Phil Spencer head of Xbox is implying they might acquire a japanese studio
Xbox is returning to japan
>its fromsoft
My dad went to the same high school as Phil, said he was a huge jerk. Gave some depressed guy a wedgie on senior prom.
they've said this like 5 times already
it's konami
That doesn't sound like Phil spencer at all. Nobody used to give wedges in highschool. Post a senior year photo faggot
>phil's japanese
holy cringe
>Buys FROM
>Gives them the Rare treatment, no new games in existing franchises, just have them make shitty shovelware.
The future is going to be great for shitposting.
Hopefully it's a small studio that makes fun games and not just shit that appeals to anime fans like me. Xbox could use a studio that makes games like Rhythm Heaven and Super Monkey ball more than a studio that makes Lost Odyssey. I'm a PC gamer, an Xbox owner and a PS4 holder. We need more fun general audience games for Xbox and I think a smaller Japanese studio that slowly grows over time is the perfect fit for Xbox.
Japan hates the Xbone, Microshaft needs to focus on North America and Europe.
Imagine if they got sega
>holy cringe
>english guy tries japanese because japs can‘t do english
>holy cringe
>jap guy tries english eventhough they can‘t do english
>holy based!!!!
This is your mind on console faggotry wars
Lost Odyssey 2?
Only thing that shitty video implies is that he's been taken hostage.
this sounds like the right choice desu. I actually would love to play another Monkey Ball right now.
at that point, make dreamcast 2
that is genuinely embarrassing
>9k views
lmao
Xbox needs more comfy Japanese games, I agree. Something that also appeals to people who enjoy shit from old rare and stuff.
STAY OUT WHITE PIG
This idea is fucking retarded. If you want that shit buy a switch with Animal crossing
>Microsoft monopoly becomes even greater monopoly
If anyone is even remotely excited for this, you're retarded
That's the guy from wedding crashers, isn't it?
>buy studio
>instantly screw up studio culture and ruin it into the ground
MS is the probably the worst publisher/ producer in existence. They can't even stop meddling when it's just a fucking project they finance, like with that Scalebound fiasco.
Platinum isn't known to not complete games or to cancel projects and yet they felt compelled to do so while working with them.
Based. Microsoft is rich enough to even just buyout Sony if they felt like it.
I’m reading the comments. Japanese seem very happy about this. They have been waiting a long time for game pass to release over there. And one comment even says they’re happy Phil is not giving up the Japan market
This isn't true at all. Lionhead killed themselves when Peter Molyneux left. Playground hasn't been destroyed because Microsoft acquired them. Minecraft has only gotten better since Microsoft acquired them. InXile is getting kino, Obsidian is getting better and Compulsion is getting better.
one does not simply acquire the pachinco giant that is konami
You're delusional beyond belief. Scalebound was a clusterfuck because of Kamiya, not Microsoft. What are they supposed to do? Keep giving money to a person who can't hit milestones? Who produces absolute trash when he gets something done? Scalebound gameplay video killed the project because the public reaction to it was disgust.
rmao @ ur rife baka gaijin
It's very funny to hear him speak Japanese lmao
Does this even fucking matter? It'll probably some nobody studio no one cares about. They should have done this in 2006 with Mistwalker when they were still fresh
Even if Phil is trying to steer their ship straight I don't see how the fuck anyone will care about Xbox at this point
Also, this is the same company that destroyed Rareware over time. Why the fuck would I be excited for them to obtain and destroy any other studios
Microsoft needs to acquire a small studio and release a good game, push it on game pass for pc and xcloud, make a small mobile spin off as well. Instant success if its a good game.
Didn't the nips issued a lockdown?
What the fuck did he say at the end?
xbox were the retards who wanted it to be multiplayer
Microsoft didn't destroy rare you fucking retard. oldfags left the company and started different studios. How many times has a studio started up and shoved shit in their advertising like "From the artist behind banjo kazooie, from the creators of banjo, from the creators of perfect dark etc.
