Did someone say...Jeff Grubb?
It had a thorough showing where it looked near complete and pretty great at one of the TGSs about 5 years or so ago give or take. It's a shame it didn't make it into consumers hands.

I was okay until that snake lady got posted. Now I'm deeply depressed.
Was asked in the previous episode so that's why he said it in this one.
Also for the xbox fridge fans, expect a price point of 200 usd

I don’t think job listings could be a good indicator of the health of a project.
The Sony UK VR studio was hiring when Sony shut it down.

But that studio got shut down, this not and posted 5 job offers last month.

Heh, shutting down a whole studio is somehow more critical than cancelling a game. And yet…

That was some kind of promotional stunt used to propel the PS4 launch. Once the console started to sell well is was no longer needed as a deal.

Yes, but a studio owned by Sony is almost always hiring because they have no issues with money.
Wild Sheep instead is a relatively small indie studio, a type of studio who typically is short of budget specially when they have been developing a game for 6 years. So if they are hiring means they are fine and that need some extra help for the final push. I highly doubt that if after 6 years they would have cancelled it they would have been hiring people. Pretty likely they would be fucked up in terms of money so would try to release a shorter game with the team they already have to compensate a bit.

Devs? has nothing to do with devs but with execs and prods.

Rumour has it that development was going fine until John from the Art department suggested that they all watch Black Myth: Wukong gameplay during their lunch break.

Why? This game had 1 trailer in 2015, O-N-E! And no demonstration of what kind of game it was or how it's development is going for the next 6 years!
I don't know how anyone could be excited for something that's clearly vaporware.

Beyond good and evil 2 is next i imagine. Or it will lose all the cool open galaxy/planet stuff they were aiming for and be another boring ubisoft open world slog

And this is why games really shouldn’t even be announced/revealed until 3-6 months before release. We can all count tons of promising games that never saw the light of day.
Starcraft Ghost, Agent, 8 Days, Thrill Kill, Silent Hills, Star Wars 1313, Scalebound, Prey 2, Fable Legends….just add Wild to the list.

Still not as much as The Last Guardian. If WiLD got cancelled Sony took a fat L, even though I support the decision. Even Guerrilla Games got involved to fix the game. Shesh.

According to Grub it was cancelled when Ancel left last year. But the studio did open job positions that specifically mentioned were to work on Wild this February, and did open a few job positions more last month as mentioned in the link you shared.So a month ago this game was explicitly being hired for …..

So Jeff Grubb is lying again.
Ubisoft won't cancel BGE2, they invested too much money on it. I bet they will reduce its scope and will turn it into a more traditional and realistic game to ship it when possible even if it isn't as ambitious as originally planned.

I wouldn't be surprised if its valid to be honest. Ancel has abandoned the ship known as Ubisoft. Even if it isn't I'd imagine it would only be allowed to go through as some F2P/GAAS game like Ubisoft has declared its future to be going on forward.

Given another chance
Can’t be worse than The Last Guardian? Say what!?!?
TLG is a remarkable game….

Looking forward to the episode of Wha Happun? about this.
50% of all software projects get cancelled.
But developed parts might be reused in other projects. So it is not always like an investment is useless if a project is cancelled. Even if it is only that developers learned something.

Agree to disagree. It was a technical nightmare on base PS4 when released and just at best average game.

They don’t get canceled after 6 years.

Wild and Crackdown 3 were two games I thought would end up vaporware, but we did get one of those in the end.
