BigBossBalrog Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Apparently Mikami (The Resident Evil 4 director) only left Tango because he thought it was safe after the Microsoft takeover Sucks. Bethesda apparently going to go through a big a huge layoff spree. Starfield must have massivley underperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's two Arkane's; the Dishonored Team is thankfully fine. Working on the Blade Immersive Sim right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all their faults, I’ve heard that Bethesda usually are pretty good to their employees by dev standards. I imagine that means things are pretty bad. Or it’s just a reflection of the whole AAA industry right now, which is basically just a less cringey and rapey reflection of Hollywood these days, and the tech center. Extremely bloated. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that’s good, I guess. But if the Redfall people are still around then my hopes won’t be high. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkane Austin was the Redfall team. Most of the Prey team had already left because the development for Redfall was so horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy thing is THEY DIDN"T WANT TO MAKE IT Zenimax forced them because they wanted to get on the looter shooter craze, and they had sunk so much time and money into it, Microsoft decided to continue development.

I’d assume that much of that pushback came from the Prey devs who quit. That’s the part which I do consider a shame, though they were good enough that I can see them finding places elsewhere. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Oh and they cancelled all further updates and DLC (that people already bought in the season pass) for Redfall What a clusterfuck. They promised an offline mode which isn't happening anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Been waiting for this for years, and it's out tomorrow. Got great reviews (and user steam reviews for early Access) It took forever, but finally there's a good Vampire game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s that, and there’s also the fact that they’ve seemingly realized the potential of cross-medium brands with Fallout’s success. The TV show caused player counts to skyrocket for all 3D Fallout games across the board. Microsoft probably realized that if they can time game launches and season releases close together, they can get some huge boosts. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
