| Cobretti2 said: The reason people blame Microsoft is because they bought all those IPs and did nothing good with them. o many franchise buried. Why buy all a studio with all those IPs if you don't want to grown those IPs? Clealry all the talent left before the purchase so that is the only logical sense when they bought them. They wanted those IPs. |
You also don't want them to destroy them either. Make the games when there is something good to make. I can sort of understand why they didn't just jump into the IPs straight away. KI took a long time but finally hit with good success. I like to see more of that and it seems Battletoads is next on there radar *Fingers crossed*
In my opinion I would much rather wait for something good than just release and devalue the IPs by making them mediocre. I think if anything MS played it safe with the IPs because they know they have some of the richest and colourful line-up of games that gamers want. A bit like Valve with Half Life 3, they can easily make it just to shut the fans up but Valve know there sitting on a gold mine IP that when released at the right time can rake in a fortune.
