Crystal Dynamics and Embracer Group shared that the Tomb Raider brand has stayed strong and sold 88 million units since its inception in 1996.
Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.
Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.
They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?
Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.
I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.
I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).
It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.
Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.
This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.
The VP of Marketing at Boosteroid revealed that the company is in talks with major publishers to secure exclusive games on the service.
So they're adding Skull and Bones to their service? That doesn't seem exciting at all lol.
Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.
RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.
The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
I find it shocking that Square-Enix is selling two studio (Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal) , Deus Ex, Tomb Raider and other game IPs for only 300 million. You would think Tomb Raider alone would be worth hundreds of millions. The franchise is iconic and has lifetime sales of 88 million.
Gears of War in 2014 sold to MS for a rumoured $ 80-100 million. You could argue that from 2006-2013 Gears of War was more successful than the recent Tomb Raider titles (2013-2018). However,I still think the Tomb Raider Ip would warrant a greater sales price due to a longer legacy and brand recognition.
If we're looking for someone to blame, blame Microsoft. Lara was born on playstation (and pc). Buying rights for tomb raider to be a timed exclusive on Xbox is like sucking lemons. Left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
I just can't believe how little embracer paid for all that they got
Sounds like SquareEnix needs money, like, yesterday. Not surprising as practically every major release of theirs over the past 15 years, has ended up in the bargain bin after 6 weeks.
Only games which have been genuine were success were from third party publishing, or outsourced development. SquareEnix hasn't internally developed a great game, since probably FF XII, back in 2006.
Yet the reboot trilogy failed to meet expectations. Squares expectations are ludicrous
