Perfect Dark developed by The Initiative confirmed
- Thread starter Tenchi Ryu
- Start date
There was no trailer and pretty much every AAA game takes 5-7 years to complete.
As compared to 4 for the last of us 2, from a game and team that already has assets and more.
Or 5 for FF7 remake?
Or maybe Granblue relink, trailer was released in 2016 game is suppose to come out this year.
It's not as wild as yall want to make it out.
Ok a glorified PowerPoint presentation and a potential release. That development cycle is common and not what I’m talking about. Usually when a company announces a game, the game is 1-2 years away from release, not six. That’s why I think it’s wild.
Yes, that shyt is also wild. This practice of announcing a game half a decade from release is crazy and places a burden on development teams that shouldn’t exist. Why would gamers care about shyt they can’t play for that long.
But this isn’t even true.
Especially for something like this where they are building a team to make the game. They gotta announce it early in order to recruit people to work on it.
Some established franchises don’t get so much lead time, but that’s cause everybody already knows the games are being worked on. Even something like GOW ragnarock was officially announced almost 3 years before the game came out, even though everyone already knew the game was being worked on.
It’s actually kinda rare for a AAA game to be announced and released within a year or 2
The earlier you put out a trailer or promotion the earlier you can get feed back going.
Long as there is no date attached to it I don't see a problem

Announced september 16, 2020
Released november 9, 2022
Game was being teased and talked about well before that.
Did 'God of War' developer Cory Barlog just tease a direct sequel?
'God of War 5' has yet to be confirmed by Santa Monica, but a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 'God of War' (2018) is almost certainly in the works. And game director Cory Barlog may have just teased that the sequel is in development.
Consider what you guys are saying. Games are being announced to the public and they don't even have the infrastructure to really start working on it. It isn't even actually a game at that point, just a concept. Recruiting teams to work on it, what?
What I'm saying is doing that sort of thing is wild. Gamers have an expectation (whether it is warranted or not) that when you announce a game, you already have that stuff in place and you are planning to release it in the near future. Not when high school freshman are halfway through college.

Being teased and talked about is not an announcement. Perfect Dark was announced at the game awards with a trailer
Perfect Dark was being teased before it was announced also, so unless you want to add more time to that as well…
Rumor: A Perfect Dark Reboot is in Development
For years there's been rumors of a new Perfect Dark, but alas, nothing has ever come of said [...]
Again.
You don’t have to “announce” a sequel that everyone knows is being worked on.
GOW developers were talking about the game as early as 2019. There were already job listings exposing that the game was being worked on.
People knew the game was gonna be called Ragnarock well before the little teaser they put out.

I mean, lets just be real and call it what it is…xbox coming off the last gen was one foot in the grave and no one, not even the most loyal of stans were gonna run out to buy a series x with no games announced besides Halo.
Thats why they announced Fable, Perfect Dark, Everwild, Avowed, Hellblade 2, State of Decay 3, etc. etc. they had to sell the console.
They didn’t even have a proper development studio set up for this game when it was announced.
any news on those games?
Hopefully not as bad as Halo Infinite with all this dev time.
