Yeah, he’s lead designer. I think Riddick is a good baseline of what we should expect from this game.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the whip and platforming though. A whip isn’t all that different from a grappling hook, and that works perfectly in first person.
I still think this game shows that they can do what we want in a first person game.
Specific sections, nick said.
So without jumping to conclusions of course, could this mean they go for seperate levels instead of semi open world map like Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Possibly like Emperor’s Tomb with the seperate levels. You then have sections that are solely in first or third person.
Switching that much between levels would be kinda weird to me IMO. I think it’s much more likely that when in cover, climbing, etc the camera will pull out to a third person view.
And walking around would be first person? Hmmm.
I could see the camera pull back for certain interactive scenes (like saying running from something behind you), but yeah.
The other option would be primarily third and go first for shooting but at that point why not just stick to third?
Wouldn’t something like Metal Gear make sense?
That’s wild 30m people have played SoT what a turn around.
So many impressive numbers there. Grounded… made by like 5 people in a closet. Flight Sim… iTs nOt a gAmE. Forza… jUst a cAr GaMe.

Looks like restructuring phase is done and now open for business.
So reading the post they have up, I love that they did a series s as a barbie dream house and made xbox clothes for the barbies, but also really cool to see the controller has interchangeable faceplate. They absolutely need to do this with regular controllers or the elite so we can buy faceplate instead of having to always buy a controller. The profit margins should be higher if they can do that and they can do giveaway of new faceplate that would be cheaper for them as well.
Yes, they are hiring, but here’s what Bathrobe Spartan (legit Halo insider) had to say about the actual employee count:

More PD doom and gloom incoming…
Huh ?
Edit: It’s about the IGN article.
Honestly it’s not even that bad. After The Initiative started co development with CD it was clear that it was more or less a reset.
And that Microsoft changes their hands-off approach after Halo and Redfall is good, if the studio need help. And by the looks of it The Initiative need help.
The lack of female employees is not a good look as well, but I really don’t know if it’s the lack of interest or the hiring process.
While I understand the diversity in work field, sometimes it’s just a case of interest in take. I rather have them hire people that are really good or really thrive to develop with everyone than hire someone who still needs more practice but did it for the publicity. If there’s an outing that they could have hire some but refuses because of sexism or racism, then it’s a problem.
Considering it’s been overwhelmingly men who have worked on this project and said project has been bungled a bunch of times now, I don’t think diversity should be the first thing you critique in your post even though I know that’s not your intentions.
Hopefully they figure it out and we get a great end product from it.
Yeah that PD article sounds about what I expected.
I just, really don’t want Crystal Dynamics on this project lmao
CD are talented, I certainly trust them more on a project than what’s basically a support studio like Certain Affinity
I have my issues with modern Tomb Raider but overall they are perfectly solid games and look excellent from a tech standpoint
Avengers was a bungle but Square making them work on a some GaaS brawler was always stupid
I’m only saying one point out of it. I know there are more important points to talk about it. Just want to say it.
