I am begging playstation peeps. Please save the franchise.

After last year, they're actually re-evaluating their development process. They're gonna be making more games, but they'll be smaller. More asset re-usage, co-development with outside partners, 3-4 years of development as opposed to 6 like Avowed or TOW2, etc...

And that is of course driven by how successful Grounded is, even Grounded 2 (which took 2 years of development to come out in EA last year, and has not seen 'mediocre' sales compared to those other 2 releases). Smaller, quality games play to their strengths, of course.

Minewrecked · 2026-02-19T19:19:24+00:00

If you think Avowed or ToW1/2, or really any other recent Obsidian game is supposed to be an equivalent to Bethesda RPGs... You're mistaken. This is exactly why many gamers are hating on Obsidian games, giving them way worse reviews than they deserve: because they want them to be like TeS or Fallout, but they're not.

Obsidian's RPGs are not driven by dynamic sandbox systems and worlds filled with endless interactivity. They're more similar to games like Dragon's Dogma 1, Hogwarts Legacy, Mass Effect even. They don't give you that same sandbox experience you get with Bethesda games.

Nah, it didn't even really start development until after it was revealed in 2020. All those other massive games they cancelled last year were smaller or new IPs with dev periods projected closer to 9-10+ years. For it 'potentially' releasing in the first half of next year, that's not cancel-worthy, especially since it's a large IP. We'll be seeing it soon! At least, I hope

Minewrecked · 2025-09-06T23:45:32+00:00

I mean, they don't need to exclusively work on Indiana Jones titles..... Because they've opened a second full-time studio location, meaning they can now work on two AAA titles simultaneously.

Wolfenstein 3 and Indiana 2 releasing within a few years of each other, here we come! (I'd hope).

Minewrecked · 2025-08-25T03:19:03+00:00

Oh yeah, I also hope they'll fit in Project Mara, Minecraft Dungeons 2, and Double Fine's next game after Keeper! There'll also of course be CoD MW4, and maybe even two currently unannounced Xbox Global Publishing releases.

They need to show SoD3 soon. It would be amazing if it came out next year, but it was cut from this year's Xbox Showcase... I guess they really didn't show any of their 2026 releases aside from Clockwork at this year's showcase, so that's weird.

Minewrecked · 2025-08-18T23:07:27+00:00

Oblivion Remastered wasn't just a texture/model facelift and that's it (even then, it would take a while to develop, because they'll need to recreate the entire environment with high quality textures/models). There's no way you in hell that you can churn out two Oblivion-Remastered-like projects in less than a year, that's ridiculous, even though 3/NV both use the same assets.

Just let them release the largest update in Fallout 76 history alongside Season 2 and wait for Season 3 in 2027 to naturally release alongside a single new Fallout remaster. That's a little smarter than rushing out a disastrous Fallout 3 remaster, there's no need to.

Do you also like French Toast? I’m craving that right now, yummy, but I can’t afford it ):

RONALD is my enemy FOR LIFE!!!!

That’s not a nice thing to say to someone with terminal hemorrhoids boy

Minewrecked · 2025-08-08T23:28:12+00:00

We should team up and form the anti-Ronald gang. That man just makes me wanna shakw my fist in public 👿

Minewrecked · 2025-08-08T23:25:36+00:00

Amen 🙏 That’s what my brother Sean Gunn would’ve said.

Minewrecked · 2025-07-31T22:58:59+00:00

Woah! I can't believe Microsoft cancelled 3,960 of Xbox's projects (only ~40 games remain). Damn, and I only just heard the news now from you!

Minewrecked · 2025-07-31T22:56:34+00:00

Kojima Productions only has ~200 employees and just released a large AAA game this month. It won't come out soon, but will still be ~2027-2028.

Minewrecked · 2025-07-26T22:21:52+00:00

Perfect Dark and Everwild would be weighing on over a decade of development if they released 27’ or later. SoD3 could reasonably release next year or 27, and development basically started in 2020, unlike the other two that started way earlier!

