We aren't getting anymore tony hawks.
Tony Hawk Confirms Plans for Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remake Were Abandoned After Blizzard Merger - IGN
There’ll be a lot more than just 96 quite bitter beings about this one.

It was based on his points. Use your head and actually read what was being discussed. I never said decisions would be based on what gamers want. I said the average gamer couldn't care less about how Microsoft have acted in this whole thing. Or Sony. Or Nintendo for that matter.

Probably. MS is still very outspoken (and almost appears desperate) and ABK seems to have calmed down. Except for Mr. Spencer. He has been quiet too. I'm not sure if he chose to step back or if he was reeled back by someone at MS. I do wish he would still talk about games (not ABK). He talked too much at times but I kind of miss the "Phil says....". Maybe he rolled up his sleeves and is hard at work getting some MS studios/properties in line for next weeks show.

And there are rumors that another Tony Hawk is in active development.

Link? As far as I know, Tony hawk said it's not because activision couldn't find anyone other than vicarious to do it. And vicarious are now in the call of duty mines.

Why post well thought out posts when you are throughly content on poor attempts at both sides while obviously sucking off one side in a clear and blatant attempt to ruin gaming?

Ignore list doesnt do anything.

Correction: there are rumors about a new Tony Hawk game in development that'll be an F2P live-service this time. I'll edit my original post.

No. It's a tool to ignore cretins who use personal attacks first. Rather than forming a rational argument. My ignore list is actually not that big. 7 now in fact.

Yeah, MS doesn't care about their old IPs but the first thing they would do after buying Activision would be to start the development of a new Quest for Glory or Gabriel Knight.
Right....

No wonder warrior's arguments always come off as being digested through an echo chamber feed tube.

Space Quest, Police Quest, Phantasmagoria, Lode Runner, Lords of the Realms, Hoyle games (card, board, etc, I was completely addicted to these) and King's Quest (I'm playing the "new" one now).
I miss all of these.
Modern games often feel so shallow in comparison

Absolutely love the absolute blind hope that MS would somehow run ABK better than ABK has been run so far, and that they would somehow stop them from doing what they are buying them for to bring some dormant IP back in any meaningful way.
Just completely tone deaf and ignorant to the reality of MS management for what, 15 years? It's hilarious.
These "fans" don't even play COD, or any ABK games aside from Diablo maybe. It's also giving the Xbox fan community absolutely nothing of what they have been begging MS to deliver in terms of first party.
It's about everything it means and nothing to do with the game you get to play on gamepass.

It's the fanboy tards being giddy at the takeaway game making their delusional perceived enemy smaller, instead of holding their beloved brand to task from their own failures.
Gaming's Stockholm syndrome.

Plus they could free Vicarious Visions from the COD support studio prison they're in. More Tony Hawk remakes. A Morrowind remake. New Vegas remake. Those guys are beasts. It's a goddamn shame they're cranking out cosmetics for COD or whatever it is they're doing.

I have played more cod than you. It's about getting the games on gamepass. If Sony had a gamepass competitor on console and pc, and was looking to buy abk. I would support it because I want cheaper games lol. Along with all the other gmes abk produce. It's nothing more than that.

A fanboy for saying I support the deal purely on the basis of getting games cheaper. Yea ok

You don't think that Gamepass and subscriptions could also cause a significant price increase in pay to play? What is the best way to increase the perceived value of a service? .... Make the standalone RRP for a game higher.

Kenichiro Yoshida reinforced Jim Ryan's position.
Kenichiro Yoshida
"I think cloud itself is an amazing business model, but when it comes to games, the technical difficulties are high"
Yoshida also pointed to the costly inefficiencies of cloud gaming, where servers are idle for much of the day before having to cope with the high levels of traffic of gamers playing during the evening or "dark time"
Jim Ryan
"Microsoft has a structural advantage in cloud computing services. Microsoft's success with Azure and Windows will give it opportunites to undercut SIE on cloud streaming.
As Phil Spencer remarked: "We have a ton of respect for Nintendo and SIE, but we see Amazon and Google as the main competitors going forward. Traditional gaming companies are somewhat out of position"
"Since then, Google has announced that it is closing its cloud gaming service, Stadia"
"Amazon, for its part, has struggled to gain traction in cloud gaming"
"The only way to preserve competition is to ensure that Activision remains independently owned and controlled"
SIE expressed concern about how the deal would affect competition in cloud gaming. They wil soon reveal 'aggressive' plans.
PS Plus Premium (8 million subscribers), ranks second in cloud gaming.

Good post. He didn't say it "wasn't a threat" just that it's very difficult. It's not a market just anyone can jump in to. It really makes you wonder how a cloud only future could handle a big game launch like CoD. Has MS ever said how many gamers they can service at once on xcloud?Kenichiro Yoshida reinforced Jim Ryan's position.

They can.
All they need to do is send Phil Spencer to PS and Phil Harison to Nintendo.
