I have uncovered that 4 of those studios are indeed only Hololens studios (Good Science, Function, LXP, and SOTA). So MS just probably removed them from the Xbox page and those teams do still exists due to Hololens is used for mostly education and productivity at this point.
Thanks Neogaf, for the findings.

Build new IP and expand our franchise, I like the look of that.

Yup, I expect E3 is where you'll hear the big news of new franchises and new core studios.
Glad he...
Locked 30fps all the way, it seems, great news. Well done Ubisoft to get it optimized for console this time around.
@badz,
Those studios were set up for the main purpose of creating Kinect 2.0 titles that were included at the beginning of this gen as part of the Don Mattrick regime and vision. As of today, no one cares about Kinect and it is not required for anymore and then last major Kinect games MS delivered was Kinect Sports Rival.
So what is the point of having these small studios whose main purpose is to make games and apps for a now near extinct accessories? Those s...
@badz149
Dude, if you have been following me, I always said Kinect is worthless. So this just proved my point and made me happy. I am sure many core Xbox gamers felt the same way too so I dont know where you are going with this.

LoL, your post is worthless as a year ago Fable Legends was planned to be releaed and it is taken them forever and the game is not up to standard and is taken its tolls on MS as far as development and $$$. Similar to 8 days and the Getaway from Sony. Heck, no one seems to care about those 2 titles with long development time being canned but for some reason, here you are with the rest of of your Sony faithfuls, think this is a major title that will be missed, Pleased! If it were released a yea...
@Gority
You said Damage Control. BUT real Xbox fans don't even care about those games. Can you specifically tell me when was Project Spark officially released? I thought it was still in beta, like everyone else. I THINK you got it all wrong as the damage control are you guys that are hating on Xbox as 7/8 of those studios were Kinect and indies. And for Lionhead Studios that hasn't made a good game since Fable 2, another Fable could be easily made by another studios j...
Who were those Xbox fanboys that were championed for Kinect titles last gen? Can you give us a link to those members please.
That could be the plan. We hopefully will hear more at E3.
Com on dude 7/8 of these studios closing (even the one core studio, Lionhead haven't been relavent for many years now and made Fable Kinect), BigPark (Kinect Joy Ride; Kinect Sports), Function (Kinect), Good Science (Kinect Adventures; Kinect Fun Labs), LXP - (Kinect),Press Play (Max: The Curse of Brotherhood; Kalimba), Team Dakota (Project Spark), and State of the Art (Kinect) only makes Kinect/indies titles. Unless you guys still want Kinect titles, then the money saved will be tak...
These are the 8 studios removed.
List of studios removed:
BigPark (Kinect Joy Ride; Kinect Sports) - no big loss as Kinect is R.i.p for awhile now.
Good Science (Kinect Adventures; Kinect Fun Labs) - again, a non-important Kinect Only studios.
Function (Kinect) - Another Kinect studios that we don't even know what game they had made.
Lionhead (Fable) - News broked today. Haven't been relavent since Fa...

"The same people didn't have a problem paying $80 bucks for 4 hrs side scrollers in the past",
Dude, that is like saying people have no problem paying almost $3 grand for an Apple II computer with 48K RAM back in the days and the same spec should cost the same today.
Time changes, technology changes, expectation changes. Get with time. There is a reason why Side scrolling platformers are like $10 - $20 and ...
That is ONE GAME where you don't have to worry about quality and safe to preorder and pay full price in advance well ahead from release as Naughty Dog always bring it with all their titles. Got mine pre ordered since Aug of last year. You will not regret it, good for you.
It was flawless online when I played it this past weekend. Glad the stress test worked out. MAY here I come!
Don't know about that as SFV only managed 5th place on the Feb PSN digital sales chart. It was beaten by Indie Firewatch, and an an old game in Rocket League.

In addition to Zipper, Sony also closed
BIG blue Studio - MotorStorm: Arctic EdgeIncognito Entertainment - warhawk, Twisted Metal
Studio Liverpool - Wipeout
Also, SOE, makers of Planetside 2, was sold off.
And Sony seems to be alright. Everything will be fine as the last great game from Lionhead was Fable 2. That was a long time ago. Pretty sure if MS want another Fable, they can contract it out to a second party deve...
We will see. For me, it is wait and see as I'd been burned too many times from Pre orders on Full retail titles that turned out to not worth $60 at launch like Destiny.
Hope for the best on No Man's Sky. The reviews and mod support tools will be critical for me to pick it up around launch.
You recommend picking it up now at $60 or wait a bit? How is the netcode? Thinking hard about this game but can't get over the so many missing mode.
It is being held quiet until E3 and announce as a NX launch title. That is what is really happening. Nintendo better also not cancel the Wii U version.
