only one that matters is rocksteady

>Apparently
Xbox cucks always fall for this shit. Two weeks ago they were telling themselves their shit fridge would get the Sega brand in Japan.

Didn't they say whoever buys would get the dev studios but not the IPs like Arkham, mk, injustice, shadow of etc?

>Kicking the tires
>Which means they’re looking into it to see if it’s worth it

Why fucking use the phrase if you feel the need to explain it because it’s so obscure

Just say Microsoft are looking into the deal. I fucking hate everyone who has a twitter account

>NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2
No, why?
they can't innovate for shit, they have been doing the same game for 20 years now.

It's a terrible deal. There may be some talent in those studios but none of the games they work on are going to be able to be transferred because they're all based on WB licenses. The only exception to that is Mortal Kombat and... Scribblenauts guess.

Can't they buy it and immediately sell of some assets to minimize loss? Companies do that sometimes when buying things

Keep NetherRealm the fuck away from Killer Instinct. MK games suck cock.

I would buy Nether and Monolith, but 4 Billion is insane.
At that point i'll just try to poach people from those studios and form a new one, would be awfully cheaper.

who gives a shit
>nooo muh bamham

Literally who? I wouldn't be surprised if MS is looking to increase their studios, but why should I care about that twitter post?

AT&T are literally looking for someone to buy their studios. EA, MS, TakeTwo and Acti-Blizz so far were actually mentioned by TRUSTED people.
I don't think either of these will buy the entirity of WB Games though, the studios will most likely get split up and would be smart for MS to get NR for Killer Instinct vs MK or some shit like that. Or even Monolith so they no longer have to make open world shit and make kino FPS again.

t. has never played MK

WB would probably license those properties to whomever buys the studios. It's a win-win-win(-lose?) for everyone, depending on price. WB gets the money from the sale AND future licensing deals, most studios would get to keep working on what they're doing, whoever buys them gets the additional manpower and brand recognition, if it's MS, Sony is probably fucked out of the properties, Nintendo might still get some though.

>And let NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2 thank you.

kill yourself

remember when they were gonna FUCKING BUY STEAM
that was my favorite

>let NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2
I have never heard of a more horrible idea than this. They'll turn it into "injustice 3 super heavy tank time combat" just like Mortal Kombat.

>And let NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2 thank you.
But NRS has always sucked ass.I never understood why MK has fans, cause from a pure gameplay perspective, it has always felt jank.

>muh american dev!
Shut the fuck up.

We realize nowadays the only reason MK got successful was the violence and outrage. When you strip that away from the game. What's left? Some janky fighting

IMO it's a bad deal. Sure; WB could license out stuff like Arkham so that MS could still use it but that's another expense for MS after already paying several billion dollars for the studios. It also puts MS over a barrel when it comes to renegotiating those licenses; the more successful these games are, the more WB can demand for the right to keep using them.

there probably is a one year clause preventing a resale immediately. That why when companies get sold they make a release that no jobs will be affected, if you let go staff immediately from a sale its grounds for huge payouts or lawsuits.

...

Of all the fighting franchises the one that evolved the less is MK.
Maybe nostalgia and that the characters are heavily ingrained in players minds, but other than that i don't know.

>let NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2
NO

Why the fuck would you want NRS to make KI2? If people wanted MK they'd just play MK

It's only obscure to dipshit zoomers that are currently placing burning the country's history over studying for college
Yes, MK11 plays just like Deadly Alliance. Dipshit.

I knew MS would try to get them. It's just too great of a deal to pass on.

Imagine MK vs KI.

Correct, they get first preference to the IP's though on a leased basis with profit sharing. Can't imagine they buying company will do that, one or two major brands will probably get one or two games after the sale, but the main thing the sale is for the talent and technologies.

>if it's MS, Sony is probably fucked out of the properties
I mean, tough shit right? Sony has video game exclusivity to one of the biggest characters in the history of fiction on the same level as Batman.
You'd figure if they were going to drop money on studios and licensing, they'd make it competitive.

Neither MK nor Tekken have evolved since the PS1 days. They're also by far the two biggest fighting game series. Makes you think.

based

Yes, the deal AT&T wants is that they will sell the studios and the licenses to make the games would go with them, but AT&T would retain ownership of the IPs

>mk vs killer instinct
convince me this wouldn't be fuckin awesome as fuck. pro-tip:you can't

>It also puts MS over a barrel when it comes to renegotiating those licenses; the more successful these games are, the more WB can demand for the right to keep using them
That's a fair assessment, but it really comes down to how aggressive MS plans on being, which we'll know when xsx pricing is announced. Even then if the games end up being successful and WB ups the negotiating terms and MS decides to not renew, they're still left with a competent studio and WB has to try and find a new one. I'm sure there's plenty that would jump at the opportunity, but how many would be able to deliver a game that wouldn't hurt the brand?

Random question but is Dying Light 2 still being made under WB like the first game was?

Remove the gore and come again to preach what a fantastic and deep "fighting game "you have there.
don't be stupid.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with it either. Personally, I think it's be interesting for MS to have Batman and Sony have Spider-man.

>popularity equals quality
indeed think makes you

>And let NetherRealm make Killer Instinct 2 thank you.
Fuck no. I want a game about combos, not a game about trannies throwing projectiles at each other for half an hour.

See

With NR making it? It would be awful. Letting the KI team make it? The most kino fighting game crossover.

Mortal Kombat is 10x bigger than any shit instinct games.

People came to work here to make MK games and do you think they will buy a studio to force make irrelevant sequels to your gay IP?

>MKvsKI might finally happen

>Dying Light 2 was announced at E3 2018 during the Xbox press conference by Avellone.[12] Square Enix will distribute the game and provide marketing efforts in North America.[13]. On July 25, 2019, Techland chief technology officer Pawel Rohleder confirmed in an interview with Wccftech that the game would be a cross-generation title.[14]

Dunno but would explain why that game has been released yet.
See what?
MK is all about the shock factor, is not a good gaem user, sorry.

>burning the country's history over studying for college

I'm fine with this. This would be such a huge GET for Xbox.

Enjoy your Killer Instinct 2 made by NRS. With Scorpion as a guest character

>le all caps script repeat
