>>719649774>Perfect Dark was UncancelledOh no...>Then Cancelled AgainPhew. Thank God.
>>719649909joyless and miserable incel take, as per usual.
>>719649774Good. Microsoft owns that IP and Perfect Dark is a console exclusive IP. How buckbroken are you over this nsilvias since this is your entire personality?
>>719649774This would never have happened under Nintendo.
I was excited for it...
>>719649774OP is a faggot. He wanted the awful shitstains that ruined so many games before to RUIN another beloved game.GOOD! Let old games lie in peace. They don't need to be revived.
>>719649774>jew makes a post on twitter>bot immediately reposts it hereEvery day with this shit.

Oh, sure, it's lack of funding that's the issue rather than Crystal Dynamics and the Initiative being completely dysfunctional adult daycare centres.
the ultimate reason its cancelled is because their pitch FAILED. not once but TWICE. the microsoft ue5 demo didnt impress them so they cancelled it. they had another demo shot with take two and they werent impressed either. basically ue5 games are a no go unless you wow their socks off but its almost impossible now unless you're a big name like cdpr or kojima.
isnt this the guy that was twerking for veilguard? lmao
>>719649774Looked like shit. The gameplay showcase pretends to be some kind of branching paths imsim but it's very clearly a linear shooter, which would be fine if it wasn't pretending so hard not to be
>>719650290
>>719650126Microsoft created a new studio, poaching talent from other game devs, spent what is comfortably within 200 million dollars for a "AAAA game" (yes that is THEIR PR description of the Coalition Studio), and after nothing but vertical slices they cancelled the game. Pre-production and full production timeline is 6-7 years. This is Microsoft's near equivalent to Sony's costly Concord (rumored to be 300 million dollars). Both Sony and Microsoft's studios in Washington state cost a lot of upkeep like California for NaughtyDog. Heartbreaking news to troon fanboy nsilvias and uzzy.
>>719649774Every bloomberg "secret industry insider" story from Jason these days is just "the project was cancelled and half the studio was laid off" lmao.
>>719650371Imagine the sons she could birth...
>>719650371the worst part is this is 100% cgi. she didnt need to be this ugly in real time. this was done on purpose with long time consideration and planning.
>>719649909kek fpbp /thread
>>719649774what do you even do with this series in 2025? open world slop? kart racer? hitman but with ayylmaos? seems like some retards are just going to put out AAAA slop and hope it sells because its tangential to a game they've never even played.
>>719650498>>719650414Perfect Dark Reboot project was headed by Coalition and sister support studio Crystal Dynamics. So it wasn't just Microsoft's own newly created 1st party studio going down but also Crystal Dynamics contract. Crushing devastating news to troon nsilvias uzzy.

>>719650126Perfect Dark (N64) is amazing with that PC mod. The game is genuinely challenging on it's hard mode and the mouse+keyboard controls are tighter than most actual PC games. It's crazy.. I play the shit every weekend.
>>719649774No one wanted this.PD was never good and this would have been shit. Even if you were a PD fan, deep in your heart you knew it would be shit. Dark Ages was shit and that's Doom. This would probably have been disastrous.
>>719649774When the fuck do we stop winning? This is a bloody humiliation ritual at this point.

>>719650551Of course she needed to be this ugly. Some woman working on the game would've been offended if the previously attractive protagonist of a popular series looked better than her.
>>719649774Looks like we dodged a bullet here.
