Ulio posted:The issue with Starfield wasn't the marketing. It had actually hype not only due being a BSG game but they did a great job showing the game and it was obviously more mainstream so there were ads in non gaming places. You are thinking current MSFT, not past. In 2018 Microsoft just acquired the Forza guys, the State of Decay folks, Compulsion, and Ninja Theory alongside stuff like Obsidian and inXile. It also was building new studios like the Initiative. The big problem for Microsoft is the double whammy of games suddenly jumped from 3-5 year dev times to 5-6 year dev times at the exact same time they started to switch gears and going all in on a Gamepass future. The goal was to have constant releases of smaller AA style games so Gamepass was always worth being subbed to, and since everyone would want a piece of the MSFT pie it'd be easy to push Gamepass onto other systems. Since previous Microsoft had gutted all their old stable studios, they'd build a whole new stable of mid range guys and start getting back to being a brand again. Instead we've had a future where basically every MSFT studio sans Obsidian has been dropping the ball with release tempo, so you get weird poo poo like Hellblade 2 basically being the only Microsoft drop since Starfield. Which means the stinkers stand out more, the average games can't push the brand hard enough, and the marquee titles are under even further scrutiny. Literally the only studio that's put out more than one Microsoft title since the huge 2018 buyouts that's been under the MSFT umbrella is Obsidian whose dropped three whole goddamn games in that time. Most of the rest haven't even dropped their first game yet. The biggest problem seems to be most of the midrange studios they bought seemed to take this as a chance to make their big dream games and expand the scope and scale to the point they weren't dropping tons of AA games but instead suddenly making huge 6+ year style games. And so here we are, with a "next year maybe" for a lot of these studios for titles that went into production in 2018. How the gently caress has State of Decay 3 been in dev since 2017? Same with Compulsions project, Hellblade, inXile, etc etc etc. If Hellblade 2 had releases in a release temp where last month we had State of Decay 3, next month was South of Midnight, than Avowed, than Halo Wars 3, etc etc it wouldn't stick out so weird. Instead it feels off because all the plans Microsoft set haven't really come together.

I even deleted that storage section under manage games and it didnt work. THis is the first PC style troubleshooting think I've had on console and its annoying. Got a small headache so dont feel like trying to skim forums and reddit rn for answers either.

I don’t understand why starfield took 8 years to make. Game should have been ready to go in 2019.

The obvious suggestion is delete or move another game off the main drive so you end up with more than 28GB free.

I couldn't figure out how they would overcome all the issues that were pretty obvious. Apparently they just chose not to.

Did they need three additional years for faux space combat? It doesn’t really do anything new and frankly I would have rather had a new elder scrolls or fallout

Meanwhile over at Capcom: https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e240509b.html Capcom Achieves Record-High Net Sales and Seventh Consecutive Year of Record-High Profits Driven by Digital Contents Business in Consolidated Earnings for the Year Ended March 2024– Achieves 11 consecutive fiscal years of operating profit growth and 45.89 million units in Consumer home video game sales, the highest in its history –

I like the conspiracy theory that they botched the Fallout 4 patch so they looked like they were doing things but people would get annoyed and play 76 instead because it was "properly supported". Realistically Bethesda is just bad at making games, but it's a fun conspiracy.

FlamingLiberal posted:I have no idea how they thought it was originally going to be ready to release at the end of 2022. It's now almost midway through 2024 and the game is still missing basic things. My suspicion is that they realised pretty late that what they’d built wasn’t actually that fun (maybe survival elements, maybe something else), so they stripped those elements out and released what they had. Which explains why a lot of the parts don’t interact at all.

Wtf is this I had the same issue when I started it up after the first update earlier this month. I solved it by going into my Xbox settings and cleaning out the cache and local saved games. Just make sure all your local saves of all your games are on the cloud before you do this.

I wish Capcom would do something with their back catalogue. The Marvel games would obviously take more resources with the licensing and such, but then there's U.N. Squadron, Power Stone, Viewtiful Joe, Onimusha, Darkstalkers, Okami, Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire, Lost Planet, Bionic Commando, Rival Schools, Final Fight, etc.

You can't have profit unless you con all your workers into making the best work they ever did, and then fire them immediately afterward. Microsoft showed us the way. The game industry must follow or else the shareholders will be really mad?

I’m enjoying the kitty cat game. How long did this take to make I wonder? Like I would appreciate some fun voice over work for some of the characters, especially birds, but if that means the project is cheaper and takes off 4 months of work or whatever then gently caress it give me text.

There are so many store fronts, so many ways to get games out there, so many different approaches and ways to re-represent and re-package old games and tell their stories, so many people in the industry specialising in doing exactly that.. Even with licensing.. everyone wants to make a buck or two. All media is owned by, like, 3 mega corps anyway these days. Just do the deals?

At least five years - the dev started posting about this game on X (formerly known as Twitter) back in 2019.

That game is so good. Although Okami got a HD remaster didnt it? The Lost Planet games are on Steam, but I think they all need an update to be playable on Windows 10/11.

Onimusha at least is likely not available because its gimmick was using real-world actors and relicensing Jean Reno is probably not worth it.
