Looking at those IPs, I hope MS retires 70% of them. Sony no longer makes Killzone, Resistance, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal and other PS3 era IPs and thats a good thing. Lets move on.
They also need to make Bethesda way bigger than it currently is. Todd Howard once said that their fallout 5 team was like 100 people. And that was the main team. Their output is way too low for such an important studio. They have 3 big IPs now. That means they need 3 full size teams.
I would have them on a 3 year cycle.
Star Citizen
Elder Scrolls
Fallout
Rinse and repeat for the next 3 cycles at least. Their output between 2002 and 2015 is what they need to go back to. 5 amazing games. Three GOTY winners.
Leave ID Tech alone. They seem to be doing well with the Doom renaissance so if they come out with a next gen Doom in 2023, thats ok.
But the rest, Hellblade, Gears, Halo, State Of Decay, Dishonored, Death Loop they all gotta go. Go make new IPs and create the next Halo, not another Halo. Hellblade is an indie game. Ninja Theory can do so much better. I couldnt even get myself to finish Hellblade. it was basically the same game from start to finish and there wasnt much there. Gears is played out and the rest are just B games that MS needs to drop for good. No one buys consoles for those games.
An ideal year for me would be Fable, followed by Perfect Dark in Summer then finished off with a Bethesda game or Avowed and a Forza title. Thats 4 AAA games with at least 3 GOTY contenders. But they cant just have one good year. They gotta have another AAA title on par with perfect dark or Fable from either Coalition Studios or one of the Zenimax studios. And Death Loop and Dishonored aint it.
