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

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.

Have you 2 thought that just maybe Rare does not want to redo old stuff.  There are a few interviews with the studio head where he states that the company does not want to just pump out sequels to stuff they already did but instead do something different.  Whether good or bad they do not want pump out the same old stuff they already did.   Maybe this is why Rare is coming out with Sea of Theves instead of rehashing an old game.

Crazy that people can talking about a company doing something different or coming out with a new IP then in the next breath condem them for not cashing in on old IP sequels.  

It would be better to do old stuff than  F2P MMO... ( be honest, it's very very rare to have a good F2P MMO , even more rare to get one comparable to a quality game retail ( and evne digital ) game )
