This game should have been cancelled. Nobody remembers Beyond Good And Evil and nobody cares. Its like making a sequel to a 90's movie nobody really gave a ***** about. Dude they are making Dunston Checks In 2?! Who cares...
I know I'm in the minority but I'm excited to try this game. Played Apex for 100's of hours so I'm for sure gonna give this a solid try. It may surprise us. Its not really comparable to Concord since there is no entry fee to try Highguard.
As excited as I am for Persona 4 remake... whats up with Persona 6... Next year it will be 10 years since P5. Surely we can do better than a 10 year development cycle on mainline Persona games.
@RoomWithaMoose The answer is they are not regretting it. They chose this profession. Not only is the thinking at the level of a 5 year old you want to project the agency of a 5 year old on everyone else. Nobody is forcing you to work more than 40 hours a week. That Rockstar employee who is getting bonus checks is probably going to retire at age 50-55 if he is smart with his money. So who is wasting time now?
@RoomWithaMoose Utopian pipe dream nonsense. This is 5 year olds thinking. Wide eyed intellectuals who assume everyone's priority is working less. What I want is people to be compensated well for their OT. Game developers most CERTAINLY are with the bonuses they receive. Take Two gave Rockstar almost 400 million in bonuses for Red Dead 2. No doubt the developers of Sandfall are getting insane bonuses for Expedition 33s success as well. Ironically stories like this are never written about on these sites... You think a Rockstar emplyee is looking at a 6 figure bonus check and regretting all the OT he worked? You're dreaming pal.
@RoomWithaMoose See this is where you are just lying to yourself and unintentionally proved my point with the cookie comment. In our day to day lives we all have expectations such as fresh baked bread. But nobody ever advocates for the bakers or food service workers who work OT. If the power goes out linemen have to go fix the lines. Plumbers, electricians, truck drivers, police, firefighters, fast food workers, amazon workers etc. We all turn a blind eye to how much OT these people are working because we want the conveniences they provide. So spouting a platitude that only a 5 year old would think is reasonable like "OT shouldn't be expected of any labourer" is honestly insulting. Which is why normal everyday workers are sick and tired of these articles about the poor game developer and their horrible plight to work a couple extra hours. As far as I'm concerned these labourers have every right to expect game developers to work OT to get their games out just as we all demand the same from everyone else.
@HRdepartment I used to be a chef and am currently a welder. There is always overtime (crunch) on projects or events. I'm honestly getting sick and tired of reading the "plight" of the game developers crunch. having been through the kind of OT that people in trades and the food service industry were in its hard to find sympathy for people who need to work a couple extra hours in a climate controlled office in there pyjamas...
Seems like a dropped ball that Arrowhead didn't hire Casper Van Dien after Helldivers 2 became successful. Have him do those propaganda videos as General Brash or something.
Its always amazing when a totally mediocre show that everyone agreed was pretty meh gets renewed for another season... But then I think about Rings Of Power and realize sometimes garbage TV shows just keep going regardless of viewership or reception...
My finger is literally on the install button if they would put out a PS5 upgrade for this game. Rockstar is so lazy with their old games its frustrating.
This makes me sad. It should be an exciting time. "Bluepoint is recruiting for its next project after the amazing Bloodborne Remake that came out this year!".
Welcome to the overly politicized world we live in. I do so miss the time where everyone wasn't looking at things with a spyglass for whatever politics right or left exist in it. Lets be clear, the creatives did this to themselves...
This is why I enjoyed Game Pass so much. Lets me enjoy a huge variety of games that I might not have bought but really enjoyed. Sadly those days are numbered...
I've been an Ultimate subscriber for years. I'm switching to PC only now. I Do play LOTS of games on Game Pass. So technically i probably get my moneys worth but this is way too big a price jump. Hopefully they don't price me out of PC too...
I know its a sequel but it looks just too similar to the first one for me to be THAT excited about it. Combat looks the same, duelling rings look the same, wind blowing the same. I might just wait a bit on this one.
Now they gotta come back to PAX. The golden years of PAX when you could get a presentation of Last Of Us from Neil Druckmann in a small 15 person room.
I was never upset at their strategy to make live-service games. I'm upset they made most of their best single-player studios develop them, then cancel them... Now since game development time is so high we may not even get a single new game this entire generation from some studios.
I was going to play it but on PC it requires you to change a BIOS setting that I'm not willing to mess with for their anti-cheat system. Leave it to EA to always disappoint in some way.

Re: 'We Still Have More Characters to Announce': ArcSys Promises Big 2026 for Marvel Tokon as Community Sours on PS5, PC Fighter
