We can only hope, as the only reason Bethesda gets them is because of mods.

I really want Microsoft to go all in with a big Smash like crossover game for all first party IP. I always felt like Microsoft should do a big open world RPG or maybe even an MMO for a crossover. That or a big crossover shooter like quake champions. Like with Xbox’s identity it’s gotta be a shooter or even better a western RPG. Really a detailed rich western RPG that’s a crossover world and story between all first party games could be so amazing.

Unfortunately, any crossover with ABK titles will have the cloud rights fall under Ubisoft based on the CMA agreement for at least the next 15 years or less. If anything, Xbox will probably use ABK IPs in DLC related content, I doubt they will build a game around it.

I thought Xbox already had a deal in place to buy the cloud rights through Ubisoft? Most ABK games on GP are on cloud gaming. I think it’s only like Diablo and Overwatch that’s not. But I mean honestly, if we’re talking big western RPG crossover I’d have no problem with ABK as dlc or not there. And then they could put other Xbox IP characters into Heroes of the Storm to exert brand synergy that way. Or something. Maybe just do two crossovers. Or maybe just wait the 15 years (13? It’ll be two years since ABK closed October this year). I mean with how long game development is now, they’ll be halfway there by the time whatever game would be finished :sweat_smile:.

Maybe just wait and go balls to the walls with a mega MMORPG built with the cloud and any other tech we’ll have then. Have it explore different hub worlds from each IP and let you make iconic characters companions and whatever.

Not sure Paramount should be allowed to after what they did to the Halo TV Show (and hey, I’ll say my mom really liked it; I think it was fine TV but distinctly not Halo and just using the Halo name for free advertising), but honestly how could you screw up a COD movie? Good lord I just jinxed it didn’t I?

Sonic Racing is fun but something isn’t right with how dim it looks, as if a screen dimmer is enabled. My friend has this too. This is in SDR because there is no HDR.

I do hope the full game has HDR though because with proper HDR these tracks are gonna shine.

In the word of Marcus, NICE!

I thought there were only 5000 concurrent players and it flopped hard ?

If it were anyone I’d rather WB or Amazon buy it. If not those two then after watching F1, Apple wouldn’t be too bad either.

Only their comment is a flop.

Kudos to Xbox. They’re doing a pretty good job marketing wise by taking control and pushing the narrative the console wars are dead.

TIL in Destiny 1: Felwinter peak = Winterfell (from Game of Thrones) backwards. Just a thought that got through my mind right now, 10 years later…

Paramount has new leadership after they got bought by Skydance. They just signed the creators of Stranger Things to make new content exclusively for Paramount. Call of Duty is interesting. I know Satya and the Shareholders are excited.

No wonder streamers work.

That could be costly, but I feel they’re going to pull a fast one.
