apparently they hired new studio to fix the remake
| Quote: | To achieve the quality standards and offer an optimal gaming experience, Microids decided to entrust the development of XIII Remake to the French studio Tower Five (Lornsword: Winter Chronicle). Hard at work for more than a year on a major update. This update will be released on September 13th.
On that date, owners of the game will receive a free update and enjoy the game as intended. The development studio reworked the entire game from the Art Direction to the AI and added numerous technical improvements. |

That's supposed to be one hell of a miracle patch, haha. Honestly, the best way to replay the game (which is what I did a few weeks back) is to just grab the Unofficial patch for the original et voilà: https://www.moddb.com/games/xiii/downloads/xiii-all-in-one-installer
The only issue is the low-resolution cutscenes, but there's an AI-Enhanced mod for those as well.

Reading about the development of this remake by the previous devs, the CEO seems to be an asshole.
| Quote: | Commenting anonymously to avoid retaliation from PlayMagic, these employees told me that XIII’s development suffered from poor project management, a lack of staff, and low morale due to a toxic company culture. They claimed these issues went beyond just XIII, saying that staff at PlayMagic regularly crunched to hit milestones on work-for-hire projects, frequently butted heads with the CEO and creative director Giuseppe Crugliano, and often struggled to pay bills due to late payments from the developer.
In order for things to improve at PlayMagic, they argue, Crugliano needs to delegate more, be realistic about the scope of the projects he takes on, and better safeguard his employees from the company’s ups and downs. |
| Quote: | From May 2016 to June 2018, PlayMagic worked on a mobile VR adaptation of 4A Games’ first-person sci-fi shooter Arktika.1 for Oculus Go and Gear VR — a game that casts the player as a survivor scavenging in the aftermath of a new ice age. My sources say this project experienced many of the same issues as the XIII remake, with staff working overtime to hit “unrealistic” milestones.
PlayMagic allegedly dedicated little time to pre-production or planning, despite the technical challenges of working in VR, and the team on the project consisted mostly of interns and juniors. Some more experienced developers joined the studio in 2017, but by this point, many saw the game as “a house of cards,” arguing that poor decision-making early on had led to constant changes to try and salvage it.
One former employee told me, “It was always the same situation — working with inexperienced people. Those that would join with a little bit more experience were very frustrated because of the fact he [Crugliano] would make unrealistic promises to publishers… we were just lying to clients. That was the reality.” |
