Nah Tomb Raider still sells way more on PS despite the forced attempts to associate it with Xbox. Marketing and temporary exclusives can't really break decades long association.

I think Klob said the Sony studio thing didn't work out. Or he might have said he was pretty sure it didn't work out because it had gone silent.
I know, I was hoping the poor performance of TEW2 would lead to a possible sale
I mean, having double the userbase kinda helps with that too.
Just because something was exclusively associated with something else a long time ago doesn't mean its still that way. I would argue that Tomb Raider didn't seem as closely nit with PS starting with the first game in the reboot trilogy. People only dumped into previous association due to RotTR's timed exclusivity. People also got upset over Dead Rising 4, Street Fighter 5, and (to an extent) Gears Tactics.
We're moving toward an age where these kind of associations will continue to crumble with the allowance of more platforms to play these games on them. It will be interesting to see if these third party exclusivity deals ending up slowing dying off, I truly hope so (unless its necessary for a games creation like Bayonetta 2/3, Titanfall, etc.).
Seems very rare for a company to sale a poor performing studio. Usually they just get closed. Square Enix letting IO interactive go independent is about the closest we have seen to such a scenario in recent times. Tango is still making games (and more importantly seemingly the games they want to make) so I think their publisher treating them well.
In the subject of Tango, TEW2 was fucking amazing and the cg for Ghostwire Tokyo looked SO FUCKING COOL
i really want this game even though i have no idea how it'll be

Everyone's dream is PlayGround Games making Fable IV, but i want a dark fantasy game from them, and i mean really dark fantasy, they know London as the palm of their hand, so...
WERES MY VAN HELSING GAME BABY???
I want something like Bloodborne but with AAAA budget, something like the order 1998 but with a clear vision and really good action mechanics, something like Castlevania but without Konami's BS.
Imagine PlayGod Games making the definitive victorian era game, it would be awesome

What do you guys think, will MS change to built-in batteries in their controllers in the next generation?
I personally don't see a reason why they should but after Elite v2 I'm not so sure anymore...

Good to see them investing this much.Account Executive ( Gaming )

I don't think we're at the "begin to assume" stage, but that doesn't mean I think it isn't true. I think Platinum makes all the sense in the world for both sides.
Part of me wonders if that maybe isn't why we haven't gotten an update on Babylon's Fall or Bayonetta 3 in a long time.
Impending acquisitions haven't stopped devs working on multi plats before
The order 1886s idea was cool but even their execution was limp dicked. The paranormal aspects were weak
Another promotion that won't be available in europe :( I already missed SoT one, and now this.Rockstar Energy Drinks + Chips Ahoy + Doritos (99% possibility)
Gears Marketing lookin good (outside SP trailers)
This sounds more like a job to work with Japanese companies and get more games on the next Xbox than anything to do with Microsoft acquiring a studio.
yeah, it does and we also know that Matt Booty and Phil Spencer are looking to acquire a Japanese dev too.
Integrated battery for sure. I personally prefer being able to quickly lob a couple of AAs in there and never having to worry about charging, but to many others that seems antiquated.
Fuck dark fantasy, there's more than enough of it already. Blue skies forever.
If playground is making fable, I hope they prioritize visuals and change the camera location
Going back to the 'associations' point briefly, I think we should always remember that TR only became 'associated' with Playstation in the first place because Sony moneyhatted TR2 and 3 as console exclusives.
You know, like they also did with SFV.

Shit, ain't that the truth. There's no reason for any built in battery at all. What about when the battery dies? You can't replace it. Please at least keep the option for rechargeables and if not, and they do go with built in, better have it a long battery life then. At least as good as the Wii U or Switch Pro Controller and nowhere near the short life of the DS4.
I think they will, and I wish they wouldn't. Why not just throw a play and charge kit battery in for those who want the inferior internal battery solution?
Heh, the question came to my mind this morning when I've ordered a couple of them + a charger. I really hope I can keep using them come next generation.
While I used Enelops for so long now, it's time to move on. It's 2020. Built in batteries should be the standard. I should not buy a battery for my controller. I should buy a docking station or a wireless charging station like phones nowadays and that's it.
They can make batteries easily replaceable and that's it.
Time to have some "courage" and drop the batteries.

Nonsense. Swapping out the Eneloops that I already have is much more convenient than getting multiple docks for my multiple controllers on my multiple consoles, and keeping all of them plugged in. And again, keeping the current Xbox setup in place, you can choose between one or the other, it's much more flexible.
In an age of pro mouses like the Logitech G Pro, I'd like to see MS go bolder with the Elite 3.
Basic yet durable/luxury, very light, comfy grip, internal battery, no vibration or motion to reduce weight. 60 hours battery life, RGB Xbox logo (can be turned off).
Maybe call it the "Pro" series. I'm surprised that the Elite 2 is still heavy as fuck. The world is moving towards lighter devices.

Good news then! You can still use your Xbox One accessories with Scarlet.
The rest of the world is ready to move on.
Even better news! You're not the rest of the world, so drop the condescending attitude. If there are no improvements to Scarlett controllers, I will gladly continue using my Xbox One gear. Otherwise your suggestion is useless.
Ugh. Sorry, but this sounds horrible.
The reason I love the Elite so much is because it feels so premium, weighty and elegant. I don't need a lightweight RGB thingy. I mean it's not like the Elite feels too heavy or anything. It just feels premium to me.
If I switch to a DualShock or an usual Xbox Controller after a playing session with the Elite, these standard lightweight controllers feel like pure and cheap china plastic to me. And weight is a big reason for that.
That said - each to his own :)

Agreed. I love the heft of the elite controller and I know rumble isn't considered "pro" but it enhances my gaming experience. It feels weird using a controller that doesn't have rumble in the triggers like the XB1 controllers do.
They are going to acquire a Japanese studio, that is not debatable.
The one who buys studios is Klobrille. He wants to see the world burn with one of those studies he mentions.
For REAL though! Come ON already!
Eneloops forever. I don't understand why people are so against these. I hate plugging my controller in every night. I was pretty disappointed that the Elite 2 uses an internal, though I understand they maybe needed packaging space to pack in all the features.
