On one hand, monopoly is never good.not inot AAA segment that much
is this good or deperesing?
On the other, good chance that these games now will appear on game pass, so you can play them without paying $70 for a game you play once.

I guess it's bad from the standpoint of having one mega-publisher. But all these studios haven't produced anything worthwhile for years. To me, MS acts as some kind of developer studio pensioner home. I doubt much good will get produced before they are dismantled.not inot AAA segment that much

Phil Spencer was wearing a Hexen t-shirt on the 2023 Xbox showcase, which I found rather curious. Such things aren't done at random, and Hexen is a weird one to foreground given how long it has been dormant and how it is nowadays only familiar to dedicated retro FPS fans.
My guess: MS doesn't have its big exclusive souls-like whereas Sony has a couple. Hexen has grim dark fantasy setting, exploration of interconnected locales, boss fights, multiple classes to chose from, basic leveling in the case of second game. So one can look at Hexen and see a vintage IP whose name can be used for a major exclusive souls-like.
besides metroid prime and powerslave, any other fps metroidvanias out there?
You joke, but Micro Kart would have some fun options. Could have Doom Guy, Master Chief, Steve, Vault Boy, Dagoth Ur, Crash, Spyro, King Graham of Daventry, Laura Bow, and Groove Champion racing through Vvardenfell's Foyadas, the Isle of Hags, the Space Cadet pinball table, the Mayan jungle, and hell itself.So, all these IPs are now part of the Minecraft Cinematic Universe. Are you guys looking forward to seeing Halo and Diablo references in Fallout, or Minecraft sword in TES6, or how about this: instead of a new Gabriel Knight game, you get him as one of the characters in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The future is bright, bros.
Now those who made that decision will get even more tax from those who buy these products. If anything that is probably what they wanted.Prices are rising in Brazil, Argentina and Indonesia
sweet, sweet revenge?

Infocom<Sierra<Activison<Microsoft. Layers of acquisition.Oh, I didn't realize it means they now own Infocom. Now that's exciting news!
I've always thought the Infocom / Sierra adventures would be well suited for VR/holodeck type adaptations one day in the future, probably can just get the AI to do that automatically soon. Good deal for MS.. I remember reading about Ken Williams interactions with Bill Gates, weird how it turned out.

Empire Earth 3
Yeah, my PC gaming magazine of choice put the review in a place where all the trash games went and which didn't get more than a couple of sentences.Empire Earth 3
There was an Empire Earth 3!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?!
Oh, it looks horrible...
It's obviously PR, but to be fair, it's hard to explain Microsoft's rescue of inXile after two disastrous releases in a row except by him being an Interplay fanboy.They've been really pushing the image that Phil Spencer is a man of the people, a gamer like us, haven't hey?
Every PR thing with him has him trying to establish gamer cred.

would be really funny if that is the reason behind graphics whoringOh goodie, now you can buy 500 Zorkmids for the low cost of 4.99 and spend them on hints, straight up solutions, or graphics for your boring text game because you cannot imagine apple.
