Update:

 

[geary]

So they have a 1st party XBX/S launch title (and also coming on PC).

 

[Hayabusabruh]

So it will be a day 1 launch? Dang I need to get an xbsx now

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[Mister Wolf]

Big bank take little bank. If its anything like Cuphead dont expect to see it on PS5 until 3 years later if at all.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Nah that can't be what it means. I'm sure HellBlade 2 isn't launching in November.

 

[Esppiral]

Published by MS? There goes my hopes for the game being fully localized to European Spanish, at most we'll get some Mexican translation with a bunch of words and slang I've never heard.....

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Remember when first party meant that a platform-owned studio developed the game?

 

[geary]

They listed there the 1st party titles, but only The Medium is launch title.

 

[Vawn]

It was always like this, right? Published by MS ON Xbox. I doubt they publish the PS5 version, but we will see.

It's still a timed-exclusive unless something else has changed.

 

[Dane]

Couldn't that mean they acquired bloober?

 

[TeKtheSanE]

Is this a launch title? I can't find a release date for the game.

[Bladed Thesis]

The publsiher was previously Bloober Team SA.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Much like how Blair Witch was from Bloober and a timed exclusive, the prevailing thought was this would be more of the same.

 

[AV]

The game has not yet been confirmed as a launch title, for those wondering. The team founder said in September that they were hoping to make the launch date, it hasn't been confirmed yet but it sounds as though it'll be this year regardless.

 

[teezzy]

They need to scoop up Bloober and give them that Microsoft cashflow. The Medium looks too fucking cool tbh.

 

[martino]

does it matter if ms don't own the IP ?

That’s big big news. Also sucks to learn that this also means it won’t show up on PS5. If the series s|x sells as bad as Xbox one, this would be quantum break situation all over again. A gem of a game locked in a console platform that didn’t even have an audience for a game like that.

 

[MiguelItUp]

does it matter if ms don't own the IP ?

Honestly, I didn't think so. It was always an MS exclusive, and it's still that way, haha.

Excited about it coming out next month though!

 

[lastmessiah]

Publisher still listed as Bloober Team here:

 

[Andodalf]

Couldn't that mean they acquired bloober?

Could, But Ori, Tell me why, and flight sim are all listed by non owned studios

 

[Journey]

Remember when first party meant that a platform-owned studio developed the game?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yea, I mean it's not hypocrisy at all to call Wipeout and Syphon Filter Sony first party games. Back when Sony was acquiring studios and become Publishers, it was all fine and dandy, they did the exact same thing, just first.

 

[Bernkastel]

Its a Holiday 2020 title, not a launch title.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Weird list of Games that some have already been released and the rest dont have a release date.....

Did you read? They are just listing their 1st party/published games.

 

[Vasto]

Day 1

Yeah I read lol. Just funny to me

 

[Timberwolf25]

There is almost zero chance that Hellblade 2 launches this November or this year?

 

[Bernkastel]

They just listed first party projects.

 

[GrayChild]

There is almost zero chance that Hellblade 2 launches this November or this year?

There was never a chance for that to happen.

Hell, we're not even sure if that game will make it for 2021.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Well I'm gonna thank MS even more for making it Mexican Spanish because European Spanish is a big yikes for us over here.

 

[reksveks]

Remember when first party meant that a platform-owned studio developed the game?

To be fair, Sony made the same argument on Marvel's Spider-man before their purchase of Insomniac

 

[Timberwolf25]

There was never a chance for that to happen.

Yea, but it's listed in the OP along with Halo Infinite which we know has been delayed.

 

[Esppiral]

Well I'm gonna thank MS even more for making it Mexican Spanish because European Spanish is a big yikes for us over here.

Or you know, they could do like Sony and make a separate dub/translatin for every region.... but MS is very cheap in that regard, Quantum brake just destroyed my ears and "Tell me Why" made me search on the internet what the fuck "manejar un carro" means....

Probably because there have been a shit ton more xbox sold in the Americas than in Spain. Chicken/Egg issue. But I do hope you get the translation you want however.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

That is my argument, restated.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

It's redundant to say that now. Xbox on Windows is just another place to play Xbox games. Games made specifically for Xbox will all be available on PC.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Bloober takeover incoming.

 

[HarryKS]

Not sure if people have actually seen what the game looks like before making too big a deal.

 

[Kataploom]

Published by MS? There goes my hopes for the game being fully localized to European Spanish, at most we'll get some Mexican translation with a bunch of words and slang I've never heard.....

It's fun because, while they do an excellent dubbing job, they tend to fail on localization sometimes with modism and local jokes we in latinamerica just don't get.

BTW, the game was already Xbox/PC exclusive so it's ok I guess.

 

[Reindeer]

They're buying them, aren't they? They probably want the rights to the game to make it a franchise with bigger budget.

 

[Esppiral]

Not sure if people have actually seen what the game looks like before making too big a deal.

The game looks interesting and something new and fresh and that all that matters dude... its not like it looks like a ps3 game....

 

[Mister Wolf]

Not sure if people have actually seen what the game looks like before making too big a deal.

Looks good. I haven't played a game based around traversal and puzzle solving in two simultaneous worlds since Soul Reaver. Dishonered 2 has a level that does it that's really cool but not the whole game.

 

[CatLady]

Couldn't that mean they acquired bloober?

That's my thinking. I've felt and hoped for several months Xbox would acquire Bloober and Asobo. I'd much prefer they pick up these 2 studios that they've done great work with than buying another giant acquisition, especially if that acquisition is Sega. Sega doesn't have anything that interests me. Both of these studios do.

It's great to hear this is a launch game, I'm really looking forward to The Medium.

 

[Mister Wolf]

The only thing I need to see is how she defends herself from ghosts and other beings from the Astral Plane. They already said she can. I'm not interested in games where you just run away. Gotta fight those ghosts like Guts or Danny in Doctor Sleep.

 

[VectorVictor]

Microsoft had something like $120B they repatriated from Ireland to play around with. Why not all three?

 

[Bojanglez]

Was this already confirmed for gamepass day 1? Either way, nice

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Wait wait, MS Flight simulator confirmed for series X???

 

[Sethbacca]

I was excited for this on the initial reveal, then I saw the gameplay. Hard pass.