>>719650810It's been decompiled? I'll have to check it out
>>719650686you cancel it anonthe remake/remaster meta is at the end of its life, the kids don't have the nostalgia for these 20-50 year old IPs, they aren't playing games in order of console release appreciating games in the era of their limitations, they are playing fortbloxslop and not thinking at all about buying some old IP their dad used to play that costs $80
Here we go https://www.ign.com/articles/xboxs-perfect-dark-reboot-is-still-years-away>At The Game Awards 2020, Xbox unveiled a new game from its fledgling studio The Initiative: a reboot of Perfect Dark.>And while a new partnership with Crystal Dynamics appears to finally be bearing fruit, multiple sources who have worked on the game recently say that Perfect Dark is still “in the earliest stages” of development, estimating that it is still roughly two to three years away from being ready for release.>Microsoft announced the acquisitions of Ninja Theory, Playground Games, Undead Labs and Compulsion Games,as well as the opening of a new studio in Santa Monica, California, entitled The Initiative, which would be led by the former Crystal Dynamics studio head Darrell Gallagher.tldr; Microsoft creates The Initiative in 2018 to make Perfect Dark Reboot. They have Crystal Dynamics assist as it was a newly created studio. They only had CGI trailers and one vertical slice proof of concept to show to the public. 7 years and the studio is closed with no game. I confused The Coalition (Gears of War) devs. Microsoft has now rebranded 343 Studio as just a Halo Studio. Tranny nsilvias and Uzzy cry out in pain.
>>719651065>7 years and the studio is closed with no game.thats the crazy part. the studio should have shut down by year 5 with no game. microsoft was kind enough to give them 2 more years and they still couldn't deliver.
>>719650414>if we just collect all of the die-versity, all of the women, and all of the useless eaters+mentally ill freaks in one place, and pay them infinity money, they'll make the greatest game EVER!i see that CEOs have failed to realise that the old gag about 1000x monkeys on 1000x typewriters wasn't actually a viable technique to make something worthwhile.
>>719650984>i niggardly chuddered at the thought
>>719649909Based. FPBP
>>719651164They couldn't even make a real vertical slice in that time.
>>719649991You will never be a real woman, clown.
>>719649774you are a retarded subhuman shill
>>719650290The article said they couldn't agree on ownership of the franchise. My guess would be that Take Two and Embracer wanted full ownership but Microsoft said no.
>>719649774Nothing about this was Perfect Dark, so good riddance.
kill yourself jason
>>719651164Starting a studio, putting money into a new game, paying off another studio (Crystal Dynamics) to assist, then just shut it all down after 7 years is so fucking crazy to think about lmao. This is like Concord.
>>719650686You taint it to make sure any straight white man who enjoyed the "saga" knows it's no longer his, and these guys >>719649991 are in charge. In other words, what's always done when reviving an old franchise before the disease age.
>woke era from 2015-2025>so much fucking time and money wasted on propaganda>trumps wins 2nd term>shuts down all that nonsense>woke projects cancelled left and right>GTAV2 has to be delayed to remove all that shit
>>719649774Jesus Christ, how incompetent Take Two can be to even consider it.
>>719651331They couldn't agree on ownership because nobody wants to put their name on this shit. It's a nice way of saying "thanks for your verticle slice we will call you later" and they end up ghosting/firing you.
>>719649991Speak for yourself, cancelations and layoffs are extremely fun and satisfying.
>>719650686Porn game.
>>719649774Oh no, they couldn't scam another company for a decade?
>>719651818Concord and Perfect Dark reboot are the poster children for how NOT to do business in gaming and how to mismanage from the top to bottom. The top couldn't crack the whip and the bottom couldn't even program a game (Perfect Dark had nothing after 7 years, at least Concord had SOMETHING which was bad but it was SOMETHING). The Initiative was in the super costly state of California which must've cost and arm and a leg to keep the lights on for 7 years. But if we take a step back, Microsoft also hired Crystal Dynamics to participate. This is such a black hole of money, its so fascinating. Concord and Perfect Dark reboot deserve disaster documentaries with random images of nsivila and Uzzy crying on their tranny PC.
>>719650686Just take after the GBC game and make it a Metal Gear clone, there's demand.
>>719649909It's like shooting a zombie the second it reanimates.
