Square Enix chasing that money.
Deus Ex and Tomb Raider sales flop tell that SE is a B-tier publisher now,
Both are pretty decent game but bomba
Mankind Divided is not nearly good enough for that to ever happen.Is "where is Mankind Divided 2" gonna become the new "where is Beyond Good & Evil 2" in the future?
It felt like a sidequest. Nothing happened, it was a disaster. They really fucked this up so I cant feel sorry for them.Didn't Mankind Divided end with a cliffhanger of sorts?
I am well-aware and I realized that I don't like it. I would have no problem with this if Marvel had their own capable studios, but that's not Disney's strategy obviously - same for Star Wars. Instead they clog up already existing ones. But eh... Spiderman will probably be great. Telltale got stuff to do. EA swims in SW-money and now the CD studios get part of the pie. All fine and well, fans love it too. I think it is extra-ordinarily un-exciting.Movie tie-in shovelwares exist in mobile games. Marvel is doing AAA games that are it's own thing.
They all do. Not just SE.
Disney tried to get their own gaming studios going, but that initiative went belly-up. Now they're turning to Insomniac, Capcom, Telltale Games, & Square-Enix to fill the void. All things considered, it's a great idea to get some of the best in each companies' respective genres to make Marvel games to catch up to DC in terms of quality AAA releases.I am well-aware and I realized that I don't like it.

No they are not. I guess you ignore Hitman? Tomb Raider flopped because of a dumb business deal.
I never said it's a bad idea from Marvel's side of things. It's the best idea. I talked about why I don't think it's excited for me personally.Disney tried to get their own gaming studios going, but that initiative went belly-up.

I feel like Marvel games taking effort away from other projects may only be an issue concerning SE & maybe Insomniac. MvC is Capcom's 2nd biggest fighting game franchise, behind only Street Fighter. Telltale makes a shit-ton of franchises into games. And Insomniac likely has another Ratchet & Clank game in development, though I can understand the concern of them not doing a new IP or something along those lines.I never said it's a bad idea from Marvel's side of things.

Perhaps it'll do the series good, Deus Ex VR in another 5-6 years would be mind-blowing
More interesting is another Developer is working on a Tomb Raider game something that hasn't happened in nearly 2 decades

It definitely didn't flop but I don't think it did as much as they wanted it to, either. I think it was probably at the low end of their expectations. Also it was discounted to $40 a month after launch on Xbox and $36 a month or two after launch on PS4.Owners: 1,295,004 ± 32,370
I don't think that deal affected PC sales of the game.
Also it looks like it's selling pretty good on PS4/Pro.
What are Crystal Dynamics working on then?
Do these guys get rolled into the CD team, or is this an Ubi situation of having multiple teams on the same game?

I did my part in buying the game at launch.Sites already started reporting on this, but everything is based on that Eurogamer article:
Videogamer: Deus Ex franchise to take back seat as Square Enix focuses on Marvel and Tomb Raider
-Mankind Divided sales were underwhelming.
IGN: DEUS EX FRANCHISE ON HIATUS, SAYS REPORT
-I guess we sort of asked for this?
Sucks for DE fans!

And I still feel like they didn't advance stuff as much as they should have.Deus Ex deserves more.
The time between Human Revolution and Mankind Divided was too big.
