It's leak time.
Microsoft and Game Freak are developing a new IP, with Pokémon-like characters. They are planning to release the first game of this series, code-named MONSTERSEISEN, in the later half of 2017: however, it won't be Pokémon or Yokai clone, it will be a MOBA, exclusive for XBOne and Windows 10. It's Microsoft plan to enter the Asian videogame market.
They are also developing a single player, smaller companion game for smartphone and 3DS: code-named MONSTERGAIDEN, it will be a mix between Diablo and Monster Hunter: think a MH game with Diablo-lite gameplay. I'm part of the European translation team of this game and it will launch WW in Spring 2017. Everything should be officially revealed around September.
MS and Game Freak are both very keen to make this a multimedia franchise by 2018. In particular Game Freak want not to be seen anymore as only "the Pokémon team": Tembo was a small test, this is the first major step.
>>342231461
Ah, the "let's make clones of popular IPs" strategy. That sure worked out for Sony.
>>342231461
>Game Freak want not to be seen anymore as only "the Pokémon team"
Then maybe they should make more good games like Drilldozer and Harmoknight
They should also make pokemon games that aren't boring as fuck.
>>342231461
>it will be a MOBA, exclusive for XBOne and Windows 10
Trying to enter MOBA market is a fool's errand
>>342231461
Wow, cool blog post bro. Maybe you can quit your job and focus full time on killing yourself.
Source or fuck off.
>>342231745
You just have to not market the game as a MOBA, like Overwatch
>>342231461It's Microsoft plan to enter the Asian videogame market.
Hahahahahahaha.
Have you seen Xbone sales in Japan? Remember the launch?
>>342231461
Game Freak should put some weight behind pokémon and change it up. It could become their own playground for new gameplay ideas.
But it's probably Nintendo that's holding them back. So I guess this should be an ok first step.
>game freak sells their shitty ideas to microsoft just like they sell their rejected pokemon designs to level 5
>>342231850
True. Overwatch is also the first of its kind if you don't count the farce of Battleborn. Blizzard hit a good niche that everyone else had left untouched.
Blizzard has a big fanbase behind itself, that alone is almost enough to guarantee the success of a game released by them, at least from sales perspective. Few devs have this advantage.
>>342231763
I'm the source. Can't prove it or I'll really have to quit my job and kill myself. Obviously you are free not to believe me.
>>342231917
MOBAs are quite big in Korea and China. Japan is just a small spart of Asian market nowadays.
>>342231850
But Overwatch isn't a MOBA to begin with. It'd a team orientated FPS.
leak me some backwards compatibility info
>>342232254
It does take some influence from MOBAs, namely the abilities and how teams are structured
>>342231551
When has sony ever done this?
>>342232175
OP there's QT 10/10 like every pokemon game?
>>342232830
Dayz clone
>In particular Game Freak want not to be seen anymore as only "the Pokémon team"
So they go and make a game that is exactly like the Pokemon.
>>342232830
uncharted is a male tomb raider rip off
>it will be a MOBA
And my intrest is gone.
>>342232830
Playstation All Stars
That waggling move game
Resistance
Killzone
Uncharted to some extent
>>342232881
Which?
>>342232954
It sells more than tomb raider, so even if you consider it that incorrectly, it actually did work out well.
>>342233081
Party fighting games existed for years.
Which?
Of?
Of?
See above.
>>342231850
Overwatch is heavily advertised though. Ads on YouTube and other websites, huge paintings on a building in Melbourne, billboards and posters, at game stores, etc.
>>342233081
Don't forget Little Big Planet Karting
>>342231461
>XBOX AND WINDOWS 10 EXCLUSIVE
>>342231461
Your story sound plausible until the 3ds part. If this does happen for Windows 10 and XBone, there is no way Nintendo is helping them by letting a companion game on 3DS from a rival like that. Minecraft is different since it is a multiplat
>>342233081
>Mention Resistance and Killzone
>Forgest the biggest Halo killer
How autistic do you have to be
>>342233242
sales doesn't change what a rip off is.