>>719652068>The top couldn't crack the whipthis has been quite literally microsoft’s problem for the last 15 years. the only tard wrangling they’ve done is only with bungie. when they bought rare they did jack shit with them and now since they own 6 gorillion studios they continue to do jack shit with them. the studios know this is all free money in the end since they know the management at microsoft likes to pussyfoot around their own managing studios job since one bad decision and it’ll be a pr nightmare
>>719650371>To infinity, and beyond!
>>719649774Joan's manjaw was so thicc it caused his abortion.
>>719651413Can't wait to see what kind of filth the dataminers will unearth
>>719652439With microsoft buying so many studios maybe it'll collapse like a house of cards and send the gaming industry to the dark ages similar to what happened in the 90s
>Hi Fi Rush releases>MS says they are happy with the reception and sales too>guts the studio not even a year in since the release>343 allowed to keep going despite fumbling: Halo 4,Halo MCC,Halo 5, Halo Infinite>Perfect Dark given 7 years of dev timeI think the people in charge of "the initiative" fucked up, but how? I mean is easy to just say Microsoft, but I feel we are missing the crucial details, wish people were more outspoken about these things, how else are we going to learn from mistakes?>>719652439>RareMan they take their sweet sweet time these days, I like Sea of Thieves but by the time actual story missions came through I was already in-between way more games, it felt like an EA game for years and I guess with Everwild they thought they could take their sweet time as well.Maybe there is just a point at which a company is just too big for its own good, hence the commetn by the studio lead of Expedition 33 how impossible it would have been to make that game at Ubisoft.
>>719654003>>719652439Realistically I think what's going to happen is the acquired Microsoft studios will be folded to become support studios. Back when Activision was independent if a game studio flopped, they would become Call of Duty support studio. Which is coded for game studio semi-shuttered to become code monkeys and texture monkeys to the bigger fish that makes the game. Going forward I can see Microsoft resting on like 70 acquired game IPs but only using 4-5 of them with every big studio being supported by a smaller studio. IIRC Microsoft in an investor meeting said as much that Bethesda Softworks will be making Fallout 5 on a much faster time table because they are consolidating all their new acquisitions to make it. Basically betting on just the big IPs.Microsoft CEO says the Fallout TV show is popular (writing is dogshit and falls apart but whatever), so they greenlight a new Fallout game and make everyone who is a B-C tier studio support Bethesda (who is ironically a B studio themselves). nsilvias and Uzzy tranny out and clap about it when Fallout 5 gets announced.

>>719654371EA has retooled various studios into Battlefield studios (they have sunset Need for Speed), is this the future? Investing even more into fewer properties, hundreds and hundreds of people, multiple studios working into one game?With CoD it used to be on a 3 year rotation between 3 studios, but now you can see all the studios getting credited, too damn big.How do you maintain or even just create an identity for a studio?
>>719649909>STOP KILLING GAMES>KILLING GAMES IS GOODwhich is it incel?
>>719654371The fact that there is still no new fallout game is insane. I think FO 76 is making more money for them that people think very quietly and they have little desire to split that community
>>719654163>>343 allowed to keep going despite fumbling: Halo 4,Halo MCC,Halo 5, Halo InfiniteBecause those turds still made money
>>719650371Perfect Mog
>>719649774>Take Two made a smart business decisionWell, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
>>719650686afaik it was supposed to have the same structure of primary missions and secondary missions the old PD had, except with huge open levels. At least that's what I gathered from the trailer. But I also heard the entire trailer was just a mockup and the actual game never existed so who the fuck knows.
>>719650686Immersive sim.
>>719651048I don't know much about decompiled stuff but the version I have I've had for like 5 years. It's almost perfect but sometimes in "the duel" when your character is walking forward 10 paces to start the fight, they glitch out and just keep walking into the wall and the game has to be reset. Other than that, shits flawless
>>719649909Based
>>719649774SHALOM
>>719649774 Nothing about that reveal looked unique or amazing.I feel like it having an ugly female protagonist was the only reason why Take-Two even considered it in the first place.
