I really wish Microsoft invested into Phantom Dust or a new game rather than Rise of the Tomb Raider.

MS have no talent to make they own game period so they paid huge sum of $$$$ to get other game exclusive
(that show how they afraid of the competitor)

The problem is not talent! Their problem is,they just don't trust their "smaller" IPs as "profitable enough" franchises.

- Killer instinct was not released as a AAA $60 retail game,but as a "try pls see if you like it and then buy in pieces" 'cause they didn't trust the game would be a sucess as a 60$ game.

- Banjo kazooei nuts and bolts deviates completely from the platformer it was suposse to be because they didn't believe there was a market for it(they even joke with this in the fucking game)

- Instead of making a proper remake of conkers or a sequel,they just gave people some packs of assets on project sparks so people could literally make the game by themselves because,guess what,they don't believe there is a market big enough for this.

- Phatom dust reboot was an outsorced,really tight budget,single-playerless project that MS dropped the moment they saw they would have to actually put some money in the project,because AGAIN they don't belive it would reach whatever was their goal.

- And at last,phil hyped the shit up about a new proper rare game even by teasing people with battletoads t-shirt.Then,they announced a collection of old the games and a new MMO.What about battletoads teaser you may ask? it was a shovel knight dlc...

Exactly my thoughts ( and those of many if they are honest, most believed Banjo/Battleload/Conker would return, not just a collection of old games, most believed Microsoft would make a lot of new big IP's X1 exclusive before Black Tusk death to become Gears factory... )

They dont trust their big studios to make new games, Black Tusk was making 3 new AAA games but they just told them " ok it's better if you just forget all this work and just work on gears, safer " , same for 343i, when will wee see an other game than Halo from them ? Maybe they can make a RPG?TPS?...

It's said their studios are just " one game factory " ,  they have absolutely no trust in the potential of their owns studios to make new good IP it seems, only Lionhead can hope to do something else than Fable if the rumors are true.
