Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox needs exclusive shmups again like 360 era (funded)

That would kill those devs. They come to Switch because it's the best selling system over there. I'm looking forward to R-Type Final 2 in April

I know finacially won't profit , but why must Sony do it if they won't profit neither? Sony should spend it on more exclusives that masses want Ie rpg's or shooters, Kena bridge is great, noone cared of that new raiden shmup last year , I know shmup fans like myself are bottom of the barrel to get another quality shmup but mmicrosof s willing to burn.

Maybe I've misunderstood what you wrote, but:

1. Sony has a good relationship with Housemarque. Returnal is the risk they're both taking because their bullet hell esque games were too niche.

2. Sony doesn't make RPGS or Shooters because 3rd parties already do a lot of that.

If Returnal succeeds, maybe MS will try again. 

What are Treasure doing these days ?

IP holding studio now. Not really a developer anymore.

Thanks for the reply  have to say  that's disappointing, but not unexpected since the last I remember about them, was they had switched to using middleware and stated that meant there would no longer be a focus on really  pushing the hardware.
