Can you leak any of the new brands
Not if I want to keep my job.. and I want to keep my job
Nah let's have some real talk here:
There are some things that are pretty much set in stone when it comes to brands for FS19, there are also brands we are still in the talks with. We will announce them at a later date (for some of them it might be very late).
Same goes for more features and stuff. I know you guys would love to know more about the game, but I don't have much to say right now. Let me give you a short overview about why (a very simplified version, but yeah).
So there is the feature list in our office OK? It's a list where a lot of people have added things they want for FS19. It's a looooong list. I, myself, added the stuff from our FS19 forum threads, as I'm your voice in our company, that's what I'm here for.
Of course they are sorted by priority. Starting at the top, our bosses will take the features and assign them to teams (or people will point at one and say: I can do that!)
Then we start developing them.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they work more or less and sometimes they don't.
Once they are done, we work down the priority path.
So that means, at this stage in development, not all features have been decided. Sure that was a VERY simplified version of how it's actually happening (and priorities get shifted around, sometimes low prioroty things are so easy to do that they get done anyway ect ect so yeah.. very very simplified), but that's how every game in the world gets developed
(more or less).
So once we have stuff we can talk about, we will.
There is one more layer: Marketing. Let's give a simple example here: This trailer.
As you might imagine, creating a trailer like this is expensive. Even IF I had things to announce right now, I wouldn't, as the focus this week is clearly the trailer and the FS19 announcement, otherwise marketing would kill me (and that's easy for them, I'm part of the team so they sit around me). Some announcements need a good timing.
A prime example in the gaming sector is E3 in June. That's where all major game companies announce things like new games ect. Do you wonder if there will be a new Elder Scrolls game? E3 will tell you. Ever thought about EA and what their next Star Wars game could be? Keep an eye on E3 ... ect. That's pure marketing and sure, our company is no different, sometimes things are not announced for marketing reasons.
As of now, however, most things are not announced because we are still in early development
but seriously Giants I can not fricking waaaaait. So I know y'all don't have requirements yet but I do hope that I can run the game on max settings. I can now with about 80-85% Gpu usage so fingers crossed
