Looks like green lanterns ring on a piece of broccoli
A relationship between Bungie and Microsoft of first or second part would be something mediately incredible. Phil's tweet answering Bungie is his most favet tweet.Think Bungie would ever want to work with Microsoft again? Not as a 1st party, but moreso 2nd party. Then again, I'm not sure Joe Staten would want to work with them after Destiny.
Jez ain't the best at predicting these things.
Crapdown? Don't do this.
Mine as well buy now while it's still a full house.So if any of he accusations of Randy Pitchford are true, what's the thoughts of Microsoft stepping in and buying him out and putting someone else in charge of the studio. They are based in Texas...a region Klobrille mentioned to keep an eye on.
All the stuff happening at Gearbox has to be embarrassing for the studio and I could see a brain drain of their better developers with all the turmoil surrounding the company. If Randy is the person people are accusing him of being, he's best off selling high (right now).
We YouTube comments now boiz.
Jez also predicted Sea of Thieves would be the PUBG of 2018 (no offense jez, I still think are one the best journalist out there). Also Crapdown really are we 12.
The way they're sending out with so little promotion and fanfare tells me Microsoft thinks the same thing. Hopefully it's solid, but it's out in a month and they still aren't talking about it.Crackdown 3.
I am sure it will. I thought that was the general consensus?
The game will at least survive thanks to GamePass. However, I have a gut feeling it won't be received well at all.
What would make sense for both sides would be to acquire Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal from Square.
Make them a good offer and grab a talented studio doing 1st party Tomb Raider or like games for Microsoft.

EDIT: Not saying the game will do great
Of course it is.

It's best to let Game Pass do the promoting when it's released.The way they're sending out with so little promotion and fanfare tells me Microsoft thinks the same thing. Hopefully it's solid, but it's out in a month and they still aren't talking about it.
Never made a secret out of the fact that I'm a big fan of the franchise.
Some of you are going way to far with the studio acquisition talk at this point.
0% chance. I don't think Staten andO'Donnell want to work with the guys that got them canned. Hell Marty sued Bungie and won, he probably wants to move on from them.Jez said there's a 0.00 chance Bungie and Microsoft get back together.
On another note, Staten has been kind of spinning in the wind at Microsoft relegated to projects like Recore. Hoberman and O'Donnell have their own small studios. What's the chances of getting the band back together for a new IP. They were able to perform magic once.
When you look at where Destiny doesn't stack up to the original Halo's, it's the cohesive world building, music and sandbox. Might be why the 800 employee behemoth can't recapture the magic.
Microsoft had multiple studios work on Crackdown so the strategy wouldn't be unheard of. Why it may work here is these guys worked together before.
"That guy who was accused of being a pedophile, if it's true they should grab their studio." Like... really?This is the thread for that type of talk. What's "way too far" with what I said?
I don't unde

Possibly. CA have worked with 343 before, Staten obviously works for MS, and Marty has always said he'd be willing to partner with them again if asked. So they have no issues working with Microsoft. If the opportunity came, and all parties were free, it'd be pretty neat.I didn't communicate that properly. I didn't mean get them back with Bungie. I meant group those 3 together without Bungie. If Certain Affinity keeps growing, maybe it's something developed by them.
You don't see whats wrong with paying off a potential pedophile, taking advantage of a disgusting situation to play executive on MS's shopping list? MS isn't going to touch that situation with a ten foot pole at arm length, T2 who is their publishing partner will have to negotiate that fucking mess if it's true. You don't jump at that sort of situation, at most you put a feeler out to grab talent or set up a team nearby. Plus some of his management appear to have known about it, it's not just Randy. I thinks it's a pretty distasteful conversation for this thread, I don't think thats a weird opinion at all.I've brought up Gearbox before and people here said "no" because Randy is shit. If Randy has to sell off, leave the business and go far away, you'd let a decently large studio of people go under because they were tainted by who could be their former boss? I don't think it's gross to speculate who'd lead that studio if Randy is going away. What Randy potentially did is gross and evil. Not the rest of those employees.
FYI, accused =/= guilty. Until there's proof, he's as innocent as anyone else.You don't see whats wrong with paying off a potential pedophile, taking advantage of a disgusting situation to play executive on MS's shopping list?

I say that in my post? "potential" "if it's true"FYI, accused =/= guilty. Until there's proof, he's as innocent as anyone else.
But you're acting like just because it might be true, that Microsoft shouldn't negotiate something at all.
What did you even read my posts?But you're acting like just because it might be true, that Microsoft shouldn't negotiate something at all.
In the end it wouldn't matter if it's true or not. Microsoft would have a AAA studio pretty much handed to them in a significant area, and Randy would be out of their hair.
Read it again then.
Yup. Seems like "innocent until proven guilty" has been lost.FYI, accused =/= guilty. Until there's proof, he's as innocent as anyone else.

I wouldn't mind them picking up IO Interactive, it seems pretty shitty what WB is making them do with Hitman 2 being released all upfront and $60 for the HD collection.
I'm guessing, but probably because he's a huge fan of those games and doesn't own them digitally or he just became a fan of them playing Horizon 4 and wants to play the first two.
