Also, Stanley Parable's Ultra Deluxe Edition is now out. Can get it for 16 bucks on steam until May 4th. Not really MS-related but it was brought up in a past thread so figured Id mention it

Def even bigger responsibilities now as head of creative for a singular studio. In Joe we trust
The info that surprised everyone wasn't the fact flying simply "exists" in the game... it's that you went out of your way to say the engine is garbage and you find the flying to be horrible. Not typical of someone to say if they don't want any attention on them, especially since you've already been banned for a similar thing. Sorry to be harsh, I'm just clarifying why people might be questioning you harder than normal.
Are there any big surprises that we are not expecting for Starfield?
Even more interesting is the fact that this guy claimed to be from an indie studio a few months ago. I don't think this adds up at all but me being wrong would be welcome if there's evidence
I'm seeing the indie developer stuff as well and a few months ago he wanted to protect his identity and now he's telling the world who he is…. this is weird to say the least. I hope we can get clarification soon.
Last time when RPG Time was only available in the MS store, this was their response.
The best advice I could give is to use the feedback/support option in the app and let them know. Or tag dylan directly via Twitter.
Funny enough, I've just double checked the PC Game Pass app and can find RPG Time in my library or via search:
Just weird PC Store things!
Without weighing in on whether I think it's true or not - he always said that he worked for a major company while developing his own game on the side.

Yeah, RPG Time is there (also installed on both PC/Xbox). Just found it weird because i could understand RPG Time since it does not have the Play Anywhere tag, but since Romancing Saga has, it should be there. Their reasoning sucks lol i understand it not _being_ there, but then put it there :P
Yeah, pretty much my take. Not the first time I've notice that this individual seeming to bask in the attention that some of their spicier comments create. And lets's face it, to refer to Startfield's engine as "garbage" is rather spicy. You might even say inflammatory.
I tend to trust the mods in their verification process, but I would still take these recent comments with a HEAVY dose of salt. Something just seems off.
Despite that, the mods on the main Starfield sub have already deleted the post... after the majority of users called it fake/bullshit, rightly so.
I initially had no reason to doubt the veracity, but the way this is turning into a Q&A session feels like clout-chasing.
Dozens of people roll off big projects mid-production, and they don't just roll up on message boards with all their impressions and insights on the game.
Definitely a weird vibe.
NDAs don't typically disappear because you leave a company. In fact they would typically strengthen. I don't see Bethesda or Microsoft as the kind of companies that would just say have it. This same guy said Starfield was not going to hit the target date then claimed he never said the game was going to be delayed and now he's posting about Starfield and Redfall both being in less than ideal shape. Maybe it's all true but people should know this isn't an isolated negative outlook.

What is game breaking in FH5 patch? I haven't played FH yet after the patch, because I got into Gears 5 again and play with the MCC campaigns. The now saving icon spun endlessly for me three times yesterday. Had to kill it and relaunch.
Im sure once you get verified itll put an end to this though.

All a verified tag means is that they work in the industry. It doesn't really mean anything beyond that, their posts should be met with the same scrutiny as any other poster.
Doesnt know what an NDA is, also claims to work at/own a small company, keeps posting extremely vague but negative statements. Weird vibes indeed.
Hopefully they get verified soon enough so people can stop arguing about this.
We are going down the same rabbit hole as we did at the beginning of the year with this individual before they got banned. Can we move on?
So you own and run a company in your spare time while also working at a major game studio?
I'd actually love for the mods to chime in and specifically confirm whether this individual did in fact work for Bethesda or not at any point before last week.... but yes, we have to move on because this is not going anywhere without actual mod intervention.
In development? It came out years ago on DS I thought? It wasn't called Blue Dragon 2 but was definitely a straight up sequel to Blue Dragon
ya, that be nice. I mean, they claimed the same thing on Feb 6 saying they just left BGS. That wasnt last week, so idk. Hey, at least we arent banging the japanese topic again.
Oh man, I'd repressed this game's existence from my memory.
They did a third one too!
I don't blame you honestly, especially with how active you are here in the Xbox OT.
You'd constantly be getting asked about any rumors or game development questions lmao
I find it hard to believe and off-putting. There would obviously be some kind of NDA since this isn't an every day occurrence in the game space. They also often post their Youtube/Twitter profiles which seems....very traceable for MS.
So the engine is shit because you have to implement things into it. Lol. Like, I legit laughed out loud. And that's coming from a character artist whose work has nothing to do with programming and the code. Hevy, how do you implement your characters into the engine? Why is it your job, exactly? Unless Creation Engine 2 works completely differently from the Creation Engine, it's very easy to implement things into it. Amateur modders do it without issues.
There are so many red flags about this guy. Him not knowing that NDA doesn't stop as soon as you stop working on the game is one of them. Him refusing to answer direct questions under the pretense of not wanting to spoil the surprise when he has no problems saying some vague negative stuff. The list goes on.

Yeah, he did work for bethesda for a long time actually. You actually need to provide positive proof of such things to get a verified tag on Era. So yeah, he worked for bethesda.
good. I can go get lunch now thats all done and over with /s Seriously though, are there any other interesting topics for today?
Thanks for answering all these!
Can you shed a little more light on what you think it's not great about the engine? I think a lot of people had big expectations on the new version of the Creation Engine
Have you ever worked on game development? The agressiveness because he doesn't like some of the Bethesda's tools is becoming really, REALLY weird, especially since we have confirmation that he, in fact, worked at Bethesda.
Thanks!
That's the part that let's the air out of it. I'm not as interested in playing A mandolorian as I am in playing THE Mandolorian.