>>719650686Mission structure like Hitman with smaller but very open maps that can be explored and solved in different ways.
>>719649774How hard is it to make a shooter where you play with a hot chick?
>>719655172But how much did Halo Infinite sell anyway?Fucking Bing gives the top page to one of these AI made/written websites that just regurgitates things without understanding, like in this case, thre game did NOT sell 20 million copies, it engaged 20 million players, but that's because it had a free-to-play Multiplayer.
>>719657491Nowdays if you make a game with attractive characters they'll call it a gooner game (see Marvel Rivals), feels like we are going all around back to shaming people for finding things hot, but I think it marries in part with how much fucking irony everything has to have these days.
>>719649774Pure fucking kinography
>>719657491how hard is it to have a society where browns and blacks aren't running around murdering and raping with near-impunity?
Microsoft and THQ joining hands to destroy the western industry one studio/IP at a time
>>719649774>>719649909
>>719654371The simple fact is that the games industry cannot have games inbetween AAA and indies now. MS has to rely on games that actually sell and that Zenimax game is going to be a new IP that's gonna flop when it comes out in 6 years but if you make it a fallout game it's a guaranteed money maker.
>>719654894Is it even a game if it's not playable or even released yet?
>>719658273>The simple fact is that the games industry cannot have games inbetween AAA and indies now.Oh they very much can, Nintendo is obviously proof of that.AAA isn't sustainable however with ballooning costs and games not being profitable even if they reach the 5m mark.
>>719658448Nintendo is not immune to the rising cost of games which is why they're pushing for $80.
>>719658590They're pushing for $80 because their cartridges got a lot more expensive and because they think they can get away with it.
>>719658590Anon, Nintendo is raising the price because of the carts.AAA developers are raising the price because they're struggling. Keep in mind that Nintendo also doesn't stuff their games with MTX or a ton of DLC. I feel like you could count the amount of games that have paid dlc right now on your hands.
>>719649774that jaw is stronger than mine, she'll give birth to strong children
>>719658590They literally only have one $80 game.
>>719659302Four actually. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/games/#show=0&p=1&sort=pd&f=corePlatforms&corePlatforms=Nintendo+Switch+2
>>719649909fpbpThat game looked trash. Who wants to play as a man jaw'd dyke?
>>719659464One.The others are 60 dollar games with dlc.
>>719649909okay haha this is actually insane XD I hate my hobby
>>719658590Switch 2 cartridges are MicroSD Express. None of Nintendo's 1st party titles max out the 64gb cartridges, the prices will come down. I don't know why I bother explaining this to illiterate ADHD Gen Z kids like you. Nintendo isn't happy paying the front load cost to use 18-25gb/64gb cartridge in their games. Emergent technology costs money for first adaptation rates, like Blu-ray discs initially too retard-kun.

>>719650810How is playing a console game with mousr cheats challenging?
>>719659568Technically true, but anyone unfamiliar with this shit is just going to look at this and see $80. It's a genuine shock the new DK game was only 70.
>>719649774British humiliation ritual
Being owned by MS is a death sentence at this point
>>719649774>Microsoft hoarding IP despite having no plans to ever use it againI think Hi-Fi Rush only escaped their clutches due to how bad the backlash was to their blundering.
>>719652439They killed Kamiya's game for no reason
>>719649774>in reality>we barely had a game so we just put a trailer together>see the negative reactions>lets just shut it downSmart.>>719657725No one should care for the gooner buzzword. It is just as meaningless as calling everyone nazi.And zoomers cant hold themselves to buzzword the latest meme whenever they see a chance making it even more meaningless.
>>719649774You're breaking her heart.
>>719659875Being a little fish studio owned by Microsoft means you become a support studio to help their A-lister teams ship games. BobsToys games (Crash and Spyro remakes) avoiding the execution squad by buying themselves out of Phil Spencer's Xbox dead brand cabal.

