@slabula there was no hype was dead on arrival after the GA's trailer looked like dogmeat

@slabula inaccurate. the game sucks and is bombing. sorry. this is the first weekend. friday is over and saturday is here, no increase in numbers. Kinda sad the weekend is when most people are off and the game is still stagnant. It will be forgotten about fast. This has to go down as the worst game awards trailer in history now that we see its performance. And the fact it was end of show makes it even more putrid.

Strong start? It went up to 90k players shortly after release, cause its free and alot of people wanted to try it after the infamous GA's trailer. Then it plummeted in just hours after that with the numbers staying abysmal. Far from a strong start. Unless only 2 hours of good numbers in a games whole life span classify as a strong start these days

just tried the demo. God this game looks putrid. The character models/textures are gross. The first TLOU remaster on ps4 craps all over this game and that wasn't a full on remake, just a remastered bump of a ps3 game.

Team Ninja gotta be the laziest F's in the industry. Rise of the ronin looked like dogmeat as well. We're in ps5 era. I don't expect everything to look like Decima. But damn, stop being lazy and get a F'in graphics engine already. No excuse for this slop

Does this game hold the record for the most amount of trailers ever, from announcement to launch?

The writing was on the wall this game looked like garbage at the GA's. Hopefully Concord and Highguard finally get it through to this industry that nobody wants a new Hero shooter. Don't waste your time. There's some decent talent at this studio, they could have made a brand new FPS story heavy shooter in the vain of a Halo or Killzone, but totally original.

what a total waste of time and resources this was.

@DennisReynolds why, she a total hottie or what? You gooning for Theresa? lmao

@TheArt Honestly, I never played KCD1. Idk why, I love RPG's. I did indeed play/beat KCD2 and absolutely loved that game. Maybe with a ps5 ver. of 1, I'll finally play it

@TheArt Who's Theresa, the local kitchen wench?

This game is taking so long, I just picture Levine in some room at the back of his house, that was converted from a garage, working on this game by himself. The smell of gasoline, motor oil and old rusty nails in a coffee can filling the air

@TheArt Lol why did you leave him at a church, to atone for his sins? Maybe he'll be a new man if you ever decide to return to the game.

@Boxmonkey I'm hoping you are dead wrong. There's been widespread reports that Sony is likely going to push the ps6 out to 2029-30 due to many reasons and the ram shortage as well. Waiting 3 to 4 more years for this would be brutal

"After closing out The Game Awards, there has been radio silence, which led many to believe that another Concord was upon us. That remains to be seen"

Just the fact that they are saying "it remains to be seen" still, after playing it, tells me all i need to know. Where's the confidence? Being a "concord" is the worst outcome imaginable. That game was shut down so fast after launch. And the article is still saying that's a possibility. Not what you want to hear in a hands on impressions piece

Intergalactic please! We've already seen enough of Wolverine, Saros, Marathon, Phantom blade zero to name a few. I need to see what this game is!

"put your hands where I can F'in see 'em!!!!. Thank you!!!!"

@dskatter I still find it hilarious they ended the game awards with a free to play, generic hero shooter. Just more rubbish nobody asked for. Last year our doors were blown off by Intergalactic as the show closer. I think it was safe to say people had tempered expectations. But there was prob 10 other games at the show that would have made a better closer then this

This game is like the Ex-presidents. "Forget it kid, they're ghosts!"

The title of the article is a dev quote. Its his politically correct way of saying "when we started making this game we obv had no idea that the xboxseries was gonna crap the sheets this Fin bad. Therefore, we need to release on the largest install base to actually try and make some $$$ on our hard work, and not get shafted by MS"

Why are gaming environments, lighting and player movement animations so lifelike these days when using a proper engine, but facial animations are still stuck in the 90's in 95% of games? lmao

During the showcase for this game, when talking about character creation, one of the devs said "i love medium jugs". I'm more of an a** man. I can't relate to this developer at all. Not one bit for some reason. And idk why. Oh yeah, and they are making a pottery game too apparently.

Listen, I applaud Double Fine for thinking outside the box here and trying something diff. This industry has been "samey" and "safe" for awhile. But a pottery MP game?

Brutal Legend was outside the box and different. Featured licensed music, iconic real world musicians etc. But stayed true to a video game in form with its mechanics/gameplay.

So why can't they think differently but make something more like Brutal legend instead of Pottery? lol even sounds crazy to the ear.

The first game was a solid competent RPG and this sequel could have been a great sophomore effort. But wtf, why all of a sudden shift the combat system from action RPG in the 1st game, to turn based for the sequel? They trying to be like Baldurs gate 3?

I can't stand turned based games I'll admit and I'm not hating on them for no reason. We all have our own tastes. I'm calling this out cause of the sudden drastic change from game 1 to the sequel. Why fix what's not broken? Esp moving to a whole new combat system. I guess they didn't sell enough copies of the 1st game to feel like they were abandoning fans?

I hope this is the next big AAA RPG. I need to scratch an itch with a fantasy RPG right now. Its been a minute since KCD2, prob no new fromsoft soulsborne game for awhile and witcher 4 a ways out. So its this and Lords of the Fallen this year and that is fine to me!!!

@GamingGod I don't have much interest in this game or the genre as a whole, but the way the ARC raiders community is bashing this game without even playing it at all, is gross. Fanboyism at its finest. I'll prob never try this game, but I did ARC raiders and the glazing is not justified. ARC raiders is a pointless repetitive mess

Is oblivion remastered patched and fixed yet? Maybe fix the games you got out already before you start thinking about shadow dropping any more broken messes.

