Wormwood

New code name in town :wink:

He alluded Sony might be involved in why it longer got shown at Xbox shows

6365

They kinda have leverage (at least for the games that still come to PS4).

With PS5 and current state of Xbox, it becomes more interesting.

6366

Oh, well, back to my “baseless” post then.

6367

Who’s gonna add to the projects thread now :slightly_frowning_face:

6368

Im just gonna say it, enough with the strategy games MS

We went from not enough to too many

6369

I don’t understand, how does this make anything in anyway worse for you?!

Because id want those teams to work on a different genre? Dont get me wrong, I enjoy some strategy but the genre isn’t big enough to have this many games, at least on xbox

6371

Who are “those teams”?

The zenimax team that is supossedly working on the one Nick mentioned

6373

If it’s Roundhouse I would have rather liked to see them working on a different genre.

And it would be a project that Zenimax might have forced on to them.

6374

Doesn’t sound like it’s Roundhouse, at least if Nick’s other rumor about them is true

6375

Let’s see who first because it could just be a B team project

6376

Roundhouse is rumoured to be working on a ‘comic’ licensed IP as per this article

@Shpeshal_Nick is this the same thing you were pointing about Roundhouse?

6377

HOW AND WHY?! Jeez. Are RTS games even big sellers or fit in any way with Zenimax for them to “force” it?! You know developers want to work on different kinds of games and not only ones you like, right?

I’m not a fan of these games at all, but does Xbox have too many of them actually? Also what exactly did Nick say?

We know Arkane is working on Redfall and the other team is working on something knew, but I doubt it’s them. ZOS is making their new MMO. BGS Maryland is on Starfield, Montreal is on Fallout 76 content. No way ID is making a strategy game and MachineGames is on Indiana Jones.

I think only Roundhouse is left.

6379

Yeah the forcing is not good. especially with Xbox favouring creative freedom. This happened pre acquisition then.

  • Roundhouse coming in from a bad spot after the “closure” of Human Head.

  • Roundhouse working on a genre they don’t have much experience in.

  • Zenimax showing repeatedly interest in the RTS space.

  • Elder Scrolls RTS could very well be HH/Roundhouse biggest seller.

At the moment we don’t know who it is, so let’s wait.

I don’t think that’s a massive reach.

6381

What? I’m not agreeing with him. I’m wondering why tf would there be “forcing” to make a genre that’s not even big or thriving.

It’s obvious that some will just assume that if game isn’t made for them then it’s forced on the developers, for whatever reason.

That would be cool to be honest. I wonder what units and factions it would have though.
