Xbox is back

Outer Worlds isn't exclusive and has nothing to do with Microsoft or their acquisition of the company making it.

>Acquire a bunch of irrelevant, talentless studios
>WE BACK GAIZ!

Does Phil have gyno?

You're telling me they acquired the guys who made the smash PS3 hit Unfinished Swan?

Chalk one up for Microsoft, major victory

Outer Worlds isn't an Xbox exclusive, and its PS4 version will vastly outsell it on Xbox, you dummy.

It destroys the "Microsoft is only buying dead studios" argument.

Most of those companies are kinda has-beens these days though.

Double Fine made Psychonauts once and that was it.

IO Interactive - Hitman games never sold well under Square Enix, neither did Hitman 2.

Don't see how any of this will move the needle for Xbox or Microsoft even. Sony won't be sweating by any of this for sure.

Obsidian is dead though. When Outer Worlds releases and exposes Obsidian, everyone will finally realize that modern Obsidian is trash.

please stop acquiring studios to just kill them and then proceed to have fun with your games, thank you

>Double Fine
Double Fine has a horrible reputation for delivering late, underperforming products. Why would MS want them?

>Relic
If the new Age of Empires game does well I could see this maybe happenin.

>only thinking in the short term
Obsidian owns the Outer Worlds IP, which means Microsoft now owns it. Outer Worlds 2 will be exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. This is only the beginning of Phil's domination plan.

The guys that made overpriced headphones?
>IO
Prob need the money after last hitman
>Double Fine
Who cares
>Relic
What have they dont recently?
>Giant Sparrow
literally who

yeah but isn't Obsidian shit?

Relic is owned by Sega.

Yeah but DoW 3 bombed hard. Imagine picking up a studio for the first game they make under you to suck so much ass you abandon supporting it fairly quickly after launch. If Relic is still making AoE4 then its not insane to think Microsoft will buy them to get even more control.

Phil Spencer is pretty good ain't he, can't put a competent person in charge of a studio to direct a single good game and just constantly buys studios making exclusives, all while championing cross platform.

He gets off so easy just because he wears t-shirts and agrees to go on the giantbomb show.

>He gets off so easy just because he wears t-shirts and agrees to go on the giantbomb show.
I'm guessing it's those massive tidides of his.

>The guys that made overpriced headphones?
no the left 4 dead devs

Relic was owned by THQ before SEGA bought them

Halo 5 has been supported very well over the gen user. Also don't forget SSOD came out before BB even and Titanfall probably wouldn't have been dead today if it was multiplat but instead there are literally zero good shooters for the thing. Really the xbone has had a pretty good library overall.

Reminder all these xbox fags are just Nintendo fags and pc fats hiding behind the guise of xbox fans to avoid all criticism of their preferred platform

If Sony allows the Xbox app to be on Playstation then it'll be there

PC aside, Xbox doesn't have many good games to warrant to purchase these days. I'm unironically more interested in the controllers.

sony didnt even allow ea access lel

You think Games Workshop will let Relic touch their IP again?

I'd rage so hard if they snatched IO Interactive. I hope they stay independant and just get Hitman Games done with WB.

Oh I see Xbox still breathing. Guess I didnt worked hard enough

why are they buying so many random studios yet still don't have worthwhile exclusives

>He doesn't want Freedom Fighters 2 or Kane and Lynch 3

>I'd rage so hard if they snatched IO Interactive
they wont. IO done a shitload to stand on their own and now its paying off

Back to buying shitty nobody studios?

learn english

do the needful

>turtle rock
Wasn't this already acquired by them?

Didn't Turtle Rock go bust after Evolve was one of the many blunders of the century?

Microsoft guarantee might
If not they could get someone else to do it
I highly doubt DoW3 and SM had the same teams

But Microsoft is giving these devs blank checks with no restrictions and unlimited time.

>caring about microsoft games
>implying they don't ruin games faster than EA while making less money for it
Jesus christ, what an inhuman mongrel.

yeah man look at this trash no one cares about what a bad decision of ms to buy them!!!

>Nintendo and Sony continue to take a massive dump on them because quality is better than quantity
Why do Nintenfags constantly forget about the WiiU?

no money in the world will turn any of those studios into one's that can produce system sellers. keep the competent people, form new studios under new names and fire the rest.

Wow one example, hang yourself

Time is something they don't have. Microsoft's track record is terrible, and they need more than one game to prove that they're even somewhat competent.
>Halo is a shell of its former self. 343 has no idea what to do with the franchise
>Sea of Thieves had no content and was streamer-bait garbage
>Gears 5 is trying too hard to be Microsoft's answer to Last of Us
>Crackdown 3 took 5 years and went from being touted as a major tech breakthrough to being shat onto Game Pass with little fanfare
