Hasn't MachineGames released three turds in a row?

Technically only 1, MachineGames have developed the following...

  • Wolfenstein: The New Order - 81 Critic Average
  • Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - 78 Critic Average
  • Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus - 87 Critic Average
  • Wolfenstein: Youngblood - 67 Critic Average
  • Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot - 49 Critic Average

Youngblood was co-developed with Arkane, a spinoff and a co-op title. Cyberpilot was led by Arkane and assisted by MachineGames, a spinoff and a VR title. They both released in the same year and only two years after Wolfenstein 2. I don't think we can hold either of these two games against MachineGames or Arkane, they come across like rushed projects and Zenimax telling them to "go do VR/Co-Op"

Add on them being spinoffs, them being outside of Arkane and MachineGames wheelhouse.

Even The New Order and The Old Blood are generally considered as being underscored by reviewers in the same way Prey was.

Indiana Jones is more back to what MachineGames knows, an action-adventure, single-player only, story focused game.

Also, I'm fairly certain Shinobi is speaking from knowledge, he has industry sources, he works in the industry even, he doesn't tend to leak stuff but when he does he is usually very spot on, he has been teasing Indiana Jones a little bit lately, he knows when it's releasing, he knew it would be at the Direct, he has likely seen it first hand.
