Hey,

Which studio should work on which IP?

Here are my thoughts:

Double Fine --> Banjo Kazooie and Conker

Obsidian --> Fallout New Vegas 2

Bethesda --> Halo RPG (YEAH, I SAID IT!)

Machine Games --> Crimson Skies

Your thoughts?

I want another Sunset Overdrive game, but am I right in saying that Sony now own that IP?

I want the small Grounded obsidian team to help Undead Labs made State of Decay 3. I feel like that Franchise is so underrated but needs Obsidian's polish.

I would prefer Outer Worlds 2 from Obsidian over New Vegas 2.

One of the reasons SO was on XBox instead of PS was because at the time Insomniac wanted to own their new IP, but Sony would not fund it under those conditions.  MS however did, and while they own exclusive rights to the 1st game permanently by contract (think Bayo 2/3 and Nintendo), Insomniac retained rights to the IP itself (think Bayo 2/3 and Sega).

So with Sony buying Insomniac, yes they now own the IP and there will be no SO2 on XBox.

1st: True. It is a fun game, but I never finished it.

2nd: I think the small Grounded Team is doing so well, because it is a small team working as independently as possible. These guys as a support for a bigger team would not work out IMO.

I want Undead Labs to create a full AAA game with State of Decay. More budget, time and manpower needed.

The following is what I wish each studio would make after their current games are made:

343 Industries - Halo Wars 3

Compulson Games - New ip: 3D platformer with artful colors.

Double Fine Productions - New ip: 2D rhythm based scroller game like Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

inXile Entertainment - RTS game set in the Wasteland world.

Mojang Studios - New ip: I used to want Minecraft 2, but I’ve realized that would alienate the player base and tick tens of millions of people off. Instead, I want the NEXT Minecraft, in other words, the next huge mega hit game.

Ninja Theory - New ip: Xbox’s version of Super Smash Bros. They have PLENTY of ip now to tap into, including both gritty characters and fun/adorable ones (Sea of Thieves, Everwild).

Obsidian Entertainment - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3

Playground Games - Fable 1-3 remake in top down view like Wasteland 3. Will allow for a smaller budget to put all three games into one so players can experience them quickly.

Rare - New ip: A new artful racing game like Diddy Kong Racing with Xbox characters. Would be a massive hit with kids and families.

The Coalition - A battle royale online Halo game. You, plus 99 others, have to survive against the flood outbreak on an island. This isn’t about which player can kill every player and be the last one standing, it’s about which player can survive against an endless swarm of flood and be the last one standing. Matches could last minutes or hours depending on skill. People can watch live matches of someone surviving against all odds. Dang I’m excited by this one lol.

The Initiative - AAAA new ip game like I thought we were getting before they announced Perfect Dark: Man Bad, Plants Good.

Undead Labs - Game where you play a Zombie (Bert) (controls are WACK) and you fall in love with another Zombie (Helen) and you have to woo her by presenting her with manflesh to eat. It’s a Rom/Com Zombie game!

World’s Edge - New turn based Age of Empires game that plays like Civilization.

Bethesda - The Elder Scrolls 1 Remake.

Id Software - PreDoom. Game that sets up the whole history of Doom. Plays like Doom.

Arkane Studios - Dishonored 3
