That’s the biggest problem with ReCore right now, MS owns the IP but they don’t own Armature (I am not even mentioning Comcept lol). Sure they could make a deal with the studio but it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense to employ an external studio for a 1st party IP when you actually own so many (great) studios, the problem is which studio would even begin to consider working on a sequel like this instead of doing their own thing. It’s a pretty complex situation and it sucks because the IP has a lot of potential. 
Guys, ReCore is dead, they will never reboot a bomb, they don’t even reboot the hits, come on. XD

I don’t think it’s silly to get a 3rd party dev to make 1st party games, they just need to be smart with their contract that they can’t be bought while working on the game or at least gives MS first dibs and buying them.
Nothing is dead if they someone comes up with a good idea for the IP.

It’s dead. The only “unlucky” X1 exclusive which has some chances to return is Ryse for the simple reason it was commercially successfull, MS and Crytek had problems about who would have handled the IP.
Did I miss something did someone come out and confirm this? not sure why you are so certain if that isn’t the case.

Common sense.
Oh ok, well nothing is dead until it’s confirmed dead.

I can’t find a single reason to reboot ReCore, it wasn’t well received by critics nor the public, the main development studios behind it are not owned by Xbox (another layer of complication) and current XGS all have their upcoming projects. Even for speculation sake the odds are very slim.

I’m not saying Recore is coming and it’s being made as we speak, all I was saying was just because they haven’t made one now doesn’t mean it is dead. Any game released in the early to mid part of the generation weren’t funded enough so of course the games fell short. A lot of people actually really liked the setting, characters and the world building of the game, the problems and downsides could’ve been much less if they had time/money.
My point was just because a game was viewed as bad or hasn’t had a new game for a long time, doesn’t mean the IP is completely dead.

I agree with this. I hope Recore stays dead though.

But seriously I think all IP can make a return it just needs a good idea on how to bring it back, I obviously don’t want games to come but just because they can, they gotta be good.

I agree with you many X1 games didn’t have the funding nor the time to shine, but personally I try to think about the odds of each case to speculate about a possibel sequel/reboot/remaigining/etc. These were the biggest unlucky X1 games (I skipped things like Cobalt or Lococycle, etc…they never were games with big expectations in the first place).

KI: very successfull, sequel is a fan request, MS wishes to do it but it has no dev for it;
-
Ryse: commercially successfull, criticised by the press (mainly because it was reworked from a Kinect title in a short time), MS and Crytek had a row about the IP and it went dormant; possible.
-
Crimson Dragon, panned by critics and public, RIP.
-
Sunset Overdrive, owned by Sony. RIP.
-
D4, left unfinished, RIP.
-
Project Spark, shutdown of the game and the studios, RIP.
-
ReCore, already analysed.
-
Super Lucky Tale, Xbox relented exclusivity.
-
Crackdown 3, development hell story, it came and went, I’m 99% sure is dead.
-
Bleeding Edge, they let Ninja Theory finish it, already unsupported. XD

I hope we will have some exciting news or rumours soon. About acquisitions or games.
On the subject of Quick Resume…
The other day I was on Reddit, talking about QR and I mentioned that Psychonauts 2 works fine for me with it. But there was someone who said it didn’t work for him at all. I find this so strange, but it’s not the first time I’m hearing this about a game working for someone and not for the other. How can this be so inconsistent?
Another issue I keep reading is either savefiles going corrupt for some people in some games due to using QR or achievements not unlocking. For now I’ll keep using it for Psychonauts 2 because man, when it works it’s such a fucking good feature but it really does need some proper fixing.
Watched just now video with Skyrim mods
(It is not skyrim anymore LMAO)
I wonder why kind of mods people will come up with for Starfield. Obviously it will be more close to Fallout than Skyrim but I wonder what the new Creation Engine will allow for the modders.
Are all these available for Xbox too? Otherwise no point for me in watching, really. 
I think they require SKSE so PC. I personally always associate TES + modding with PC. Nothing more entertaining than 100GB+ of mods with crashes from time to time.
Ah that’s a bummer. Man I wish Xbox would lift these size restrictions so that we can have the craziest of mods too.
Nah, Xbox won’t do that. Imagine allowing unchecked executables on console.
woah Alanah saw Ken Levine’s game 3 years ago. Sounds like Bioshock is gonna take procedural stuff to the next level.
