My condolences to you and your family.
Even more weird to not see the project through then though?
People leave all the time, for different reasons, in most industries so itās not a big deal but still a bit odd.
We donāt know in what state the project is. And we donāt know the responsibilities of Crystal Dynamics in the project either. Grubb mentioned that we might see something this year right?
Itās the first for many of us to see how a studio with a very small team working on a huge project works, so it may be weird for us to comprehend but the context is likely lost in the shuffle until we hear it from them. Basically, letās wait and see the result rather than doom and glooming ourselves. We survived and thrived before, itās likely to happen once more.

Not this merry go round again

I think we will see more soon, perhaps a return to TGA like Hellblade 2 did. But I have no idea tbh.
Well I said it in another thread but Iād love to see Xbox get the reveal for Dragonās Dogma 2 from Capcom (and marketing rights) if itās ready to be shown, and then possibly Armored Core 6 from FromSoft (if itās ready to show, screenshots leaked and it seems decently far enough in development).
3rd party reveals are also important for having an awesome show. E3 2018 remains one of my favorite Xbox E3s because of some of the insane 3rd party reveals that were there.
Who is doom and glooming?
Yeah. Since the announcement we basically have heard nothing but people leaving the team and TI bringing CD to help with the projec.
None of us can know whatās going on and if this is perfectly normal, but I can understand if people donāt like to see these things. Iām the same, I see this and I get reminded of multiple game directors leaving Halo and iirc Everwild too.
We can just hope all is going well, Iāll leave it at that.
Force of habit on my end. Iām used to people going around with doomsday reaction for past 2 years. If anything, last year should be a cleanser that you have nothing to worry about. Iām confident with the things going as of late, whether it takes long or not.

Yeah itās still in secretive mode hehe. Will be very interesting to see what theyāve done with the game, I hope we get to see something soonish. Guess it depends on when it releases, if 2023 then we might see something this year but if itās 2024 I doubt it.
Phil did say PD was playable before the announcement. I assume the blueprint of the game was ready and CD devs are there to help out to advance the development. Itās interesting to see a small studio working on a huge game with another developer. I canāt say itās unique but certainly intrigues me.

Yeah, well the talk about doom n gloom as soon as something not incredibly positive is mentioned is getting a bit old. Creating the very problem it is aimed against, justā¦ chill and discuss things like normal people.

With Crystal Dynamics in this project, I believe they have their own director as well, doesnāt seem to affect anything.
I also believe that The Initiave is just the āidea manā once the idea is set in motion and mostly on tracks, there should be no need for an intensive creative process.

It seems like a few folks here feel as it what he did was totally okay and that is unfortunate.
Good comment by Klobrille
And letās not forget Darrel Gallagher is there and heās been with CD for a long time.
