4 top tier single player games developers tasked to build live service games.
Naughty Dog hasn’t released anything new, both sequels then silence. Suicide Squad kills the game studio. At least Arkane and Bioware are given chances to carry on with the next game.
We could have had the next big WB superhero game or Wolverine. Prey 2? There’s a higher chance of Amy Henning working on a Soul Reaver game than ND coming out with an original IP
Yes. Even though a lot of it never made it into the final product, it still scared off a lot of their talent over the course of development, and the game retained the always online component.
How soon we forget. Anthem followed Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer. There’s also The Old Republic, but they staffed up a different location for that one.
Holy shit, Anthem! I had completely blanked on that game despite spending a few hundred hours playing it during the pandemic with a friend who lived a continent away.
We figured we might never see each other again so that was how we hung out. Man, that game was so amazingly mid.
