But Star-Lord? Following orders of Peter? I remember someone calling this the "Random Selection" team and I have to agree lol Star-Lord should have had its own team.
It's not perfect but I do want to see more smaller scale spinoff. It's something they have always done since the PS3 days. Imagine a metroidvania spinoff of Taskmaster that takes place during the events of Spiderman 2. Maybe a mark of the ninja or Tenchu style spinoff of the Ghost games. Hell, I'm surprised we don't even have an Atreus spinoff. Could have worked well as a PSVR2 title too.
It really sucks that the only playable first party exclusives psvr2 has right now are Gran Turismo and Horizon. They couldn't even bother porting Astrobot to PSVR2...
And then there's the 3rd possibility: one of the most 7/10 games of all time. One thing I think the game will do great is the gameplay. As for the story? Doubtful. I'm sorry but thevmain characters look like the most white bread characters I've seen, like someone told them to make the characters look appelaing to westerners.
After learning more about this guy and his previous projects, I'm not holding my breath for this to be any good lol but who knows. One thing for sure, the whole "Silent Hill connection" they kept teasing will no longer work anymore.
Say what you will about the game but I do wish developers took more examples like this and give their online only games (especially those with actual story content) an offline mode/version. Vidoe game preservation is always important, no matter the kind of game it is.
They couldn't have atleast waiting for one more month to shut it down...
Even that star wars hero shooter lasted more 💀 I feel bad for the team but at the same time, the writing was on the wall. I genuinely believe Marathon has better potential to last a bit linger than this game.
Fairgames on the other hand, might actually become the next Concord.
It's a bit strange that From Soft didn't want Bluepoint to work on it cause didn't Miyazaki said at one point that he was fine with a remaster/port of Bloodborne?
Honestly, kind of understandable. Probably explains why the PC port for Lost Soul Aside was barely quality tested compared to the PS5 version. And don't get me started on Until Dawn "remake". I recall people saying that the game could barely pull "Concord numbers" on steam lol
Though I do wonder if this means Demon's Souls remake and Bloodborne will never come to Steam.
After Bandai prioritzing SAO games, I'm glad Cyberconnect2 took this as an opportunity to do the job themselves.highly excited for this. Might revisit G.U. trilogy for the platinum sometime.
One of the worst moves Sony has made. Even as someone who has mixed thoughts on the remake, you can't deny that the team does have great talent. Why couldn't they have kept the studio for remaking/remastering games? Dozen of games that coudl have gotten the treatment and they pull this? All because their live service god of war game (that wasn't really a good idea to begin with) didn't go anywhere?
I have this very worrying feeling that studios like Sony Bend and Media Molecule won't be safe from this, and soon Sony has to rely even more on 3rd party exclusivity deals than before.
While I have a soft spot for the nordic saga gameplayn I just don't see it fit well with greek Kratos. Especially if they're going to add the air combos, which would be janky to execute with an over the shoulder camera. Personally, something like Darksiders would work, specifically Darksiders 3.
Personally don't care if the game doesn't reach the same level as those. From my experience, it's been pretty decent. It's clearly meant to be more bite-sized as we wait for the GoW trilogy, and I personally don't mind the pixel art. I don't want every pixel art game to have the same visual style, and it kinda reminds me of Boss Rush Mythology's art style mixed with Apotheon's animation.
Also, god forbid they try to add some layers to Kratos. I feel like by GoW3, people saw Kratos as nothing more but an unlikeable murder machine when during the first few games, they had Kratos have moments of humanity, whether it's in the final battle with Ares or the illusion in Chains of Olympics. It's why I'm particularly less of a fan of how GoW3 characterized Kratos but that's just me.
Btw, ain't this the same guy who got stuck in Metroid Dread because he forgot to use a mechanic that the game told him how to? Atleast Cory Barlog gave full appreciation to Dread lol
How many Greek spinoffs do we have now? Not complaining as it's my faborite but I'd kill for an atreus spinoff that takes place atleast between 2018 and Ragnarok lol
I'm kinda interested on trying the game out but unfortunately, everytime I try to sign up for the playtest, it keeps redirecting me to the country selection page before kicking me back to the website home page. Not sure if it's the device or browser I'm using.
Not sure if I'm excited. The first season, while not perfect, was genuinely pretty good and was a good example of video game adaptations done right.
Then the second season came in, and the best compliment I could give it is that it made people who hated the The Last of Us part 2 actually appreciate the game due to some of the baffling decisions that were made. It's like they wanted the season to appeal to both the fans and the non-fans, only to end up a mess compared to the first season.
Damn, been such a long time since I've played this game back when I was in middle school. Have to thank youtubers for helping me discover this game lol
@PuppetMaster good points although I wonder if they main reason why you mentioned Evotinction is because I was the first to bring it up here cause barely anyone even knew it even released, including myself until a year after its release lol still impressed it got decent reviews and I definitely think it deserves it, though part of why I never mentioned it as an example is because it's more of a stealth game than an action game.
I do find it a big shame that it's so far the only latest China Hero Project game right now to not focus on flashy action. I guess there's the weird sci-fi fantasy mix Convallaria, which I had my eye on since 2019, but given the recent fallout that happened some weeks ago with Loongforce devs, I'm not sure if that game will ever come out unless they find a different publisher or developer.
Most excited for Aria but mistly cause I just love robot characters like Billy. A shame that she only fights in her human avatar and only uses her robot form during her ult.
@kailun those are already franchises made by the same developers, so of course they'd all look the aame and honestly, whay else can you evolve in a soccer game lol (big reason why I'm never that big on sport games) Not that I'm trying to defend them but atleast with Japanese developers, they don't always have to keep their games in the same setting of Japan all the time lol atleast give us something like A.I. Limit or even Lost Soul Aside (for all its flaws) where they didn't have to be set in a China-centric setting.
@AhmadSumadi while I'm still interested, I agree that a lot of them feel homogeneous. If you told me this game, Fallen Feathers and Black Myth were part of the same series, I'd believe you.
@Boxmonkey "chinese devs are cooking these days" after the launch of Lost Soul Aside? Eh, sorta, give or take.
The investigation part unironically interests me more. Though I feel like it's a bit too early to call this the next "Black Myth Eukong" lol we have to wait and see if they'll pull it off (and hopefully won't suffer any kind of development issues)
Tgis is really cool but it's still crazy how we had to wait for months just so the game could get its first major update lol atleast they're not abandoning the game (same cannot be said for Bleach Rebirth of Souls)
