GOW 4 is 2018s GOTY and considered to be one of Sonys best games. It will be hard for them to deliver a game of that quality but it's not as foolish to think that their new studios could deliver on something like that.

Undead, inXile, and compulsion games probably won't but the other new studios are capable.

Playground Games lowest reviewed game is Forza Horizon 1 at 85 and their last 2 games scored in the 90s. They have the talent to make a GOW 4 caliber Gable game.

Ninja Theory made Hellblade with a small budget while developing multiple games for other publishers. Now they have the funds and creative freedom to do whatever they want.

Obsidean devevloped Fallout New Vegas which is considered by many to be the best Fallout game. They have lots of talented devs and the Outer Worlds look promising.

And yeah the Initiative has been hiring some of the industries best. They even have quite a few people that worked on GOW XD.

Im not saying that MS new studios will create a GOW caliber game though but some of their studios are definitely capable of doing so.

Again, im not saying they they will always be mediocre devs, they sure have the potential, what im saying is that counting on GOW quaity games from the new studios at the begining of the gen is ridiculous. Their experience studios like 343 might, theres no doubt they have a shot. Even the new ones could with some time, wich is what im saying, dont expect big things right off the bat with the new studios. It probably wont be their first game thats a runaway success. ANd I did say it in the first post, ninja theory is their most likely candidate. I would even say they have a better chance than 343 and playground.

But Obsidean, Playground are not new studios. MS have bought them but they have been around for a few years and have made highly acclaimed games. The Intiative is a new studio composed of some of the most talented devs there are. It would be underestimating them to say they don'thave the potential to back something big. 

At the start of the gen I dont expect Playgrounds Fable, Obsideans next game, and The Intiatives game to drop but when they do I think they have potential to be really good.
