And I was getting so hopeful after Mitsoda got canned and the game got pushed back indefinetely. Auteur theory is a fuck, Mitsoda has basic gen-x’er humor and I’m glad he’s gone. Why the fuck did they decide to pivot into this Fallout 4 type dreg though? The main character is going to have an established backstory and everything.
Why make an RPG if you don’t want players to role play?
I’m confused as to why you’re happy that the guy who is the only reason the game was being made at all got fired with zero explanation
Fair confusion, I think it might be due to a difference of perception. As far as I’m aware Mitsoda wasn’t the only reason the game was being made - He got hired on to develop it after the decision to make a new game had been made. He got fired due to constant delays, changes in scope and narrative, and (as far as I can glean) due to being a shitty boss. It’s a lot of accusations hidden behind NDAs and the like though, so there’s no real way to know one way or another.
In general I am just very sceptic of any “auteur” when it comes to games. Especially when said lead has a track record of making bloated and never-ending projects.
