[Noleen#7811 3]

Phil Spencer has expressed in interviews that he wants to work with AB’s dormant IPs

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/20/xbox-activision-blizzard-phil-spencer/

“We’re hoping that we’ll be able to work with them when the deal closes to make sure we have resources to work on franchises that I love from my childhood, and that the teams really want to get,” Spencer said. “I’m looking forward to these conversations. I really think it’s about adding resources and increasing capability.”

people were talking about starcraft yesterday

like he specifically mentioned it i think

but it's so old and the genre so unpopular idk

[HellboundOrc 2]

More likely under Xbox than anybody else. Xbox was willing to make a XCOM ripoff for Gears of War and fund Josh Sawyer’s idea for an illustrated narrative game (Pentiment)

It's the classic quality vs quantity debate

[HellboundOrc 2]

PS has quality for sure, but it came at the cost of them becoming formulaic. Maybe that’ll change as they start investing into Multiplayer GAAS, starting with the acquisition of Bungie, but right now they’re playing it too safe.

Only two PS IPs I care about currently are Spider-Man and maybe Ghost of Tsushima.

I mean xbox is buying for a reason they can't make games like sony so there buying them

And sony is expanding what they make with bungie and some Chinese developers like lost soul aside and that 3rd person shooter game

10 mill is insane

Arceus got 13 mill by September, so that's after 9 months from release

[-Kye- 9]

Now can they fix it

[Otti#8624 25]

They won't

They are already working on the next pokemon game like usual

Gamefreak just does not get any time in development for these games

[HellboundOrc 2]

Isn’t there a secondary team who’s usually in charge of post-launch support? Or am I thinking of another studio?

[Otti#8624 25]

I think there is

Not sure if they do much of patching or just content

[HellboundOrc 2]

I think they did both for Sword and Shield. Granted, that one wasn’t all busted to hell.

[Sam N 9]

Knowing TPC, I’m sure they have a few teams on standby just for stuff like this

[HuntSD#7607 12]

Seated for Glass Onion
