With Activision killing Guitar Hero, True Crime and others and doubling down on Call of Duty and Blizzard titles, it's clear that the publisher could benefit from some more great IP. Although Activision does have a 10-year deal with Bungie, ultimately that's Bungie's IP to keep. The best way for the cash rich company to gain more properties, of course, is through acquisition. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia argues that Activision would do quite well to pick up Take-Two.
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
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
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
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!
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick AI can help mundane tasks in creating games but human creativity will always be needed.
Well there’s a saying about 100 monkeys with typewriters in a room, give it a few years and you’ll see the miracles that can be done with 100 Ai in a server 🤣
Great interview from a humbly powerful man! I’m sad he didn’t speak about RDR at anytime, it’s like it’s not big enough for them
Bit of a stretch to say "human creativity" will always be needed, key word being always. Sure it makes a big difference right now, if you just let it do whatever with little/no effort you end up with lazily put together slop..
It's still early days, but tools to help develop games quicker is obviously a good thing.
because I hate activision.
Also, im sure the people at T2 would not be happy when Kotex keeps their bonuses for himself and fires them.
Would you like for the gaming industry to be RUINED? That would be the absolute worst thing that could have to the gaming industry right now. Take-Two has a wonderful amount of great IPs and I would not want to see those ruined by koticks money hungry BS.
How about why Activision should die a slow painful death?
Please God, don't let this happen.
Fuck that, I don't want an annual GTA.
