Forza Horizon 5 Creative Director and a dozen devs leave Playground Games

[Pressure]

Sony Stan's have terrible reasoning

Forza engine being used for Fable thread -- why would you want to use racing devs and their studio for open world games. This is why xbox fails.

This thread -- these devs are leaving because they wouldn't let them use forza engine for their open world game. This is why xbox fails.

Dipset Dipset Dipset....jueeeeeelz

You're leaving out context.

Yes most of Sony's devs are from studios they purchased. Which as a corporation is a very Sony thing to do. Just look at their cameras. Sony was financially backing these studios before they purchased them. It's not like out of the blue they said they want Insomniac. They've been cultivating their relationships with some of these studios since the PS1 era. Naught Dog developed the first Crash Bandicoot. That's some long term planning for your ass. It's totally different.

Thing is that Sony has been doing whatever they want with competition. Which says a lot about the competition.

No Sony has progressively more and more began to ignore what Microsoft does and head towards less consumer friendly practices but back in the Xbox 360 generation Sony paid attention to stuff Microsoft did and mostly maintained feature parity.

Today the Xbox Series X has more consumer friendly features than the PS5. Examples like Smart Delivery, natural save compatibility between Xbox Series and Xbox One games, physical disc backwards compatibility with generations before the last generation via software emulation, quick resume. Even same day PC / Xbox game releases with play anywhere cross platform saves.

Still makes my point.

OP created this thread on some anti-Xbox shyt

Curious, what do you think would happen in the Arcadium if we got a story about Cory Barlog and 10 senior devs at Santa Monica leaving to start their own studio?

Be honest.

We’ve already seen that happen multiple times.

Nobody really give a fukk. It’s just you reaching for some stan shyt to make a thread about.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Not the creative directors/heads of the studios, thats a microsoft thing. They run their studios like shyt

 

[Batsute]

That game that they're making, why wasn't that a Microsoft internal project? Why didn't Microsoft say hey you guys have an idea and we need new IPs so we will fund it just make the game?

Unless Microsoft wasn't given the opportunity to do it should have happened.

Ain’t no company saying yes to anything until you have a vertical split.
