That lack of faith though.Good for the workers at Obsidian, but they should brace themselves for the eventual closure in a couple of years (which, I guess, would've happened now without Microsoft?)
Come on now. This isn't EA we're talking about.Good for the workers at Obsidian, but they should brace themselves for the eventual closure in a couple of years (which, I guess, would've happened now without Microsoft?)
There's really no need to explain anything especially after the sales number for PoE2.

It won't. Microsoft has showed that they won't stop games for other consoles that are already in development. Just showed that with We Happy Few and I remember them releasing games on Nintendo platforms back in the day after Rare was acquired.I wonder if console Pillars of Eternity 2 will be xbone exclusive now.
I like that all these aquisistuons get these videos.

Very interesting what Josh Sawyer said. I feel like Microsoft is making all these acquisitions to have a more diverse portfolio on Game Pass and get recurring subscribers more than direct sales.

Microsoft is *just* like EA.
Xbox is finally run by people that like games, so thats helpful. Before they have always been under some other group like Windows. Now, its Phil's show to run with him only answering to the CEO.I really hope that this is true. Historically, they've not shown that they understand the value of a diverse library, but maybe that's changing.

Oh, that's pretty exciting. Can't wait to see what Obsidian will cook up, it's been a while since they've had a big budget to work with.I heard a rumor last year that they're working on an original science fiction property. My recent LinkedIn scouting has turned up suggestive stuff as well.
Chris L'Etoile currently works at Obsidian and has done so since last year. He was the "IP" guy for Mass Effect 1 and 2 who wrote all the codex and much more. He was also credited on Dragon Age Origins as a designer and oddly enough, The Elder Scrolls online. If you need a world built in terms of fiction, he's your guy. Could be a sign that the MS deal for InXile and Obsidian might turn up something greater in scope than their recent games.
I mean they could have kept them around so they could have put out games that still wouldn't convince people here to get a Xbox.Lionhead, Ensemble, FASA Studios, Press Play, BigPark, Digital Anvil, Aces Studio.

Very encouraging video. Obsidian with MS backing could make some great games.
That's very harsh. By all accounts they were probably going to shut down anyway, so at least they have a chance to do something cool now.

Games before the acquisition would have contractual obligations to release on intended platforms. Like how being acquired did not stop Minecraft, Hellblade or We Happy Few being released on other consoles.I wonder if console Pillars of Eternity 2 will be xbone exclusive now.

Between this and the Ninja Theory video, they seem to really be pushing the whole "cross-studio collaboration" thing. Not like full blown joint efforts from entire dev teams, but rather drawing expertise from studio to studio, project to project.
I wonder how the partnership will work as time passes. Hopefully they're not given strict fiscal-year deadlines like EA which is the seed of all rushed RPGs.Oh, that's pretty exciting. Can't wait to see what Obsidian will cook up, it's been a while since they've had a big budget to work with.
Was gonna say the same thing.There's really no need to explain anything especially after the sales number for PoE2.
The song playing in the background is really a non-apologetic rip-off of "Two steps from Hell - Heart of courage" just octave higher and in major dorian scale, if you don't believe me, try to play it on your own instrument, so, Mass Effect 2 follow up incoming? Since that have that OG song in the background. Just saying.
