Studio Gobo new Microsoft partnership.

I read they are hiring to make a console game. It's a Uk Studio. I never heard of Playground games (developers of FH3) either till last year, so i have high hopes Microsoft has found another talented studio to makes games for them?

It seems their portfolio primarily revolved around Disney Infinite.

It will be interesting to see what Microsoft has up their sleeve for them.

Getting ramped up with devs for Hololens games I guess. Can't wait, gonna be wicked cool!! :P

@SecretPolice: That's actually a good point. I could see them working on peripheral related software, given their roots in Disney Infinite.

They make console games, doubt it got anything to do with Hololen's..

@jumpaction:

:) Right on and it's why it made me think Hololens. Not entirely serious but it just seemed to come to mind with this devs past offerings.

For Scorpio and xbox one? Gamer's don't like gimmicks ( remember the hate for kinect) A game for VR, maybe?

@loe12k: You never know Disney Infinite heavily uses figures with its software. Could be similar?I don't know.

@SecretPolice: as long as they come out with fun games, that's all that matters. :)

I just think Microsoft learned its lesson (kinect) If they are making a game it just for console or VR.

@loe12k: well we dont know Microsoft 's intent for them yet. They could have been acquired to develop a Disney Infinite type game that uses collectible figures.

It could be a console game that uses such a peripheral.

Probably find out at E3?

@loe12k: I'm not sure but it would be great. :)

Hopefully it's something good all the same.

wow awesome, the best news in years... these guys have a pedigree of delivering great games, wonderful move by Ms.

I'm excited for the future cancellations this partnership will bring.

Halo Mega Blocks game revived....the "leaked" news to gauge intrest must of got a lot of intrest ??

That is the first thing that came to mind judging from the studios history it seemed like a perfect fit.

The executives at Sony must be trembling. This is exciting news from a great developer. With the money Microsoft throws at them their potential is limitless.

Hell yeah they're going to have Xboxiibos.

Playground Games

Games developed[edit]

Disney Infinity's 3D engine is based on Octane engine by Avalanche Software

F1 2012's 3D engine is based on Ego Game Technology Engine 2.0 by Codemasters.

I'm excited for the day you'll disappear from the forums...

Anyway, good to hear. Interesting to see what comes of it.

Now THIS is what I am talking about @loe12k THIS is what I want to see! :)

Glad they are a UK studio as MS needs more UK studios. Me thinks they will be developing a TRUE Fable game(love Fable) since LH are gone.

Minecraft Infinity.
