triggr happy ss Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Klobrille on Reset Era I think the best news coming out of this -- and people seem to kind of miss that -- they can scale to full production now and scale the project itself properly. At the end of the day, Crystal Dynamics just makes sense with Darrell having so much experience leading that team over there in the past. When this opportunity opened up, I'm very sure this was pretty much their best-case partner to work with on this project. It's not the first time Xbox first-party studios have partnered with owned third-party studios -- Relic, Creative Assembly or Certain Affinity come to mind in particular -- and it won't be the last time this has happened. Budget will be big for Perfect Dark. Building a studio from the ground up in Santa Monica isn't cheap. The top talent they hired for the main team at The Initiative won't be cheap. Having a studio as prominent as Crystal Dynamics helping won't be cheap. Shows the commitment of believing in the pre-production and concept created by The Initiative here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Nice try -First up Valkyrie entertainment has always been a support/small studio,sure as hell isn't bigger than SSM -Secondly GoW~R director never changed,it was just announced late who the director is -GoW~R has already shown trailer which confirms advanced stage of development & healthy Focus I'm guessing this am-mature tweet is from an IVG member here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to understand what Nick saying in his tweet. Open thread and check his following tweets and then use some brains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Since dayone Initiative posting they will stay small but will make games with big ambitions. https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-game-studio-initiative-talks-staying-small-staying-agile Studio of 70 to 100 people not enough for AAA. So Darren called up his buddies from CD, to speed up development of the game. Once first game is out then Initiative will have assets and proper foundation to work on sequels on their own.

SaiKO Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 You know Competition is better. M$ messed up in last gen, this gen they are on spree...and that is good. They are making more money with their services and their most exciting IPs will come eventually (it takes time). Moreover, fanboys from opposite side should be happy. Where's the fun defeating easy opponent? Challenge aayega tabhi na maaja!! As a gamer, you just sit on the sideline and get excited to play games on BOTH SIDE. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know I see no spree apart from offering content for dirt cheap so that they can move respectable units That's like the first survival instinct of any manufacturer who is/was on the verge of going out of market Yes they have made some big moves by investing in more & more studios to acquire content but it was a little too late in the lead up of the system & can hardly be labeled as a spree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not overkill as a business. I dunno what is. You can disagree whole day in IVG as much as you want. Doesn't make the fact wrong.

AnK Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I was under the impression that M$ hasn't shared any gaming division specific numbers in years If they have made 15b profit out of the Xbox division i would be baffled & would gladly take my words back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiKO Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Don't worry, another acquisition is coming. It would be interesting to see more meltdown from people who's gaming platform is restricted to particular device. 1 minute ago, AnK said: I was under the impression that M$ hasn't shared any gaming division specific numbers in years If they have made 15b profit out of the Xbox division i would be baffled & would gladly take my words back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
