I can see it already.
but what if the only way MS gets a studio outside of US,Canada and UK is if it was PUBG corp in S.Korea?

If Fallout 76 is not on Steam, GoG... because it was supposed to be exclusive to their launcher, what is it doing on MS store...?

dont really know. Maybe they are gonna try and do some crossplay?
ESO PC isn't on the Windows Store (talking about the app on PC of course) either, but you can buy it on the Microsoft Store as those are physical copies, not digital. Same with Fallout 76. Simply put, this doesn't really mean anything.
If it comes to the Microsoft Store as a digital pre-order this will be a different story.
As for Crossplay, I'm pretty sure that was a no-go because Sony refused. I'm guessing they only thought the work was worth it when all systems had crossplay.

Because Microsoft and Bethesda have a good relationships between each other?
They were acquired because they have a lot of talent, will contribute to the overall lineup and also have an animation studio. Microsoft 1st party sorely needs help on the animation front. I feel like they are 2 generations behind Sony in the animation department.
Not everything Microsoft releases from 1st party needs to be a AAA 3-5 year project. In order to make Game Pass attractive month after month, they need consistent content. Consistent content will mean some smaller games. In fact I'd invite the smaller, riskier niche games.
I think Microsoft's big tent-pole stuff will come from 343, Coalition, Initiative and Playground. I wouldn't mind seeing Rare and Ninja Theory have multiple teams that work on smaller AA games with polished AAA production values.
NT's biggest obstacle was being able to use all their resources on heir own ideas and then getting those ideas published. 80% of what they did was outsource themselves. Now if they do outsource, hopefully it will be assisting other Microsoft studios with animations.
people that think that AAA = quality or that smaller budgeted games can't be as special and incredible as games that have huge investments are, quite simply, really dumb
They already tried to buy Blue Hole, the offer got turned down.
I would assume you're right though. The new map plus maybe War mode becoming a staple and such
Even though we got Cuphead and Ori.
Not to mention INSIDE and Little Nightmares.
People are dumb for dismissing AA games, but it's easy to understand what they mean. They just want Microsoft to get on Sony's level when it comes to big AAA-cinematic adventure games.
This whole discussion won't lead anywhere, since we have no concrete idea about Microsoft and Ninja Theory's plans for the future.
I think we know a bit, but we should give NT (and MS) the benefit of the doubt that they will get the resources to make their mark and realise their vision in whatever way they want too and that hopefully will be great for Xbox and PC gamers.
Its hilarious how people are going so far off track and warping the discussion.
First off, the difference between AA and AAA is not just a letter (wow), it is a game´s budget and the amount of people working on it. With the acquisition by MS, many people wanted to see NT grow and take on much bigger projects.
Next, no one is saying AA games are trash or not worth it. Ive enjoyed many high profile indie games and AA games like Ratchet & Clank, but we are talking about Ninja Theory here specifically. They have taken on AAA projects before and with MSś financial backing we want to see it happen again.
And by that I mean greatly expand any project ideas they have so they arent confined to the limits they faced while independent. In the most basic way of saying it so everyone understands it.... Microsoft should give Ninja Theory a lot more money for the games they make so they can make them bigger and better than ever before.
Just focus on the bold

Microsoft wants to be on Sony´s level too as you can plainly see. But Ninja Theory is definitely a studio that can help them get nearer to the bar Sony has set, especially when it comes to compelling narratives.
We are all just saying that Ninja Theory would be a great studio to make a new flagship Xbox series.
It's almost like EA timed their purchase of the studio after they sent TF2 out to die by releasing it a week after their own larger shooter franchise...
I doubt that major tweet is about them acquiring pubg corp, it's probably something else completely unrelated to any acquisition.
They will be the same as the PC version. They will also be retroactive according to the community manager.
Totally correct. Let's let NT do NT. They've only been part of Xbox for about 35 seconds. Let them do what they want to do, knowing they have more support and aren't going to go bankrupt tomorrow.
As much as I love PUBG (and that's a lot), I don't see the point in buying them. Xbox had PUBG console exclusive during it's peak. I agree it's most likely Sanhok/War and maybe the snow level reveal? Keen for all of them.
i meant crossplay between MS (xbox one or windows 10) and Bethesda LaunsherBecause Microsoft and Bethesda have a good relationships between each other?
if im being honest I dont think 90% of people actually believe its about acquiring them.
like you said its probably something else like the latest map coming to Xbox.
I play it constantly. Most fun I've had in an online shooter probably since Halo 3. Imagine if it was any good
There's no current plans for crossplay for Fallout 76. Evidentially, they didn't want to invest in cross-play unless Sony would have signed in on it.
Could still come in the future, but FO76 being sold on Microsoft's Store doesn't have anything to do with it.
What would you rather have:
ninja has 1 game a year that starts at hellblades size and scope. The games slowly become bigger and bigger. Incremental steps with each release. This starts with a game holiday 2019.
Ninja scrubs all small projects. They immediately start working on AAA titles. With games coming out every 4 years starting in 2022.
I'm picking the first option.
Maybe Ninja Theory wants to use the extra money they can get now on make the multiple medium size project better. We are talking all the time about creative freedom, and how Microsoft needs to give time to studios to make what they want and grow how they want to grow. What's the point on buying a studio to cancel all their current projects and force them to work in a way they don't want to?
The moment NT finds a project that can fit into the AAA scope, Microsoft would be glad of having them all working on a single project.
I just saw this on reddit. It seems Injustice 2 is coming to Game pass (Sale says with game pass). https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/injustice-2/bpkvh4c4xv4n
It could be Amazing if NT made a big game with one Big team. But they made hellblade with a tiny team and it's such an Amazing game then we don't have to worry about the futur quality output even if the game came from a small team.
They are going to get help from other studio from Microsoft , they are still recruiting and the most important things is they Can make a game without worrying !

Just let the studios acquired make whatever fucking games they want.
B b b b b b but I want them to make a big AAA third person narrative driven game just like what Sony does.
How about letting creative people be creative and make the kind of thing they want rather than chasing the competition. This thread sometimes.....

They stated clearly that msft just give em the fund they need to realize their ideas. It is all in the video they published after e3
If those are their ideas and plan and you want to force them to change, then you clearly misunderstood why they were bought
Edit: it seems to be the retail version.

"The only bad thing about Game Pass is that it's almost too good".
I really want to encourage you all to play this game. Outside of it having some technical problems the game is great. The story, characters, world, and artsyle is top notch. Im playing it on Xbox One X and outside of frame rate issues, and some AI bugs I havent been seeing a bunch of technical issues, but it may be worst on XBO/PS4/XBO.S. With the update coming soon though, it will hopefully be fixed.
I know some have been talking about it like a survival game, but ive been playing it more like a stealth game. The Survival stuff seems more like an afterthought as not drinking, eating, and sleeping does not kill you. Loving the game myself. Not a lot of singleplayer only games in the last year or two has held my attention very well, but this one certainly has.
Yeah i've been really enjoying my time with it and only experienced a handful of minor bugs (just graphical glitches) playing on X
woah, do we know how long this will last
I dont have an xbox yet but im thinking of getting it for when I do.
I can redeem whenever right?
Im not sure how long it will last, but you should be able to redeem any time you want.
Hope you enjoy your Xbox if you decide to get it.
I am basically waiting for $200 or under, maybe black friday
for an S
I'm not a dad yet, but I feel the same way. Though I loved Hellblade.
