Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

Rare's big cancellation is Everwild, a game for which multiple trailers were shown, but which apparently had no gameplay loop figured out as recently as late last year.
That's pretty (Ever)wild for a game that spent 6 years in the oven. You'd think one of the 14 layers of management would have stuck their head in the Rare office door at some point to ask what the fuck they were doing with all that money.

That was the whole institutional problem under Phil Spencer. He basically just rubber-stamped budgets for studios and let deliverables slip. Look at the mess their UK studios were when he was in charge of MS Studios UK and Europe, and how things fell off in their North American studios when he was put in charge there.

He only ended up as Xbox CEO because the job was seen as a career-killer in the company ever since Blackley got the axe.

It is hilarious that a guy who couldn't keep software flowing at the world's biggest software company somehow sold the CEO on basing the future of the division on a subscription model for games when he had such an abysmal record for actually getting games out the door when that was his job!
 
Btw how will Xbox respond to their loyal audience in regards to Playstation controversial news about physical total nuke?

Nintendo from all companies at least did a good thing for once by staying physical.

Will Xbox going to be Sony's bitch by following the same steps? or the jet girlboss CEO would save Xbox by also staying physical?

I hope that xbox emulators & game databases of OG Xbox & 360 titles can be fully compatible to be preserved & playable.
 
This isn't a mod, it's an actual prop you can find in the UC Vanguard building in Starfield.

Show people this when they ask if it was necessary to fire people.

You moron.

Microsoft was the leader in this, most Series games don't even have the game on the disc, the disc is just a license dongle with the stub of an installer on it. Nintendo is already selling Game Key Cards, which are the same thing, but on a card.

And nothing is going to save Xbox. Jeeta was brought in to cut the fat in their games division, not to spend more money to try to keep retards like you happy. Also, learn English, you ESL faggot.
 
It's all cope because even if Xbox had 1,000 studios - they still had a whole suite of executives who's job was to do nothing but partner with studios and not a single one of them apparently asked Rare for a playable demo of Perfect Dark ANYTHING or thought they should have one inside of ~9 years.
Yeah, this is really what the whole mess comes down to. My example was mostly to demonstrate even fucking EA of all people can ram through a project on schedule and on-budget (even if it was cancelled at the 11th hour because the executive who ordered the project got bored with it, in true EA fashion).

There's no excuse for any pile of 1,000 people in a Western nation with salaries and access to fast computers to completely fail to produce a single "fun thingy wot people can play with on their 'puters" after nine years of nothing. You can put a handful of ten year old kids in a room with a bunch of shitty Apple IIe's and a single copy of the manual for fucking Apple BASIC, feed them their favorite food & beverages for a week, and they'll inevitably make a fun game by the time you check back. These overeducated cunts have no excuse.

But I don’t loathe Indians like I do the activists that are getting laid off for making DEI Modern Audience shit
lol you will once you realize they do it too. You do realize the jeets want whitey gone too, right?

I'd still love to know how exactly Phil pitched Game Pass, because looking back it's such an obviously retarded business model.

I think his presentation was one slide showing Netflix somehow remain profitable despite everything they churn out being total dogshit slop.
 
Todd Howard had an interview with Bloomberg today. Elder Scrolls 6 is at minimum 5-6 years away from being released.

Assuming it actually happens it will be nearly two decades after Skyrim.

Which I believe is longer than Duke Nukem Forever took.
 
This Xbox product manager that was a waste of space got fired today, her next video will be a 'Day in life at McDonalds frying the fries' :story:
These videos make my blood boil. Not because I don't have a nice job but because of the clear real reason these are made. To spit on all the people that they blocked getting hired or their foot in the door because of DEI hiring and ethnic/gender resentment.

This stuff they try to tell their bosses they make for marketing.
"Oh this is just showing how AWESOME it is to work at Xbox. Its a MEME people in all these other companies are doing it. You should thank me for marketing for free."

When they really are saying:
"Fuck you, white man. You didn't get the job, and while you promised them you'd work for less and put in extra effort. I got it for being mildly pretty and not being you. While you'd be passionate about the work you do and fixing a brand you fell in love with, I never liked it and I won't pretend to even care. I'm here to build a family and good vibes, and want to just pretend I'm in high school again. Look at me! All I do is eat slop, drink diet soda, and chat in useless meetings I force entire teams to go to, so I can call my preschool group activities work."

If I were unemployed for years out of college with a Tech/game degree, this shit would radicalize the fuck out of me. And I think that is the point, its lording over a defeated enemy. Only issue is that young men never got the chance to compete and had all their limbs tied together and they were held down as """oppressed/underrepresented groups" beat on them.

Good thing we have Starfield to hold us over till then, amirite?

Apparently it was just Jason Schrier and some random guy making assumptions(of course they paywalled it)

The interview with Todd Howard was back in March
IGN: Earlier you've talked about the time from announcement to actual release, and how that's something you're a little bit more conscious of now. Talk about The Elder Scrolls 6 reveal.

Todd Howard: Just pretend we didn't announce it. Doesn't exist.

This latest update comes from games journalist Jason Schreier. During a July 7 Bloomberg Live Q&A, the industry veteran was asked about Bethesda’s current progress with TES6. Schreier then reportedly revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still “2 to 3 years away at least” from being completed and launched.
Which I believe is longer than Duke Nukem Forever took.
The issue there is that ES6's development didn't necessarily start as soon as Skyrim was out. As they've also released FO4, FO76, and Starfield all as major games that weren't side projects, with ES6 only being announced in 2018.

DNF's development started early and actually went on for ages, although that's long since been eclipsed by Beyond Good & Evil 2 that started it's development in at least 2007 and still has no sign of being anything other than vaporware.
 
talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Microslop laying off the id engine staff for using ue5. i feel like paying for ue5 licenses would be better spent making one internal engine for all of xbox. but i guess people being familiar with ue5 trumps their own engine. they're now trapped using an engine they're paying a license for. who's to say the chink overlords who own Epic won't just jack up the rates for ue at some point?

This is either because of 3 things:
  1. Todd is trying to buy time for his team at Bethesda so they can avoid the culling going on right now, hopefully releasing the game in a future where his team isn't butchered on launch, (like others are).
  2. They are like other dev companies and were coasting off MS funding doing nothing for years (like 343, Beyond good and Evil 2) starting and restarting development multiple times.
  3. Because of Microsoft's insistence on hiring H1Bs and abusing contractors they finally mandated that Bethesda switch over to the UE engine. And they need to train their staff on it and try to get feature parity importing the best aspects of the CE into UE. This also would require a large reset of work as well.

I have a feeling it is a combination of all three.
All according to plan.

I know it is politics but I really really really hope that Trump's new launch into H1b fraud catches these fucks.
He already made it harder/more expensive to apply for them, but to Indians in positions of power, the company's money is just a slush fund to get more of them into the company.
