Xbox Game Studios |OT6| But wait, there's MORE....studios

There is a huge range in the size and scope of studios, even within Zenimax.

I’m just saying that i’ve never seen a studio that focus only on doing on remasters. Remakes sure, but remasters not.

Also pretty much every past Xbox remaster was done by their own already existing studios(Gears of War Ultimate was done by The Coalition, Halo MCC was done by 343 and so on).

Rand and Jez are talking about Halo now. Jez makes it very clear he really doesn’t know, but that he wouldn’t be surprised if something gets delayed a little. So basically that they would release MP first and campaign later.

Rand said it would surprise him, especially since they’ve said SP and MP will release together. I don’t think it will happen, but I would not be willing to bet money on it, especially so the SP.

I don’t disagree. I think from my perspective, a (well done) remake of a Morrowind or Skyrim would be an undertaking that is similar in cost and complexity to a full up new AAA game (like FF7, for example). If they are building up a studio capable of doing that, I’d personally rather them work on new stuff.

Conspiracy Theory Time.

We have only seen Joanna Dark’s new design from behind. No face. This is intentional.

Why?

Because they are hiring a celebrity for voice and likeness. We have only heard one line from Joanna and her casting is not confirmed.

Just my theory.

I find it funny that he has been hearing it for some time now about this Artifact studio… But only when he talks about it, the information changes instantly.

Funny.

I’m willing to bet money on them both releasing together… Phil himself has said that the team would regard it as a failure if they have to delay content any further.

I really hope so because I sure as hell want to play that campaign. But the reality right now is that there is yet no concrete release date and we have to wait and see if they have another proper gameplay look at it sometime soon.

I’ll believe it all once it’s installed on the SSD and starting up.

Yeah, after more than one year later, still having some trouble with the game would be a failure indeed.

I just hope the campaign gets released this year, and that it ends up great! I know that “a delayed game is better than a bad game”, but I also think that some delays are not healthy.

I wouldn’t mind too much if the SP came a bit earlier though. I couldn’t play the beta and I am starving for some Halo now… specially after so much positive feedback.

Seems like it’s not true (even though he says he still heard rumors about a new studio) but someone really needs to make a full remake of New Vegas in Creation Engine 2 with the cut content + new content. Like Final Fantasy VII remake and Resident Evil 2 remake.

You got it correct.

Remaking an RPG is an entire different beast from remaking a 10-12 hour game.

Aint nobody playing a Morrowind remaster in 2024. You need to remake that game from the ground up and Idk if thats something you wanna do at BGS considering their scale of games and that the next Elder Scrolls is coming sooner rather than later.

Seems like an absolute waste of resources.
