So basically the game is in "Duke Nukem Forever" status.


More like last guardian, before this E3 at some point it was also dead


Well not really the same status since TLG always had the same developer, it was just impossible to make it work on PS4, so they waited for first PS4 prototypes to work on it



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Well, we aren't going to get game-play anymore when a project is far away from release. Developers have learned their lessons there. The smallest difference and we have people screaming, "DOWNGARDE OMFG PRE-ORDER CANCELLED," and comparing shadows in slow-motion. Never mind that game-play often has to be mocked up and really is not supposed to be indicative of the final product. If I were a developer, I'd definitely go the CGI route.



What team is he talking about? Afaik they never even told anyone who the devs were that were supposedly working on it.

Yeah, TLG Status seems a little more positive than PD status. Duke Nukem Forever seems about right, DNF was eventually released so there's still hope.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

That's is what happens when the publisher keeps adding things and not increasing the budget, if the Kotaku article is to be believed.


Not sure if I believe it considering MS's experience with publishing games.

I think they might have a few studios that develop games, but I could be wrong.

Well, some developers have nothing to be ashamed of, look at Horizon, announcement + insane gameplay at the same time .

And some others like ND can show pre alpha like the PSX footage because we know them and trust them, we know they are tech genius, and we saw a huge improvement between PSX and E3, only 6 months ( but yeah some called downgrade at PSX but it's funny to put them to shame when we see how it's really close to in engine trailer now, and should match these visuals since they have still more than 10 months to work on the game), so that can be a positive thing too if you can upgrade your game

If it was cancelled I think MS would just say so.

Also, the leaked footage was well into development.

The team who created Phantom Dust, they fired them

Yeah but if I remember correctly they handed it to another studio that began working on it but they never said who they were. The original studio that were making it is closed down now. Bit of a weird situation.
