Holy shit, we can one day get another hi-fi rush? Best news of the year

The fact that MS spent an entire decade fumbling the ball, and when it finally got it right and released a game people actually liked, immediately shut down the studio and sold the IP, is still highly amusing to me.

You can't convince me that it wasn't an inside job from someone who either secretly works for the competition, or who actively hates MS and wants it to fail.

Is Tango able to be salvaged? I'm guessing the Axe wasn't an instant shutdown. Great news tbh

If this deal went through in time to save Tango, as the press release states, this just must have been how long it took for the paperwork to go through.

Probably, the articles I read around the time of Microsoft's dastardly decisions made it sound like they were already closed down.

They did to me too, but maybe it's one of those things where you can't talk about the deal for X, Y, and Z reasons, especially since it might not go through.

No fucking way!!!

Sooo can we have Hi-Fi rush 2? The first was freaking amazing and when I read about the ms bullshit I was mad and disappointed. Fuck you Microsoft

Having recently played through Hifi Rush after the studio closed, it reads very differently when you know the characters who go up against Vandalay and Kale, the most corporate of corporations and evil CEO, are killed by a real life evil corporation.

This is great news and even makes playing through the 1st game more enjoyable knowing we're (hopefully) getting more!
