Didn’t actually realize that some of the guys that joined the ZOS San Diego Studio were the same guys that just recently left the Unannounced Sony San Diego Studio that is supposedly working on Uncharted 4 (although Shinobi hinted that it might not be). Wonder what convinced them to leave a new studio in mid development?

Christine Thompson is the lead writer of Perfect Dark her credits are Star Trek Online and lead narrative writer for Destiny 2. Hope that she does a good job since this is the biggest opportunity of her career.



Huh, I thought Dala made Battletoads and Splash Damage with Gears Tactics. With Rare and Coalition merely providing backup and make sure the games are consistent with the established universes.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Now that PD is confirmed we need a platformer, Banjo 3. And I actually want Rare to make it. They should either outsource SoT updates or expand. But Gregg should absolutely lead a team at Rare for Banjo 3.

Also Killer Instinct 2 desperately needs to happen



Series X and S debuted with less sales than the Xbox One and the Series X had an extra week in November npd. The worldwide launch seems to have hurt MS in the US.

They waited too long due to the updated chipset. At least we know it’s because of production, not due to lack of demand.

Am I the only one who hopes Joanna's new hairstyle is closer to the PDZ version than the N64 one? 

I kind of liked her pixie cut better.

Well, now that it has been confirmed that The Initiative is doing Perfect Dark, one question remains? What the heck is Ken Lobb doing with XGP? He is still credited as a Partner Studio/XGP Creative Director on LinkedIn and his Twitter, yet the last game's credits he appeared on was Quantum Break in 2016, which was just a "Special Thanks". 

  • Is he doing the rumored new AAA XGP game, and if so, is it a new IP or another MS IP reboot/revival? 
  • Is he doing a new Killer Instinct with some other developer besides Iron Galaxy, since they said they aren't interested in doing more Killer Instinct?
  • Is he just sitting on Microsoft's payroll while doing absolutely nothing.

I just had a mental image of Ken Lobb hiding from Phil spencer in his office with the lights turned off.

? Judging from the trailer it is, and red (or at least that’s what I thought I saw). Heavily inspired by PDZ

Nah.  Seems like they're going more for a different style: backside of head getting buzzcut with short/medium hair left on top.

Damn I will have to rewatch it, went by fast. Did you see a glimpse of a shade of red or am I tripping? Lol
