I guess Microsoft was pissed that Sony was getting all the bad press.



Really disappointed that Tango Gameworks was closed. Loved The Evil Within franchise and Hi-Fi Rush was also a great game (and there was even an Easter egg for The Evil Within 3 )

I guarantee this is a panic move by MS to shift as many resources as they can towards Fallout games, or even Elder Scrolls. Only reason to close Tango.

It’s a panic move because the walls are closing on Xbox and Gamepass. Also why you saw this “test” of three games on Nintendo and Sony consoles, more will follow.

They want to make money and Xbox and Gamepass just aren’t cutting it.

I was told that GamePass was the Sony and Nintendo killer though.

Gamepass may be killing itself.

I think Obsidian will stay but just become a Fallout factory.

Ninja Theory, yeah no way they will recoup on Hellblade 2.

New Vegas was my favorite fallout game. While I would love to see them work on another Fallout title, or even an Elder Scrolls title, I think they could be so much more. I think I'm one of the few people that enjoyed Alpha Protocol despite its flaws, but if they could refine something like that instead of being under a tight schedule then I really believe they could be the second coming of old school Bioware like many thought that they would be.

Only one delusional poster on here that actually believes that. It's not very good in reality to anyone who has used it.

They're going to get realigned as a BethSoft support studio for Fallout/TES games once Avowed is just a "weak TES knockoff"

Summary:

- Internal debates on whether to put new Call of Duty releases on Game Pass.
- Hellblade II + Gears are another games that Microsoft has been considering for the PS5.
- Also considering increasing the price of Game Pass Ultimate again.
- Focus more on blockbuster games now.
- Xbox console sales are low.
- Gamepass growth is stalling.
- Revenue would be down without Activision.


Fail. Could you fricking imagine if they didnt put new CODs on GP after all the shite the xbox fans talked LMAOOOOO

"this has got to be false. none of this makes sense after spending billions of dollars. who spends billions of dollars on a product and doesn't make it free to a subscriber base afterwards? it's an excellent marketing strategy. and Game Pass subscriptions are up!!!! microsoft is making hand over fist with Game Pass!!!!"


quote:

But Microsoft’s latest earnings showed that Xbox content and services, which includes Game Pass, would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard, and overall gaming revenue would have declined without this giant acquisition. Microsoft CFO Amy Hood is now expecting Xbox hardware revenues to decline again next quarter.

Hi-Fi Rush is 35% off on Xbox, lowest price ever.

I spend most of my time on PC now, but I used to have some cautious optimism that Xbox could turn it around at some point. I don’t really have that optimism anymore. What a clown show.

Avowed is going to be great

They can mine PoE for another few games.

Todd Howard is scared to let Obsidian do another Fallout, because they do it better than him.

this is a horse shite narrative that only internet trolls believe

just listen to recent interviews from Howard, Tim Cain, people from Obsidian that worked on NV, none of this animosity actually exists

and people constantly forget that NV was essentially an expansion, Bethesda did the ground work, Obsidian didn't have to figure out things like shooting mechanics and could put more effort into story and add factions

I was just kidding.

I like Todd Howard, just ribbing the guy

Was fricked up that he didn't let them use The Enclave, though.

Can you imagine The Enclave and the Legion in the same game?

Fighting Fascist "Patriots" on one side, and the "Ultra-Authoritarian Left" on the other

I always saw the legion as Neo-Marxists that are somehow cool with slavery
