Who said anything about exclusivity?  Can't wait to see this game.  It felt like a resident evil clone.. well, it was.  Obviously there wont be any tank controls, and I think that's a good thing too.  RE1, 2 & 3 are fine with tank controls, but a modern game doesn't need them.  Part of me wishes there werent so many reboots, though.  When's the new original fresh IPs coming, that isn't about zombies?...

Wow this is hilarious. 

You strongly believe MS have no choice /facepalm.. they own 100% of Ninja Theory and 100% of HellBlade IP which falls under NT. The sad truth here is the lack of logic applied to your post. MS have all the choices in the world here. They can easily cancel the contract between whatever imaginary contract you are talking about here.. They own it. No different to how Epic pulled Metro Exodus from Steam weeks away from releasing and locking it to EGS.

You need to learn that when you own something you can control it. The problem here is you refuse to believe that MS allow these things to happen, its far from them not having a choice. The proof is pretty simple that MS want this to happen, just like in my Link I sent you.. they want Cuphead on Switch, they are not losing these exclusives when they want them to be on the machine. Halo MCC is coming to Steam because MS want it on Steam, they want Minecraft on Switch because they want it on Switch. Strong rumours say they want GamePass and future published titles on Switch.. how much clearer can it be. The choice is they are allowing Hellblade on Switch and not paying out the contract and terminating it. So you should be thanking them not hating them. If it was Sony, expect Sony to pull out all ports of a game and locking it into the PS eco-system, and Nintendo are no different here.

^Its a rumour but the way things are between MS and Nintendo with Crossplay, Switch Live account and more 1st party MS games coming to Switch, its not rocket science.

Buying studios is a different business, its got nothing to do with buying timed exclusives and porting 1st party games to other platforms. In other words, thank MS for buying those studios because at least there's a chance they will release on Steam and Switch unlike there competitors who wont be so passive with them.

Fuelling my fanboyism? so you are calling me a fanboy? Its more like I am stating the obvious. There's a difference.

There can be other reasons as to why other publishers are bringing these games to other platforms, and one of the main points here is that MS doesn't have to pay to bring it across. This would be more inline with a smart business move rather then MS publishing all there titles and spending more dollars when someone else can do it for them.

Either way if the studio is owned by MS and a game is releasing after the buyout, like Wasteland 3 or The Outer Worlds than they would have to come to terms with the owner first and in this case its MS or Xbox Game Studios for the rights. There way of thinking could be something like this, you want this game on your platform, than if you can find a publisher to publish it than its all yours, type of thing. That last part is just an assumption so don't jump me for that.

Games previously contracted before the buyout will fall under the microscope of the new owners and its up to them if they choose to terminate it which could lead to a payout.

When a company is under a umbrella like NT, they are given budgets, and in this case, NT has the budget to spend to publish there own game instead of relying on there mother brand to piggy back them, all MS want to see is profits not expenses so NT is taking the risk and hoping for the reward. They are allowing NT to bring Hellblade to the Switch same goes for Wasteland 3 for PS4 etc.

Lets not forget that MS Publish games, but I don't see why they need to do it to all of them especially since there very open with the Switch and Steam platforms and it can be quite an expense publishing all there IPs on other machines. All I am saying to you is they have the choice and that's allowing these deals to be created or to be continued, they are not terminating these contract agreements and locking these games and future games away. Different story if they only own part of the company like 50% etc. At 100% there is no debate, a full buyout includes all previous, current and future contracts. That's why buying companies can be quite an expense. Weather its worth cancelling or allowing is up to the rightful owners. 

Huge news if true, that would get me really hyped!, the last time i played a truly great Dinosaur game was on the PS1 with Dino Crisis 2... meaning Dino Crisis was the first and last time i played a great Dinosaur game, and i absolutely loved it.

Back then i was big into dinosaurs thanks to a small film called Jurassic Park and DC was the closest thing we had to a JP game, im on board for either a Remake of the first 2 games or a full reboot, current Capcom is  (in my opinion) as good as it was on its golden days so i can trust them with whatever they wanna do with the franchise.

Contracts are legally binding, however contracts can be terminated at a cost. Depends if its worth it. With MS's vision lately, its no surprise they allow these deals to happen. Its something they have been doing this gen and this isn't just with new studios or IPs they recently purchased, but even with there older IPs. They have been pushing for more multiplats this gen so letting NT continue with a Switch port of Hellblade is a no brainer. Also since NT is publishing there own game its very easy for MS to decide weather or not to allow the game or cancel it since there is no binding contracts with a 3rd party and MS own 100% of NT and all there properties. NT is working for MS now. This gives MS full control.

MS still hasn't pulled Minecraft from PS4 and they were the ones who pushed it to come out on Switch and so with Cuphead. Even if you are correct and MS have no choice because of a super duper contract that NT made with another, MS would have still most likely released Hellblade on Switch them selves. Its what they are doing lately. This type of effort needs to be praised not shutdown saying MS have no choice in the matter. Its something I support a lot of this gen and if Sony and Nintendo did the same thing they will get my praises as well.

MS have there own targets, goals and budgets, NT have there own targets, goals and budgets. NT still has there own pockets. Think of it like a Jar of money. Every time NT profits, that Jar fills up with money. Now lets say every quarter MS has a hand that takes from that Jar. So an example would be 15% of whatever NT make but that can vary depending on what MS wish to take etc, however NT still make there own money its just they are now bind to MS meaning they have to supply MS. This goes to all internal companies under a major umbrella. NT publishing there own game means the expense doesn't come out of MS's bank account but NTs which at the end of each quarter NT need to provide a income for MS.

Who said MS want to stop NT from making a VR game with Occlus? And why would MS stop releasing The Outer Worlds that Take 2 has offered to pay for the publishing rights? All MS care about is that money Jar that NT has. They don't care how they make the money, as long as NT feed MS's hand than there is no problem. The moment NT cannot provide MS's hand, than that's why we have closures like Lion Head Studios. Unable to pay there way for so long = gone.

Neat. I haven't played the series in well over a decade. I like what Capcom have been doing with their RE engine, so I'd be interested in seeing a good Dino game, since that area of gaming is seemingly dead.