@GirlVersusGame lol glad i could be of some kind of service in this life. That kids will be skeletons song in the scene i referred to is great. Its a great mix of melancholic and upbeat tones put together in one song. That kind of contrast usually makes for some epic songs. Couple that song with the scene from chaos theory and it just hits so hard

say what you want about where this series and even how these kind of games have fallen off since the OG LIS. But looking back, one the great moments in gaming is the Chaos theory act, with kids will be skeletons playing, max riding the bus to see what happened to Chloe, arriving at her house as a cliff hanger.

I wish the use of licensed music to set tones and atmosphere in story driven games, was more common in this industry. LIS hit it out of the park. A few other acts in that game ended in epic fashion with a song driving the scene

there's ogre's and creatures, or whatever you want to call them in the streets i see. I prefer my cyberpunk way more grounded in reality, with a living, breathing more human populated city like CDPR's cyberpunk. So whatever when it comes to this getting ditched.

the whole game, all the progress, the computers it was stored on, including all backup drives have been blown to bits. Have to start over. They will be announcing the 10yr delay later tonight in a official statement.

@Northern_munkey I'm still trying to figure out why he was cast to play the owner of the A's in the movie "money ball" with Brad PItt. And that was 15yrs ago.

@graymamba I can't wait for Division 3 either. But we both know this is going to be a next gen game, so whatever IMO. Not like this is happening to GTA6 indicating another delay for that game is incoming

@Oram77 exactly. "still not content complete" no way this thing is coming out this year. If it gets delayed again they'll just make it cross gen with ps6, to sell next gen, pitch line 4k60 on ps6

since witcher 4 is way closer then a cyberpunk sequel, i would rather them make another DLC for cyberpunk. Phantom liberty was fantastic. The way time flies, we'll have witcher 4 in our hands. but will be ages before cyberP2

He was so pivotal for the industry, Regardless of COD's current state, you can't deny that COD, GTA and the arcade yrs. of Mortal Kombat were the 3 Ip's that shaped the modern games industry as we know it.

And all he does is sign on with EA to get Battlefield back on track and totally succeeded with BF6. Not many with that resume. RIP. dude will be missed.

Not much of a sim racing fan. Was more of a motorstorm guy back in the day. But glad this is thriving for the peeps here that do enjoy this type of racer. Too bad Sony couldn't nail down a live service or FPS online shooter with these kinds of legs, other then Helldivers 2.

Otherwise this is bummer news man. I wish Keighley never said "the games been in development for over 4yrs" after that trailer was shows at last yrs GA's. It made it sound nearer. Mid 2027???? jeez

When it comes to crunch in game development I don't wanna hear sh**. I'm a former restaurant worker of 30yrs. Used to work 70 to 80hours a week. Manning a 6 burner sauté station, that had a 400 degree oven below and a salamander (broiler) head level, all blasting on me for every one of those hours. Not to mention all the other equipment that made the kitchen reach 110 in the summer time. So....hitting a deadline for a game demo would be like paradise compared

for my money Division 2 craps all over ARC raiders and most shooter games as a service. Its probably a very long ways off, but I would love Division 3 to be a ps6 launch window title. I hammered division2 for countless hours. I'm done lol. So a brand new one would be bangin

I read that this is def gonna be point click/turned based like BG3. That sucks for me. I can't stand that type of game. Instant pass. Trailer was bangin' though, so I hope you all enjoy the game, in 2030 lol or whenever it comes out

I try to have respect for most game dev's unless they are lazy and don't fix their broken games months after release (looking at you Borderlands 4 and Oblivion remaster), or they are too lazy to upgrade their game engines 3 gens in a row (cough, team ninja, cough).

So I respect what this man decided to do with this To a t game, but in reality after watching the trailer, lets be honest, nobody should be surprised this game flopped.

@Toot1st Damn, you real mad bro. just cause nobody wants this slop of a game and we don't need another hero shooter. you got a friend on the games dev team or something kid? nahhh? you just mad, to be mad?

@Toot1st when i read this, thats all that registered in my head when trying to comprehend was "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah"

I want this to be my Halloween game in October. But I have no clue if I'll be able to not get this day1. haha @Stragen8 man i still remember a bud at my job way back when, said he was playing this new thing called resident evil on ps1. Alot of gamers at that job, so we all had water cooler moments. So I bought it and it was amazing. Nostalgia there man. RE1 hit with the games industry kind of like how mortal kombat and GTA3 did. Maybe not as huge, but still a pivotal moment in gaming

@Verso-86 Is this your first run with KCD2, or you doing another playthrough? That game was so great man!!! @Burnish1619 Control was fantastic. Such a great game. Hope you enjoy!

I might try to get back into Diablo 4. Its been ages, never got the 1st expansion. So idk. Have an itch for this style game and it seems like Path of Exile 2 is taking forever to get to 1.0 release. so.....

"Overdeliver in the future"......which means, instead of having just Beavis and Butthead skins, the whole old, animated MTV toons catalog will be available. "You can now play as, Ren and Stimpy!, Aeon flux! Daria!. Along wiiitthhhhh!!! Family guy!, The Simpsons!, Scooby doooooooo! and many more

Starting a hype train with a trailer for a beloved franchise, at the GA's or any big event and the game is at least 4yrs off is just plain dumb. Maybe not 2030, but studio was just founded earlier this year. Its its truly AAA then its gotta be at least 4yrs.

Control was one of my fave games of that time period, but I'm not sure how I feel about the melee combat. It looked kind of soulslike to me. Not that its a bad thing, we just have too many of those. I just liked the way you upgraded guns in C1

@tselliot thats too bad. happy for people who like that malarky. just not for me. trailer was pretty great though.
