It's in pre-pre-production. Terribly exciting. In the current industry climate that leaves at least half a decade of dodging cancellations, and that's assuming Sega doesn't get profoundly sick of CA regardless of how well the Medieval 3 development is going.

This entire announcement reeks of insincerity, desperation and damage control.

So, I guess we're entering the "we'll be nice from now on, pinky swear" phase of the CA cycle again.

Curious if this leads to better optimisation in video games.

Probably not.

Quoting: StellaI fast-tracked my planned upgrade to AM5 (previously 13600K) because of the RAM prices, I got a nice Crucial 6000-36 32GB kit for 177€, but 2 months earlier it was listed at 90. And now it's listed as 269€ on Amazon, WHAT THE F.
Anyways, I'm very happy I bought the RAM when I did. In half a year I expect 32GB of DDR5 will be a thousand euros/dollars or more.

Same here, though I'm not quite happy about it. Needed to be done, managed to do it before it'd bankrupt me. So, I'm relatively stocked up, but I'm not jumping on those GPUs until enough of them melt due to 12vhpwr issues for that connector to get properly figured out or replaced. Not that AM5 boards toasting those CPUs isn't an issue, but still probably better than buying into the sinking ship that is Intel.

Some of the phrasing and issues addressed. You could add "finally, ffs" to a few of these. Like the security fixes. Maybe it's just me projecting the drama onto these - also possible.

Heavy ex-GF vibes in these notes.

This is a small thing that most likely annoys just me, but I wish they'd patch the Bethesda connection attempt in the Quake 1 port so that it happens only when you actually do something that requires that connection. I love that remaster, but I genuinely cannot stand that gnarly pop-up on startup every. Single. Time.

I don't doubt Colossal Order screwed up here, but I also have the feeling Paradox could have actually helped instead of releasing a broken, unfinished game and then letting it fester for 2 years before "parting ways" with the devs. Whether that was stepping in earlier in development to steer the project, growing the team or providing dev support, or doing whatever the issues called for when it wasn't too late.

I'm sure the new devs will look upon the code in horror and just pump out assets until there is nothing left to milk or until the game can no longer take more. Not their fault, naturally.

Oh, here's a game that actually could use some of that preserving, GOG.

What's that, best you can do is tree fiddy?

With the state the game is in, a year between fairly unremarkable dlc and now this... Looks like they'll be winding it down soon. Skeleton crew vibes.
