Downgrade me if old.
I think Patrick Klepek said he'd heard it was troubled before Covid even hit, so this doesn't shock me. He didn't mention outsourcing issues, tho. They better let this one cook. One shot.
Good to see. OP, you should add this and Mods should change the title to reflect this.
Read the OP. It's very clearly stated there, with context.
The biggest games you can think of outsource a lot. It's not uncommon.
that explains a lot.
Think about how large a Halo game is. Halo has to ship with a campaign, fully featured multiplayer with a variety of maps, Forge, Theater...its a LOT. sure they may be double the size of ND but their games are probably double the size too (at least).
He debunked the multiplayer and single player being split, which isn't even mentioned here.
I mean he literally just talks about that whole thing about Infinite being shipped in parts. He didn't comment on outsourcing claims or dev troubles. Those could still very well be real things.
The source u posted talks about shipping MP with SP nothing to do with this topic about outsourcing ?
Somewhat with also combing all those engines together into one package also being a huge issue.
Not sure . The source says 2019 e3 in engine trailer was done by another company as engine was not in a showing stage to public at all. So I m assuming if in 2019 it was not showable, 2018 would be same?

Sounds like it might have been an offline CGI render
I read the comment by the 343 staff, it doesn't debunk anything that was reported in the OP.
Initially yes, but probably more to do with the release timeline for it. But outsourcing is also the reason it's in great shape today. I believe Splash Damage and Ruffian are working on the game to this day, specifically the PC port (and doing a pretty good job imo)
Like I said in another thread, after this game ships MS needs to look at 343 critically and find out what's going on from top to bottom. Every game 343 has put out has had huge development issues.
