EDIT:
“But the things I talked about in the conference were really both two-fold. One, how do we get more efficient? The stat I used was we’ve moved from being able to create stadiums from 6 months to 6 weeks. And my expectation is that will continue to shrink over time.

Why aren't they putting every studio they have on 1 game and release it in 3-6 months that would fit game pass

This format isn't working well

 

[F0rneus]

ActiBlizz acquisition made them retards sadly. Soon their only games will be Cod of Doody. Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

Shit I mean XBoned Era MS put out Sunset Overdrive.

EDIT. /s just in case. I got cold feet

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Reality is stopping them. No matter how much money or studios they have, those teams must know how to work efficiently. It's clear as day they don't.

 

[feynoob]

Because Xbox has this great guy

 

[adamsapple]

Because different studios use different tools and have their own projects to work on?

By that logic, why can't Sony pool all their first party projects and release TLoU Factions next month.

 

[Loomy]

You can't make a AAA game in 3-6 months

 

[bender]

That would assume you can take most linearity out of game development and you know what they say about assumptions.

 

[T-0800]

Why don't we get 9 women to make a baby in 1 month instead of 9 months.

 

[Deerock71]

Well...all their recent layoffs spring to mind.

How do you think a new Fallout is coming out so soon? Blizzard/Obsidian/Ninja Theory made it!

[Mr Moose]

Xbox promises one new first party game every quarter from now on

Microsoft has laid out its agenda for E3 2021, stating its plan to release new games every quarter and acquire even more developers.

metro.co.uk

Too many cooks.

 

[TintoConCasera]

How and why do they need six (6) different studios just for Call of Duty is beyond my comprehension.

insomniac was releasing one game per year

Now that they are all owned by Microsoft they should move to one engine

 

[T-0800]

 

[adamsapple]

That's not how it works lol

Insomniac, Guerilla, Polyphony, Naughty Dogs have their own engines. They don't all use the same tools.

 

[kazuyamishima]

It’s like Activision-Blizzard-King Acquired Xbox instead of the other way around

Crazy times for Xbox

30+ women with almost no babies

uhhh making games is not magic

 

[bender]

Nah.

 

[Bernoulli]

but for gamepass to work that's what they should do
like kojima using guerilla engine

stoopid logic + stoopid logic = genius logic

Damn what a fucking perfect response.

OP is crazy with this thought.

 

[adamsapple]

I don't think you understand how game development works.

It's taking Kojima 6 years to put out Death Stranding 2 using the same engine.

 

[jshackles]

So you're asking why Microsoft doesn't just consolidate all of their studios together, so that the combined output of all of their game developers can knock out a game every 3 months?

Have you ever tried herding cats, OP?

 

[gothmog]

Because Microsoft has become the retirement home for old developers. They get the payout, the talent leaves/retires, and then the studio becomes irrelevant.

 

[Bernoulli]

It's taking Kojima 6 years to put out Death Stranding 2 using the same engine.

i do not but if they put a big team on each game it should help lower the dev time
i'm not saying release new IPs each time, but they can do short AAA games like miles morales in 6 months

 

[bender]

I don't think you understand how game development works.

But if Guerilla was dedicated it would have taken them 3 years. If they added Insomniacs work force it would have taken 1.5 years. Throw in Naughty Dog and now you are down to 7.5 months. Add PD and you are just under 4 months. It's simple math.

Facts.

Plus, there's the issue of workplace "crunch"

 

[Gaelyon]

It's like saying all movies studios band together and film one blockbuster every month. It doesn't work past a certain point.

 

[badblue]

You can't make a AAA game in 3-6 months

You can with Sweat Shop conditions and AI support.

 

[Griffon]

That's my point
Instead of movies they should start making a TV show, shorter to make and release episodes each 3 months on game pass

 

[West Texas CEO]

Don't forget day 0 patches, too.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Not really. More people in the same peoject means harder management, and we know how good those fellas at MS are at managing their stuff.

 

[odhiex]

You just simply can't force them to make A games in 3-6 months, let alone AAA games.

 

[clarky]

Phil hire the OP, his ideas are as retarded as yours.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Just give me fucking PS5 Quantum Break

Imagine it with those haptics

 

[Loomy]

insomniac was releasing one game per year

Insomniac is a multi-team studio. The Miles Morales game took about 2 years to make, and that was largely built on top of the 2018 game. The 2018 games took at least 4 years to build from the ground up.

OP, tell me you are preteen kid without telling me you are a preteen kid.

 

[bitbydeath]

Star Citizen has been in development for 12 years, has over 600 devs, and they’ve burned through over half a billion dollars on it and the game is still trash.

Why don't they put all the backers on the development team and release the game in July?
