Jeff Grubb: Everwild got rebooted after its creative director left last year, now scheduled to 2023 but could slip to 2024

WTF has happened to Rare? Back in the days of KI1+2, and DKC, they were legitimately my favorite developer. How the mighty have fallen.

Microsoft happened but more importantly the founders of the company, the Stamper brothers, left. People underestimate how important the leadership of companies is.

Funnily enough a few years ago the son of one of the brothers made a mobile game, remind you of anything?

I said it was in development hell a few weeks back and got jumped on by somebody here. Pre-production started in 2016 which means a ridiculously long development period for it.

I wonder if MS regret not canning it.

Microsoft showing CG trailers for games years away just to inflate their E3 press conference.

Imagine this game is coming out in 2024, 5 years after the launch of the Xbox Series X/S console. Might as well make it for the next gen Xbox console.

It seems Microsoft aren't even ready this gen , like they weren't in their previous generation with the Xbox one. Please wait and be excited...........
What are you talking about? There is a list of games for this year and next. The lineup for this year still beats the competition.

Damn i miss the stampers. They really kept rare focused on a certain style of game. This game looks neat.

Trolling? Do you believe every gamer has even played most of the best xbox one/ps4 gen titles? Some are playing Stars Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for the first time, a bunch of the Yakuza games are on Game Pass, Scarlet Nexus is dropping soon, Psychonauts 2 looks fantastic and drops in August, Halo Infinite comes this year, Forza Horizon 5 comes this year, game pass owners got MLB The Show added to the service, Yakuza Like A Dragon is gamepass bound, a bunch of Bethesda titles have been dropped on there that many have never played, or people want to revisit in light of recent Bethesda news, such as Prey, Fallout 4, Skyrim etc., Watch Dogs Legion just got a 60fps update, many still haven't played AC: Valhalla, Doom next gen upgrade is coming, Elder Scrolls Online is getting next gen enhanced (and Game Pass owners got that free also). Any and all DLC for any Bethesda games are an automatic free addition to Game Pass going forward, and I'm leaving out a shit ton of other games.

Saying there isn't much to play for Series X is just plain laughable at this stage. Gamepass makes it so that you don't even know where the hell to begin on what game to play. The choice is insane.
Dude just listed every third party title he could think of 😭

"Starfield will ship this fall"

"Xbox will announce a new game with Kojima"

"Battlefield 2042 will be on game pass day 1"



Jeff Scrubb doesn't know shit.
100% agree. But I agree Everwild and many other MS games announced years ago won't be released before 2023.

We're talking about sales, quantity or quality of the titles?

Because Sony beats MS on all three of the the above.

That sucks if true, I always liked the look of this game and was looking forward to knowing what it was about. Seems like the devs were as cluless as me on that regard though.

True or not I hope we get to see more of it someday.

in all honestly and if we want to be really truly honest , no .... lol no. Returnal is a high grade AA ... morales is a dlc++, demon soul a graphic remake of an old old game with better textures . The only one who could really compete is Rachet ... but we can bet the account that Halo or Forza will sell at least 2 times what rachet will,

I wonder if someone such as yourself understand we're in a pandemic and people are working at home, you do realize delays are bound to happen wherever the system, keep that in mind instead of ignorance, buddy.

Whatever makes you feel better about having fuck all exclusives at launch

They had a roadmap and date for the game, it didn't pan out. Nothing to do with "showing titles to inflate their E3 presser." Completely asinine.

Asked about the status of the game during a Kinda Funny Games interview this week, Xbox’s Booty suggested the challenges Rare has faced are a natural part of the creative process.

“When you look at it from the outside, when you hear words like reset and maybe restructure, I’ll just say that those are probably a little more definite and a little more extreme than what really happens as a game comes to life,” he claimed.

On where the Everwild team is right now, he said: “They’re just trying to make sure that they’ve got something special. We’ve shown kind of a glimpse of a world, you’ve seen the art style that the team has got, but we want to get it right.”

Booty added: “We’ll share more on Everwild when the team has got some cool stuff to show. We know that there’s excitement and anticipation for it and we don’t want to just keep things hidden for too long”.

A "high grade AA" game won a ton of awards last year, called Hades. Returnal is a better game, or at least in the same ballpark.
Miles Morales time to beat with extras is about the same time to beat as Gears 5, so is Gears 5 campaign DLC++?
Demons Souls, as you said, is a remake, not a remaster, and is very high quality, so why does it matter if it's based on an old game that is locked to the PS3 system, which most people don't have access to?

Sea of Theives ended up great. This will too. Doesn’t matter when it comes out, it should have a following regardless.

Since Sea of Thieves hit 25 million players. Rare proved they still got it . Take all the time you need. No need to rush it out. Based on the schedule for the next two years. Xbox has great flow of games already coming out. We will probable get Hellblade 2 , More Halo Infinite content . Forza Motorsports , The New game from Compulsive games , All the Bethesada games coming out, State of Decay 3, etc.

Microsoft needs to stop announcing these games so fucking early. Halo infinte, almost four years from announcement to launch, everwild, mia, crackdown 3, 6 years from announcement to launch. Perfect dark and fable are likely still so far away. They come to e3 with so many cg trailers, yet rarely have the receipts to back them up

Give Rare all the time they need. After Sea of Thieves and its success, they've earned it!

Yeah, you think they would have learned that by now. Sony finally figured it out after their awful E3 where every game was 3+ years out. I prefer the approach Nintendo takes where they typically only announce games close to launch.

I'll never understand the need for some to downplay games like these. Doing so doesn't make their preferred piece of plastic any better of a piece of plastic. Console war stupidity at its finest.

I really do not like announcing games 4 or 5 years before they could possibly launch. I don't know why publishers think it helps.

There are a lot of bullshit takes in this thread.

First not a single person here knows the scale of the game rare is building. Until you do, all the talk of a reboot or them taking too long is pure fanboy talk. All the suggestions of problems at the studio or them not being in the glory years is meaningless with the fact they have a clear hit with sea of thieves.

Second, returning to this bs that xbox has no games is purely fanboy driven. Xbox will have more first party titles released then sony or nintendo by end of this generation. Sorry but the people trying to revise history as if ms didnt purchase studios, stop living in the past. They made the moves, specifically to increase the output of first party games. MS has a lot planned and specifically with big franchise names, but they still haven't announced titles coming from a number of studios they acquired. Not to mention most studios have multiple teams. Some have 4 or more.

Note Sony also showed titles for ps5 before launch that were as far out as 2022 or 23.
