My fault. I meant Destiny.

So they're hemorrhaging cash. Got it.

If we end up getting a Fallout 3 and NV remaster out of this, well worth it.

Microsoft gonna be looking like Pac-Man, gobbling up everything in sight!

So hey, Mr Postman, you seem to have a better eye on this than I do...do you know anything about Microsoft Game Studios' "Initiative" studio? I REALLY want to know what that studio is working on. They have made some pretty decent hires.

I don't know. They keep releasing bits and pieces and new hires make tweets talking about how they can't disclose anything about the project.

They made some pretty big hires in August.

There was a rumor that it was going to be an open world rpg type game and other vague stuff that could mean literally anything so I'm totally lost.

Microsoft's intention with The Initiative is to build a Naughty Dog type studio. Stacked with talent with a near limitless budget to build whatever they want.

It's rumored at this point that they're working on a 3rd person Perfect Dark.

I guess that could be cool, but it's hard for me to get up on a shooter game. I'd feel let down if that's what is coming from them.

I hope this doesn't mean Elder Scrolls and Fallout will be xbox exclusives now.
Meh. frick Sony. They made God of War, The Show and Spiderman all exclusives. Xbox has every right to do this, and should.

Microsoft, please take creative and development control for Fallout away from Bethesda and give it to Obsidian where it belongs and demand a New Vegas remaster for summer 2022 and a New Vegas 2 by Holiday 2023.

I thought this was coming to Xbox in 2021?

EDIT: Not sure why the downvote but here is a link to the article confirming the move.

Could see Sony say gloves off and look to purchase take two and maybe Konami.


I'd love to see them purchase Konami. Konami has let their great gaming franchises just flounder.

There was some talk a few months ago about Sony trying to purchase MGS, Silent Hill, and Castlevania, but nothing came of that. Konami itself is doing fine, they just don't care about video games anymore.
