Joanna will be coming for you.


Sad that a seminal franchise stuck in development purgatory gets culled. Game must have been in pretty bad shape.
 
They literally founded this studio (in Santa Monica) as a way to compete with Sony on AAA blockbuster games, and turn around their floundering first party. After seven years they've got nothing to show for it. Hilarious.

These guys have no idea what they're doing.
 
Geezus is there anything left? Fable, Outer Worlds 2, then...?
 
You can't honestly say Don Mattrick was worse then these people surely
I've always said that the original vision for Xbox One was at least different and interesting...yeah it was a little too far ahead of where consumers were at the moment, but the vision was really interesting.


"Phil & Friends" as I call them...yeah maybe the most incompetent group of gaming executives in the industry today.
 
Too much money floating around in tech (and that includes gaming).

As people has said the past year, it's a reckoning of layoffs in techie jobs. Too many hires, too lousy quality, too much money thrown at the wall hoping something sticks. Half these MS and Sony studios shut down the past year couldn't even release one game despite years of time and budget.

At this point I'm still surprised that anyone bothers with Xbox. It's pretty clear that making literally anything else your main gaming platform would be a smart move.
 
why the fuck does Phill still has a job. How badly can you manage until you are kicked the fuck out and locked out and required to be at least 25Km away from anything Microsoft related. How much can someone fail up.
 
Meh…It was Perfect Dark in name alone, just like the second game was shit, this one would've been as well because the team behind the original is gone. Just like the Goldey remake even though they reused so many of the level designs from the original, because it wasn't the original team.

InXile's Clockwork revolution, Blade, Grounded 2, Gears of war E-Day

If again, there's not more cancellations or announcements coming..

I'm shocked Team Ninja is not in the rumors of layoffs
 
And people still want MS around to compete with Sony and Nintendo, these 2 were always in the entertainment business, but MS was an uninvited guest that wanted a big slice of what they are not great at. They really suck at what supposedly they are good at which is creating software, but they just lack the talent and passion to create great entertainment.

I was looking forward to this one too. Well, here's hoping the devs land on their feet quickly. Being fire abruptly must suck balls

Blade is vaporware. Just like the new movie