>>719649909FPBP
>>719649909>>719659467Don't you find it telling that they don't do this shit with their own IPs? They always gotta ruin the established IPs that the gamers already like. Imagine being a game developer that hates gamers, maybe you're on the wrong industry then? It kinda shows that if those in the game industry are capable of that kind of hate and malice, that these "people" must be some kinds of demons, some kind of change in the stock of people in the industry must have changed. I'm not talking there's less white people and more third worlders, I'm saying that the whiteys now in the industry (which the guy who said he hates gamers is also part of) are from some different soul group or something, or they're actually some kind of demons. You know you see hollywood shit of some sacrificial ritual involving blood, rape and murder of some little children, and then you see it was done by (((one of them))) and you're not too surprised because you've come to expect this from them, but it's when you see someone "uncanny" looking from your own whiterace, that's when the alarm bell goes off with me that maybe there's something more going on than just "it's the joos", and that there are actual demons or something walking in meatsuits, it's only way I can explain the self-sabotage to own in-group that leftists are doing, because this way they're not actuall doing any sabotage to their racial in-group, because they never belonged to it in the first place. There's some kind of "flag"/group dynamic going on that transcends ethnic race, and it has nothing to do with ideology/politics either, imo.
>>719660642They try with their own IPs, to give them credit. That's very little credit though because it gives birth to stuff like Dustborn, Concord, Unknown 9
>>719660642now this is peak schizo hours
>>719659804>It's a genuine shock the new DK game was only 70.If you aren't paying attention, sure, because Air Riders and ZA are also 70 making it three games to one.
>>719661131Pokemon not being 80 is genuinely a shock. The greedy cunts not going for 80 just for the sake of it? Surprising.
>>719661091I can't help it, once you start seeing this stuff, you can no longer ever unsee it
>>719661234Anon, you do realise that they aren't particularly greedy in the grand scheme of things, right?
>>719660642communism is part satanism
>>719649991Loser sŏycuck seethe, as always. We're taking gaming back and theres nothing you can do about it.
>>719661417nobody can afford 60-80 dollar games in grand scheme of things, because despite "muh inflation", the wages have not gone up enough to compensate for increase in prices of living (rent, food, all the stuff). They are increasing the prices of games despite gamers not having money to spend on over 50$ , because these companies feel they're entitled to get more money even if their customers cannot afford it. They see it as "well the world is moving forward, if you're not then you must as well die" mentality. Ironically what will happen eventually is they will die, because people will simply stop buying their games once they become waaaaaay too expensive. They are anon very, very greedy.
I dunno I was kinda looking forward to it, the trailer looked neat. I wonder what the chances of the cancelling just being publisher faggotory where they didn't immediately see a billion franchise rivival coming from it or something.
It's genuinely amazing that all they had to show for their "quadruple A" mega game was a boring trailer featuring heavily scripted action (hacking computers, shooting guns, doing parkour, etc.) that everyone has already done a million times already in other games. I wouldn't mind a new Perfect Dark game at all but let's not pretend it should take close to 10 years to make one.
>>719661748It probably got cancelled because they're trying to ride new trend of "it's ok to be right-wing now". But it's a grift, and that's the most important part to remember, these companies, and influencers on youtube/social media, that are now suddenly taking right wing talking points, they're doing it because some think tank group told them to do it. They're basically grifters, now's not the time to get lulled into false sense of security (which they're trying to do).
>>719661710Nice tangent but irrelevant to the conversation at hand. We're talking about Nintendo, pokemon specifically, not being particularly greedy when compared to their competitors.
>>719662725No it's not irrelevant, because the other anon said "nuh uh they're not greedy", and I came in to correct, that yes they are, anyone charging more than 50$ for a video game is greedy. How long has 60 been the industry standard now? It should start alarm bells for you but you're clearly conditioned to think 60$ is ok, which is what the marketeers/publishers do before they raise the price.
