I know it's petty but I'm sort of hoping this flops so NT can go back to single player stuff.


Everything coming out of these MS studios feels B-tier. I'm worried that this is the price of GamePass - quantity over quality.

Yep. My biggest problem with gamepass is that I think it pushes for more B-tier and/or multiplayer focused stuff from MS. Those big high budget single player games don't fit with the subscription based business model.

They really need to just show the gameplay. With how fun Hellblade combat was, and the intriguing idea of an arena shooter, but with melee weapons, this game could really be something.

But focusing on these characters... ugh. They think they’re Overwatch, where the designs and backstories are loved, and can sustain gameplay-less (a problem in and of itself) teasers. They’re really, really not.

Get to the reason why everyone showed up, guys.

The funny constant I saw today, was they all said this was thier side project where people we having fun with it, and they got green lit to make a game out of it. Sounds like they are all focusing on their big project now.

The unlikable current year character designs will cripple the game out of the gate, a shotgun kneecapping.
The AD is probably some wine slurping liberal (I say that as a Social Democrat) that will put his fellow employees at risk just for maximum virtue signal potential. There's also the icky feeling that we're watching someone's fetishes on public display too.

That is so on point and very similar to what I was thinking but couldn't verbalize. Sick fetishes on display from art directors in 'current year' and Microsoft is hailing this as 'great for gamers'. Who do they expect this to appeal to in the end? No wonder it's Game Pass fodder. Now these 'woke' studios that are part of Microsoft can do whatever they want knowing they are not under pressure to produce good retail sales numbers. It all gets 'laundered' in Game Pass.
 
Ninja Theory managed to produce a video game where all the characters are ugly.

Says a lot about their employees, no? It's almost as if we're 'in current year' and we need to push 'body diversity' to the breaking point.. because we need to smash the patriarchy... or something. SMH Somehow Sony manages to reign in their studios just enough to not offend people TOO badly.
 
This is the game from Ms to rival FF7, Cyberpunk

You mean the two games Xbox is getting??

Anyway, this might not do too bad but it won't be a big hit. But Microsoft already said NT would operate as usual after the buyout so it's clear that MS isn't going to put too much money in that studio. They made the opposite statement for obsidian for example, which I believe based on their track record, MS will actually give a budget to.

Possibly.

I think Spencer/Booty during post/pre meeting for the acquisitions asked to the new devs if they have already something to work,their ideas and concept

How’s the gameplay?
very team heavy. whoever stays in the group wins. healers are OP a good healer you win easily. as far as enjoyment of the melee combat...its ok.
i would prefer if the game had a mode like rocket league and you had to score goals with the balls pass defend ect.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Looks more like a third person moba like paragon rather than the multiplayer melee game with satisfying hit mechanics I hoped for (like a better Anarchy Reigns with more involving modes and systems).
