Friend of the site Jeff Grubb has just posted a video to his Game Mess channel with a lot of insider updates, including ones for Perfect Dark, Gears 6, and the potential next id Software game.
Jeff Grubb’s Game Mess channel’s latest video has a number of gaming news items. You can find the video HERE:
- Perfect Dark is not in development hell. After talking with more people who have knowledge of the game they said that while it may be rough in some areas it looks great in others.
- Perfect Dark may be at the June showcase
- Gears 6 is still planned to be at the June Showcase though he’s not sure in what form as Xbox is determining “how aggressive” they want to be in presenting it.
- id Software’s new game may be there. He’s unsure if it is DOOM or Quake though he would personally lean towards DOOM. This matches up with the teasing of Tom Warren who capitalized the word DOOM in his report about the recent studio closures.
- A Sony PlayStation showcase should be happening later this month.
- Ghost of Tsushima 2 is “taking longer than expected” because Sucker Punch is working on something else, he hopes it is a Sly Cooper title.
- PlayStation should have Concord and a new Astrobot game at their show.
- Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the 4th title in the series, is looking good and due to release later in 2024.
This Perfect Dark news matches up with a recent leak from noted insider NateTheHate:
” According to respected insider “NateTheHate.” On his Direct Xbox podcast, where he discussed the week of news for the Microsoft subsidiary, he suggests that he had been hearing that not only was Perfect Dark not in trouble, but that he expected the game to be shown off at Xbox’s upcoming showcase.
His exact quote on the matter is, “At this point, I fully expect that we will see Perfect Dark next month, and that some of the more recent rumors may have been outdated information perhaps… I have been hearing things this week that Perfect Dark is not in that bad of a state.”
What are you hoping to see at the Xbox Games Showcase? Sound off in the comments below and let us know.
No suprised at all for the somewhat backtracking here. So much over reacting on the Xbox side of things . Some warranted some not .
A lot of things seems to come down to the cause of someone read or heard it with emotions to fit their desires or simple comprehension issues with “was in” / “had” versus “is” / “has”.
“Update”
aka “backpedal because people with better info contradicted me.”
Even insiders with a “good rep” can blow hot air when they don’t know what they’re talking about.
It’s all good with me. I’ll take any good news now, especially when I was already expecting PD to be one to forget about. Clearly way too quickly on my part, but hey.
