I'm too old for people slandering studios now and gaming has NEVER been better... Look at Square Enix?
FF7R Rebirth and FFXVI and Forspoken and KH4 and Dragon Quest 12 all in ONE generation!
Sunset Overdrive was a Xbox exclusive on a console that a lot of people didn't want because of the whole DRM debacle
A new Resistance game by today's Insomniac Games would do really well
I wouldn't mind if Bluepoint remade Resistance 3

They guy is entitled to his opinion and at least creates discussion, whoever changed that did it with extreme lack of taste.

Making new IPs is hard and Insomniac actually created pretty successful IPs they just didn't have the rights to them.
Ready at Dawn was on a roll until they tried to take the next step with their own AAA IP, had to rush it out the door and now they are stuck under Facebook.
There is a lot more that goes into a successful new IP than just being a competent studio.
As for MS, their studios seem to have a hard time working on already established IPs and they haven't have a new successful IP in ages. Not a single IP people associate with Xbox was created under Phil Spencer (who was made general manager of Microsoft Studios about 14 years ago). Forza, Halo, Gears, were all already existing IPs, it's borderline unbelievable how little success they had with new IPs.

I don't wanna live a life where thinking Insomniac Games is a bad studio... Fuck that.
SM2 is gonna make 4M+ in the few days next year and Wolverine is gonna do numbers anyway, i don't think they are worried LMAO.
I was talking about Spyro and Ratchet and Clank, IPs that are still around to this day.
Oh that is very true! Shame we won't get a Insomniac directed Spyro game ever again though.
Sony manages their studios and IPs better. There’s reason to believe that newer partners like Housemarque and Bungie will only improve with Sony’s backing.
Can’t say the same for Microsoft. They’re just vultures. They’re not too successful at making games either. Buying Minecraft and CoD? Sure I guess that works too when your entire games division is creatively bankrupt.
Fallout 76 for many reasons has been more successful than Division 2, Anthem, Avengers and outperforms Halo Infinite on PC. It’s an interesting online game for sure. Haven’t played it since next gen launched but the efforts to keep that game going and improve it into something interesting is a pretty huge success story IMO. However I’m still unsure if it’ll stay ongoing with any major content. It might be done with.

Even Halo and Gear were bought.
It's crazy how much money they spent to get CoD (that is pretty much all Activision part of Activision Blizzard amount to now) and as we've seen with games like Battlefield that you are never too big to fail. As for Blizzard lmao, it's like buying Bioware in 2022, all you get is the name.
