Two people making a game really takes ages. Good news is that they're at least determined to finish what they started.

Here's 13 min of gameplay:

They promised more details regarding release next week. :o

There's a pre-release demo coming! Wait.....Is it really you Bethesda?

It's like a simulation of dropping large quantities of acid. You're a bit everywhere, feel a bit of everything.

Quote Part of that process involved reevaluating Nightdive’s approach to the game’s technology after discovering that “Unity is not a great engine to use if you want to make an FPS on console,” game director Jason Fader told Polygon at the 2017 Game Developers Conferencethis week. “So we spent a few weeks researching other engines, really diving deep with Unreal and Lumberyard, and we made the decision to pull the trigger and move forward with Unreal.”

When asked why the shift was necessary, Fader explained that because of a combination of fidelity, cross-platform support, content-creation pipelines and performance reasons, “Unreal was the smarter direction to go.” So with that decision made, the team set about staffing up and working on a new vertical slice — a sort of proof of concept prototype.

Maybe they need some time to tweak it to the same level?

I thought Dr. Strange was a pretty nice break from the usual Marvel brawls and it had some really trippy CGI.

I'm excited to see how they tie everything together in Infinity War.

Sniper Elite 4 is out in 2 days. Congrats to Beck&Co at Rebellion on finishing another project!

No my boss didn't talk to me. Spoke to the line manager and finally, after she contacted him, he replied to my original email and explained he can't do the increment until I have my PDR... what a dick, why didn't you say so the 4th Jan?! While regarding my promotion he says he's been holding off because Head Office is launching a "trainee" scheme for these roles as well. Sounds really weird, I've contacted Hospitality Managers from other centres to see if they heard anything. Even if it is, sounds like the kind of bs they do to save money. I'm far from expert, but after 2 years managing 12 people you can't put me on a trainee scheme because you didn't bother to train me before! (I've only done a management course sept-dec 2016). I bet I will have to negotiate a higher pay, they will refuse, and I will leave.

Big kudos for your backpacking! So jealous, I've been wanting that for a while. I discussed with my girlfriend to take a 1 month holiday this year (eventually timing it with me leaving the job) and go to a hiking holiday in Canada. For now she's taken three weeks (can't take more)... hope nothing comes in the way and this worry is the only reason I'm not at ease regarding that.

It's a shame that they can't be upfront with their decisions. I hope you get the wage you deserve and if not, take the opportunity to go on a unforgettable hike instead. Things will pan out one way or the other. Just don't let people walk over you.

Agreed.....but once I've suffered through it all, I'll value my normal daily life so much more. When you see people sleeping on the sidewalks you get a slightly different perspective on what a good life is.

Also, I love diving and I'd much rather do it in crystal clear 30C°water.

So...Did your boss avoid the talk once again?

Also, It's my third month of backpacking around Southeast Asia....Found my way to a remote island in the Philippines. The road ahead is full of curves and uncertainties...got no clue where I'll be sleeping the next night.

I thought they cancelled the crowdfunding because of the feedback regarding not having any gameplay to show? They claimed they'd revisit the campaign once they got actual gameplay to demonstrate their concept.

I felt the same...the symbols and exclamation marks on NPCs is also a bit immersion breaking. Let's hope they have options in the menu to turn parts off.

Quote That's fine, this is one of the less alien parts of Xen. You should see what comes before this screenshot area, haha.Some parts are very grounded and earthy, others are very alien. We're saving the really juicy stuff for later.

Intrigued.

As far as I know Remedy has at least two games in the works. One of them is a mystery and the other one is Crossfire 2 SP campaign. I'm more interested in the former, but I'm also curious how a FPS game by Remedy looks like.

I guess the EA executives are in the same tier as this guy:

I find most of his critique valid, but the mystery, atmosphere and weirdness felt so special that I was willing to forgive all the shortcomings.

I'm currently replaying it just to admire the beautifully oppressive world it takes place in. Might even do it several times.

As Far as I know the first one didn't see a release on PC....but maybe with a new online money valve they think again.

Why do they let this happen? Are they saving on QA expenses? Can't they just delay the game to make sure it doesn't get smeared by shit reviews at launch?

I'll pick it up at sale if they manage to clean the code....sigh.

Patience is virtue.

I don't really understand why they bother in the first place.....just publish the games on PC already.

There's now several hardware sku's of consoles too, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the whole console platform.
