Just listening to the latest episode of Videogamer Podcast and 24 mins in, they're talking about pressures on devs,

At this point an off hand comment from Miller is that there is a game coming out soon that is "apparently completely broken".

Any ideas?

Edit:

In the Patreon-exclusive extra podcast, they mention these games as ones they're looking forward to without any allusions to them being broken:

Rise Of The Tomb Raider
Fallout 4
Star Wars: Battlefront

So I think these can be discounted.

kulapik · Sep 24, 2015

Tony Hawk? Fallout? So many candidates, so vague.

texore · Sep 24, 2015

I'd like to think they wouldn't let it happen again, but my money's on AC

Hatchtag · Sep 24, 2015

I'd be honestly kinda surprised if all three versions of Fallout 4 and Battlefront work well.

kitschbeam · Sep 24, 2015

Tony Hawk

KingBroly · Sep 24, 2015

Has to be Battlefront IMO

PetriP-TNT · Sep 24, 2015

It's Tony Hawk

LewieP · Sep 24, 2015

Might just be echoing these reports.

Although Fallout 4 isn't that far off so they could be referring to that rather than having any inside info.

I wouldn't even classify Unity as "completely broken" and there's no way Ubisoft allows Syndicate to launch in a worse condition than Unity.

TechnicPuppet · Sep 24, 2015

I'd bet AC as well. Give the game a rest for one bloody year.

That's what brought up the general conversation. The additional comment made it seem like he had heard a specific game was completely broken.

Escalario · Sep 24, 2015

I wonder if it's about Battlefront, considering this post.

DKHF · Sep 24, 2015

I don't think it will be Fallout 4, or that F4 will be as broken as many are saying considering the core game was done before it was announced. The five months since announcement are being spent on polish/fixing bugs so it would be pretty crazy if that game was hugely broken. Some small bugs yes but not completely broken.

Hot Coldman · Sep 24, 2015

Just one?

GamerJM · Sep 24, 2015

Please don't be Rock Band because that's the only big western release I'm really anticipating

JumPeRJumPzZ · Sep 24, 2015

Halo 5?

Yeah they were talking about that report which brought up the comment; sounds like he knows something more specific.

Oersted · Sep 24, 2015

In doubt Battlefront and Assasins Creed. They have a legacy to defend.

Hot Coldman said:

Sad truth.

Stevey · Sep 24, 2015

Probably Tony Hawk 5, or Battlefront

Ninja Scooter · Sep 24, 2015

Good thing this news outlet is laughing about it while consumers potentially blindly buy this game.

Ooh, k, that does sound bad.

bigjig · Sep 24, 2015

They laughed later when talking about how AC needs to better this year, so I'm putting my money on that

Damn if true

Something about the launch will probably go horribly wrong. Halo MCC didn't work

and still doesn't 45 weeks in

and Halo 4 had filesharing issues and issues with some of its season pass content being given away for free.

jmaine_ph · Sep 24, 2015

Battlefront or AC would not release broken. No way in hell would those games release like that after what happened last year.

ultrazilla · Sep 24, 2015

Whatever game it is needs to be named and
shamed. This borders on criminal. Knowingly
releasing a broken game is totally unacceptable.

Not going by July's alpha. I doubt a broken game would have a public beta in a few weeks as it would be counter productive.

lostcauz · Sep 24, 2015

If we are talking matchmaking, Rainbow 6......

If I was to bet I'd put a tenner on it not being AC.

If Ubi are smart, and lets give them some credit, the game will launch in a fit state after last year.

My money is on Tony Hawk considering the recent art style change.

Mr. Enigma · Sep 24, 2015

Tony Hawk 100%.

Ninja Scooter · Sep 24, 2015

who said anything about preordering?

Alphas *can* be broken.

Markitron · Sep 24, 2015

I can't see Ubisoft letting AC launch like that again, IMO I think they would push it first this time.

I'd say it's Fallout but I hope I'm wrong and it's Halo instead.

bigjig · Sep 24, 2015

Ninja Scooter said:

How would you be blindly buying the game without preordering it?

Klossen · Sep 24, 2015

Sort of tragic how a season of geniune excitement for upcoming games have turned into a pessimistic betting game for what game will be launched in the most broken state. After last year, I don't blame anyone becoming bitter though.

JinjoUnchained · Sep 24, 2015

Hmm, what upcoming games have review embargoes that end AFTER release? Like AC last year. That would be my guess.

SolidSnakex · Sep 24, 2015

Escalario said:

There's no way that they'd risk an open beta test if it were in a completely broken state.

grandjedi6 · Sep 24, 2015

Poor Tony Hawk. Never had a chance.

Ninja Scooter · Sep 24, 2015

bigjig said:

You walk into a store within days of it's release and buy it, like tons of people do? When I say blindly I mostly mean blind to the possibility that the game is broken in some way. It's just sort of telling of the state of games media and how they can be complicit in these issues. Whatever this game is, how much you want to bet review scores won't reflect these issues?

Battlefield 4's beta was pretty damn great on PC. The full release was a mess. The beta map didn't even work for a huge amount of players.

Zukuu · Sep 24, 2015

How can anyone not think it's AC after last year's debacle Unity?

spons · Sep 24, 2015

Either a big budget AAA game, or Tony Hawk.

kenta · Sep 24, 2015

Not even a moment's hesitation on this one: my money is on Battlefront. Every single multiplayer game DICE has ever put out has had serious problems for weeks/months after launch and I don't know why this would be any different

120v · Sep 24, 2015

I'd be devastated if it was Fallout 4 but it would be pretty LOL at the same time considering how confidently it's been rolled out

The Lone Courier · Sep 24, 2015

NBA Live?

impact · Sep 24, 2015

Fallout 4

AHA-Lambda · Sep 24, 2015

I'd be amazed if it's AC, just as Syndicate seems so unambitious compared to Unity.
