This is always taken out of context. Even Kamiya said it wasn't meant as an insult, just that Inafune is very good at the business side of the industry.

I forget it.
Sea of Thieves is another game where the previews where really positive like Horizon... and not the writer trying to find excuses to expect the game looks good in final release.

Whatever will Microsoft do without you five dollars?
I'm still going to buy this. $32 at Best Buy with gcu and I can trade it in if I want.

Not fund a sequel or any other project from Inafune or Armature.

I was really hoping this game would do better 
.
.Time to uncheck that "greatest games" bullet point I guess
That's gotta sting though considering the ridiculous hype for this game during that first years where it existed as nothing more than a logo and some CGI.
Ah well, I might let my preorder stand out of sheer morbid curiousity if nothing else.

yep. sorta goes to show that what might appear to be a relatively 'simplistic' series like r&c in actuality has a helluva lot going on under the hood

Ryse?
I wouldn't say hype was "ridiculous". I was definitely intrigued after that initial reveal though.Time to uncheck that "greatest games" bullet point I guess

Yeah, but they were pretty senior staff, including Mark Pacini, who was the lead designer on all three of the Prime games.
That being said, Armature is doing a great job of proving how you leave more than a position behind when you leave Nintendo. Though Inafune's reputation is tarnished at this point, even at his peak as a producer, he's no EAD.
You'd think what happened to Rare would have taught them that lesson.

Yikes, scores are brutal. Was hoping this would do well as it sounds like the type of game i would really love. I don't have the patience for mediocrity anymore though. Oh well.

Ryse? Quantum break to an extent. Only one with that pure quality is Ninten...starfox zero..do

10 minutes into the game and two major glitches.

Ryse is a solid game though. The story gets weird but the gameplay is good outside of a few boss fights. I haven't played QB but I agree that it can be considered disappointing (at least the response to it).
Imo Ryse is actually underrated.

Pretty sure Ryan from IGN said they wouldn't hit the embargo time due to getting the code late on Friday. I guess they want to spend more time with the game to give a proper review.
At this point, Rare is looking like the best of any of the former big Nintendo partners. Both Factor 5 and Silicon Knights quickly became grossly mismanaged shambles, Left Field Productions never did anything even a quarter as high profile, and that one studio made up of former Pikmin team members disappeared off the face of the planet after Army Corps from Hell. Who knows how big a bullet Sakurai was able to dodge when he came back to the fold.
I'm already wary of how Monster Games is going to turn out, and all Nintendo really had for them by the end of their partnership was ports.

A lot of people liked Ryse. Even the multiplayer was a lot of fun. It had one terrible review where the reviewer said that dialing a phone number was more fun, but I think in the end, after more and more people played the game, that reviewer was deemed incorrect.
Considering how people were kicking and screaming since that CGI trailer that this was the real Retro working on a proper Metroid Prime spiritual sequel, despite every single gameplay trailer showing that the game was obviously bad, i'm not sure that lesson will ever be learned.
Quantum Break and SF0 aren't bad games in any way.

It's sitting at just as bad a meta ad recore so going off the original posters logic than recore isn't a miss either.

This was never gonna become a franchise for MS. If Sunset Overdrive doesn't get a sequel this won't.

Getting a Enslaved: Odyssey to the West vibe from this game. Super ambitious game with a lot of heart and good ideas, held back from greatness by an equal parts lack of budget and time.
Will probably pick it up though. Eventually.

Quantum break is at 77 or 78. I'd hardly say that was a bad game. And Ryse is fun just really repetitive but it also doesn't overstay it's welcome

Like they sunk all that money into Scorpio and forgot about the other games.

We don't know exactly what happened when Pacini, Keller, Matthews, and other employees departed Retro, whatever it was didn't seem to indicate it was on good terms. I'd say this is very unlikely.
It also depends on the budgets. Subset looked to be a lot higher budget than Recore.
I think more specifically, Nintendo having great managerial skills to help mold raw talent into something more focused and polished is the magic that a lot of developers tap into while working with them and can't replicate if and when they go their separate ways.

Considering where Nintendo is at right now, it's more their loss than the studio.
Edit: Well, more of a loss for specific franchises, like Metroid.

Wait what? Monster is ditching Nintendo?
Considering the complete lack of fanfare for Monster's next game, which is releasing tomorrow, I don't think I can share that opinion.
They signed a long-term deal with the company that's publishing their NASCAR game.

Ryse is setting on 60 on metacritic. I'd say that's more than one guy giving a bad review. Every game has it's fans, but Ryse was a flop review wise.

These are my thoughts. They also say it's like a "fetch-quest" later on because you need disco-looking cores to access more places or whatever, but I'm going to be exploring and getting cores anyway.
It's sort of like how with Xenoblade X people kept complaining about metting exploration requirements before continuing the story missions. This literally was a non-issue for me because I was meeting those requirements just by playing the game.
It's basically about the same score as the only other original game Armature made which is Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate.
People constantly overhyped this game being by the Metroid Prime developers but I don't feel like that was ever really true. It was by a few of the Metroid Prime developers who formed Armature.
