There are cultures in teams though that live on after people leave though I agree the most important factor is the team lead and how they are running the project.

Interesting article with some good points. Unfortunately it is usually just a marketing ploy when the majority of the talent/creative force of a studio are long gone but gamers are led to believe it is the same original crew

P.S. Criterion should have made Black 2 years ago when it was stil the same team

The article kind of meanders around, but I do think that gamers jump on marketing band wagons way too quickly.

And the band wagon is both ways. Gamers jump on the "Oh, that studio/publisher is bad" band wagon just as fast as they jump on the "That studio only makes great games" band wagon.

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
