i think he meant gaming IPs, probably like Spider Man game deal or just straight up buying the IP

Thatâs what I understood from it.
I think that Japanese devs wouldnât hand their IPs like this, they have too much history to just give it away.
But I could see âdeadâ IPs from EA and other western devs getting bought.

⌠you pay premium too and thatâs fine). But for that, content and quality has to be there. Iâm not in the camp that TLoU 2 and Ghost of Tsushima were perfect games, far from it. Some mechanics in these games are wearing thin imo. And Playstation wonât have the best looking games this time.
Then you have Xbox which offers many games (some day one) for a small fee. I would be a kid today, I would have been over the moon with joy. All those games for one small fee every month ? And people still ask why there is so many people talking about Game Pass. This strategy, this one, should be praised, because this time, MS deserves it, not as some big corpo, but as a company that needed to improve on things and did what they had to do while changing the way we consume video games today. I mean, come onâŚ
Well said.
Personally, I went from the 360 being maybe my favourite console of all time, to dropping Xbox like a hot rock after that disastrous One launch. Bought a PS4 instead & that was me happy for a good couple of years.
The One S brought me back to Xbox. They were saying all the right things by that point & I thought the Master Chief Collection, Gears 4, ReCore, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break & backwards compatibility were all just too good to miss out on. Upgraded to my One X as soon as it launched & I couldnât be happier as a gamer these days.
Xbox deserved heavy criticism for how badly they were messing things up at the beginning of the last generation & they deserve praise for how much work theyâve put in since then to make things right. This generation is going to be very different. Iâm certain of that.

Not sure if anybody has posted Jezâs follow up to his mystery tweet the other week, from Reddit:
Jez Cordens Summary and thoughts on current Xbox rumours
âI recently teased the following on Twitter, using a cyclone emoji. Many took this to mean the Dreamcast logo, Sonic, or Ubisoft, but itâs actually in reference to a game Microsoft is looking to publish with a prominent third-party AAA studio.â
âBeyond that, Iâve been made aware of not one, but at least three additional games being prototyped by Xbox publishing partner studios of a high caliber. None of these are the rumored game Microsoft may be working on with Kojima, either.â
I have a theory about the âconnected worldsâ IP with the cyclone emoji: someone is making a series of games for Xbox based on the Oz books. There are 14 Oz novels, so lots of rich source material there.
I am not an expert on the novels, but I think many of them do not feature Dorothy/Toto - so they are not sequels or prequels to the Wizard of Oz strictly speaking. This would fit my definition of a âconnected world.â

Are you telling me that there is a possibility of rescuing Dead Space?
There is, I think so.
EA will never use it again anyway, might as well just gain some money from it.

It couldâve been a well intentioned joke that came out wrong. Or a reference to how good he thought Ryse was. He couldâve meant it in a hundred different ways. Itâs one tweet from years ago, I wouldnât waste any time thinking about it to be honest.
Cory Barlog seems like an ok dude. Heâs made great games & has praised Xbox titles, most recently when he said that he thought Halo Infinite looked great. I think heâs above console warrior garbage.
Really? He found infinite looking good interesting

Anyone else feeling news deprived this week? I think the last few weeks may have spoiled me and my expectations lol.
It may just be because Iâm stuck with nothing to do at work this week though combined with out of control e3 hype making me hungry for news.
Phenomenal episode. The chances of King saying coming true are actually high, btw.

Itâs the good olâ E3 season. I get the same way when E3 is coming up. Checking news sites every day and resorting to checking the gaming leaks reddit just for some kind of information to satisfy my brain. If thereâs one thing I always enjoyed about E3 itâs that it makes me feel like a kid counting down the days till Christmas

Unreal Engine is trying to make Greenscreens a like of the part with real-time photo realistic backdrops ALA The Mandalorian. No longer are actors in front of green screens, they are in front of giant 4k (possible 8k) screens that display the environments around them in real time.
They use this on the Mandalorian.
If youâve seen this in action - amazing stuff from Unreal there. Real time 3D rendering to take into account camera angle while shooting.

Thanks for the kind words.
As for the Xbox + Metal Gear thing, itâs ACG saying something heâs heard from somebody he trusts thatâs gone 8 for 8 this year so far.
Most likely itâs just Kojima + Xbox Global Publishing.
Sorry about your dog. Sucks.
PS - took a small break from the forum to catch up on some work.

lucasfilm only used unreal engine for season 1 of the mandalorian, they now use an inhouse realtime rendering engine
