Xbox Game Studios |OT4| This is for Studio talk. Studios. It's the Studios OT. Studio talk here (Part 1)

Yes. :wink:

Glad that Compulsionā€™s next game is in third person but it still has to be a game that actually interests me to where I want to play it but thatā€™s years away.

Halo Infinite is the one game that im 1000% certain gets released this year. November 12th!!!

If it is a third person action game expect a very meticulous comparison with PS first parties. If it gets less than 90, then it will be considered a failure and Xbox to blame or something.

Good thing that with Game Pass, the classic reviewers might go away as people wonā€™t need to rely on reviews to purchase games.

i donā€™t expect it to be open-world game

I am interested in Inxile project though. Will it be open world RPG?

I need to try We Happy Few again. That said, Compulsion has always struck me as a studio on the cusp of greatness. The creativity is there. The writing sure as hell is there. The art style is there. The gameplay mechanics on paper are great. The issue just seems to lie in execution and polish for them, but Iā€™d argue thatā€™s as much because they are like Hello Games in a way. Incredibly ambitious but punching so far above their weight they end up bruising their hand.

Now that Microsoft is clearly investing a ton, they have time and creative control, I think they could do some truly fantastic stuff. Like, they could be the next Arkane/Irrational/Double Fine.

Thatā€™s fine. I wouldnā€™t mind a linear/wide linear game. I only care if the game is good or better.

Iā€™m interested in InXileā€™s next game as well. They only have one game in development right? Or is it two?

Iā€™m replaying fallout 4 for the first time since itā€™s launch. And while I think itā€™s the weakest BGS game in 20 years, it still highlights to me that star fields launch is going to be a big event. Imagine Microsoft releasing halo, forza horizon 5, and starfield within 3 months of each other.

On a side note Iā€™m hoping thereā€™s some renaming of Bethesda studios. When I say fallout is made by BGS I mean the studio that made Skyrim and fallout, Iā€™m not talking about bethesda as a whole. Also BGS is 3 different studios or 4? I would like to see a distinct name for each. Also Zenimax online should be renamed for obvious reasons.

I always thought it was one, but it sounds like there are two.

(one of which I believe is Fallout, but thats my speculation based on insiderā€™s posts)

It sounds like there is a group that handles Fallout 76, a group doing pre-production (currently working ES), and a group doing full production (Starfield).

I think Iā€™d call that two studios, but probably just semantics.

Okay, cool. I know that their game is a few years out but something to look forward to it down the line.

So Xbox is dadā€¦ ?? :upside_down_face:

Imagine if they launched it before the holiday season release window they currently have. ā€œThereā€™s no more polish to be done, and so, on August 1st, please enjoy Halo Infinite!ā€.

Oh man, playing Horizon 4 again, doing the Video Game themed challenges, and MAN I hope itā€™s not too late for Playground to add SOMETHING Bethesda into Horizon 4.

Iā€™d settle for Car Horns that play the Elder Scrolls theme and E1M1 from Doom.

The original PD Rare ltd inspired Joanna Dark characteristic from different actresses & spy movies but they also tried to match the iconic design for Lara Croft & some sources claimed Rare copy Lara face and pasted for Joanna ā€¦ but didnā€™t find official statement from Rare about those claims.

Back to your questionā€¦ there were some reports about a movie in development for Perfect Dark and in the role of Joanna is Scarlett Johansson. If thatā€™s true, we can expect appearance similar to this :

Personally, I think Joanna will change her appearance couple of times in the game and might saw a couple of inspirations from different real actresses at least on term of the haircut and clothes.

Iā€™m just speculating, but if Iā€™m right, Hopes The Initiative took some inspiration from the Japanese cover which released only in Japan back on the day :arrow_down:
