Microsoft Studios |OT2| The Best Is Yet To Come

I can see NT solely focusing on pure action games, while the Initiative will be closer to Tomb Raider games.
Good at least they should start early for their next game
Are we assuming that Rare is even close to showing their next project? Seems early. Though honestly I was surprised to see Gears 5 look so finished and releasing before Halo so anything can happen. I just don't think they will announce their next game like Sea of Thieves. It will likely be much closer to release
Spencer did say in the GB interview that they didn't have to show everything so It's possible they could have enough for a gamescom show.
I've been increasingly keen on buying a Switch lately. But the irony with getting older is I now have the cash to buy more consoles but no where near enough time. So I decided to scratch that itch by buying Rare Replay on sale (something I've been meaning to buy forever and just never pulled the trigger).
Dear god BK is so good. I will never understand why they have gone so long without making a new true-BK. Like N&B was what it was, but surely Microsoft bought Rare because of its reputation with games like BK and its IP. It would make so much sense as a next-gen launch title. I'm not saying it'd be something to compete with Mario, but I'm not saying it wouldn't be either.

That is the true dilemma. Exact reason why I have held off on a switch thus far despite owning a few games I picked up more than half off. I also barely touched my 3DS backlog over the years due to how limited my time has become.
Phil said they started their next project as soon as they were done with hellblade.
I don't want to take this too OT but I do have to say the Switch is very helpful for the "not enough time" problem as it can be played literally anywhere.
I don't think invest 100+ hours and beat Zelda if it's on a home console. Simply having the ability to play in my commute, or we'll my wife wants to watch a show or in bed made it all possible.
yes i hear him say that at Gaintbomb
and Sure it's Next-gen Project
Oh I bet. My younger brother has one and it was one of the reasons I loved my vita, especially remote play from my PS4 when out and about. I even demonstrated this to execs at Xbox and asked why I couldn't play my Xbox library on the go yet lol.
Now it's mostly my laptop, since that doesn't hog the tv screen when others want to watch and I can stream Xbox games (ones without native pc support) to it which works great for casual play while watching things on Tv with others.
CD Keys will send the Code for Gears 5 before 31 March
Does this Mean it will release In the First quarter of 2019? Or what this really mean
It's a placeholder date, no way Gears 5 releases before fall 2019 (at the earliest).
shouldn't be the placeholder 31 Decmber?
i still think Gears Maybe Going to release in the first four months of next year (Jan to May) Same with SOT And SOD2
I really can't wait to see what they are all working on.
That be crazy. Gears 4 had at least 2 full gameplay trailers at E3. It seems the game is still early and it def needs a home run presentation at E3 2019 before release.
It really does seem perfect for that, but my commute time is already over committed with listening to podcasts and trying to read a damn book once in a while.
So MS really try to buy Bioware Before EA bought Them!
So why People Said that MS let go without buy them?

Honestly, Yooka-Laylee's tepid launch kinda puts a damper on that genre since that game was good and still didn't do that well. Some genres just come and go, and I think the 3D platforming collectathon is one of them. It's probably for the best to let Rare go out and make stuff like SoT.
It's not 2008 anymore, AAA sequels don't come out in two years from a company with less than 300 employees. The Coalition is incredibly efficient but even they need time to make a Gears game removed from the original formula and Microsoft's Q1/Q2 are probably already stacked with Crackdown 3, Ori 2 and Gears Tactics/Battletoads.

The games will be cross compatible, 2020 is a ways out, so you can always trade in/sell if you absolutely have to play at the best performance.
X is an amazing device, best console I've owned in many years. Failing that PC is a very viable option.
Yeah that's a fair point. I think something Nintendo has managed to do so well with Mario is take the character and game but move it forward.
I think you are right if they just made BK but with current graphics it wouldn't do that great. But if they found a way to evolve the game into something more modern, then I think there is potential. (I know that's kind of what Nuts and Bolts was, but it was a bit too much of a departure).
It's great hardware but it has almost no games or upcoming games I want to play that are exclusive
Any chance Playground is reusing the tech and assets from Fable Legends? I imagine it will still be on Unreal at least.
Maybe you should stop caring about exclusives? There will be other great 3rd party games on top of exclusives. If you want to play the best console version of games. OneX is the way to go
Splash Damage always has open positions for their Gears team. They have a multi-year, multi-titles deal - similiar to Undead Labs before the acquisition. Most won't know this, but Gears Tactics is already the third Gears project they are working on. They will keep helping The Coalition working on the franchise in the future. Gears Tactics is their first Gears game where they are the main dev. Should turn out great.Splash damage has listed a new Job For Gears Of war

Should we expect an acquisition then? I can totally see Microsoft buying Splash Damage. It makes sense.
The situation here is a bit more complicated though, as Splash Damage is already owned by the chinese investor corporation Radius Maxima. This isn't a complete K.O. criteria, however, this clearly makes an acquisition more complicated and more expensive.
In addition I dont know if it makes sense to get another UK studio, as they already have three now (technically 4 with the second Playground Games studio). At some point it's too much for a certain location and you can't find new talent anymore.
Splash Damage has never made an RTS/XCOM game before, will be interesting to see how Gears Tactics goes.
I already have a PS4 Pro so I don't feel the upgrade is significant enough without exclusives to help justify it.
Microsoft don't have a studio in the south of England anymore though. They mentioned splitting the talent pool and taking it away from Seattle, Rare are in twycross in Leicestershire, ninja theory are Cambridge and playground in leamington spa I think?
Lionhead were in Guildford but they're gone, I don't think splash damage will happen but locale wise ms are bunched in the midlands and have nothing in the south.
Iirc Splash Damage are in Bromley in London, which could be attractive (I'm not going to count lift London as they're not Xbox) as it will a popular location for a lot of people
I really don't understand the hate Brink got.
I thought it was great. Incredibly underrated title.
Yep. I think Compulsion is actually a good candidate for exponential growth 1 or 2 project cycles from now. It could become a legit AAA studio given it can draw from Montreal's talent pool. Same for The Initiative in Santa Monica, of course, but that's already in the cards. I wonder if Darrell Gallagher is planning to bring over keys folks from Activision the restriction clause he likely had in his contract is up.
Agreed. Loved the mobility, gunplay was fun. All the early tech issues doomed it but a rebirth of the game could be massive. Perfect title for some GaaS goodness.
Gears will be Fall, with Battletoads in Summer at the latest. That's how I see it playing out.
Battletoads is a 2D game, I don't see it following Gears 5. Maybe I'm wrong, but releasing something like Battletoads during a busy Fall/Holiday season doesn't make sense to me.
Probably not. Whos to say the game will have even the same art style or vibe to it. For all we know it could be a completely different game just with the Fable name attached to it
Do y'all think it's too soon for Hellblade to be announced as July's surprise GamePass game?
It released a few months ago and I think people would be upset for it to come to GP so soon.
I think it would be a great addition to the service though.
