Writer Joseph Staten is Working on Quantum Break, ReCore and More

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.

christocolus3575d ago

Awesome. Jason Staten is one of the best in the industry. He also has a new halo novel in the works.

jb2273575d ago

Is it not strange to anyone else that such vastly different games from completely different developers 1st & 3rd party are all going to be penned by the same dude? Seems like he is acting more like a script doctor would for film screenwriting, going in and changing games around working off of the devs in house writers' work to make them more cohesive w/in the MS framework. Could be an interesting prospect, could bring some cool cohesion for the entire MS exclusive lineup, or it could end up detrimental by making the stories for vastly different ideas feel very similar. It's all down to the way this will be handled. It almost sounds like a version of Marvel's shared universe creative committee deal, definitely interesting to hear, hope it all turns out some great stories.

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.

supraking9513575d ago

Cool he wrote Destiny....seems hes just gonna write random stuff not focused at all.

Immorals3575d ago

Seems like they dropped his stuff a year before release

Chanogram3575d ago

As proven by recent court documents, it looks like a TON of content (story) was removed from destiny, for whatever reason.

spicelicka3574d ago

He barely got to write it, which is why he left. Whatever he wrote got cut short anyway, everybody knows this by now.

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 🗿.

Cacabunga242d ago

Depends if Sony is still willing to make SP games

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?

Obscure_Observer242d ago

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.

Not as easy as it looks, eh Netflix?

anast242d ago

Netflix probably wanted an AI generated game to be pushed out every two weeks.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

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.

GamerRN463d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit463d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead463d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica462d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL462d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit462d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper462d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica461d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer463d ago

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

S2Killinit463d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer463d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit462d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer463d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183462d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper462d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal463d ago

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.

TwoPicklesGood463d ago

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.

shinoff2183462d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde463d ago

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.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion479d ago

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.

Obscure_Observer479d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion479d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77479d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

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.

mastershredder479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

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

Jingsing479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai479d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
