Which method you think is better, announce early and wait years to hear an update or announce 1-2 years from release with the game in full production but not updates in-between

Now a days with long ass production times the later is better

But boy do I miss the days when they would announce s*** before it entered production and dev time was 2-3 years so s*** was always coming out and being announced

How did you feel in the intermediate time then when dumbasses said Naughty Dog didn't make new games and we got remakes and remasters before this was announced

I felt like everyone became retarded since tlou2. They have constantly said they are working on something and Neil had “director of unannounced game” in his bio for 3 f***ing years now. When factions 2 got cancelled the post on twitter said “we have been deep at work on a new game for years and we can’t wait to share more”. And I’ve constantly let people know on this forum that’s the case… but nope… they are a “remaster studio”

Tlou1 remake wasn’t even supposed to be them, it was newly formed studio within Sony but they f***ed it up so much Sony gave it to ND to take over and disbanded the studio before it was even announced they existed . Done with a different team from the intergalactic team

And Tlou2 remastered prob took months at most with a small ass team Separate from this

Iron galaxy also helped on last of us pc remake it’s how I was able to tell yall they were going to remake factions too

The second

Long announce to release windows are dumb

Work from home and frankly less overtime from cheap companies has lead to many last minute changes rather than being ahead

Example @Drezo @Kr0niic

they avoid showing ed gameplay of any character until the gameplay trailer you see then he can be like wow this plays like s\*\*\*. Then we last minute scramble or they hide s\*\*\* from him

The amount of politics and stupidity that goes into making a game

The tlou2 doc opened my eyes on a lot of stuff. Like those e3 demos

Naughty dog spend TWO YEARS creating the 2018 e3 demo for Tlou2. They were gonna show it during psx 2017 but delayed it last minute by 6 months to polish it.

They were CRUNCHING for a f***ing demo

That is f***ing INSANE for a demo, and is part of why Sony is waiting till game is like 6 months out before showing gameplay demos.

?

They didn’t remake factions

That doc is one of the biggest red flags I’ve ever seen about working as a major aaa dev, everyone looks miserable the entire way through

And then as a reward for all the crunch they get their game leaked 2 months early, soul crushing stuff

Fallout 4 was perfect, more developers need to do it like that

still havent been as hyped for a game as I was after that showcase

Do we know how long this has been in production?

Thinking we’ll get it 2027

4 years

How long until America has a South Korean style insurrection because of druckmans stylization of women in his games

They started it and canned it
Iron galaxy is Chicago

All that s*** real gang it’s why I smoke again I quit entirely then at Netherrealm returned . I quit again when working with kids this year

Then when I came back in April smoke again m

The level of incompetence requires it . Nerds be like a spiteful girlfriend or boyfriend to each other

They will destroy something before admit wrong

Some great managers but my black boss was going off on them for lack of quality control and how complacent they got on quality . We can bug something and they say “ good enough “

my issue is that ts is just gonna be as corny as guardians of the galaxy

I don't think this will be mid

I cant imagine Bethesda and naughty dog dropping the f***ing ball on their sci fi rpg's a couple years apart.

I don't think naughty dog has ever had a bad game tbh.

uncharted 1

I don't know why skyrim was so well relieved. The quest structure and writing were poor and the gameplay so bad that everyone became a stealth archer so they didn't have to engage with it

One of those had to be there games. Good graphics not as buggy oblivion. was good s***. yet i agree with you that its not thaaattt good

I think the s*** that would bum me out is being abandoned on one planet whole game vs vairous environments

would love if each planet was a boss or bosses in a MGS way of each one having a theme or being a different religion ( obviously be careful which whatever one is inspired by islam)

or do indian deities like asura wrath style
