High Moon Studios

I- You don't have a large enough team.

The w- At their peak, and this is prevalent to Arc Raiders, this is a very, very relevant conversation to can your game survive with PVE content, okay? At its peak, Destiny had High Moon Studios and Vicarious Visions and 8 or 900 Bungie employees all working on something for Destiny, okay? They were doing parallel development.

So you had, like, for example, Season of Opulence, Vicarious Visions did that.

They did an excellent job.

Hmm.

Um, but Transformers: War for Cybertron, absolutely brilliant game, I think by a company called High Moon Studios.

Uh, if you're into Transformers or necessarily of the age where you're into, like, G1 Transformers, Transformers the movie, I don't mean the Michael Bay one, which I've grown to love over time, but I mean the OG G1 cartoon with the, uh, heavy metal soundtrack.

Transformers: War for Cybertron allows you to be a Transformer like no other.

Was it developed internally by Activision or was there another s- Did they just publish it? I presume they just published it.

Uh-

'Cause Activision published War for Cybertron, but it was made by High Moon Studios.

Yeah.

Planet X, PX-03 Neptune 2014, and PX-04 Summoners 2014-'15.

Based on High Moon Studios Fall of Cybertron designs where the action takes place, well, on Cybertron, and yet they still transform into dinos for some reason.

Zeta Toys, EX-04 Dinokong, Roar and Muddy 2018 as part of a box set.

Now, before you start accusing Zeta of naming unoriginality, this is essentially a redo of the Toy World set with better deco and some improvements from a company started by former disgruntled Toy World designers.

So...

With this new Halo Studios that they're going to build, they have Highmoon and Raven, Demonware, and Beenox that can help them.

And Highmoon, you know, Highmoon is the team that made the Cybertron Transformers games, and now they make rocks and trees for Call of Duty.

So...

They can build a purpose-built studio, and then they can fold in some of the Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward, or Treyarch people to say, hey, this is how we do multiplayer.

yeah that um it's just like high moon with deadpool and that whole thing happened and that game was a success by all intents and purposes

High Moon Studios with a lot of their games, like all their Transformers stuff too.

So further cuts in the future of the developers seems to rest on E-Day's success, though even success doesn't seem to matter much with the Xbox bloodbath.

So it could be record-breaking, the highest rated, a whole new startup for the series, and they're still going to get canned.
