Yea they really pissed me off
If it does turn out to be weak I hope Xbox starts partnering with better studios again for Xbox game Publishing. Stalker 2 is promising, but what about the studio, are they known for a great quality output?
Another reason why Iām so happy with the immense growth of XGS. They donāt have to rely nearly as much on other studios anymore. The only downside is the long wait.
Iām sure itāll get plenty of interest through Game Pass alone. I donāt recall Blair Witch having any issues.
They have been kinda shitty since longgggg before Cyberpunk released. Cyberpunk is the cherry on top.
I think the best candidate for a Star Wars IP is Arkane Lyon once they finish Deathloop. I think they could bring something different to the IP. The reason KOTOR was so incredible for itās time aside from being a high quality game was it was something different and offered a unique way to explore the Star Wars universe. Just like KOTOR gained Bioware mainstream attention back when they were only known by a niche of hardcore gamers, I believe a Star Wars license could bring Arkane the attention they deserve and sorely donāt get despite excellent game design.
Think of how you level up powers in Dishonored and itās switch between melee and shooter combat. I could see a developing Jedi fit into that scenario.

A Bounty Hunter Immersive Sim or a Jedi/Sith game with the Dishonored morality system would be amazing.

Yep. I expect it to be a well made game, but IMO the gameplay setup probably isnāt going to appeal to that wide of an audience even if reviews well. Itās certainly not really something that Iām drawn to want to play, and itās definitely going to be used as console war fodder. Itās also my opinion that if this game was being made by a more famous studio, the positive and negative opinions would be even more pronounced even if the game was exactly the same as what we end up getting from Bloober.
Keep in mind every game comming to gamepass wonāt sell well. It doesnāt matter because itās on gamepass. Sales donāt matter

Commercially or critically? If it reaches an audience over Game Pass it should be fine comercially. As for critical, this is Blooberās best team (The Observer team) so hopefully it works out.
I feel like Medium should have had some element of combat, hate to say it but Iām probably just going to watch a play through while multi-tasking
Their problems werenāt caused by resources, they had plenty of them. Their main problem was management and thatās not easily fixable.

Honestly canāt see the management sticking around much longer. I think Cyberpunks dev took its toll and I think theyāll accept the offer that comes in
