Fulton also briefly discussed the benefits they’ve already seen of being inside Microsoft Game Studios rather than outside.
We could talk to other studios, but it had to be filtered, you had to go through certain channels. If we wanted to find out about new technology or initiatives that were coming through, there was a time and a place for that to happen, and it was usually just behind the curve. Now that we’re a first party studio, I can pick up the phone and dial out to 343 Studios, The Coalition, Ninja Theory – we can start talking about technology, tools, all of those conversations are easy to have.
And hopefully, we can get involved with future planning for consoles and other initiatives. Even though not a great deal of time has passed since the acquisition – just before E3, end of May – there are already things we’ve had disclosed to us that we didn’t know.
The open world RPG is
rumored to be none other than a reboot of the Fable franchise. We
won’t get any concrete details about the project for quite some time, though.
