Xbox Game Studios |OT7| Killer News Here!?

Whats wrong with saying that stuff about Everwild? Jesus

Its not even a secret that its probably been a mess, the game had zero direction and it got rebooted. It being still the case after the reboot according to Grubb just proves it and its not the first or last game to go through that process.

It can be a bastion of creativity and risk-taking you couldn’t on larger scale games.

Rare has to have some structural issues if it keeps running into these issues. It’s unfortunate though because people are going to use this to shit on Xbox as a whole

The aforementioned people will use anything they can to do that. Thankfully they are just a small bubble at the end of the day.

One game in a whole decade if not more depending on Everwild. Rare need to be investigated imo.

And I love him for it. This was something we heard XGS would have back in 2018 I think that studios can do literally whatever smaller risky thing they want and some people had doubts about it. Josh Sawyer, Grounded, and Double Fine are proof so far.

You don’t agree? Let’s debate :reggie:

They literally created Xbox’s most popular new IP in a decade with 5+ million copies sold and a succesful partnership with one of Disney’s most popular IP.

Investigating a studio is pretty harsh lol. It’s not like Matt Booty is stupid or something, he’s fully aware of the issues going on at Rare.

And that’s only counting Steam sales. There’s many millions more sold outside of Steam.

Sometimes I can’t tell if people here are serious or if there just trolling because we’re a pretty lax place most infamously known for our acquisition thread and rumor mill.

Like I get it, “melt down” Prog is my “thing” people think about, but I tend to try to contribute SOME kind of point.

Like with my background in game dev, I know what low morale can be like and having reporters report on things without context sometimes just kills the mood.

That’s where I come from sometimes. Same with leaks.

I don’t disagree with this and it’s probably getting them a lot of clout inside XGS. But c’mon there’s seriously some gross inefficiency with that studio that shouldn’t be there. Rare should be a studio that puts out 2-3 games a generation.

Naughty Dog put out 2 games. Sony Santa Monica only made 1 game last gen.

Shit happens.

It’s game dev.
