Microsoft now owns some of the greatest legacy PC gaming IPs of all time.

They now have 30 studios.

And they now own this guy who has a huge adventure game pedigree:

 

[Aguero9320]

They should, I’d kill for a new police quest (and I don’t mean kill black people ).

Sonny Bonds is a video game legend.

 

[PSFan]

We've already seen with Leisure Suit Larry that anything anyone does with those IPs will suck without the original designers like Al Lowe. They were what made that company and IPs so great, not the IPs themselves.

I think Double Fine could do an amazing Space Quest or Larry.

[OmegaSupreme]

I'm pretty sure they don't actually own that guy lol. To answer the question itd be cool but its probably way down there their priority list.

 

[cireza]

No.

 

[The Pleasure]

Man I'd love a new quest fpr glory. But the coles need to return.

 

[Fredrik]

Yes they should! Didn’t realize these were included. I think I played all of them on the Amiga, Space Quest 3 is one of my absolute favorites from that era.

I think a new Kings Quest or Space Quest would be a lot of fun. I think it should be more of an adventure game in the veins of Uncharted or Tomb Raider possibly.

 

[Havoc2049]

Leisure Suit Larry: Office Politics: The Activision Edition

They also need to bring this gem back.

Ya, Larry and Police Quest are dead.

Seriously though, bring back Roberta Williams to write and consult on a new Kings Quest game. That would be cool.

Leisure Suit Larry ONLINE!

 

[Patrick S.]

I don't think there's a lot of money in the AAA adventure genre anymore, if there even IS such a thing. I know I bought Beyond a Steel Sky, but, who else did?

 

[Warnen]

Would be nice if they put in the work to get them running on pc gamepass

 

[Bartski]

no, but I wouldn't mind a modern take on Gabriel Knight

List is missing Phantasmagoria and Shivers.

They're already on Steam. Wouldn't be shocked if MS adds them to PC GamePass.

 

[fart town usa]

Probably not but I hope they allow those games to remain available via GOG and wherever else they're on sale.

Those are the only types of games I buy on GOG.

Better start buying anything you still don’t have on GOG. Just to play it safe.

Played via Apple Arcade but eventually got bored. It’s not bad but it’s not brilliant either.

Jones in the Fast Lane

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Yes, give me Tribes 1 again!

 

[Fare thee well]

This and please save Mechwarrior ffs. PLEASE! No one has held the entire video game IP rights for so long.

 

[JCK75]

On the subject of Police Quest, the game series turned into the SWAT Series..
and I'd kill for another game in that franchise.

 

[funkygunther]

they're still making Larry games, not sure it even belongs to Activision Blizzard any more

 

[kanjobazooie]

MS does not own the Leisure Suit Larry IP. Sierra sold it off many years ago.

This person wouldn't be happy if they owned it.

Larry franchise is over "as we move forward into the reckoning of the MeToo era", no one liked the recent games. King's Quest revival didn't light the world on fire. I'd love a new Space Quest, retro style or reimagined, but.. some of these IP aren't just "dormant", they're in Shady Pines

 

[Ribi]

I thought rachet and clank were Sony exclusives

 

[The Pleasure]

Where's Caesar, lord of the realms, lords of magic, Red Baron, Gobliins and the hoyle collections?

 

[kingpotato]

Still waiting on my space quest unofficial sequel

 

[dorkimoe]

 

[Adam_802]

Phew, Sierra!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

good idea.

Sony should offer Sunset Overdrive for Spyro, Crash, or Metal Arms.

 

[Brock2621]

King's Quest V is what got me into video games as a child........ don't give me hope

 

[Magic Carpet]

As always Op You’ve been a pantload.
Space Quest 4 quip I never beat before losing the cd.

 

[Business]

Sure they will

 

[RoboFu]

They tried kings quest last gen and no one gave a shit.

I think the problem with that was the episodic release. Buying episodes sucks. Maybe Gamepass could do episodes better.

 

[TransTrender]

The worst thing about industry consolidation like this is small and old IPs are now forever locked in a vault by these Mega Corpos without any hope of revival. Not worth the ROI, too much overhead for such little opportunity (their own inefficient overhead), they'll never let the IPs go because it's a big 'ole dick waving contest of how much 'value' they can hold. It fucking sucks.

Really? I would say the exact opposite is true. All Activision has been doing for years now is just crank out CoDs every year to maximize profits. Now MS has a service that would be conducive to making smaller games to fill out the catalog.

Surely sarcasm? Space Quest maybe, but Larry? No way.

Maybe, if they can stay out of their own way.

Spoiler

They can't.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Now I'm interest! Did they say something about it?

I loved their logo, back in the days!

 

[JLB]

Please.
Space quest is one of my all time favs. I think it shouldnt be hard to do a barebones port and put it on Gamepass.

 

[Edgelord79]

I wish.

 

[BacklashWave534]

List is missing Phantasmagoria and Shivers.

Outpost 1 and 2 as well.
