I wonder how the corporate structure will be for Activision Blizzard when/if the deal finalizes? I checked and for some reason, ZeniMax Media, a holdings company, is still listed as the parent company of Bethesda Softworks and their in-house studios. I feel like it would be more streamlined if ZeniMax was done away with entirely and it was just Bethesda Softworks directly reporting to Xbox, acting as the "parent company" to Bethesda's first party studios.

It would be a good start to get rid of the current overarching corporate structure of Activision Blizzard, which operates I guess in a similar manner like ZeniMax, and split both companies into their own publishing entities, along with their respective studios. You never see Activision Blizzard listed as the publisher for the latest CoD. It's just Activision. Same thing with a Blizzard game or a King game.

That way, Bobby Kotick and all his goons are completely out of the picture, with Activision and Blizzard operating as independent publishers reporting directly to Xbox in a similar manner as Bethesda Softworks would be. It'll also help get rid of the "Activision influence" that was seeping into Blizzard for years, on top of employing just some really bad people. And of course give Vicarious Visions back to Activision :) I probably put way too much thought into this xD

There are some positive signs that the Sony Street Fighter 6 moneyhat rumor was false. Capcom has a countdown clock counting down to Monday I think, the Capcom Pro Tour Street Fighter 5 final season is happening right now, Capcom is posting a bunch of new SKU's on Xbox Store, and Microsoft's poll of the day was rather Street Fighter or Marvel vs Capcom is the better Capcom fighting series.

Never seen this leaked Scalebound gameplay before, makes me want a revival all the more. That dragon customization stuff seems great:

Was just having a discussion about a revival and how it should be handled. First off, Microsoft for their part, should drop the whole 4 player multiplayer Monster Hunter clone thing, it's too much, and it's pointless when Microsoft is rumored to have a whole Monster Hunter clone game in development right now. If they insist on co-op, make it 2 player drop-in, drop-out co-op with player 2 taking over for an AI companion character, preferably a female one for some variety. 

Kamiya for his part, should definitely change the protagonist's design some, change his hair color and/or hair style so he looks less like a clone of Nero from DMC and Jack from Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, maybe make him a bit less cocky. Speed up the traversal some by making that grapplehook slingshot we saw in the IGN First combat footage useable in free roam to speed up movement, and likewise speed up the flying on your dragon's back in free roam because it looks super slow in that above footage. Maybe get rid of all that resource management stuff with the weapon durability system and the limited number of arrows and D-pad tools, put them on a recharge cooldown instead. Maybe make the whole headphone modern music in combat mechanic a gauge that charges up which you can activate to put on your headphones and play music from your smartphone playlist for a temporary stat boost, much like the Guardians of the Galaxy game headphones in battle mechanic, instead of having modern music playing in a fantasy world every single time you are in a battle. And of course revamp the graphics, because even in 2015 those graphics were a bit lackluster, a Scalebound revival would be a 2024 game at the earliest, making it Xbox Series/PC exclusive, so it needs to look the part, maybe The Coalition or Ninja Theory could help them transfer their work from UE4 to UE5 and boost the graphics up to the Xbox Series standard.
