XboxEra Community Hangout |OT6| New Year, Same Three Topics

So far, Xbox bought companies that got moneyhatted. I’ll say don’t tempt them, Sony. My only advice.

Exactly, if we follow that line, the next is Square Enix. XD

I hope this game is good as it does look cooler than Deathloop to me imo. Nevertheless, I will try them both when they eventually come to Xbox.

and if that isn’t you can bet that MS would steamroll atleast 1 person from BGS. Probably the game director or something. We already saw what they did when a next-gen console didn’t launch with a flagship FPS title.

343I needs a lot of work, probably it’s best to try fix things up before working on next mainline halo game.

getting Certain Affinity in house would also help them with Halo, would be good step.

good thing MS have others big studios so no pressure here on 343I

They had it rough, pretty much everything was riding on Halo Infinite being good. They succeeded for the most part but still have a lot of issues. Now they can rest and they don’t have to be carrying a heavy load for Xbox.

one of 343I problems is the engine, putting expertise from ID Tech on engine would help them, maybe creating Custom ID Tech engine for Halo would be good. there is many possibilities here.

probably Superman (the game got scrapped) https://twitter.com/Alcoholikaust/status/1488937895276818436

English is my third language and even I could see that that was just a typo by reading the rest of the sentence. :+1:

If it’s delayed to 2023, it will be 8 years since Arkham Knight (2015), the time of RDR2. People asking for a WB acquisition, this is their crown jewel technically. XD

nah NR is their crown jewel, imo two games reaching 10M sales (MK 11 and MK 10) is very good

FUUCCKKKKK !! Imma cry now :sob:

I think so too, but fighting games are for a specific niche and within that niche, people like different type of fg (I myself like others much more thank MK). Rocksteady games appeal to a bigger crowd overall. In 2015 anyway, according to wikipedia, both MKX (1st) and B:AK sold more than TW3, incredible if you think about it (licensed games bad XD).

Not rocksteady’s fault tbh . They got 2 of their games cencelled , one of which was well into development ( Damian Wayne Batman Beyond game) . WB is to be blamed here tbh.

Ok, but some form of mismanagement should be looked within Rocksteady too, other WB studios released multiple games in the same timeframe.

Bit random but the one cool thing about MS not being in the TV/Movie space with their own studios is they are free to use Xbox IP on any service like they can go to Netflix to make a Spyro cartoon, DOOM game with HBO and Fallout with Amazon and such.

They won’t be tied down to a single service and can shop around for the right people to make their IP shine. I do think it would be cool for MS to leverage their IP in the TV/Movie space, they have so much IP it could be kinda crazy.
