Xbox Game Studios |OT6| But wait, there's MORE....studios

Why wouldnt they develop mobile internally?

They never did, moreover they are generally bad on their mobile endeavours. XD

Anyway, we’ll see, it’s only a personal feeling, maybe after Mighy Doom they’ll do another franchise spin-off. Coinvidentally this Doom game will be their first under Bethesda (and now MS), the previous two were done independently.

So basically Microsoft is just keeping the ZeniMax name around even though they don’t have to?

If anything, a team that makes mobile games could probably easily transition into making “E-rated” games.

They are keeping Zenimax because it’s still a huge global company with thousands of employees, so it’s not like a on/off switch organisation-wise. We’ll see in 2-3 years if they’ll keep only the Bethesda name (that one isn’t going away) without the Zenimax placeholder.

We’ll see, I honesty think they wouldn’t have acquired AlphaDog in a vacuum, it was in the Zenimax package.

They 100% would not have. But it’s a 12 person studio who hasn’t released much. There isn’t much to sell off.

I don’t see MS getting rid of anyone capable of making games, mobile or console.

In the past they simply spun-off small teams like Twisted Pixels or others, or simply consolidated into the larger Xbox organisation. I think it’s a likely outcome after they’ll release Mighty Doom and some time has passed to not spark doom and gloom reactions, lol. Anyway, we’ll see, it’s my personal take, at least I’m not saying they should cancel their game or that they are doomed because of…XD

They could do neat little companion games, like Fallout Shelter etc. to go alongside the big games. Maybe a Halo mobile thing?

Yeah, I can see them being merged into a larger team.

Shit, sign me up for all of this.

Xbox has so many studios and projects in the works they can easily do something like this. If a anniversary show is gonna happen they’d have to announce that between now and sometime October. 20 years of Xbox, that’s a long time, it shouldn’t just be simple tweet and done, should be celebrated with some great new upcoming content.

No there is a legal reason and liability probably comes into the equation.

It’s crazy how amazing Crysis 3 looks in its full glory. Saw a comparison pic the other day of TLOU Part 2 and C3 and…I think C3 took the cake.

I am not a huge fan of Crytek gameplay, but boy do they know their tech.

Facts I love the crysis games but I’m holding off on these remasters until I see If this trilogy remasters are any good after what happened last year

Gentlemen.
