New Dishonored cancelled, my day is ruined. FU Xbox leadership

 

[xrnzaaas]

They closed the studios with the records for the lowest and highest scoring MS game of 2023, makes sense guys.

Here we go again..... Hi FI Rush 2 would have been the game to make people go to XBox and would have been a massive seller even though the 1st game like GhostWire flopped on all systems
Gutted the studio wasn't given the chance to make a new AAA game or a sequel to Evil Within mind

 

[stickkidsam]

I was gonna buy HiFi Rush but now....I mean am just giving money to MS.
how does that work?

PlayStation is the only way

Turns out the sequel to HiFi Rush was Welfare Rush.

More proof that Microsoft's purchase of AKB and Bethesda is a huge net negative for the industry.

Consolidation helps nobody.

Not as bothered about Arkane Austin since they just made a complete turd in Redfall, and they were not the studio behind any of the previous Dishonored games

They made fuckin Prey dude which is arguably their best work. They had a hand in Dishonored 2 as well.

Ehhh, they did do Prey but as soon as it was done the co-founder of the studio, and game director for Prey, left Arkane Austin. I'm just not sure they had the leadership they needed at that point, and the proof was in Redfall. Only thing that game had going for it was it's vibe, otherwise it was nowhere close to the same level as Prey. I hate seeing studios close, but I'm not as concerned about studios that are putting out average or even bad games.

"HI FI Rush? What's that some kind of music game, don't you know that genre is dead?" - Some Microsoft exec, probably.

I hope the crowd boos them at their next event.

The Eurogamer article points out how Lionhead were shutdown because they were about to start making Fable 4, a single player game after finishing up Fable Legends, a F2P game MS leadership had forced upon them.

It's no surprise that Arkhane wanting to go back to Dishonored or Prey and Tango wanting to make another single player is what broke the camel's back. MS doesnt want their developers to make those games. They are always chasing the next billion dollar franchise. it's why they bought bethesda and activision.

 

[March Climber]

I hope the crowd boos them at their next event.

Will it be a digital event?

 

[DonF]

Arkane i can sort of understand, but tango is a tragedy

this is the sentiment of the whole industry right now. not even good games can save you as a studio.

 

[TGO]

Ironic that Tameem Antoniades had now left.... maybe he knows what's coming...
