Let me guess cringe twitter console warriors were trying to start something that was nothing and have egg on their face? Would TI even have a social media person.
Head of studio doesn't even follow The Initiative account lmao.
He does follow Crystal Dynamics though.
Damn he must hate working there and hates the studio, The Initiative is D00OM3D.
Nah that's not how it works, if the game launches and it's a dud then maybe but we have no clue how good the game is, just because staff left the company doesn't mean the direction is bad, awful and is a mess.
Steve Ballmer offers a scorecard on Microsoft’s big acquisitions, and revisits his own legacy as CEO
It’s 2022, and Microsoft’s cloud business is on track to become half of its overall revenue. Big investments in Xbox and video games, over two decades, have positioned Microsoft to… Read Morewww.geekwire.com
Interesting talk with ex MS CEO Steve Ballmer regarding acquisitions.
Thanks to Dinkeytom at XboxEra.
They were always only following Crystal Dynamics since they created their account.
I think what is happening at the Initiative is a reasonably big deal, but I don't think using twitter followers or lack thereof is proof of anything :P
Yup TI is likely World edge type of studios now.
They can continue to supervise Perfect Dark and build their next thing.
Unless CD becomes XGS before this game releases, which if its really years away is totally possible :P
Whelp I will leave 343 and The initiative as studios I don't have faith in currently. Sounds like a lot of turmoil going on for a new studio. It sucks but I don't think it's fair to extrapolate that to all Xbox studios they've built. The Coalition In particular is in much better shape than 343 or The initiative. Additionally, not all studios make it. It sucks but The initiative is clearly having troubles. At the end of the day it is one of Microsoft's 30+ studios.having problems and while it's unfortunate is not indictive of wide spread problems.
.... Seriously where is Tunic.
.... Seriously where is Tunic.
and that's great. now MS needs to bring CD into the fold.
Bet that's for project mara. Small space...we've seen a little with how detailed they're getting with fabrics and kitchen sinks. And how the apartment already looks ultra realistic.
Maybe today they're going to announce that it's coming to Game Pass.
I'm not sure what that first tweet is about. Assuming the Acti deal goes through it's extremely likely they can drop a AAA game per quarter.
That Kyle Martin guy can't be serious right? When the Activision deal goes through, Game Pass will be getting AT LEAST a AAA game every quarter, if not more. That was already the goal BEFORE Xbox acquired Activision, so I gotta believe that's more than accelerated after.
Activision or at least Blizzard are struggling to ship/maintain Overwatch, Diablo and WoW.
That guy on Twitter probably reading the "MS being lenient" part and wondering if they can truly manage ABK.
Yeah theyre not going to be able to be hands off with ABK. The entire management needs throwing out there and I imagine if they just leave them to it itll be chaos.
Hmm…that would be weird. Why wouldn't they just announce it with the other drops this week (if it's true)?
Just feels like CD is going to be absorbed and be the PD studio, with The Initiative perhaps being scaled down to become something of a lighter department based on pre prod work? Seems like CD are melding well within this new setup.
From what I understand, the hands-off approach would continue and ActBlizz will maintain their publishing just as Bethesda did, and Xbox will thus have a third arm along with Xbox Game Publishing and Bethesda. With the additional financial support and more time/fewer deadlines, I'm hoping this bodes well for them as it did for other studios Xbox has acquired (Psychonauts 2 immediately comes to mind).
Yeah I could totally see that. If CD is going to work on PD for a few years, I have to imagine Xbox will definitely talk to Square about getting them. Not sure if Square would be willing to give up any IPs though.
Would be happy if it was, but I doubt it would be Tunic. Maybe some new games announced today that will shadow drop after the event?
Isn't Tunic the prime candidate for a surprise Game Pass drop today? As far as I can tell the game releases today but there's still no pricing info. Definitely seems to be something weird going on with that game. There isn't even a store page for it yet.
Don't think they would confirm just last week that it isn't a Game Pass game if it was a surprise drop. They would just be quiet.
Not long to wait now, but I'll be surprised if it's not a Game Pass surprise. Either that or something is wrong with the game, because the silence makes no sense.
There is nothing wrong with the game. lol
This is making me remeber all of the Kena stuff.
I dunno about that. It's an Xbox exclusive that had a decent amount of hype behind it that's just quietly being released. Reminds me of the Crossfire situation.
backgrounds! traits! random comets! Inject it all into me! Space Western here I come
Also, that interaction described with the pirates of working with them, but reporting to the cops and being under cover is so damn cool
