Today Microsoft Xbox Games Marketing VP Aaron Greenberg commented on the performance of Tango Gameworks' rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush.
It was announced today that Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, will be shut down, which casts doubt on the future of the game.
I’m sure the support and franchise will live on due to its success. They may even keep some ppl and roll them into other studios. There are layoffs across the map tho in the game/tech industries in general tho including Sony, Facebook and more. My personal family has been affected by them.
Yet MS made a company-wide profit of $22 billion.
In my eyes releasing this on gamepass was a double edged sword approach, received extremely well, but didn't hit w.e batshit insane sales target MS had In mind
have all the people saying m$ buying all those companies, been proved correct yet,
they said more games, more choice, but ended up
less choice, less games, in reality... we were right
They developed the highest rated game Xbox has had as a exclusive in years and they shut them down? Doesn't make much sense.
Hi-Fi Rush for the Nintendo Switch has received a PEGI 12 rating in anticipation of its release. This is even though the game hasn't been officially announced.
I wouldn't play this on Switch, unless it can run at 60fps on it. I don't see that happening. Hope I'm wrong.
"First Hi-Fi Rush and now Beat Slayer, I'm convinced the rhythm-action genre has a ton of potential just waiting to be explored," writes Hanzala from eXputer.
Rare to have hack-and-slash games on consoles nowadays. Hopefully, this team will be able to rival Platimum
Tango game works need to increase the size of their team.
3 dev teams.
Team 1: Horror
Team 2: Hack and Slash
Team 3: Experimental games.
This whole Jeff Grub debacle is so overexaggerated. Based on someone who say something that its seem like....Hi fi rush did meet sales expectations.
Good job Tango even though in rumors it didn't met expectations
The real news isn't this. It's damage control from Microsoft . Hi fi floped. It's everywhere. From GameSpot to Forbes. Microsoft can say whatever they want now. It's already being talk also everywhere in social media.
And I think no one is really surprised.
The purpose of this statement is to respond to Gamespot story that HIFi Rush supposedly failed to meet expectations.
Wow…somebody who works at microsoft complimenting the game
