Great, so people see that it's overwhelmingly positive, buy it, and all the money goes to microsoft and steam since the devs arent around. People thinking they're helping the studio when they're just lining microsofts pockets.
Hi fi rush had a 5 year dev cycle with only the first year being small. it also has a lot of licensed rock tracks which costs money too. Unfortunately sales matter most in modern gaming.
The sad thing about this is it was shadow dropped because of Starfield. The parent studio is Bethesda and if anyone knows our save and grace Todd Howard, he hates being outshined
So many people are missing the point that Tango was shut down due to the fact that the founder Shinji Mikami left shortly after Hi-fi rush came out. Many of the other developers followed him in leaving the studio. He was the driving force behind the studio and without him Tango was a chicken with it's head cut off.
The reason it stood out to me was 1. Rhythm based fighting, 2. It’s a small game. 3. It’s a small game WITH A POLISH DUB 🇵🇱 and 4. Why did Xbox shut them down?
"What are we even doing anymore" exactly, friend. Couldnt have said it better myself. Corporate morons and "profits before people" have destroyed so much art, so many enjoyable experiences. Its evil.
At this point the best thing you can do if you don't own Hi-Fi Rush is wait for it to be placed on sale for very cheap or outright free show Xbox they can't make money off of games if they're gonna turn around and fire the people responsible for them.
What they really meant to say was "The prime goal of the team making this game is not making us money" But hey, if I'm wrong, it's up to them to prove me wrong
That game literally dropped out of nowhere last year and was just simply awesome. As most of the games from Tango! And they freaking closed it! And after that they dare to say they care about players and not their wallets
It's one thing for Sony to force PC gamers to have a psn account to play their titles on multiplayer but what Microsoft is doing feels more blood boiling couse this is affecting more gamers and the teams that makes games combined.
If there ain’t a sequel then I’m gonna be mad because Hi-Fi Rush was fun asf 🤩 I loved the blatant humor and sarcasm scattered throughout the game was a nice touch to the rhythm based style. 😁

That’s exactly what they’re doing it’s to shrink the overall market not for control of output but for price control
