Time travel is one of the biggest tropes in all of science fiction; countless movies, comics, shows and novels are based around the subject. But gaming’s left time travel alone for the most part; you’d be hard pressed to find many games about the topic, let alone good games. Luckily, the upcoming Microsoft exclusive Quantum Break is set to fix that.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
I love that the VAST MAJORITY of reviews for this game are overwhelmingly positive...the things like DF saying the game was a Technical Marvel (or something to that effect). However, reviews themselves are just reviews...what's actually convincing me more that the game is amazing is the massive effort we are seeing trying to downplay the game by those that don't WANT it to do well. Those people that keep latching onto the lowest review scores they can find saying "see I knew the game was mediocre at best" ...the more those kinds of people struggle to downplay this title, the more I want to play it on Tuesday...and I already DIGITALLY pre-ordered it.
I'll side with the majority that say the game is excellent for now...and being how much I liked Max Payne and Alan Wake...then hearing how the gameplay for this game is even better...I'm sure I'll love it.
It's truly a shame that it seems this Gen, more than any gen before in my 30+ years of gaming, people go out of their way to downplay stuff that is on the "wrong" console. In the past that existed, but it seemed before the internet being so big people just played what they liked and ignored what they didn't like.
