I believe it's because of some rumor started on Reddit or maybe it was actually 4chan? That also claimed Sony had acquired Remedy and Housemarque.
see how friendly competition works for them now!
Even though People Can Fly are private I wonder if them having studios in both New York and England complicates things?
Ddoes this hint at anything specific with all the fonts?
Hmmmmm, interesting. Could these different fonts mean something? Cuz my first thought about two of those were Control and Yakuza lol
Nice. Can't wait to see what games make it. Still hoping for Control which I haven't yet purchased.
All that is really mentioned about them on Wikipedia is...
"The company is mostly known for being the developer and publisher behind the game Imperium Galactic War. Which they acquired in 2017 from Kabam, with the intent of relaunching the title."
This hazzzzzzzzzzz to mean Yakuza among other games, has to, simple as that!!!!!
I was looking through Techland's list of games and nothing in there excites me much. They seem to do a lot of zombie stuff which I'm pretty meh about. Were their recent games pretty well received and creative? It seems like all the studios they've acquired so far like Obsidian, NT, inXile, Double Fine, Compusion etc have put out some pretty creative and original games.
Because during XO they said early next year, I am fairly sure of that. And February still falls under that, March not really I would say. :)
Dying Light is a great game. They've also supported it since the launch in 2015, with free updates, a Expansion (The Following) and multiple modes (also free). When it launched, it received mixed reviews (75% on metacritic), but with The Following Expansion they achieved great reviews (85% Metacritic).
You can say that their games are innovative, since DL introduced Parkour mechanic with RPG elements on a Open World setting, and with DL2 they're going one step beyond this, with player decisions Changing the world drastically. And also, Chris Avellone is one of the leaders on the project, you should watch the 20 minutes long demo they released.

That being said, I don't believe these rumours about their acquisition.
I would imagine the upside-down really is the Stranger Things game that released last year. I think Easy Allies said that it was actually really fun.
Would love for them to bring back Call of Juarez. The last 3 games are backwards compatible but not the first one. Maybe even a remake/remaster of the first one to see how it is received and ensure future generations get to experience the game.
I wouldn't think it'd be that big of a deal. Maybe a couple extra hoops to go through than just a studio in one country, but I wouldn't expect it to be anything too crazy since MS is pretty active in both territories.
Have there been any rumors? I've only seen speculation so far.

Thanks for the info. I skimmed through that video and yeah Dying Light 2 looks very impressive visually. I remember the original reveal of Dying Light but as someone who gets motion sickness from games there was no way I was going to play that so I didn't pay it that much attention.
You all have to stop with all this "console warring" nonsense every other word because someone said something you didn't like.
And what he was saying and what you said here are two different things. I know many that did exactly what he's saying on other sites who definitely treated JRPG's like they were a birthright and held it against MS during the 360 era.
The puzzles are repetitive but serves the mythos and story, the combat is no more repetitive than literally every game in existence. I think you mean, limited.
I don't deny that those people exist, see Astral Chain, but their significance is way overblown. They're certainly not the reason the Xbox hasn't sold well in Japan compared to Playstation, and they're certainly not a reason for Xbox to ignore or give up on Japanese games.
Even if it's Fable, it's likely to be a reboot and damn near a new IP.
Probably but I would rather not have any part of Playground shackled to an IP that MS wilfully pummeled into the ground.
I'm several pages behind in this thread and literally just saw the post from Ging-Sama lol
It really doesn't matter. All that matters is the game stand on it's own and be good to great.
I'am ready for anytype of exploration open world RPG. Atleast we know it's going to be a big game, new tech and beautiful. let's hope the hires pay out, lots of big games influencing.
- the ongoing development of our technology
- strong desire to push the boundaries of technology
- develop world leading AI
- engaging, exciting and innovative gameplay
- a world that's teeming with life and possibilities
- diverse set of characters
- cloth simulation
- entirely new AAA open world action RPG
- Understanding of Photogrammetry
- both baked and dynamic lighting
- departments both internally and externally
- working with outsource vendors
If you think fable Reboot will be cartoonish, you're wrong.
I think this is an example of the type of character we will have in the future Fable. It really looks like the character concept test which leaked a few months ago.
Expect Playground Games to compete with CDRED productions.
I really hope Playground's RPG is Fable IV. Hopefully in a couple decades, we'll all be talking about how excited we are for Fable XV.
I suspect a significant amount of people that are interested in this Fable game by Playground will not have played any Fable games before and/or were never fans or that interested in past Fable games.
Yeah they could drop the redundant Halo segment toward the beginning and then swap out Battletoads + State of Decay, giving three new spots. Everwild, Age of Empires, and anything else (something Obsidian or Psychonauts would be good).
I think that's pretty much what they're doing.
Also I don't mean to be a downer but I don't think it's a slam dunk that their management is fixed or guaranteed to handle this number of studios well, at least at the beginning. I believe them when they talk about creative freedom etc., I just mean in the sense that managing big organizations well is hard and Xbox Studios hasn't been that big until recently. So it may take a bit of time to get things right and it's good for them to slow the pace instead of going nuts adding even more studios (unless a great opportunity presents itself of course).
I think it'll be called "Fable" and also have almost nothing to do with Fable 1-3.
Maybe they could do the western RPG equivalent of Final Fantasy... There's room for many "fables" with a few shared references or mechanics but nothing in common storywise or even in terms of basic gameplay systems.
