The rumor is probably just a rumor. Well, for the most part. Should it be true, I hope it's a game for more than one system. They would look dumb otherwise.

I really enjoy Crackdown 3 so far, but the driving is awful!

I second this. Most of the gameplay is surprisingly well polished but the driving.. ugh. These challenges are a pain in the ass.

 

Overall it's a bit repetitive too but fun to play. I like it that weapons are different enough and there's variety in enemies.

 

On the other hand, Wrecking Zone is awful and maybe the most useless mp I've played.

 

So far a solid 7/10 game I'd say. Should be sold for 39,99€ though.



As long as io-interactive get to:
-keep making Hitman
-release their games on Steam

I don't mind them being acquired. I don't see either happening, however. So I'm going to go with Moon. They actually make the most sense anyways.



Voted other. My picks would be WayForward(Shantae, Mummy Demastered) and Night School Studio(Oxenfree).

I voted Other. Obviously my Dream would be PlatinumGames &/or FromSoft but those are pipe dreams.

I would rather they go after Remedy because they have two teams now, but i honestly doubt that MS go after another AAA dev. They have only acquired 3 and one was basically a 2nd party already.



Of the studios on the List I actually hope that they don’t go after Turtle Rock and it looks like Typhoon has passed them by already.

4A and IOI would be really great but I doubt that it happens, Asobo would be a neat pickup and Bluepoint would have potential but not move the needle for me.

Moon would be a solid pickup but we know that they want to stay independent.

My list of AA devs that MS should go after are (random order not ranking)

1. Deck 13 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck13

2. Spyders https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiders_(company)

3. Frogwares https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frogwares

4. Armature https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Studio

6. Gunfire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfire_Games

7. Aurora44 https://www.giantbomb.com/aurora44-games/3010-11179/

Man BioWare has fallen so low, while I don’t think that Anthem is a horrible game they have been incredibly miss managed by EA. I’m afraid of what will happen to Respawn, and I would not be surprised if a bunch of talent leave BioWare.

MS should hire them and let them help work on Obsidian games.
