Xbox Exec Explains What Microsoft’s Five New Studios Have in Common

Head of Microsoft Studios Matt Booty talks about what the acquisitions mean for Xbox.

Italiano12345672880d ago

And they still dont have as many studios has Sony....This should of all been taking care of already. At least possibly xbox fans have something to look forward to next gen

RDOUBLE2880d ago

Only separated by two studios.

UltimateRacer2880d ago

“Only separated by two studios” and Sony’s unrivaled teams of developers that MS could only dream of having.

Vasto2880d ago (Edited 2880d ago )

LMAO,

Playground, 343, The Coalition and Turn 10 are better than anybody Sony has.

Ninja Theory has already shown they are just as good too. Phil already said they are not even done with adding new studios!

jznrpg2880d ago

2 studios maybe but in terms of quality games it’s a big gap

bluefox7552880d ago

Yeah, but Sony's are all proven while under the Sony umbrella. Nothing from MS really comes close to the quality of games like TLoU or God of War for instance. It's like the difference between AA and AAA games.

RDOUBLE2880d ago

Nobody is disagreeing with quality. HE SAID DONT HAVE AS MANY.

@Vasto
Listen man, been a Microsoft fanboy since the og Xbox. But Naughty Dog is amazing. There are other awesome Sony studios, but ND is the one I wish MS had. The last of Us is one of my favorite games.

@ gamerzero

What's the matter, can't admit that MS is changing?

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2880d ago (Edited 2880d ago )

Well to be fair, Sony fans did not get any big announcements regarding the future of Playstation? So Xbox is now focused on building/buying new studios for new Ip's and Sony is showing off what they have already announced but no new future Ip's. Different approaches but I think both had good conferences.

The crazy part is after seeing E3 from both camps, my most anticipated game is RAGE 2, followed by Spiderman and Forza Horizon 4

Cohagen4202880d ago

Are you out of your mind? PS4 is bringing current games and presenting games for the future.

bluefox7552880d ago

They showed lots for the future of Playstation, the difference is, we already knew the future was bright. Now MS promises a bright future for Xbox...again. We've been down this road before, and I hope it's different this time, but it's hard to not assume the worst.

TheCommentator2880d ago

I'm assuming, from their new console rumors, that Sony's prepping for next gen already so they're not ready to show off their new stuff yet.

gangsta_red2880d ago

Sony didn't announce anything new at their E3 all they showed were games that were previously announced.

Which means there's going to be a fresh start for the big three next E3.

Yeah, what a total let down that MS only doubled it's portfolio of studios in one year. /s

Seraphim2880d ago

exactly. and in all honesty they really should have been working on building new studios the past decade. Studios to create new IPs and/or bring back other IPs owned by MS. This kind of reminds me of a while back when they were doing exclusive deals and making some acquisitions promising more games to come. Over time they just started to ignore software again. It's only a matter of time before MS reverts back to it's old ways. In the mean time, yeah, these studios will start working on games but nothing will come to fruition for, likely, another 2 years.

Well that's an easy one. None of them will make a significant impact on Xbox sales.

Give me a tougher one next time.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio2d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing1d 23h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing1d 23h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 21h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 21h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma2d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay2d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran82d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger2d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm232d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.
