I have played plenty.
2024? If it's even more delayed than expected. Likely 2027 or 2028.
Did I say they were an average developer?Playground is a quality developer and I do enjoy their games, especially Forza Motorsport, but saying they are the best racing developer "bar none" is a bit over the top.
Sounds good in theory, but if you look at the best selling games they are mostly games with tons of content, replayability or it's a cookie cutter MP sport or shooter where competition is the key factor not innovation or tight stories.
I was originally quoting someone who said they were an "overated" studio.
They are very good at what they do which is arcadey racing games, it's going to be interesting to see how that translates to a fantasy action RPG.
Obsidian was acquired in 2018 which means that negotiations to acquire Obsidian were most likely already underway when this decision was made.
Well she's confirming what has been said, scope reduced...But since we have no idea of what the scope is nor the estimated release date it still doesn't change a damn thing...And scope,date,mechanics etc... are things that moves internally and changes very often.So it doesn't mean anything while being true.
She's explaining that scope changes on every game and that its part of the development process. "Insiders" are just speculating on what brought about the scope change. She says its because they want to hit release date and avoid crunch. Rumor insider says its because of Forzatech engine and they don't have rpg expertise. Are we to believe a person that's developing the game or a Youtube "insider"?
No maybe I wasn't clear enough in my post I was just talking about the scope part, but it doesn't mean that the engine is problematic with certain features or not this is a confirmation or denial of nothing since as of now we know nothing about this game except that maybe his internal scope changed (spoiler like every game)
Breaking: Video game years from release receives edits
Playground may make the highest rated racing game but that doesn't make them the best. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing at what they do. It's just that what they do doesn't appeal to me as much as a pure track racer. Playground also rely on big brother Turn10 so it's difficult to argue that they are better imo.
Yep that's not a surprise look at some prototypes of games and their release sometimes it doesn't even look like the same game.That doesn't mean that the game isn't in trouble or that it is though.
This is one of the few studios that has regularly delivered games though, so it's really not that crazy. They just put out a game.
You need to get off console war twitter my dude
That particular episode was very cringe, with KingThrash going full incel on an innocent woman. Be better guys.
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man. My issue was with your original assertion that Playground is the best racing developer "bar none". In my opinion, Assetto Corsa is a better racing game than anything Playground has ever made, and iRacing is an even larger step beyond that past anything that Playground has ever made. However, I prefer realistic racing games, while I'm assuming you prefer more of the arcade variety, and that's fine. As I said before, Playground is a quality developer, but I just disagree that they are in a league of their own as it pertains to making racing games.
Yep. When they deliver they DELIVER. But a year without a new game is obviously unacceptable. Ms needed to be making more third party exclusive deals this year but we've really got nothing. So yeah, a bad year unless there are some big surprises in the second half.
As pointed out in this thread earlier, there are a lot of people working with Playground, with experience on the genre. Also, about the producer, what is the problem if she is just talking facts to calm people down on a silly rumour that is apparently getting a bit out of control?
There's honestly not much even coming out this year. Gotham Knights? Gollum?
Gollum is this year ?I have to admit with the lukewarm first showing I had forgotten about this game.

I mean, this is standard Agile method for project management, you regularly review the scope and remove things. She's stating the obvious and it applies to every game.
A rumor is a rumor regardless of the biased perspective people may have. But that's too much to ask obviously.
There's enough games coming for my taste but I can see how it can look dry, maybe we will have more announced in a few days/weeks
I'll be good with Splatoon 3. But I just mean in terms of third party games to get, there's actually not that many even coming out to get right now. Maybe we'll see some interesting indies I'm not aware of also.
Yep indies are often where I'll find the most fun, I got bored of Nintendo games even though I was a huge fan.
