I'm really curious to see what he's going to do. It seems like a GTA-style game, but I wonder how it'll differentiate itself.

That was my first thought. Please no

A new studio making a AAA game. Yea, that'll go well. I still think new studios should only make small games for a few years to build up teamwork and trust within.

shinoff2183370d ago

That's a good point but if they have the talent it may not be needed

Mr_cheese370d ago

And the industry experience like this guy clearly does

anast370d ago

If it weren't one of the founder's of one of the most prolific open-world game studios, I would agree.

EazyC370d ago

That is an interesting point. They should gun for something akin to a great PS3 game imo. The resource cost of say RDR 2 would only EVER be possible by a monolithic titan of an organisation. It would be crazy to even try and compete straight away.

Housemarque Reveals It Has No Plans For Live Service Or Free-To-Play Title

Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”

Why would they change? That's not where their expertise is.

Redgrave3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.

I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.

Well whats different about Housemarque which Sony also owns that they can tell Sony what they will and wont do but the others couldn't?

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
