Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 28 May 2023, 09:52 AM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2023, 09:34 AMGachiGasm I'il just live it there for you to figure it out why CoH3 is poopy. https://www.mobygames.com/person/108570/david-littman/ - big boss https://www.mobygames.com/person/67141/aaron-janzen/ - lead sound designer https://www.mobygames.com/person/114702/steven-mele/ - executive produsser https://www.mobygames.com/person/40562/tristan-brett/ - art director (why everything is so bright and mobile basically) Also if you want to look at all devs: https://www.mobygames.com/game/199646/company-of-heroes-3/credits/windows/?autoplatform=true To sum up, while a lot of devs had good experience, majority of leading roles were left to the guys from EA who worked on a failed projects like BF5\BF hardline or strate up were pumping out EA sports games. And this is perfectly explains everything. Why game is super good from a technical side? Because it was made by people who worked with RTS\CoH before and have nothing to so with EA. Why overall design is 50\50, because devs are 50\50 here. And why some areas are complete shit? Figure it out. And on a side note, while you guys shittalk about diversity and why not, female devs at Relic actually have really good and diverse experience in game dev, which is actually some what close to the whole CoH idea. Thank you for the overview. Not sure if it "explains everything" - but it definately shows the lack of competency and potentially dedication for the franchise in leading positions. But most of them are gone now, correct? In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 25 May 2023, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2023, 18:54 PMCrecer13 - We will dedicate the second part of the game entirely to the Eastern Front - lie - We will make the CoH2 single player campaign historical - lie - We will never add M26 Pershing to CoH2 - lie - Historicity is important to us in CoH3 - Black Prince This is just what I remembered in a minute, there must have been other examples. But in general, I perfectly see the price of Relic's words. Man, this is such a bad comparison mate. I see a huge difference in the vague debateable issues listed above and dropping a title entirely. This constant negative exageration is contributing to the difficulties of the launch. Not a fan of your post. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 25 May 2023, 17:00 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2023, 15:24 PMRosbone It seems like some layoffs after a big project is normal. But seeing cuts into management says some are not normal. And it is all so sad because the game was so close to being good. If I was a Relican, I would have been pulling 12 hour days once the release was delayed. And I would have made sure the game was ready. And that is the hard part now. I know for a fact anyone of us here could get this game up to snuff in a couple weeks. But here we sit, 3 months in and its still a mess. And now there is nothing we can do to help. We have to sit and watch this autistic child paint the Sistene Chapel all by himself. Brilliant comment. Feel the same. And despite his autism its just a few strokes away from finishing. But he just doesnt get it done... painful to watch. In: COH3 Central

Both top 2 managers got fired it seems RIP audio and animator team? Credits do NOT go to me, someone on the coh3 discord made this through information via LinkedIn and Twitter primarily. Red means people who got fired yesterday, the other colours are people who left earlier, sometimes many months ago Thank you for sharing, aerafield! In: COH3 Central
Thread: How to save CoH3 from disaster ???24 May 2023, 14:32 PM Jump back to quoted post24 May 2023, 12:46 PMgandamula COH3 is the disaster, it cannot be saved from itself, it's not small details that don't captivate players, it's the whole game, top to bottom. Not at all true. Core game is better than CoH2 - particularly at release. But it lacks a lot of polish and some development. Im going to stay positive, as Relic is trying and has the balls to invest into RTS. If you want to save CoH3 from disaster, we got to be a bit more realistic with the quality of the game. Its still one of the best RTS released in the last decade. Even in its challenging state. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 24 May 2023, 14:27 PM I didnt know Relic had 300+ employees. This is so clearly overbloated, must have been a result of the AOE4 cooperation and its inherent promises. Reading through the message from Justin Dowdeswell (Relic GM) - everything is to blame but his management. But he is running the show for 10y. Of course not a good development. But this should relieve their EBITDA significantly, decreasing insovency risk, and could lead to a lean and focused organisation, as they have to scrap all unnecessary projects. Normally you focus on your core IPs - in this case COH and AoE. Shaky times. Lets see what the next weeks will bring. I will still be positive about Relic as they are one of the very few studios who at least apporach RTS genre in a relevant way. In: COH3 Central

With the little fireplaces and the "freezing barometer"... God, the hate I felt back then I think it was actually the blizzards which made me leave the game for some time and turn to DoWII again..

Thread: Its not looking good for coh321 May 2023, 18:07 PM Jump back to quoted post21 May 2023, 17:49 PMApplejack I thought the massive imbalances were fun. Using E8 at launch was fun. Ost vs Sov was well balanced. T-34 vs Pz4 with no Panthers back in the day was loads of fun imo. Easy8 came with USF/WFA, more than 1 year after release (but Rifle commander was fun indeed for that time )... initial Ost vs Sov was not balanced for a long time (clown cars, sniper, etc.)... CoH2 started to be solid more than 1.5 years after release. Im really not trying to be smart here, I genuinely understand and like your mindset of wanting CoH3 to succeed. But I believe the best way is to stay cool and let things develop - as basic game is great and Relic is on it. In: COH3 Central
