Not suprised this is where you want to go
Nothing to see here, just ask him.Not suprised this is where you want to go
His point is obvious. When people in leadership roles are leaving it’s a sign of trouble.They do, google it.
But whats your point anyway?
Makes sense though.
I mean go ahead, say "not good news,game is in a mess etc etc etc"
But what else do you expect people to think when we have no information about the state of the game other then that the GD has just left.
The studio is new. It has the name of "Perfect Dark" as their new game. People will see that as a failure.
I expect people to flood this post, and consider perfect dark as a failure because of this move.
As for me, MS has alot of studios. They can simply ask help from those studios to manage the project. They arent in a hurry, since the game has no date yet.
Could’ve did all he wanted to do and on to the next project.
Do you even own an XBox?The ignore thread option exists for a reason.
Isn't this the studio that's not really built to make games but to lead others to make them? they only have like 70 people who work for the studio.Be interesting to see how much of CD is involved in this given how The Initiative seems to be struggling to grow. Losing the GD ontop of that can't be good
FACTS! After titanfall I refused to work on another Xbox project.Starting to think there’s some issues. It is something I feel microsoft struggles with at their studios.
really hoping it turns out great but we will see. if there’s no gameplay this year from the big games they showed trailers for like 2 to 3 years ago im going to deffo start questioning their abilities to produce great games in a timely fashion.

They are in rebuild mode. Its not easy as other companies, which had decades of headstart.Yes and that's why they hired a external studio to help them with this project.....
Sorry...it's not that "simple" and to me atm, Microsoft struggles more with their internal studios then their competitions.
Says the guy going on about the thread ignore feature.Lol yeah, like I said, not suprised you want to go down this route
Could be lots of things, the game industry is competitive and tough. Maybe someone was doing a better job at directing then he was, maybe his heart was not in it etc etc.
Being a game director is stressful, just look at barlog at the start of GoW and at the end of it, he aged like a president and he did not want to do it again.
Lmfao! You serious? So I guess all those employees that are leaving Activision in droves are dumb too right?Closing off a big section of the industry for yourself, especially if the Acti-blizz deal goes through.
This September, when they announced the codevelopment with Crystal Dynamics, said that the game was 'early in development':When is it meant to release?

No they are that small because they aren't a true development studio, there was confusion before about what they were supposed to be. They wouldn't be this small 4 years after opening with MS's financing, they are in an area where Activision employees could easily leave and join them as well as Insomniac, Sony Santa Monica studio etc.I would think they're only that small due to how difficult it is to attract takent. I can't see having to contract out external studios to help lead developement is ideal
This is open forum. He has rights to criticize these moves. Doesnt matter what console he has.Says the guy going on about the thread ignore feature.

They were never meant to be a true development studio, I believe they are supposed to lead the creative and the leadership type of role but the actual grunt work will be done by studios they contract with.
They haven't even released a game yet and you're already making a judgement..

Well, exactly...
People celebrate their acquisitions but MS have a long sad history of incompetency in this department. The fact Spencer throw money from the windows and think to compete to Sony just buy big companies really leave me a mental headache. How many years needed sony to consolidate their studio? 15 years? I don't understand how they can think to handle this situation perfectly in such short frame time during this generation, because things like this will become even more frequent and idiot like Pachter speculate they will be capable to kill sony just with their money. Lol. Sure. Time to slowdown a bit and think more to consolidate what already they have, imo.I’m using logic here so this might hurt, MS does not have much experience in having so many studios and so many projects.
The guy worked with them for almost 4 years. That is normal. It would have been an issue, if that was for 1-2 year. Plus with high profiles they have, they can get another one easily.I don't care what the resident Xbros are saying, but this is a sign of some trouble going on within the studio. You don't have to defend every bit of negative news that comes out of Team Green.
Curious what projects they're working on. The Iniative was assembled with a lot of high profile picks in the industry. You can't come in with all the fanfare they had initially, and not be under a microscope.
Someone's gotta try to put out the fire.Thread has 20 posts and 7 are from Sosokrates . Are you ok buddy?
I'm always astounded how hypocritical these guys are. Can't wait to give opinions on certain companies, and in the same breath, try to silence any critical opinions of Xbox related news. Its the same guys doing that in every thread.Why would that matter to you? You spent a lot of time talking up the negatives of Horizon Forbidden West when you had not played it and said you had no interest in playing it. You can't have it both ways.
Have they actually said if this is a first person shooter still ?
With Crystal Dynamics at the helm, it may very well be a Tomb Raider style third person game.
Yup. MS is also really retard with their hands off methods, which also bites them in the hands later on.People celebrate their acquisitions but MS have a long sad history of incompetency in this department.

I've been fine haha.In droves? How many?
On Wikipedia it says acti-blizz had 9500 staff in 2020
Xbox game studios have about 5000 staff across there studios.
So yes, like I said if you never want to work for a Microsoft dev again you are cutting yourself off a huge chunk of the industry even if "droves" of people leave Activision.
Why would what matter to me? Thats obvious for anyone with a few brain cells.
Yeah, i dont need to buy a game to make a judgement on it. Only remidials need to play a game for 20hrs to make a judgement on it.
Yeah a fire of sony fanboys in a xbox thread.Someone's gotta try to put out the fire.

I'm more worried of the fate of companies in the medium long terms like Bethesda and Activision but will see.Yup. MS is also really retard with their hands off methods, which also bites them in the hands later on.
Sony and Nintendo had to be carefully who they buy. Develop long term investment, and buy them when its right time.
MS only knows that they have money. Once Phil leaves them, they will have tons of issues managing all their big studios.
