sugarhigh 519 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Check out VGC podcast w/ guest Gerstmann @ 15min: - Hellblade 2 and Avowed are "nearest" after Starfield. - Fable just started production and is "miles away" - Perfect Dark and Everwild "not close" - As of 2021, Playground games still didn't know what they want Fable to be - "a lot of the problems Xbox has seem to be cultural" - "insomniac are an absolute powerhouse, but for some reason [for on-paper talented teams] at Microsoft it just doesn't work" - "I'm sure The Initiative was founded 5 years ago, and everybody left last year" - "they left because it was poorly run" - If Activision deal happens, "not long" before Activision is managing Xbox because Xbox publishing ppl "not as good" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quad Damage 1,717 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 all those games were announced in 2019/2020 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 At this point, this has to be something deliberate happening behind the scenes. For a long time, I have been thinking that Microsoft is simply HOLDING or delaying alot of their studios. But for what? Maybe they don't want to invest more in GamePass until they are able to corner the market, and then they start releasing more games, as they begin to introduce higher price tiers as the "catch" for why they were holding back. OR They don't have any instructions to greenlight anything for their studios, because they're deciding whether or not they're still gonna stay in the industry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By the time MS starts to get their shit together (if ever), PS is gonna lap them twice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 When Fable finally comes out it better be amazing after all that development time, if not MS is going to have a lot to answer for.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a 7 out of ten like every Ninja Theory game. At best they compete with PS minor leagues like Days Gone. NT should revisit Enslaved tbh. Best thing they've done.

jehurey 3,227 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The real story is, what is going on with Hellblade II Its one thing if the game isn't finished, but you would imagine that they'd be providing small little teasers throughout these past couple of years. Instead we have had one, VERY short demo, of ONE MONSTER in a cave in which they run out in a dark, barren beach. That was over a year ago? I think Microsoft is trying to make that studio deliver a game on the level of a Naughty Dog or Sony Santa Monica studio game. And they are going to fail to reach that bar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sugarhigh 519 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Fucking wild that Sega's Peter Moore captained the ONLY great period of Xbox history. They started petering out in 2009 and by 2013 the rot had fully set in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are gonna flop harder than pancakes if they plan to reach the heights of Santa Monica or Naughty Dog. They’ve always been a B-tier studio good at making 7/10 games. Trying to force them to go full blockbuster GOTY AAA level is gonna end in catastrophic failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
