SegmentNext - Previously at Bungie and now a writer for Microsoft Studios, Joseph Staten, has revealed that he is working on Quantum Break, ReCore, Crackdown and more games.
The SoCal studio boasted senior veterans from Halo, God of War and Overwatch
Thinking about Rafael Grassetti, former Sony Santa Monica art director left them to join Netflix and now the studio has shut down.
Come back to mama Sony, you shouldn't have left in the first place 🗿.
I think veterens should just form an indie studio instead of going all out AAA on their first game in a AAA studio they formed. The thing is, is that they have little to no experience with working with eachother which leads to issues like heads butting into eachother, long dev time, excess costs etc and that's why so many of these projects/studios fail. Oh and why netflix?
Good
We want Joseph Staten back on Halo!
Google and Netflix are such spineless companies. The moment they realized how expensive is to develop a AAA game, they quickly dropped.
Pretty sure that Jade Raymond´s Fairgame$ is that Stadia canceled game.
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
Awesome. Jason Staten is one of the best in the industry. He also has a new halo novel in the works.
Gotta be seeing more of Recore soon if it's a spring game. and by "more of", I mean "any of".
I have big ideas and expectations for it. A post-apocalyptic open world TPS with companions and the art style from the trailer would be outstanding if MS' applies their AAA quality control to it.
and if not open world, then instead a robust online multiplayer PVP mode.
Cool he wrote Destiny....seems hes just gonna write random stuff not focused at all.
