I remember 2016ish when they announced games day one on PC. Overall the vibe was great, games will sell more and it will lead to better and more games.
But sadly it didn't, having Gears, Sea of thieves or Halo on PC did not really increase the quality or frequency of games.... It is literally February and still no First party Release...
Also they can't handle their studios, so many seem to be just working on projects while not really releasing them or taking a long time because well they can...
Example in 2018 they announced on stage...
We bought Playground studios and they are working on a new game 'Fable still not released'
Undead labs!! 'Still not released State of Decay 3'
Ninja Theory 'Still not released Hellblade II'
Compulsion Games; 'Still not released their next game'
The initiative 'Still not released Perfect Dark'.
Anyway now we will see less reason to make games for the Xbox ecosystem and it will cost money, |
I think you are not considering 2 big factors. A. Game development takes longer than ever B. Covid Hellblade 2 would have released already, but UK covid guidelines were very strict. With how mocap heavy the game is, there was no way they could finish certain aspects of the game while this was going on. Timing of development for these titles mixed in with covid didn't do these studios any favors. |
They also used Photogrammetry for landscapes in Iceland and they couldn't send out their team over there due to the lockdowns.
