I'm assuming Phil will have some unannounced AAA games for the launch window of xbox scorpio. Mech Assault has been rumored. I want them to come out with Fable 4.

I doubt they have had enough time for something like that.

It hasnt been that long since they stopped production of fable legends.

Plus wherent most of those guys let go? it would be a fable without the people that made fable, fable.

They can  use all the assets from previous fable and fable legends to make a great Fable game. You don't need the previous studio to make the game. In fact, I would recommend Phil to create a studio in North America and create the Fable game here. Just hire a few British comedians to keep up with the British humour. I believe you will have a better chance at making a game on a timely matter if you made here in the United States.

Why do that when you still have Rare around?

"console looked right"

I don't understand this. Could they have made the console look wrong?

Originally, it had human feet. And it still looked like a VCR.

To be honest, is has to do with EU always failing me outside of witcher 3 and forza horizon 3. Also, I don't think rare has enough people.

I wouldn't be too sure of that.

I think so. Anyways Microsoft has the assets, they should be able to make the game since the assets are the most expensive part of a game.

It's not as simple as that. You might have the assets, but you still need to develop the game and then market it. Uncharted 2 cost the same as the original to make, becuase the team expanded the scope of the game, which is generally what you try to do with each new iteration.

Also, it's not as simple as throwing a new team at a franchise. There's plenty of examples, look at 343, a blank check and drawing talent from different companies does not mean you can just re-create what Bungie did. 

Rare had 150 people working on Kinect Sports Rivals in 2014. They're linkedin profile lists them as a 50-200 person company. They're likely a significantly bigger studio than Lionhead were.

Halo 5 mp is probably the best it has ever been in Halo's history. All they have to do now is nail the story and they will have the perfect Halo Game.