KAGE
The more Jap games the better, not just western games from western studio all the time. We need more diverse games so we can have an inclusive ecosystem on Xbox! Thanks Phil Spencer
Burger in one hand controller in the other.
This. The whole game was a fucking retarded idea.
>you are a normal guy, but also have huge dragon as a friend
>you still battle normal fucking people and the dragon is a clunky piece of shit who moves with you
That game would have been good for like 2-3 bossfights and otherwise just shit.
But you forget user Xbone has no game
>Animal crossing
>fun
>this is the only way jet set radio future gets a port in HD
I'm fine with it at this point
All of Yakuza is already localized so there's nothing major from them I need
Also means they'd get Fatlus though wouldn't they
Bungie managed to have quite a good office culture while working for Microsoft Studios look what happened to them the second they went to Activision. I'd wager MS studios isn't as bad as you say it is.
The Japanese eat up cute shit these days, focus on making cartoony games that actually play great and they'll play the mobile spin-offs and PC versions
Everwild I could see being a bit of a success in Japan if they play their cards right and properly advertise it.
Isn’t japan on lockdown?
they killed the project because platinum gave xbox the finger for wanting to force MP on them
Even if Kamiya wasn't the easiest to work with. Scalebound is the only major Platinum project to have been cancelled.
Even shit like Ninja Turtles at least came out. There has to be an issue on Microsofts end here more so than Kamiya
Again, this is the same group that killed Rare
They lost their chance when they never bought Team Ninja.
Ninja Gaiden doesn't sell as well as Yakuza or any of the modern Japanese games. Team Ninja doesn't make new Ninja Gaidens for that reason.
"j-japan will surely like us this time," says microsoft every generation.
spoiler alert: the japanese won't buy or support their shitbox.
Oldfags at Rare were already leaving before Rare bought them but plenty of the original staff were still around.
There's too much developer commentary out there about how fucked up things became once Microsoft bought them. I'd believe devs any day before I believe corporate MS shills
Even if they didn't ruin Rare as much as the public perceives they did who the fuck even cares when they've more or less mismanaged one of the greatest wealth of Western IP's in existence. Like, how do you fuck up THAT bad
Literally the only game worth a damn that's come out from them was KI and that was made by outside studios.
It's fucking pathetic
Scalebound was sacrificed for a live service game truly the darkest time
I don't give two shits about Yakuza games and even Nioh pales in comparison to NGB and NG2. They don't make new Ninja Gaidend becausr Itagaki left and NG3 and Yaiba were shit.
Compile heart maybe?
Now you're bargaining with your whataboutism. No, Microsoft isn't to blame. The relationship was already strained as Kamiya couldn't run a smooth ship, but the game wasn't cancelled until AFTER Microsoft saw the publics reaction (laughter) at how bad the game looked. That was the final nail in the coffin: the crappy looking gameplay. And what happened to Kamiya after Scalebound? He hasn't directed a single game ever since. You think this is just a coincidence, or did Platinum's other leaders realize that he was the one that fucked up and can't be trusted with a project for a while, if ever again?
>Dead Rising 4 on the Game Pass
Fuck yeah.
Outside of Ninja Gaiden and DoA team Ninja isn't that big of a hit.
Though I do wish Ninja Gaiden remained exclusive to the Xbox
Spencerchads rise up!
Phil must be planning scalebound to be live service remember during that time he was shitting on sp games
Triple A games don't sell as well in Japan as smaller AA games such as Yakuza and animal crossing. Those Dark Souls games sales wise are trash in Japan, while Animal Crossing is selling like crazy.
Even in the US those nintendo games do a lot better than those final fantasy games. That final fantasy 15 mobile game makes more money in Japan than final fantasy 15. Microsofts focus in Japan is going to be smaller quirky games they could push out every 2-3 years.
>supervised astral chain
>developing project GG under platinum himself
Why are you shilling so hard for MS?
You do know that they got kicked out because cygames thought they worked like shit?
