Support NeoGAF

[Wolzard]

I don't even know who that is. Some demonic woman living in the dark towers of Microsoft headquarters?

Microsoft's CFO. She's the one who releases budgets or orders them to be cut.

Listen to this. How is this day even happening 5 months after this talk?!

Unfortunately this isn't surprising or uncommon for Xbox. The brand is sort of known to just completely mislead people. Just like they wanted me to believe the cloud was going to save the Xbox one.

Seems like any excitement can't last more than a month. There is always a backlash with negative news shortly after they've had some excitement. It's a digital roller coaster. 1 or 0. Never something in between.

The same way this happened

 

[NahaNago]

I'm surprised it wasn't cancelled a long time ago. It felt like it should have been considering how little we ever heard about the game.

 

[Mattyp]

This one is more than expected, 8 years of development and we've seen nothing but a single cgi trailer.

I hope money being spent at RARE has just been for SoT otherwise the people in charge there need to be sacked.

 

[Fluffytheterrible]

Let's remeber that between 1997/2001 Rare developed on N64 Blast Corps, GoldenEye 007, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, Mickey's Speedway USA, Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

What a legendary studio, they also did Star Fox Adventures and Kameo Elements of Power which while not up to the standards of the games above, were still a good time. It's dead, Rare's dead, Xbox's dead, Zed's dead, it's freaking over.

 

[BoxFresh123]

One of the least surprising bit of today's news

 

[RetroGamingUK]

So is Rare just a small Sea of Thieves support team at this point?

 

[Guilty_AI]

More like Neverwild eh?

More like Neverwild eh?

I do wonder how far into development it got.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I do wonder how far into development it got.

5+ years. So quite far in dev.

The game had no combat and that was one of the hooks.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Huh, I was thinking about this only a few days back.
Not surprised.

 

[Superkewl]

I was actually looking forward to this. Too bad

 

[simpatico]

I know it doesn't comport with feelings and modern online meta sensibilities, but when are more people going to realize that the developers themselves hold a big piece of the blame for this crash?

 

[Jesb]

Microsoft just tells lie after lie. How do they expect their brand to mean anything at this point.
