Announced, Delayed, Disappeared: The Games Still In Limbo

Announced, Delayed, Disappeared: The Games Still In Limbo https://ift.tt/js6RUQv The days of relatively short development cycles for big-budget AAA games feels like a distant memory, as it's not uncommon for titles to spend many years in development. These days, a five-year production cycle isn't uncommon at all, and some games take the better part of a decade to be released. Such lengthy waits aren't intrinsically bad, as games like Crimson Desert and Doom 2016 were worth the wait. But right now? Numerous studios have been toiling away on their respective projects, keeping out of the spotlight and offering little to no updates along the way. Some of them have undergone drastic overhauls behind the scenes, and others were announced way too early with slick teaser trailers that were designed to excite fans and recruit people to the project.

Before the trio pitched Cobra Kai to be made, they were actually rather successful in the world of raunchy R-rated films. Hurwitz and Schlossberg were the writers behind the Harold & Kumar films, before they teamed with Heald to write both Hot Tub Time Machine films. So, if anything, Obliterated is their way of going home again, after several years writing for teenage characters. Still, the change was a shock to the system, at first.

"It was like going off of an extreme diet and just eating like all the fast food and comfort food that you would want, because we come from that R-rated world," Schlossberg explained. "We love comedy that pushes the envelope. Working on Cobra Kai, that tone doesn't really play into the Karate Kid universe. So we don't use that part of our brains when we write Cobra Kai."
