lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea
MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
Likely to continue their FPS project
Nice ... we eatin' good
:)
which inspired the Deathloop idea
Oh yeah ... since Gears 5 was getting so many updates, the game's still felt fresh in my mind ... but the latter part of my above comment still stands ... they could've leveraged their UE expertise and the UE5 hype to create something original of their own for atleast once than continue again with another entry in the same'ol IP handed down to them from Epic Games.
Just look at the Matrix demo they were involved in ... they can cook up something cool and different
sell a 5 bucks cheaper version without the multiplayer mode
I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?

Well hypothetically speaking, Ninja Theory can be sold to Sony at a lower rate sans the Hellblade IP.
Sony can then welcome them to work on the Heavenly Sword IP, which they still own.
Will be a nice proposition for Sony who can continue to offer a God of War-like hack n slash in their portfolio via Heavenly Sword 2, whilst Cory Barlog & co. decides to take a break from the God of War IP & venture some other genres.
On top of that, Nin...
That huge Acti-Blizz acquisition wasn't worth it ... They should've stopped at Zenimax and instead focused "rescuing" individual studios like Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, Crytek, Volition or Gearbox etc (much better than trying to devour the whole of one of the largest gaming publisher)
IMHO, with no $70 Billion deficit, these studio closures would not have happened ...
better sell than close
What Henderson has leaked so far is that ... even though the dev size's large, they are playing safe this time,
so I am guessing big budgeted BF3 2.0 ... fingers crossed
Unrelated but since there's a shortage of devs to make Fallout content ... MS could've asked Tango or Austin or both to make a new Fallout game (doesn't have to be a full-blown RPG) ... fans would've gobbled it up after watching Prime's FO season 2 ... and it would've been a nice experiment to check the feasibility of having Fallout venture into non-RPG genres (like it was done before during Interplay days).
This is what I would've guessed/suggested from p...
Just make another Battlefield 2 ... or BadCompany 3 ... EA

Because Prey was creative and different
Other than the live service Redfall, all other single-player Arkane projects have been creative and interesting
Yea Austin made one of the most creative game of last gen with Prey and were forced to take risk with Redfall and now the whole studio is being closed.
better late than never
