CG writes: Team Xbox revealed the new game from Tango Gameworks of The Evil Within and more recently Ghostwire Tokyo fame, with the arrival of Hi-Fi Rush. The game offers an action experience in time with the soundtrack making for an extra layer of immersion when combating the game’s mechanical enemies. Whilst it’s not the first game to do this (cue Devil May Cry), it certainly looks the most animated.
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.
lol with those visuals I could run it with my old 1060 gtx, Imo mentioning such an expensive card and with such a game is kinda sad, or not sure what are they trying to demonstrate here.
Looks like a Gravity Rush rip-off.
Love the art direction they went with. It REALLY makes me want a new Jet Set Radio game
