BREAKING: Xbox is shutting down Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and two other studios.
- Thread starter Luffy123
- Start date
Seems that by Roundhouse Games Matt Booty meant in his mail Roundhouse Studios (previously known as Human Head Studios), a support team who worked in Elder Scrolls Online and Redfall.
And by Alpha Dog Studios meant Alpha Dog Games (also known as ZeniMax Halifax), a mobile gaming developer from Canada who made Ninja Golf or Mighty Doom.
It's a bit embarassing and humilliating to see that someone in charge of the studios is so disconnected from them that doesn't even remember their name when having to shut them down.

I think that the opposite. Sony haters were trying to force a drama -including in here at Iconea- out of that stupid non-issue thing, so now will try it harder.
Shows how much they care. They even called Tango Gameworks Tango Softworks when they acquired them.
Shinji Mikami left because he knew what was going to happen
Oh. Posted in wrong thread.
The takes are hilarious on twitter right now. Like above
Having shit ton of studios and teams they should be able to get at least 4 games per year.no more 1 AAA game every 3 months how they dreamt?
As an example, one from Activision Blizzard, one from Bethesda, one from the traditional MGS teams and one from the other smaller "recent" acquisitions or 2nd party teams.
In the fantasy world populated by certain gaming flatearthers who say that Sony games don't exist maybe.Well that happened with PlayStation for several years
But in reality Sony has more than 4 releases per year. As an example, in this first quarter they released TLOU2 Remaster, Helldivers 2, MLB, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade plus the PC port of HFW.
Yes, you were lying saying PlayStation didn't have a AAA game per quarter (or every 3 months/4 per year) during several years.
Which is a complete lie as can be easily double checked looking at this list of Sony's first party releases and adding there their 3rd party exclusives.
And as a brief example of their output I did mention the case of the previous quarter only listing the 1st party ones, not mentioning 3rd party ones like FFVII Rebirth or Granblue Fantasy Relink.
A few weeks ago I did post some fiscal reports that Media Molecule makes for their goverment which show they have been profitable every single year since the early PS3 days.
This is the conversation I replied:
- Gediminas: no more 1 AAA game every 3 months how they dreamt?
- Infinity: A triple A game every quarter was never going to happen. Pure delusion.
- ethomaz: Well that happened with PlayStation for several years
- my reply
you understood ethomaz wrongly. he said, that playstation managed to do it, 4 AAA games a year for several yearsThis is the conversation I replied:
- Gediminas: no more 1 AAA game every 3 months how they dreamt?

Wouldn't surprise me. They've taken 7+ years to create a niche 8 hour game. Can't imagine the purse-holders at Microsoft will look favorably upon that during the next time the chopping block comes out.
imagine, self sabotaging by writing this, admitting that all of them gave a pass
