Oh it released alright. A disastrous launch. People called when it when they said this would kill the studio. I bet Rocksteady is sweating bullets right about now.
It was a great game, but it sold poorly because they dropped the game randomly without any sort of marketing leading up to it. It's a good game regardless and sales are not a measure of quality (see: Bethesda games)
>Buy company >Run them into the ground >Shut them down >EA voted the worst company in America for doing this >Microshit does it more often and even worse yet still has brain dead shit eating fan boys who buy their awful no games consoles
moron mongoloid Black person. ES is hated because of microtransactions and because theyd tattoo LED ads to the backside of your eyelide if EULAs were legally binding contracts. Microsoft shutting down shit studios is a good thing
By the time MS buys a company it's already too late, they are always 5-10 years behind the curve. The founder of arkane already quit after prey released, mikami wanted to quit tango for a decade before he actually did, blizzard and bethesda are already long dead, Peter moleneux got a big head and quit lionhead only to regret it later. There's only so much you can do with a headless, brain dead company.
Xbox itself is a headless division of Microsoft as well
Phil is just straight up refusing to do literally anything beyond the bare minimum which means they're shipping frick all games because there's no pressure to do so from anyone in the chain of command
He actually has a decent way of managing studios which is hands off, just let them make the shit they want to. The problem is this only works if you have talented, driven studios with their own competent leadership. They bought and developed a bunch of zombie companies that need to be micromanaged like they are in kindergarten. You want to buy Devs like blackbird interactive or larian or hold on to pre destiny bungie, the type of Devs who will conjure up cool shit if left in a closet.
I don't give a shit about Redfall. Tango's the real loss here, they did nothing wrong except get acquired by the west. TEW was fun and I'd play Hi-Fi Rush when it lands on something I own. Biggest F I'm giving for 2024, frick this shit.
Hey you, game studio that's really good at making this very specific genre of game, yes you! We want you to stop doing that, and instead make something you have no experience or passion for! That'll make us lots of money.
Don't worry, I'm sure the Blade game that they're currently developing will save Arkane from all their financial woes. Marvel is a hot property right now, surely it can't flop.
>There were people who bought the Redfall $99.99 Bite Back Edition at launch only for the game to be shit, dlc cancelled and studio shut down
Post your face that you didn't buy Redfall
>Same message formatting for each studio
Microshaft could have at least tried to make it look like the studios wrote them themselves, why even bother putting the gay "thank you for playing" shit in there
If they remain they will mostly be in the french studio. I would have said killing the American arm is good to get rid of all the woke shit but the main director at Lyon is a black Frenchie who seems obsessed with race.
Deserved for redfall, sucks for tango.
F for Tango. S for Arkane.
I never played any of Tango's game, but a lot of anons enjoyed them so RIP.
But Arkane... Frick them. They've made trash for far too long.
W
you know the saying: go woke go broke.
i thought the game was released?
or was it some kind of live service crap?
they had a season pass planned but never released it I think
You couldn't tell it was GaaS shit from the first promotional image?

>Austin
How will they pay their LA tier rent now?
But Ganker told me Hifi Rush was a hit and GOTY.

Or maybe it wasn't good.
It was. A large portion of media considered "classics" either flopped or didn't make much money.
Or maybe it sucked ass and that's why no one bought it and the only thing that came from it was porn of the cat
Or maybe try playing games before you shit on them

Microsoft was the first company to allow selling micro-transactions in console games btw.

This sucks. I suppose it's the final confirmation that The Evil Within 3 is never happening.
Best time was 5 years ago. Second best time is today.
GO WOKE
GO _____
b-but pete hines said redfall would be engoodened!!!
Pete hines is a hack, just like his dom Emil, and his sub Todd.
Another Mikami bust.
This man is a fricking wrecker.
Is Platinum next?
Platinum is already dead
It's so fricking over.
So it's only Capcom, From/Bamco and Koei Tecmo left for action games.
From is a relatively new entry to the space and they are 5x the studio platinum ever was, we're still positive.
>closing down Tango
I knew MS was moronic but jesus christ, bet most of the money saved from this will go into the next 343 halo flop too
Thanks again phil
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T LET YOUR STUDIO BE BOUGHT BY BETHESDA AND THEN MICROSOFT
FRICKING WRECKERS
WHO???????
The Evil Within, you zoom zoom.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Boys, imagine if they close down Bestheda.
Do you think Phil and his jeets have the guts?
Don't worry, I'm sure the Blade game that they're currently developing will save Arkane from all their financial woes. Marvel is a hot property right now, surely it can't flop.
Why the hell would they close Tango? Hi-Fi Rush was the most soulful game of 2023 by far
It was being developed?
Ugly Art = Ugly Game = Dead Studio
>Wikipedia already updated to "was"
Shame, Hi-Fi Rush was very soulful. Ghostwire Tokyo too when you weren't wasting time chasing collectibles.
>There were people who bought the Redfall $99.99 Bite Back Edition at launch only for the game to be shit, dlc cancelled and studio shut down

How does anyone who was alive when gaming was good still play any multiplayer game in good conscious? It's literally all paypig anti-art garbage.

How much of the Dishonored and Prey 2017 team was still there? Those were the frickers I cared about.
No idea but Arkane Austin made Prey and not Dishonored
I'd figure some of them joined Colantonio's studio.
If they remain they will mostly be in the french studio. I would have said killing the American arm is good to get rid of all the woke shit but the main director at Lyon is a black Frenchie who seems obsessed with race.
I didn't buy either of these games. I'm responsible for this
Nah. GayFi Rush flopped. Shit game.
>Tango Gameworks
One more Western infiltrator expelled from Japan.
The world is healing.
