I was shocked when it was announced. A game made 9 years ago that no one was really asking for a remake of for full retail of $60? I think a lot of people see it for what it is a cash grab during Halloween season made by a 3rd party company.
Interesting read. Seems like their video game division was fucked over by the film division (covid) and no amount of leadership was going to correct that. To bad. they were really just getting some brand recognition as the cool artistic indie game company.
I’ve played all the Batman games. Not Gotham knights and I have never even heard of the suicide squad game. But I instantly ignore all online multiplayer games so I guess that could be the reason.
Usually ramp up the horror/spooky games about this time every year. Hades 2, Ghostwire Tokyo, Alan wake “American nightmare” dlc which is terrible so far. Resident Evil 2 remake.
Alien Isolation. This game really nails the original alien aesthetics. Not a perfect game but I’m happy it’s a love letter to the original movie.
Good luck. Snake.
Very happy that they dedicated the time but man there still some weird pop in stuff, audio problems, clipping through walls, rough animations. I played yesterday and Claire was just standing in the middle of a car talking in a cut scene. I respect they went real big, but still rough around the edges coming off of Witcher 3.
What about rclone? I’ve found it to be amazing for cloning or copying.
With how big and cheap they are and a lot more mounted to the wall I’d be curious how many tvs get left because it’s easy to just grab laptops, game systems, etc. It still takes two people to carry those huge thin TVs and they don’t really fit in a backpack.
Wow. A game/company that doesn’t require additional launchers, or have dlc, add-ons, costumes, exclusives, special editions, always online and just works? Huh it’s almost as if very talented and hardworking people, artists, devs just made and game at their pace and sold it to people who like just playing video games. And confirmed pre release progress will carry over. Love supergiant. Day one purchase every time if they just keep making games this way.
I’d like to know as well. Amazon pays artists and book author pennies. Books are easier to find or order local but there seems to be a complete Monopoly on audiobooks by Audible (aka Amazon)
I didn’t know. I’ll have a look. thanks for sharing.
I’m actually a fan of the game because I can see the vision they had. I think people are more harsh because they see how great it, “could have been”. But to this day so many weird bugs, qc issues that are not even graphics related. Basic qc like overlapping dialogue, mission problems, things disappearing, etc. I’m rooting for the team to keep up improvements. But for them to tell me I’d have a better time starting over is a little annoying. If this is so much better what was I playing before ? Sure, more money, feedback and most of all time is going to make a better game.But they know there are things they could have done better if they are suggesting starting over.
No it’s a good game. I like it even with the qc issues because it’s ambitious. But the devs are basically admitting that they worked on it for 3 years to fullfill the original vision and it’s so much better that it’s worth starting over.
I’m actually a fan of the game. I’m excited to play it. I just find it funny they are saying they have made it so much better that they recommend starting over. My point is that they are saying they finally got a lot of things “right” in 2.0 that we were playing an inferior game with quite a few quaility issues. Probably due to deadlines, etc. I’m happy devs continue to improve based on sales and feedback to make it better.
Of course. I’m happy they are allowing you to continue. I’ll keep going as I like the game.
“Hey gonks! Remember that game we released and was dirty as hell but you all gave up the eddies because we told you it was preem. We finally have the game we should have released just 3 years later. Go ahead and flatline your 200hr characters and reboot.”
I find these ai compositions to be both fascinating and frustrating. It sort of exposes our primal ideas of pleasing sounds and how unoriginal a lot of pop music actually is. At the same I’d like to hear something that I personally think is better and more original than an actual artist that would make me want to buy an album or song. Could that ever happen? I don’t know. So far nothing I’ve heard has come even remotely close without lots of intervention from an actual artist.
I do hate the idea all this generative music would be used in commercials, etc. To cut corners instead of actually paying people.
I just realized that the most obvious choice for new players is Stardew Valley. I never really thought about it. Even newer Mario or Minecraft could be a barrier. Controlling cameras can be confusing and difficult for newer players. Stardew doesn’t require you to be good at twin stick mechanics (although that is used for the slingshot if you want to do that). It gives you lots of encouragement and is very straightforward with missions. The screen is never cluttered with junk or pop-ups. It gets more complex as you progress but you’ll never be “stuck”. The fishing and fighting games teaches how to use button control and timing. Everything feels rewarding like you are making progress. Not to mention it’s pretty universally loved and will run on almost any PC and is available on all consoles or tablet or mobile devices
