He saw something related to "Dark" and saw some files that led him to believe that it was a shooter that The Coalition was helping on (but not the main dev) and he had reason to believe Joanna Dark was connected to it.
wonder who the lucky guy was
Yep, I'd honestly prefer Rare making new IP rather than going to their old franchises.
Dark Tide. It's a horror short story and yes we think they are making a horror game based on it.
They aren't making a new IP. They're making Sea of Thieves content with a team of 100+ people and it's divided into multiple teams with each team working on different content/features for fast content updates.
And he hinted at that years ago. Plans can change. In fact, it's very possible Rare is working on Sea of Thieves for the rest of this generation and Daniel Gallagher's team (if he's leading a new studio, so this is theoretical not factual) could be a new IP factory.
Not quite as Matt Booty's also supervises the Shannon Loftis team.
We know about it. It's a foldable mobile device (phone, laptop and tablet 3-in-1) that runs full desktop Windows 10 and can essentially run Win32 applications in a UWP container to be revealed sometime this year.
I'm all in to have games with only k/m input, but they need to work on having k/m emulation with the controller at a system level.
FH4 is unannounced. There obviously will be more though - on what scale remains to be seen.
A 100+ live team has taken over SOT now that it is launched, that has been the plan for years. The whole reason they have a incubation team is to allow for a smooth transfer between projects, Rare with the release of SOT was 218 staff and they continue to hire. That 218 staff doesn't include members of the studio that haven't worked on SOT, like the incubation team which is why Louise O'Connor (Head of incubation team) isn't in the credits. There has also been a job listing for a new IP, this would line up with everything we know from insiders, what Rare has said and how we know Rare is set-up internally.
They have been hiring a ton in the last year, it's been a point of discussion in the thread for a while. Also were did you get the 112 and 104 numbers from? Rare started of small with SOT and has grown to be able to accommodate their 100+ live team, that seems to be the most obvious answer why. It's been their plan for a while, hiring late into development to avoid redundancies as they transfer the teams more than likely.
Nope thats not contractors, contractors are listed separately.
Nice catch, hopefully we see some of them at E3. The link just goes to MS linkedin, do you know what producer it is?
Ah public filings ok, we knew they were 100+ back in early 2017 so we know they have grown a lot since then. Also Craig Duncan in a interview with IGN stated 180 people were working on SOT, so rapid growth indeed.
Wow they needed help? Really wanna know what happened during development ...
