3D action games aren’t what they used to be, and that’s a good thing. If they never changed, we’d never have Hi-Fi Rush.
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.
This game just poured the charm on. Every character was enjoyable, the gameplay was extremely solid and the story was fun with a very satisfying ending.
Hopefully will get a sequel that can top it
I just completed it. Hi-Fi rush took me back to my early teens during Xbox/PS2/GC-Era when games weren’t afraid to be stylish. The game reminds me of all the good aspects of Ratchet and Clank, Jet Set Radio Future and early 2000s hack-n-slash games and platformers.
I loved the core gameplay, story, visuals and music of Hi-Fi Rush. My only issue with the game is some the rhythmic aspects are overdone when it comes to puzzles and support character prompts. Also, I have very little sense of rhythm and no musical talent whatsoever, so that could of been a reason I had difficulty with some parts of Hi-Fi Rush’s puzzles.
Hi fi rush is a fantastique game, that is a full package of an action game that we have been accustomed to in the post multiplayer era.
The extra modes on the side was a breath of fresh air.
I hope to see more from this IP in the future
We need more HIFI rushes tbh
Agree this was such a fantastic game hopefully it gets a sequel and inspires developers to make different games.
