021-2022 release date.

>Halo Infinite 2021

>Forza Horizon 5 2021

>WolfenStein 3 is 2021

>Starfield is 2021

2022 is

>Hellblade 2

>Avowed

>Forza Motorsport

>Everwild

>Minecraft project by Mojang. It’s a platformer

------------------------------

I posted this because most of it seems pretty reasonable and not too out there. Seems like a mix of mostly things we know/are heavily rumored along with other things like a MC platformer or new Viva Pinata that hasnt been mentioned much

Seems weird to have playtonic make a Viva Pinata game instead of a Banjo one. Seems like something someone who’s making a fake list of rumours would add to try make the list seem more plausible. Sega being aquired is echoed a lot so I don’t give it too much thought. It’s fun to imagine but i don’t believe this list.

i was the one who made this post and got the 4chan source from this forum lol

So it’s fake then lol!

Honestly, this seems realistic. I’m not saying it will happen, but if someone created a fake rumor, he or she was pretty reasonable.

Is Kojima Production’s a realistic get for Microsoft? I doubt Kojima needs the money and most publishers would line up to work with him so i doubt they need to be aquired. I’d imagine Sony has their eyes on them though.