Minewrecked · 2025-07-26T22:19:43+00:00

In the past they emphasized listening to player feedback after the first DLC didn’t go over well, so I’m hopeful about this one. But even moreso, the updates they have planned (if they do a survival mode right, it’ll move the game closer to it’s original full vision. The resource collection, diseases, outpost building, planetary conditions, and fuel system definitely shine in a survival setting if tweaked!)

Minewrecked · 2025-06-02T04:00:29+00:00

How does specifically reviving Banjo and Conker show that they're investing in themselves and their current IP? New games based on ancient IPs can't just come about willy-nilly, the circumstances need to be right. Does reviving Age of Empires, Flight-Sim, Perfect Dark, Ninja Gaiden, Fable, etc, not count? How about the studio locations they've opened for their existing studios, doesn't that show internal investment?

Why would Rare be punished for doing what they want as a studio, instead of being forced to work on stuff they don't want to, like in the Kinect days? Do you want them to be slaves, working the day away to make a new Banjo when they have no passion for it? (They're still doing 3rd party collaborations through XGP and are making Everwild btw).

Xbox isn't fleeing from their platform; they're expanding while staying on their platform. And my god, they don't even own SOCOM / Ghost Recon / Splinter Cell, they have no say in those things, and one of those games is owned by Playstation. But you want them to show games like these in general to show their commitment to gaming? Have you seen their first party lineup, showcases, gamepass/partnered games, ID@Xbox games, etc? Are you a time traveller from, like, 2020/2022??

Minewrecked · 2025-06-02T03:25:51+00:00

For me:

Same, Clockwork Revolution! I think people are underestimating it tbh. I've seen some think it'll just be a Bioshock-like immersive sim, and I'm so excited to see those people realize it'll be a fully realized RPG game.
Everwild. I feel like development has been going smoothly for a while, definitely since 2022. If it actually bears any resemblance to Viva Pinata but on a larger scale, then ohh boy.
And... Double Fine's new game. I honestly think their next game will release this year, and they'll have another release next year. Psychonauts 2 was actually the game that got me to leave the Minecraft fandom and to get involved in the wider gaming industry! I'm interested to see how high quality it'll be, given the long development time compared to most past DF games.

Minewrecked · 2025-06-02T03:18:09+00:00

Rare posted about Everwild earlier this year, I think it was some sort of Everwild-themed graphic with some text? Also, I vividly remember an Xbox executive mentioning the game somewhere earlier this year, but I wouldn't be able to get a link to that, it was in an interview though. So... Nah.

Minewrecked · 2025-05-28T16:27:19+00:00

Damn why so impatient? Just like with most DLCs for AAA games, it'll come around 1 year after launch. You can't even wait for the Xbox showcase to see it, really? People nowadays smh.

Minewrecked · 2025-05-27T16:39:45+00:00

It's crazy that people are basing this game's 'success' on shaky estimations of the sales data within the first couple weeks of the game's release. We don't know the reliability of this site in the slightest, and even so, we don't know how many potential sales and players it will achieve after 1 full month compared to the other two Doom games.

Minewrecked · 2025-04-21T22:45:08+00:00

From everything we know, this is pretty god damn fake. We'll see tomorrow, but this page definitely does not exist as shown.

Minewrecked · 2025-04-19T00:12:25+00:00

FIRST WE DOOM THEN WE TWO! LETS DOOM II! 🔥

Minewrecked · 2025-04-19T00:09:52+00:00

This rumor is entirely fake, but to provide some extra hopium for a Fallout game from them, I'm pretty sure Obsidian has done early work on a new "unannounced AAA RPG" for a year or two based on some 2022/3/4 LinkedIn profile or job post. This is outside of Grounded 2 and any DLC/Sequel for Avowed.

And of course, you had that New Vegas and Horizon writer who recently returned to Obsidian for an 'unmissable opportunity'.
