Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Black Tusk renamed to The Coalition. will show more at E3. becoming a "gears machine"

Spade on 03 June 2015

The one thing I will say is I wish MS gave their internal studios more freedom to make new IPs. Halo studio, Gears studio, Forza studio.

:/

ND completed 3 uncharted games before moving on to tlou.

I'm not talking about ND.

Fact remains, that sony can focus on 1 ip for 5-10 year, then move on, yet a brand new studio who hasn't even released a game is supposed to work on multiple projects immediately. Give me a break, people are just complaining to complain.

Which studios?

Guerrilla have only ever made Killzone for them, Sucker Punch have done Infamous since the PS3 was born, Polyphony = GT, Sony Santa Monica cancelled their new IP, working on a new God of War 


most sony studios tend to work on 1 ip for a generation or about 3 games and then change.  GG did KZ 1,2,3 and now are onto horizon.  sucker punch did sly 1,2,3 then moved to infamous 1,2,3 and we don't know what they are working on now.  santa monica's new ip failed and that's disappointing but they've never referred to themselves as "a god of war studio",.. frankly they have their hands in just about everything.

polyphony is really the only studio i can think of where you can really say,. "all they do is GT games".

Sucker Punch did the Sly series on the PS2 though, Guerrila, while they have only worked on KZ til now, are working on a new IP, Sony Santa Monica, while their only fully internally developed IP is God of War, they are basically the colab studio of Sony, as they have co-developed so many projects it's insane. Polyphony though, has indeed only worked on GT.

so basically they have been 1 game studios as most sony stuidos are. 15-20 years and maybe 2 ip is essentially a 1 game studio. 


Which of the studios there would you say are one game studios? (besides Polyphony which is a one game studio) I'd give you Guerilla Games, since they still haven't released any non-KZ games, but Sucker Punch or Santa Monica? Nah.

there weren't many shits given when they picked up the gears franchise.  ..but an announcement where they say "Black Tusk: a gears of war company" pretty much tells you all you need to know about this studio's future.  if you love gears then i suppose this is wonderful news.  i like variety though.

I think you're reading into it wrong.

Sony's studios have made multiple IP all around (except Polyphony) Even ND who are mainly known for Uncharted and TLOU made many different IP on PS2.

What they're saying is that Microsft is known for focusing on established IP and the name change of a studio to something surrounding Gears of War (that has 4 games already) is indication that that is not going to change. Coalition wants to be associated with Gears of War and that is a step in the wrong direction. No one has a problem with them making gears of war games the problem is that this name changes suggests that's all they'll ever make.

They were confirmed as the Gears studio as soon as Rod Ferguson was hired over 1 year ago. I like variety as well, hence why it will be good to see Scalebound, Quantum Break, Rare, Press Play, Twisted Pixel...... talk about their games at E3.

Happy gaming to all though, let's hope they nail Gears of War and go on to make Shangheist, so that Banaking, DerNobel, Archangel.... can purchase an XB1.



HollyGamer on 03 June 2015

maybe they will change their name again if they working with new IP in the near future

black tusk sounded a lot better IMO. also, such a shame that MS is turning this into a "gears of war studio". their new IP looked interesting before it was axed.


Agree. This name basically says: "We will never work on anything other than Gears ever again".


That totally sucks IMO, thats sad Microsoft force their studio to be stuck with only one IP

 

So that " AAA spy game from Black Tusk" is dead.
