Well it does say major franchise xD sorry =P

It's a unnanounced title so....we don't know what game

Interested in what dev, I think Seece? said that LXP are a in-house studio at Redmond...or something like that..


The way it is worded makes it sound like a new franchise.  Idk, ill have to wait and see though.

What is known about Redmond?  I know there is MSFT Redmond Publishing which most likely helped get Ryse or Dead Rising 3, possibly even both.  But I didnt realize Redmond had in house first parties as well?  Where are we hearing this?

Wort Wort Wort! Go Master chief!!!

Really hope MS start a new RPG franchise. Fable seems to be deviating more and more from those roots, so that leaves them with a void in that space.

Idk how redmond works, but apparently they re the ones publishing Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, and Quantum Break.  I think they help third parties develop their games as well as fund them.  Though i cant say that 100%

I'm surprised they haven't created a western RPG like Fallout 3 or Elder scrolls.

We also have Justin Robey (Senior producer for Ryse) his main location appears to be Redmond

They probably have people at Redmond come up with the idea and then find a studio to make it so...Justin comes up with Ryse, he goes and helps Crytek make it

So they hire a Senior Art director, he stays at Redmond, comes up some stuff along with a producer? they then find a studio to make the game

Maybe it works like that xD


Well as i said before, if Microsoft owns Ryse, i want a sequel but find a better dev than crytek :P

Speaking off Fable, what would you guys want it to be like as a tv show?

I think it could go easily wrong

Focus in past? main games? animation or real people?....

 

I can't even think what I would want it to be like....


It could be a very small show like, to break between shows. Considering how light-hearted the games often are, and the crude humor they have, there's bound to be something interesting there!

 

Like those usual small films before a Pixar or Disney big production on-screen.
