Title: Microsoft expanded their first party studios
Post by: Legend on Jun 10, 2018, 10:26 PM
Didn't put a number in the title for Pi  :P

New studio in LA
State of Decay devs
Forza Horizon devs
We Happy Few devs
Hellblade devs

What are your thoughts?

Playground seems to be the largest studio by far. They actually have two teams in separate buildings.

expanded for the third time.   maybe third times the charm to have any games actually released instead of just closing studios and canceling the games.

Building up for next gen but I'm sure they'll downsize again if they don't get more success

Playground will be great. Most seem to think MS already owned them.

All the rest are hard to predict.

Great but I mean we don't know how they'll operate under MS.

We literally heard the "5 new studios" thing at the start of the gen. But at least this time we have the names and these studios (except for one) have games under their belt. The issue with MS isn't the number of their first party but their handling of them.

I would say it either will come out and then anything after will be xbox/pc.  Or MS will cancel the ps4 version.

Minecraft already does that.

Would be stupid to cancel an almost finished game

Minecraft already does that.

I recall reading notes for my GUI class in university.  There was a unit on operating systems.  Here's to paraphrase "It takes Microsoft 3 tries of anything to get it right"
