Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Piles on PS5 Delay Misery

good I would rather they finished it than release it infested with bugs

this release it and fix it later mentality has to stop when do publishers not realise it does more harm then good

Amy Hennig is really unlucky. Given the fact that her last full game was Uncharted 3 (U4 was heavily restructured under Druckmann and Straley). Shes had no luck over the past decade. If we don't see any gameplay or info by March or April, I won't be surprised if they shut the studio.

I get the impression more and more that Amy Hennig "leaving" ND was more on her then them. She's done nothing since ND except lead disasters and vaporware. She's very much part of the old guard who gets by on status alone and still thinks its the 2000's, we're seeing a lot of these key figures from 20 years back put out
crap lately.

@cainhurst94 ye I never like the 3rd uncharted that much either compared to the others was a great game but the 2nd and 4th were miles better

Id be suprised if this isnt cancelled hopefully not we will see though

@DennisReynolds I think it was really on her. iirc she said in one interview that she had a dream of making a Star Wars game, which was the biggest reason she left ND and joined Visceral / EA.

But that stupid article from IGN painted her as if she got unfair treatment and kicked out by Neil Druckman & Bruce Straley.

@cainhurst94 There comes a point when a decade of bad luck might just signal incompetence. I like the original Uncharted trilogy but I guess we know where the cringier lines came from when her only credits since have been a Battlefield game everybody’s memory holed and Forspoken.

This piles on the "delay misery" haha i forgot this game even existed. They showed it once and went radio silent. Hard to build hype or have a place in people's minds when you don't show yourself. Amy Hennig being on this dev team doesn't help matters either

I don’t pay much attention to announcements of years away games since they often change, slip or even die in the interim.

That being said while I respect Hennig as a writer, writing and leading a project are separate skill sets and Hennig hasn’t managed to get anything out the door under multiple publishers.

Is this game even real?

@Dan12836666 U3 probably has the greatest set piece in the series with the Plane but that narrative was a mess. Don't blame ND too much since as per Schreier they were Rushed for that one.

@nessisonett I'm trying to give the benefit of doubt because Skydance is a new studio I think and AAA development is hard but I too am starting to think maybe she's not very good at managing large projects. Didn't know she worked on Forspoken so that's a surprise.

This will get canceled or will be mediocre. I really need Amy Henning to get a win after both canceled SW projects. I still mourn Star Wars 1313.

Now this is delay I care about but I can wait let it cook some more I want this game to be good

This isn't coming out at all, is it?

Crud.

I expected a delay here, but I really want to play this. And no release window is concerning.

Well... given GTA6, it's dangerous to give a new release window. You need to avoid that.

@DennisReynolds uhm, pure conjecture bordering on slander

@nessisonett I get the sense that she's pretty hard to work with, but I don't know if laying Forspoken at her feet is super fair. From what I remember, that script got workshopped to death. Even Gary Whitta (SW Rogue 1) has writing credits on it. Though Hardline is definitely the redheaded stepchild of the Battlefield series, the campaign was actually quite good and I think folks who played it usually agree (with obvious exceptions).

@tameshiyaku Her last game was U3 well over a decade ago and everything she's done since has failed, been cancelled or been poorly received. It gets to the point that you start to think maybe she's the issue. U3 was also a mess from narrative standpoint and pretty bloated and from what we know her version of U4 sounded pretty generic and well bad what with the whole tired long lost evil brother returns trope being the main beat of it.

@DennisReynolds I'm glad Neil rewrite Sam's role from the generic long lost evil brother. And Uncharted 4 arguably has the best main villain + final fight in the series. I don't like any of Uncharted 1-3 generic villains but Rafe character and that sword fight was amazing.

@PuppetMaster Yeah Rafe was a solid villain.

Said this when the game was announced and stand by it. This will inevitably be cancelled at one time or other. Gut feeling.

@PuppetMaster

One of the best final bosses ever! Maybe the most cinematic one.
