Good game design and designers are important.
Phil has become the gaming Teflon Don...at least with MSFT leadership.
Is this a remake or remaster? What is a fair price?
Major marketing team fail on this. WTH?!
A previous poster was right, this IS the Control heroine! Love the gameplay, fingers crossed.
Would love this out for Holidays 2024.
The XBOX studio engineering team can't help?! #philFail
I felt the same way about Alan Wake 2. Six hours in and I am bored as hell... quit it.
For a seven-hour game?! Phil and team, did you even play and test this game in Redmond?!
My crusade is this: executive teams at WB, Sony, Ubisoft, XBOX, etc...are placing bets with risky AAA releases.
If these bets fail, the executives need to be accountable (i.e. FIRED) not the developers they directed.
I am not seeing this accountability at all over the last five years.
"Consumer choice is certainly a major factor – a recent Newzoo report revealed that over 60% of playtime in 2023 was spent on games six years old or older. Factor in annual releases and other factors, and the vast majority of new games are vying for just 8% of people's playtime. For context, Baldur's Gate 3 got 0.6% of the total playtime in 2023, while Starfield got 0.3% — that's the challenge developers face."
8k gameplay at 60fps... Plants vs Zombies 2024
Will it be in 8k? :-)
I sense another studio will be announcing layoffs in Q1 2025. The real villains here are the anonymous Playstation studio team who oversaw this debacle.
Worst month for awhile for me. No downloads. SpongeBob...seriously?!
Great game and loved the lead...buy it peeps!
Negative!
I bought three games (not AAA) that I thought I would like in the last seven months, but I did not and stopped playing after 1-4 hours. So I will buy a risky title, but not at $69.99. Also, certain companies like Ubisoft and EA are on my shit list, so I only buy them on sale.
The actual gameplay looks jerky as hell. FC 24 level of stutter!
The XBOX publishing team has failed on their exclusives. Those Exec and Senior producers should be canned.
