Yeah you’re right. It is quite a lot, especially with this kind of an IP and expectations to deal with

I would say Forza Motorsport reboot had its issues, Flight Simulator 2024 had issues with cloud infra and Red Fall had various bugs and T poses.
They were playable so I agree with you on that, except FS24
Actually there are two studios within Playground Games, I’m sure there’s cross pollination but the other studio is still making Forza supposedly.

lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!English2·26 days agoI mean Skyrim is kinda cool. In similar vain I really really enjoyed Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, waiting for KCD2 to get all its DLCs before I jump into it. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was also pretty good considering its age. I found Control to have a very addictive and unique gameplay. Special mention to The Last of Us part 1 and 2, as they had really seamless integration of gameplay, narrative and atmosphere.
lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•AMD FSR 4 Upscaling Tested vs DLSS 3/4 - RDNA 4 Delivers!English7·1 month agoPretty cool that AMD stuck the landing, rather exceeding the expectations by beating DLSS CNN. Sure transformer model is better but it is slightly more costly too, and this is effectively v1 of FSR with ML. This is especially great coming off of shimmering woes of PSSR.
Now the competitive edge moves from DLSS and RT to Multi Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I find the newer goal post to be less exciting for sub $500 GPUs as the added latency or lower base frame rate isn’t justified, so in a way AMD is genuinely a better choice this time around for the price range.
Let’s hope the $200-400 segment also sees such competition thanks to Intel.

lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•Was Avowed a Success? - Laura FryerEnglish1·1 month agoActually I don’t disagree with your premise. I definitely think US studios have either sat on their laurels or have had troubled development.
The pivot changed art style, scope and even lore and vibe of the game as per Carrie Patel. The lore exists for the world but living lands from what I nice l know were never fully detailed.
Regardless, the game’s developement definitely went through trouble despite Microsoft’s funding.
I was just mentioning that while it took 7 years since conception but the single player version is rather new. And pointing that out isn’t some save, just an acknowledgement that the game did go through some crisis in development.

lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•Was Avowed a Success? - Laura FryerEnglish2·1 month agoAs per interviews Awoved pivoted in 2021 from dark multiplayer to what it is now. What that tells us is that it could’ve been something like Suicide Squad/Gotham Knights/Veilguard, but they successfully pivoted in the end.
lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•Was Avowed a Success? - Laura FryerEnglish3·1 month agoTheir other studios on the other hand, oofh.
- Rare: Ever wild (sea of thieves helps tho)
- Undead: State of Decay 3 (almost half a decade since announcement)
- Initiative: Perfect Dark (vertical slice looked good, but maybe that’s all they’ve made so far)
- Turn10: Forza Motorsport (reboot didn’t do anything it seems)
- 343/Halo studios: …
lustyargonian@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•Was Avowed a Success? - Laura FryerEnglish3·1 month agoI hope MSFT sees it like Laura does. However it does look like they’ve been kind and patient with Obsidian so far (pentiment, grounded, Avowed pivots from dark live service to rainbow RPG, and sequel to Outer Worlds, an ok release). They’re definitely happy with regularly shipped games of diverse genres and audiences for GamePass. In a way, a perfect studio for a subscription service.

Pretty cool we’ve gone from 360 emulation to recompilation.
