8 years though... damn. Glad the guy got some funding for a team, cause it would've taken even longer to get anywhere
He got funding from Sony around 2017-2018. With something like that, most would expect the game to be out sooner.

Honestly I forgot the game even existed. I'm kind of over the industry thing where they announce a game and then expect me to care when they tease it again 7 years later and maybe will finally release the fucking thing another year after that

Though apparently the new problem is now that games are getting announced too late, and most are launched in a buggy, broken, and unfinished state.

If you expect me to care about a game for that long without even being able to play it, you better be a pretty fucking amazing game and unfortunately Final Fantasy 7 already exists so....
RE2 Remake says hi. Capcom announced that title in 2014. The first trailer didn't hit until E3 2018. I would add DMC5 to the list, but while it was in development since 2015, it didn't get any announcement or news until the E3 of that same year. KH3 was another game announced too early, and the reception of that game was more mixed on the story, characters, and ending, than the gameplay front.

Oh now they wanna see what I've been saying for....jesus how long have i been saying this?
Since 2019-2020. Though you're not the first, and I've been done with Microsoft since the release of the XONE, me getting a PS4, and them cancelling Scalebound. Kotaku is always late to the party, or only wants to say things when they're at there worst.

Since it's Kotaku, tomorrow there will be an article about all the things Xbox is doing right and how they are posed to dominate Sony or some shit.

Yeah, I knew XONE was a hot mess (thanks to you-know-who) but got it anyways because that's where all my friends were on. Granted, it was fun playing games like GTA, COD, or Battlefield 4 with friends, but as soon as I was playing by myself, I hated every min of it. Meanwhile, I was jealous of PS4 owners who got all the good shit like Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, and God of War.

I thought Phil Spencer was gonna do better job, and it did look that way....at first. Now Xbox just feels lost. They got all the talents with the various acquisition but don't know what to do with them; Even Acti-Blizz wouldn't help much if that goes through.

Sad to say, but I feel Kinect was truly the last time they tried SOMETHING.

Xbox showcase next month. Every year I say "Xbox better bring SOMETHING to the table this year!", and every year all I end up saying is "That's it?"

Well, Game Pass is the latest evidence of them trying *something*, but it’s also evidence that they are at a loss for trying anything better. They basically seem to be saying, “Screw it, let’s just become a glorified GameFly.”

On the brightside, they may drop another surprise game like Hi-fi Rush that could be good. Otherwise I'm sure they'll tease the same shit they've been teasing such as:

Senua's Sacrifice
Forza Motorsports
Fable?
Something indie.

Jesus fucking Christ, please please stop trying to make Sea of Thieves a thing.
I just find it funny that certain games Microsoft keeps pushing out in the forefront can't run a stable 60 frames per second on these $500+ XBOX SERIES consoles.

Well there you have it. You heard it from the main man himself. Xbox is officially the weakest platform when it comes to games. It almost feels like this is the beginning of the end; Like, MS is gonna shut down the whole Xbox department in the next few years

The Fanboys are going to lose their shit! Phil I appreciate what you're saying and everything, but.....why couldn't you just said all this stuff to begin with?! You could have had something if you actually tried! The problem is that y'all kept buying up studios and expect just magic to happen! You're part of that huge problem!

Oh damn, homie just straight up came out and said "we give up".

What the fuck are you trying to buy up all these damn studios for Phil!? Was buying everyone out the last ditch effort?

These statements by Phil are really really fucking stupid.

The idea that people wont come to Xbox because they've got big digital libraries elsewhere is stupid. It's basically saying that someone with a Steam library would never buy a Playstation, or a Switch, because they already have a bunch of games. People like new things PHIL!!!! Just because I have a big library here, doesn't mean I would also build a collection of good games elsewhere.

But of course Xbox hasn't made a good game in two generations. Hi-Fi Rush is the first IP Xbox released since the original Gears or some shit. How can this idiot be surprised that his console sucks when they've done nothing with the console in the first place. An Economy of Forza games, and a rare Halo release is not going to sustain anybody. You bought up a shit load of studios Phil so why aren't you USING them!? What was the point of buying game developers if not to make games!? Explain that shit to me to fucking douche.

How has Phil not been fired yet? How? He clear has no fucking idea what the fuck is going on.
