What are you talking about? Are they making a separate game? Honestly never cared much for naughty dog's mp but curious if that's what you mean.

A lot of people did leave naughty dog when all that poo poo came out about them. That matters and usually signals the impending death of a studio even if it doesn't immediately happen. Uncharted/TLOU multiplayer was cool and loved so that being taken out sucks.

We do not need to have a heated Sony vs Microsoft war in here. We can easily talk about how weird it is that Microsoft is not releasing anything for their console for a year and giving the other manufacturers a head start without going into long sony championing posts and antagonising others.

Concentrate more on Microsoft and Xbox here please.

my most hyped 2020 game is a microsoft game, so let me tell you about flight sim 2020. consequently im also expecting it to be my most disappointing game of 2020. I'm looking forward to playing the more stable steam release ten years later and the lockheed martin 'no fun allowed' version which will come out in 5-20 years. (this is all in reference to ms flight sim x)


If they pull it off though, 2020 is gonna be the best year in flight sim ever?

wow its almost like i just said both rockstar and bethesda specifically and purposefully pivoted to just wringing cash out of a single title with the only difference being that bethesda royally screwed it up while rockstar with gtao hit the biggest homerun in gaming ever for milking one title to a ridiculous degree. i said that the big studios dumping insane cash into a smaller number of titles were doing it for exactly this reason, and gta 5 sold 4 times more than any other gta ever while also having an endless shelf life because they realised they could just gaas online instead of working on smaller titles like max payne or la noire that wont be anywhere near as profitable. rdr2 as their only release follows this exact same blueprint to the letter. fallout 76 was openly and blatently supposed to do t he same but they screwed it up, and the big risk of spending tons on a single title to milk is that if no one buys it youve boned urself.

literally no idea what to say about ur naughtydog post. saying uc4 was awful while bemoaning the loss of the garbage multiplayer in their games is literally an alien opinion from outer space.

ea and activision are both making money hand over fist with all their monetization and are dropping franchises due to them being profitable but not profitable enough, because stuff like fifa and ow have such ridiculous ongoing income they no longer see a need for things that dont match it. activision let bungie leave with destiny 2 because it didnt make "enough" money despite being the second best selling game in 2017, because its in game moneitization wasnt providing enough long term profit lol

Naughty Dog managed to put out an entire trilogy and another new title, both brands new series' last gen but can't repeat that because everything takes longer now and will take even longer next gen.

It's gonna be weird to see how the new consoles fill empty space now that they can't include remasters (even Nintendo relies on those.)

Gears 5 is an example of so many things.

#1. How to know what a bad developer looks like
#2. When a developer hates its core base and tries to do things to spite them
#3. How to copy Fortnite but very badly
#4. Why you can't just hand off IPs to anybody and just throw years/money at it expecting things to just work

The weirdest part of Gears 5 is that Gears 4, while in no way great, has the bones of a concept for a more fun
main enemy type that could be more dynamic and interesting and nope heres more gears except now with dull open world zones

At this stage, if MS releases a game on Gamepass day 1, I am all but certain it’s mediocre. Both Gears 5 and Crackdown 3 were entertaining for a while, but in a “Rent instead of buying “ kinda way. (Disclaimer: Couldn’t be arsed to continue with Gears after a few hours in the desert.)

You were basically at the end of the game.

Forza Horizon 4 was a day 1 and thats pretty well regarded and there was also Operencia that was a day of launch and its good too. Its just most of MS studios are firmly 85 score and down game makers.
