Great news...I guess this E3 is too early to see even a teaser for a game from them right? But at least by next E3. Good move MS


Microsoft Game Studios (Zipline Studios)
Feb 2010 to Present


that was before they were acquired right? I read that they had made a game called Relic Rescue or something under that name but don't think it was for the 360. But you're right it can very well be that they had something going on the for the 360 before the official acquisition. I hope so, will make E3 even more interesting. New Game announcements are always fun


relic rescue was released on march of 2011 it a facebook game

wait found this on Gamasutra

"Microsoft Game Studios has launched a web site for a new Vancouver location that is reportedly working on a "core" Kinect-based shooter for the Xbox 360."

So the word is it's gonna be a game for Kinect it seems unless they have multiple projects going on.

because Microsoft finally opened their eyes lol  0_0

and also maybe microsoft found out it maybe cheaper to make studios then doing buyout  the last buyout was big park only because don mattrick owned some of that studio so they decied to fully own the rest of  big park but who knows im just glad their makin this studio and hope more follows

I think Microsoft should start buying studios instead of making them. This is good for kinect but unless its a huge revolutionary game i dont think it will be much of a big deal.

If they were smart they would go acquire Epic games since the majority of there sales come from the 360 and many of the games they make appeal to most of the 360 userbase.   :)




I thought their rental model was better, timed exclusives FTW.



Tease.

i've been saying MS should build more dev studios, but i think every publisher should.

more studios, = more games, =more money, = everybody wins.
