Microsoft has spoken about the importance of synergy between studios when developing games for Xbox. Matt Booty, who recently took over as Director of Content at Microsoft Gaming, shared his vision.
In an interview with the official Xbox podcast, Booty elaborated on how teams within the company's ecosystem help each other. According to him, this approach speeds up development and improves the quality of projects.
As an example, he noted that the team of cinematographers from Blizzard Entertainment is involved in the creation of the new Fable installment. In addition, Compulsion Games is using motion capture technology from Activision, and developers from Rare, known for their multiplayer experience thanks to Sea of Thieves, are helping the Double Fine team with the Kiln project — a game about pottery.
