And this right there is my problem with microsoft they will buy a whole ass publisher just to milk one game. They won't utilize alot of IP's and basically bought Activision for call of duty. They will minimally utilize the rest of the ip's.
Based off what my guy?

They don’t know how to get them to branch out and make new IPS. For all the studios they have there’s no way they should be in a drought like this. Once Microsoft has Call of duty exclusive to Xbox it will be be downhill for the franchise you watch.

Exactly they are afraid to take risks so they said fukk it let’s buy out already developed franchises not knowing that once they are exclusive the quality wont be nearly as good as when it was multiplat and going to game pass. Look at how trash they handled halo infinite the forza series has been pretty much cut and paste with a few cars added since the third game.

Rare isn't the same rare form the 90s just like square isn't.


Square only recently in the last 3 years has really found it's footing again. There were dropping trash for like a decade and a half outside of FF games.


Let's not act like Sony has some great record of branching out again the Sony people rave over now is fairly recent in development.

Naughty makes jax, tlou and uncharted

Santa Monica gow and twisted metal at one point

Insomniac makes ratchet.

San Diego studios does mlb... And the amazing mark of the kri


Let's not act brand new

Sony created like two dozen new IP last gen though, just off the top of my head

Ghost of tsushima
Dreams
Concrete genie
Horizon zero dawn
Detroit become human
Days Gone
Bloodborne
Astro bot
Etc.

It’s a known fact that sony studio’s get to make any games they want. Microsoft was so attached to Gears and Halo that they went and created entire new studios to continue making them. They are pretty much anti-risk, which is why instead of creating new successful IP they just went out and bought already successful IP

Bruh they’ve dropped Spider-man miles morales, horizon, ratchet, god of war, demon souls, Returnal, and Astros play room. Since they released.

Microsoft has dropped Halo infinite and Forza and has more studios. Make it make sense my nikka.

None of those are publishers.

Rare has had plenty of new IP and is working on a new one right now.

The rest were studios built literally to work on the franchise they are working on. They weren’t “purchased”

Most studios when they have a hit like Halo, Gears or a forza. They stuck with it. That’s how things work.

Don’t understand what “a dozen” is brehs. :mjlol:

Half of those are not sony IP.

Sony themselves ain’t make nothing but sequels all gen except for Horzion and Stushima.

And that’s because thise studios flopped with their last games. Now that they have franchises worth revisiting they will make sequels too.

And no they don’t get to make whatever game they want, sony has canceled plenty of their attempts at new IP.

As usual You stans just make up alternative “facts”

:mjlol:

Microsoft did not have more studios until recently. Game dev takes time. Sony had more games ready up front, but after GOW they don’t really have much coming soon.

And you are forgetting games Like Phsyconauyhts 2 and Deathloop. By microsoft’s newly acquired studios.

Within the next 7 months or so Microsoft will have released ~6 more games to Sonys 1 game in GOW.

What do you say then?

They aren’t developed by Sony.

They are 3rd party deals. If we are doing that, y’all got lots of games to add to microsoft side.:stopitslime:

The only game developed by a 3rd party is Detroit Become Human, and it was co-developed in house at SIE. Those are all sony IP.

But wait, let me hit you with another dose.

  • Knack,
  • The Order 1886
  • Etwined