They still don't fucking get it, the asian market doesn't want xbox, will never want xbox and will eventually stop making games for xbox.
>>342233592
>Ah, the "let's make clones of popular IPs" strategy. That sure worked out for Sony.
>>342233332
Party racing games have existed for years.
>>342232830
Freedom Wars
SSD
ModNation Racers
Killzone
>>342231461
my god it's the game of the decade microsoft has truely won july (7x3)
>>342233242
Stop embarassing yourself man
>>342233908
Of?
Of?
Racing games have existed for years.
Of?
>>342234023
That's not even Sony's game, stop embarrassing yourself man.
>>342234098
>SOE
>not Sony
Why would you bait when everyone there got too much free time anyway
>>342234393
>SOE
Its made by daybreak. Why would you bait when everyone there got too much free time anyway
>>342234528
You are tearing me apart anon
>>342232096
More like ideas that Nintendo is too old fashioned to capitalise on
>>342233242
Its obvious how All-stars was made in response to Smash.
Just like CTR was made in response to Mario Kart and then they tried again with LBP racing.
The whole move thing.
The we want the monster hunter audience games.
>>342231461
>They are also developing a single player, smaller companion game for smartphone and 3DS
>Microsoft
>3DS game
Yeah, no.
>>342234098
Monster Hunter tech demo
Monster Hunter
Mario Kart
Halo
>>342233619
They used to like it for Idolmaster back when it was exclusive.
>>342233619
Well they are also focusing on their PC market a lot more. Which is good for markets like China and Korea where the PC is far more popular than any console.
They still don't have a chance in hell in Japan though.
>>342233445
Definitely not. No way no how. Blue dragon, mechassault, and viva pinata DS don't exist and Halo DS was definitely not being made.
>it will be a MOBA
>exclusive for Xbone and Windows 10
A) Asians hate Windows 10 more than we do and Xbox simply isn't a thing over there
B) Who is this supposed to appeal to in the first place? The casual shits that buy Pokemon don't want to play action games and the hardcore fanbase that plays action games isn't going to another game just because it has GF's shittastic modern Pokemon designs.
>>342231461
>MOBA
>exclusive to W10
This is so impossible it hurts.
>>342236672
It's not impossible, but it IS a death sentence for your game.Just like how GFWL was a death sentence for games like Universe at War and Shadowrun.
>>342236543
Forgot age of empires and zoo tycoon. No chance in hell ms releases a game on ds. Or pay for other games to be rereleased like Diddy Kong racing ds
>>342236657
>Asians hate Windows 10 more than we do
Source?
>>342235803
>Viva Pinata on DS
>Banjo on GBA
>Minecraft on Wii U with exclusive content
haha yeah microsoft would never let one of their assets on another company's platform.
>>342236897
>>342237340
There's a difference in what you both have listed, those are not new EXCLUSIVE IP for Bone and 10 as listed by OP. It would be like Nintendo releasing a Breath of the Wild companion game on Vita. You don't release another game from an EXCLUSIVE IP into your rival's systems, learn to read
>>342238352
No, you're still fucking retarded. Those are MS owned IPs released on a Nintendo system, even being developed by MS studios at times. Microsoft doesn't have a dog in the mobile games market so they release it on the far more popular one (ds/3ds). Combined with GF's familiarity with 3ds it makes sense. Your example makes no sense because Nintendo has their own handheld and haven't released their own IP on psp/vita before.
>>342237340
Rare owns Banjo and Viva piñata, Minecraft was multiplat long before MS bought Mojang and I think the Wii U version was in the works prior to that as well.
Why would Nintendo settle for some 3DS spin off and not want a full Wii U/NX game? Makes no sense, especially since it's Gamefreak.
>>342239139
>Rare owns Banjo and Viva piñata
Holy fuck
And Nintendo doesn't own GF. they could deny a game being published on 3ds but they are just losing out on money at that point
>>342232954
No he's an Indy rip off. Uncharted is just cover shooting and ledge climbing. Pretty much zero puzzle solving involved.
