Possibilities for new studio/IP pairing have been flying across social media. These are a few ideas I had for which Bethesda studios should tackle some Microsoft IPs, or vice versa, now that Xbox has 23 studios under its exclusivity belt.
Rather than craft a nostalgia-driven tribute to the original platformers, Bethesda is instead making a free-to-play Commander Keen mobile game which looks like it will try to capture the same edgy-yet-kid-friendly vibe of games like Fortnite.
The Commander Keen games were great PC platformers, seeing him resurrected as a mobile game was pretty depressing.
I'm just confused about John Romero's initial objections towards ID being acquired by Bethesda.
They pretty much changed everything about one of his pre-ID IP's and made it lose any connection it has to the past.
Sure I understand it's probably a money thing but this could potentially be the start of more IP's going down that lane.
