7 years for a budget game like Hi-fi Rush?

The narrative was that Ninja Theory were making a big AAA under their new masters. How are they going to spin this?

That's what I thought too, I was under the impression that they were getting a big budget to really let loose with the franchise.

Anyway.... I must try the first game now and see what it's like.

You could give Nincompoop Theory $10 billion and they’d still produce an underwhelming turd of a game.

Why do you think Sony didn’t buy them after Heavenly Sword?

Anytime somebody would ask the release date they would say Ninja Theory are making their first big AAA. Let them cook. And now it's a small AA? Reality doesn't match once again.

I wouldn't bother with the first one. It's trash. Wait until it's on PS+.

This just confirms it's a one and done game, and they don't want people to sell their used copies.

What about that project Mara, it was literally them scanning their own studio and pretending that was a game and Xbots ran with it.

I'm starting to get a feeling all these studios are just playing MS, going on filed trips, demos instead of games, they are absurdly unproductive.
Mara, that cgi staircase? Lol i remember. Its on every bot list. Road mappppl

These studios realised they re on MS payroll, they dont have pressure, no competition, take their time, get nice wages, trils and enjoy life. They need to ship GP filler sometimes and thats it

Is it true that the budget is $15 million? That can’t be right if it's been in development for 7 years.

Seems a lot of dev time for such a short experience. I'm sure it'll be good but wonder why it took so long in that case

if I want to see what mental illness looks like, I can just read posts from Xbox fanboys instead of paying good money for a shitty game.
