Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Phil Spencer - Talks about Scalebound and first party games "1st party internal studios are critical"

"1st party internal studios are critical" ...so then they shut most of their studios down. Logic.

I agree with Phil that it isn't as easy as that, and I am legit shocked that ppl think that something like Scalebound just needs more money thrown at it, and more time, and it will automatically be finished and be a good game.

BUT

at the same time, MS really needs to find meaningful ways to expand their lineup. Too much trying to be Nintendo (long lasting IPs) and not enough trying to be Sony (a lot of IPs that are made for the time/ gen) is what I think is hurting MS.

Pretty much.  I mean, it's quite possible that he feels that way but that doesn't amount to much if his bosses feel otherwise.  With nothing to back it up, it just becomes an empty promise.  Better to say nothing at all.

Of course, he could surprise us.  It's not like Microsoft doesn't have the capital to do whatever they want.  It just doesn't seem probable.



I'd rather they make a new stable of first party studios to make some new IPs for Xbox. Talk is cheap.



Scalebound was shit and the partnership failed but they have lots of successes with other partnerships, in have no doubt they'll continue to enter them. Hopefully we get more Sunsets and Ori's than Scalebounds.



Maybe if you stop having your 1st party studios work on the same tired franchises over and over. Just a thought. I mean, if you're going to keep them doing the same game over and over at least build more studios. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Damn man, how'd you get such an early copy?!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

"...stop the company from taking risks. That's why I love xbox"

MS/Xbox has never struck me as risk takers, ever...Weeeell, apart from the colossal blunder that was the reveal of the Xbone, that truly was a real risk.

MS needs more original IP's. Leave Halo & Gears for the next console gen.
