    Thats so fucking sad, Hi-Fi Rush is the most innovative and unique game I’ve played in like a decade, I was looking forward to more games like that. Like, I suck at rhythm games and still loved it

    Robert Altman would have been devastated, he was a capitalist through and through, but the Bethesda employees were his extended family.

    Unfortunately, MS does not understand the potential.

    That’s unfortunate. Hopefully this turns out to be a good thing in the long run and all those people are put to use making new games better. No point in having that many studios when you just churn out shit (Hi-Fi excluded) with them l. Better to be more focused.

    Prey (2017) hit such a sweet spot for me; absolutely loved it. Was really hoping we’d get a sequel. I was never able to get into Deathloop and I’ve only heard negative stuff about Redfall.

    According to Bloomberg, 70% of the staff that worked on Prey were gone by the time Redfall was released. Real shame to see a studio fall from grace and end up shuttered whether it be management decisions or lost talent.
