Microsoft buying big AAA companies, meanwhile Sony buying indie studios who release flops.
So Returnal and Demon's Souls are flops?
Those are two games that provide true next gen experiences and they both scored over 80 on Metacritic.
What did Microsoft release so far?
I mean, Playground Games has released Forza Horizon 4. which is 92 on MC. Its sequel is 4 months away, and thats all but guaranteed a 90+ metacritic score (just like their last 2 games) if the reception to their E3 showing is any indication. And if that same positive response is an indication, I am not worried at all about Fable.
Every game they've made has a higher metacritic score than the last, and there's zero indication of that stairstep evolution slowing down. Microsoft expanded them to a second studio, and exploded the headcount from 115 to more than 314, nearly trippling them in size since acquisition. And attracted creative leadership from the likes of Rockstar, etc.....
They've done similar expansion and mass hiring sprees with all the other studios they've acquired. They moved InXile into a lavish new studio, and brought in Senior Creative Directors from other AAA studios, like the Lead Combat Designer on God of War 2018. Cows should like that one.