>>719649909fpbpSometimes you are better off dead.
>>719662918>No it's not irrelevantIt is. It has nothing to do with the conversation at hand because we're talking about competitors not the value of a dollar, inflation etc etc.The only reason you "jumped in" is because you want to derail the conversation.
>>719661710>They are increasing the prices of games despite gamers not having money to spend on over 50$NTA but but if you have a minimum wage job you can afford a game or two a month at 100 let alone 70.
>>719649774They'll just have to take it on the chin I guess
>>719663241>we're not talking about inflation or dollar>Nintendo is not immune to the rising cost of games which is why they're pushing for $80.>Anon, you do realise that they aren't particularly greedy in the grand scheme of thingsYou're so full of shit, attack the argument I made, or keep your mouth shut, marketeer.
>>719649991NTA but I feel quite some joy about it actually
>>719663501>attack the argument I made, or keep your mouth shut, marketeer.See what I mean, now I'm suddenly a marketer just because I won't entertain you.
>>719663351>you can afford a game or two a monthYes, people were able to buy more than 1-2 games before current prices.
>>719663680If you think more than 50$ isn't overpriced, you're quite literally a shill and should not even be taken seriously because you're here to astroturf
>>719663803>If you think more than 50$ isn't overpricedPersonally? No. Vidya is my second cheapest hobby at the moment.But that doesn't matter because we're not talking about what we consider overpriced, this isn't opinion time. We're talking about their standing in the greater gaming industry when compared to their competitors.At this point I think you're just angry that the facts align with Nintendo.
>>719649991Sure triggered a bunch of joyless incels
>>719664141>we're not talking about what we consider overpriced>Anon, you do realise that they aren't particularly greedy in the grand scheme of thingsagain, if you cannot be truthful in a conversation, take your astroturfing to another platform.
>>719664304Anon, you are aware that you're the one avoiding the conversation, correct?
>>719664418I joined the conversation with the graph, because I saw someone make the claim that "well they're not greedy in grand scheme of things", which assumes that because inflation bs nintendo is allowed to raise the price. It's a conversation about inflation, it's just that you are assumnig "no that's the new norm already we don't need to discuss it" when it's clearly a convo again inflation. Again, address the post I made with the graph, or take your astroturfing to another platform, shill.

>>719660036why didnt you save her anon? you could have learned to game dev and made a perfect dark indie clone by now
>>719666008When this same cycle has happened to 20-30 different games you know, and despite so much ease of access to game making nothing comes to recreating the gameplay of those old games, you sort of learn to accept "this is how it was intended to be", this all starts to feel very orchestrated ordeal like there was a "run" like some kind of gold rush but instead soul material was involved (creativity, imagination, all taps to some kind of collective unconsciousness), and now that the "gold rush" is over no more good games are being made. Many will even say "new games are soulless", they just don't understand how right they are in that statement, they don't understand the hidden underlying reasons/themes for this (and probably neither do I, but I can see something is very wrong)
>>719650810BasedI played it like>>719656701Did with the GE64 version. Gyro aim on steam deck worked a treat.
I don't care about the game but release the OST they used for the trailer, thank you.
>>719659302In Italy is 80 and 90 dollars.>>719661796You are right, I like what we saw but is nothing that would require AAA money, a bit of Mirror's Edge, Deus Ex (maybe?), combining melee and guns, also non lethal options.nothing shown justified 7 years of development time but still wanted to see that package come together and now is all going to be thrown out in the trash.
>>719670573I'd like to hear the music they made for it, reminded me of Dune.Don't know why companies tend to just hide it all away when they cancel it, no respect for art.
>>719671094>Don't know why companies tend to just hide it all away when they cancel it, no respect for art.I may have some bias, but I feel like there's some truth to what I'm saying. Try not to get too attached to the media, for it might not come from a good place in the first place.
