Report: Most of Arkane Austin's Prey veterans quit during Redfall's development, and the ones that stayed hoped Microsoft would cancel it
I always suspected that **** show game was the pet project of some soylent fueled commiefornian who got promoted way too high to hit a diversity quota, good to see the rest of the company also thought it was a pile of trash too.
============= More Arkane Context ===================
After 2017’s standalone expansion, Death Of The Outsider, Bethesda decided to put the series on pause in favour of a shorter, more experimental project - according to Arkane founder Raphaël Colantonio
Death of the Outsider bombs hard.. (Gee I wonder why!!)
“And then [Deathloop] became a big thing, over the years,” he says. “That was the funny thing: ‘Nah, we don’t wanna do Dishonored 3, but if you can pitch us a small game, something that maybe has multiplayer so we can learn multiplayer, something that maybe has microtransactions, maybe something with a lot of recycling, like a roguelike.’”
Bethesda says they don't want a Dsihonored 3.. Arkanes solution.. game about two black people pvping in copy and pasted levels with microtransactions out the ***.
As a result, Deathloop became a game about a single repeating day on an island, in which four familiar levels were kept fresh by reshuffled loadouts, objectives, enemy placements and multiplayer invasions. And by the end, it was no longer a small project. “It would probably cost just as much to make Dishonored 3,” Colantonio says. “But back then it was not meant to be.”
Apparently the budget for Deathloop exploded and it ended up costing as much or more than what Dishonored 3 would of cost..
1) Make Dishonored 3 expansion with black girl boss killing dah whitesider - bombs
2) Make Deathhoops about 2 black edgy characters killing wyte peeple who are all comically ********, filled with microtransactions - bombs
3) LGBT College kids killing evil white bald vampires - bombs
4) Leaked court documents show they are NOW making Dishonored 3 finally.. after everything else failed.. targeting a released in 2024 or 2025...
All of this could of been avoided if they just made ******* Dishonored 3.. all these ******* with their little ideas and pet projects and "ooh ooh lets do this and that" they burned 100's of millions of dollars for 3 games that nobody played. Seriously.. the game industry is so ****** and ********. Burn it down.
