Did any demo or whatnot showed up and was very poor for them to need to address like the previous 2 team done a lousy job?

Yep, reason why I don't think they should have been exposed or throw under the bus. Certainly there would be a better way of saying they are shifting the dev from one team to another.

Well it can be seem this way. I guess the regroup and reanalyze is where it can get complicated, but as someone else said that can be understood as going from AA to AAA remake and just and admission of those 2 studios not being there yet (which also isn't much nice to say in the open).

Oursourced is the wrong word. Inexperienced support studios is the right word.

At this point I assume they want to make it AAA, versus that AA looking budget title that it originally looked like.

Seems odd that they’ve yet to say it will release on PS5 and Series X. At this rate it could very well end up being one of the last PS4 and Xbox One releases, if it even releases on them at all.
