Anytime between 2028-2030 is fine by me, many people I know have only just gotten around to buying this generations iteration when they were last on sale, around Black Friday and run up to Christmas.
Having worked in game development previously, most developers will be happy to have the delay of working to a crunch and pressure of a release cycle coming sooner anyway.
I know it works in the media’s favour to have something to write about, but then I guess that speaks volumes if there’s nothing of note and value to speak of regarding this generation on the whole.
The next generation is ray-tracing done to a finer quality and path tracing. Along with the choice of 60 frames a second more frequently.
For the most part, that’s it. Most textures can be improved this generation, animations and load times. Many of the flaws we see in gaming this generation aren’t due to the lack of horsepower yet due to the lack of knowledge, effort and time.
Take Sackboy a moderately acceptable adventure, that took multiple studios (as listed in the credits when you complete the game), combining their assets, their time, their schedules, time zones, software, talent, ideas and disagreements and so forth a while to pump out a game some solo people are managing to achieve elements of in Dreams from their own sofa.
I mean seriously, it shouldn’t take millions of pounds, hundreds of people and multiple studios to make a platformer that offers nothing much in the way of what hasn’t come prior.
They aren’t reinventing the wheel here. Same goes for many a game this generation. It’s excuses, not the requirement of a new console that’s an issue.
@Northern_munkey Ta mucka, I’ll have to have a word with the missus and see what’s what. Hopefully with it being more of a Bungie rather than Activision crowd we may have more luck!
The footage of the game looks like a busy mess to my eyes, almost like I’m on LSD and I’m tripping that I’m spectating someone through their eyes only to have my brain not be able to calculate everything around them accurately.
Very odd, it’s hard to explain, I’m simultaneously intrigued and like it, yet feel it’s abusing my retinas too.
Despite this, myself and my partner love a bit of shooter gameplay together sometimes. Plus, we both love Destiny despite its rather substantial flaws. So will likely give this currently very confusing title a college try.
Does anyone happen to know if you have to play as a trio every run? I only ask, as my partner is female, and therefore experienced a LOT of abuse online over the years for existing. So we’d rather not invite randoms into a voice conversation if at all possible anymore.
So if anyone knows more, any information would be greatly appreciated! Ta very much!
