Speaking to Video Games Chronicle, Platinum CEO Atsushi Inaba admits they’re open to acquisition talks, provided they get to retain their creative freedom… Inaba doesn’t come right out and say it, but his answer certainly seems to hint they see Microsoft as their most likely buyer. Platinum auteur Hideki Kamiya recently made comments about wanting to finish the canceled Xbox One exclusive Scalebound with Microsoft, so Inaba isn’t the only one dropping hints in that direction....

In a new video shared on YouTube, eXtas1s, who proved to be quite reliable regarding Microsoft rumors in the past few months, revealed that the Japanese studio has approached Microsoft to publish and fund their next game.

Those comparisons are likely to stir some controversy, as the Far Cry brand has lost some of its lustre in recent years and STALKER has a very particular appeal, but Arkane’s point is Redfall is an open-world game. Not a session-based shooter with some Arkane world-building sprinkled in, but a true open-world adventure. Here’s Arkane creative director Ricardo Bare on the misconception Redfall is just a L4D-like. “It’s totally understandable for somebody to come to that conclusion....

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation’s (SpaceX) new rocket continues to suffer from a problem with its heat shield tiles. SpaceX is developing the Starship next generation launch vehicle platform in Boca Chica, Texas, as it regularly transports both first and second stage rockets to its test platforms after building them in its facility dubbed ‘Starbase’.
