Amidst all the irrelevance and uncertainty, sometimes a gem like Hi-Fi Rush comes along to surprise us. This isn’t the game you’d expect to see on Xbox, feeling more like a forgotten classic for Dreamcast your weird friend who loves anime won’t shut up about. From the outset it establishes itself as bold, charming, rebellious, and bearing hallmarks we have come to never associate with Xbox as a brand. It’s a cool little thing, and we love to see it.
Amid the studio’s shutdown, a Tango Gameworks developer has questioned whether its many awards were not enough for the Xbox management.
I'm sorry but I'm going for cringe *insert madara got betrayed by black zetsu here* but fr tango it's never enough for Microsoft. Microsoft are cannibals imo
You have talent but MS is IP hoarding so only the biggest IP's will survive, a few new ones might slip through but if they don't sell like the big titles like COD or Fallout then bye bye and thanks for the money we'll make from continuing to sell your games.
This is legitimately heartbreaking, you pour all you got into your craft, you're recognized for it, you're successful... Just to be discarded like leftovers
Hopefully they can move on and continue, whether forming their own studio, or getting a job elsewhere. This dev is exactly right.
Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush has received a surge of positive reviews on Steam after the announcement of the studio's shutdown.
I mean.... okay. While I can appreciate the virtue-signaling of it all, this along with the recent Helldivers 2 debacle is only proving that Metacritic scores really can't be trusted and are just something that can be used to manipulate. If a game/movie/etc is not rated solely on its own merit, what good are the reviews to a consumer actually looking to make the best choice in selecting a piece of entertainment?
It's a great game, it shouldn't have taken the studios closure to receive a surge of positive reviews.
Wish we could start a gofundme for the Tango employees, but I have no confidence the money would actually get to them.
That's XBox for you... Promote the shit out of Star field and shadow drop good game like Hi Fi Rush... they simply don't know what is a good game. HI-Fi Rush proved that you don't need huge budget for games, you just need to know what make a game fun.
The games for Humble Choice Bundle for the month of May, 2024, have begun to be revealed, and they include Hi-Fi Rush.
I disagree. Xbox has a few smaller AA games like Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Grounded
Xbox needs some big markee AAA games to drop like ASAP
They have enough Indie/AA games on GP. AAA exclusives are a must.
More rhythm games, yeah just what they need to tilt the balance, it would definitely help halo
Brilliant game loving it!! Best thing iv played since forza 5 on my xbox.
In saying that it's time I finally got to enjoy some AAA bangers on xbox.
