If "elements of Fortnite" can be summed up as "another battle royale", then absolutely LMAO. Do most devs not realized that it's very hard to do well in this genre? So many battle royales have either shut down or are completely forgotten these past few years, and only very few have survived. Like what chance does Haven Studios think they have for it to survive alongside Fortnite or PUBG? Especially with the game's aesthetic being so unappealing, and an extraction-shooter + battle royale just doesn't scream as a good combo.
It's a shame as I thought it was one of the fe whunting games to ahve the most potential to stand on its own. Conaidering freedom wars got remastered, I'm hoping SS gets the same treatment down the line.
You know this game reminded me of something, does any remember a game wher eyou also played as an animal in a big city but as a dog that was announced a few years ago (probably 2016)? I genuinely wondered what happened to game.
Honestly, I've suffered through worse durability management (cough shadow tower cough) so as long it's still manageable without ruining the flow of the combat, I'm fine with ir.
@N1ghtW1ng Oh nice. Honestly kinda wild how Sony never thought of doing this from the beginning. Here's hoping othrr titles like Puppeteer and Souls Sacrifice will follow suit too.
Joking aside, though, begging that it's a Killzone, Socom or Resistance title. I don't care if it's live service. Atleast have the game be based on something I actually care about.
As much as I didn't love The Order 1886, I still would have loved to see a sequel and see how much they would have improved from the first game. Unfortunately, I doubt sony will ever be interested in bringing back the IP.
The moment the game was bought by those crypto obssesed guys, the writings were on the wall. It's a big shame that as of now, the only ongoing hunting game on the marker is Monster Hunter.
Ubderstandable but that doesn't mean they ahould leave their IPs behind. At the very least remaster them in a big collection in some wya or another a la Rare Replay.
They should just take notes of online co-op games like Helldivers and Deep Rock Galactic and use that format for their Resident Evil multiplayer game. It's something I had thought for years since high school and after playing Outbreak, I genuinely don't know Capcom bothers with these pvp focused titles. Feels like RE works best as a co-op game but that's just me.
Helldivers 2 is to Sony Computer Emtertainment what Venom is to Sony Pictures. They think that one success is guarantee that the other will be just as good, not realizing that there are other factors that contributed Helldivers 2's success besides bring a "live service game", mostly that the game was designed as a fun multiplayer game first, and live service title second.
If sony still wants to keep working on this, then either give us Playstation Home 2 or a new PS All Stars game. I think they can make a good live service game. Hell, Gran Turismo 7 is doing alright so far. The thing is, these games were made in the end to entertain their audiences and fans in mind. Games like Concord and Destruction All Stars feel like they were made to chase trends, which isn't always a good thing to keep in mind when making these games (take a look at Nerdslayer studios' videos)
I'd say that I'm still pissed ofd that they shut down Concord instead of giving the studio another shot. Despite my gripes with Concord, I would have actually loved to see them make a comeback, perhaps learning from their mistakes. Instead, they treated Concord and their team like an afterthought.
Honestly, I'm just glad that even after all the delays, they're still determined on giving us a hack and slasher instead of dumbing the gameplay into yet another souls-like lol
Even as someone who would have preferred Metaphor to win GotY, can't help but be glad that VGA dodged a bullet by not awarding Black Myth Wukong GotY. I think the game's good but its community is another thing.
Funny how the axolotl character has a slightly better design than most of Concord's actual roster lol
Though I do find it funny how not a single character there seems to be from the game. I do recall seeing star child once in a promo image so I guess they might make a cameo?
They better not end the story with yet again another sequel bait with Lin escaping cause that final fight ANNOYED me to no end lol would have been great if Ryo managed to atleast land one blow to show how much he grew but alas...
Honestly, I'd rather take a full dark souls trilogy remaster for newer consoles.
And hey, if the rumors about the switch 2 are true, then maybe release the collection over there as well. It's still hilarious to me how the switch was capable to run skyrim, dragons dogma, doom, and the likes but can't with dark souls 2's vfx lol
Probably also unrelated but another questionable move they did was nominating multiversus again for fighting game of the year, even though Geoff stated that he wouldn't nominate it again.
Though I guess between this and jujutsu kaisen, better to go for the former.
The problem is that it's a hero shooter. Why lock all the stuff, from cool story moments to character interactions, behidn weekly cutscenes and walls of text while spend most of our time shooting the same characters over and over again? I said it before but a "No Man's Sky or Rogue Galaxy meets Borderlands" Concord game would have done wonders.
Personally, I would have preferred if the game wasn't exclusively set in the world of horizon. Considering they only have two or three Horizon ips to work with, it's no wonder why the game feels somewhat limited in other parts, kinda like what happened with the lego hobbit game.
If this was instead Lego Playstation Adventures that lets you play through levels based on iconic playstation worlds or landmarks like Greece from God of War or the mountains of Tibetan Plateau from Uncharted. It would have atleast provided some variety imo.
That one rumor of the game failing because of toxic positivity might hold some water now because what do you mean they never once thought of playtesting the game to see if it'll hit with the audience or not? Imagine if this was their mindset with all of theirblive service games 💀
What's strange is that months ago it was revealed through a debug mode that Beetle was being set up as the DLC villain. My guess is that they're probably saving it for either the sequel or the supposed venom game. That, or Insomniac just kinda gave up, and giving the amount of rewrites Spiderman 2 went through during the development as well as the unexpected hack, I can't really blame them, unfortunately. Still, some small continuation of the symbiote would've been nice. Hopefully, Sony will give them enough time for the 3rd game (and please don't force them to rush it, I don't care how impatient Spiderman fans will get)
If it does come back, then they have to do more than just making the game free to play. Whether it's improving the art style or diversifying player customization or adding PvE content or such. I don't think even the hardest PS fanboy would want to play the same matches over and over again just to see one uninteractable cutscene every week.
