MMO character type cart racer.  Something like Ready Player one movie with persistent worlds.

Genuine question, but why everyone considers Shpeshal Nick as a person with real insider knowledge? From what I remember he always makes up stuff and sees what sticks. Most of his "leaks" ended up not being true. 

Oof. Hasn't changed much since two months ago.

I don't usually post him, or follow his leaks anymore, I know he has got things right in the past (which would have been really hard "guesses") but he also got a lot of things wrong, I think the biggest issue with him is that he throws out absolutely every single rumour that someone tells him and thus I stopped posting his rumours or following them (but he seems like a decent guy at least).

But this is a bit interesting...Nick's leak and this Linkedin could easily connect so a bit of speculation...Cloud game (Asobo has worked heavily with Azure), with a publisher (if they're doing a Cloud game, Microsoft makes the most sense), in early development (which would align with a 2022 early prototype).

Nick further clarified on September 17th, a week after the first Podcast.

"According to him, the studio is currently looking at how they can use real world data for this project like the did with fight sim."

👀 It's adding up, unless of course, Nick's source saw this Linkedin and invented a fake rumour out of it before anyone else found it.

Nick is literally always wrong, unless you count things he says that everyone else claims to have heard as well.

Not always but often, Lol.

These are a few things I remember him being accurate on.

He was wrong that it was a standalone expansion but he was right that it was set on the island of Ikishima, it was released as a Director's Cut expansion in 2021. As far as I can see, he leaked the island before anyone else, even a fellow reputable ResetEra leaker got mad at him for leaking it, Lol.

While he didn't leak the game, he did have screenshots of The Skywalker Saga and leaked those on his Twitter too.

I'm not sure if he was the first to leak the game but he leaked the name first which VGChronicles and InsiderGaming have backed him up on.

He leaked The Last of Us Part 1 Remake Footage.

Think he has also leaked some PS Plus titles in the past, as well as some Game Pass ones, he was also first to leak Neon White coming to Xbox, a couple months later it had an ESRB rating confirming the leak.

But, and it's a very big but, like I said, I avoid posting him, I wouldn't usually post him, because it feels like he throws out every single rumour he is told which means you have to take everything with a huge grain of salt and it makes it not worth posting, it feels like he has no credibility filter, Lol. But it is incorrect to say he is always wrong, he's just more wrong than right, Lol.

But since he is sometimes right, I can make the connections here because they DO connect without much stretching, it all looks a bit coincidental unless like I said, his source saw the Linkedin before everyone else and invented a fake story out of it.

I see, google misslead me again, it's more logical now. I think of in house engine as more akin to vestigial system from a time where engine where pretty much all done in houses as they cater to ever increasingly narrow specific needs that commercial available one can't fullfill. So when I was thinking they did the first with EU4 and then dev a in house one, it did not make sense to me.

Pretty amazing engine too considering it can go from Plague Tale to Flight Sim, Lol.
