Like just looking back, it seems like Microsoft pretty much banks on JUST Halo, Gears and Forza and I think Fable.(We're talking first party here.)

Why don't M$ allow these nikkas to make different IPS?? Compared to Sony, their 1st party devs aren't stuck on one franchise. Again, we're talking about 1st party studios, not 3rd party deals and or timed exclusives.

Examples:

Their new IP hasn't been revealed yet(Most likely E3 next year)

There's more second party but this is just 1st party so you get the point. The majority of Sony 1st party studios have done or are doing new IPS most of the time. Very few(Santa Monica and Polyphonal Digital) stick to just one IP.

Compared to Microsoft, it's pretty much one dev for Halo, one for Gears and one for Forza and I think Fable??

I think they should branch out to make other games. Besides I think QB, what else?? They've been coasting along with the same IPs for like three generations now.

Halo not even a big deal anymore as it was number 8 on the fukking NPD recently. That's pretty damn crappy compared to Halo last gen sales and hype. I'm not talking about the game's quality just to let some of you sensitive posters know.

That not as talented as Sony IPs. Sony has some talented director and resources because of their movies department etc..not the full reason but one of the reasons

Like I think 343 should take a break with Halo and create a new IP that's completely different. Let Halo rest a while(like 5 years) and then come back later. The Halo and M$ brand strength ain't as big as it was last gen going by the low sales and visible(or invisible) release hype.


The studio that's makin Gears idk, Gears is M$'s best IP imo and I'm curious to see what 4 is looking like. The E3 gameplay was disappointing because it showed nothing but walking and then a short snippet of a monster attacking. They showed a demo that was too derivative of the old Gears.

Forza is forza so I don't see that going anywhere. horizon is a good spin off though.

Besides that idk. Rare making that Sea of thieves game but that's all they got to show after all them year?

Because they are invested too much in sequels which isnt bad but can be repetitive like Halo and Forza has become. Microsoft is at fault for this because they are afraid to change and challenge the gaming market. Sony achieved success because the bought new ips that challenge the gaming market norms Last Of Us is a prime example as Microsoft would of never created a title of that nature. FPS, Shooters and racers is Microsoft selling point but the release of multiple titles in those genres saturated their titles.

On phone shyt might be fukk up.

Spend Saturday nights creating threads about console wars brehs.

:mjlol: at the effort and research and the thought that you put into it
:dwillhuh:
How is this about console wars? I literally copied and pasted those pics from somewhere. Smh @ you thinking i created images to make a thread :mjlol:.

Responses like these are why I smh @ this forum. Post a serious topic and someone asks why you posted online on a Saturday in a gaming forum. Nikkas on here more into creating e-beef and talking about people catchin L's rather than have in depth gaming talk.

what about Quantum Break?

but for the most part MS doesn't have a bunch of "first party studios" like Sony. they have more situations where Microsoft Studios publishes games for independent developers, like with Insomniac and Sunset Overdrive

I mentioned QB.
The thing is I guess they're apprehensive on shaking things up. It's like they don't want to risk a new IP and it flop.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
They should... As a gamer I would like for them too, but MS is probably shook to do so especially when you have sure fire hits with Halo and Gears. Being so behind in the console war I don't see why not at this point though.

Like 2 of those studios are worth a damn

But pretty sure Phil Spencer already said they need to diversify their library. Who cares if its 3rd party or not, you're never going to play Scalebound unless you cop an Xbox