>>342231461
>In particular Game Freak want not to be seen anymore as only "the Pokémon team":
then why make "Pokemon: Teen Edition"
>>342235504
Good thing CTR is better than the older Mario Karts
>>342238737
You are not understanding retard, if they were multiolats from the beginning or turned into multiplat along the way it does not matter, the point in hand is he started rambling that the release was EXCLUSIVE and then follows up with companion game bullshit which is ok as a PC or mobile release but a 3DS release would be the total bullshit part. Is this clear to you know or do you need a third go, retard? The Nintendo example was showing exactly why it is bullocks
>>342240070
Viva pinata is an Xbox exclusive with a companion game on ds
Blue dragon is an Xbox exclusive with a companion game on ds
You are the retard
>It's another "Microsoft tries to make Japan give a single fuck about Xbox" episode
>>342231461
>It's Microsoft plan to enter the Asian videogame market.
I don't know if this is bullshit or not, but Microsoft seriously needs to give up on Asia, or anywhere that isn't NA or the UK for that matter. They got Idol Master and a series of RPGs from the fucking creators of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest for 360, and that resulted in a level of enthusiasm about on the level of a wet fart in Japan. It doesn't matter how many times Bill Gates poses in pictures with hamburgers, they only want GUHRORIOUS NIPPON consoles that have been folded over a thousand times.
>>342231461
the companion app seems to be 10x more interesting than the moba trash
>>342231461
>a new IP, with Pokémon-like characters
>MOBA
So does that mean monster waifus?
>>342231461
>MOBA
>>342233242
>Sonyniggers
Theyve blinded your brain waves you poor thing
>>342231461
>MOBA
Fucking disgusting.
>>342240362
A companion game would be something different like a coin collector or life gatherer not a full game, that would make it a multiplat and no longer EXCLUSIVE, retard
Fun fact: Due to GameFreak's contract, they technically CAN do something like this, Tembo being an example.
>>342231461
>gamefreak doesn't want to be seen anymore as the company with one of the biggest IPs in the world
lol?
>>342241268
Fuck, you are dumb. VP pocket paradise is a companion game. Exclusive doesn't matter when the IP is owned by Microsoft. You have no idea how IP works or what it even is and just keep using the word exclusive as an end all be all. Retard retard retard please learn what IP is and how Microsoft has used their own property, which includes Rare, on Nintendo handhelds. Anything released on a handheld is going to be a companion game to a full console game and your Zelda analogy just shows how much of a dumb piece of shit you are
>>342231461
>Microsoft has the money to make a Dragons Dogma clone
>Microsoft has the money fund, pay and publish Dragons Dogma 2 from Capcom
Instead of makes a Monster Hunter clone MOBA.......someone end now!
>>342231461
>using words like exclusives when referring to more than 1 thing
When will this retarded meme end
>>342231461
>LoL is the most popular MOBA, with DOTA a distant second
>Blizzard's MOBA can't even put a dent in the big two
>Microsoft still considering a MOBA after watching BLIZZARD fail at it
I don't even. Just accept that LoL is the WoW of MOBAs, and that won't change anytime soon.
>>342241957
xbone runs windows 10
>>342241554
Everybody knows Game Freak is an independent studio not owned by Nintendo for a long time, they have been making games for other platforms ever since Pulseman.
>>342241957
Because it'll be exclusive to the Windows Store, which means Microsoft will still get the money.
>>342236124
Why do Japs have such shit taste in games? Of all the reasons to buy a 360, fucking idolmaster.
>>342242131
I highly doubt that. Most people don't even know Nintendo only owns a third of Pokemon, or that Creatures isn't just a name. When Tembo released you had people acting confused or wondering if GameFreak was going 3rd party.
>>342241746
On top of this, Phil Spencer has been EXTREMELY open about wanting to work with Nintendo.
I don't believe OP, but the part about a game being on 3DS is totally realistic
>>342231461
My wife's son is Phil Spencer's Twitter proxy and this is real.
