They already did an announce video with them sometime ago, was hoping to understand something this time… seems just like one of those studio promos for hiring.

[ I’d love so much to work at Remedy ? ]

AFAIK Epic Games Publishing is paying for the development costs of Remedy's new project and taking 50% of the revenue of said project. Remedy keeps the IP rights. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

No idea if this also forces them to a 1 year EGS exclusivity, but that wouldn't be totally surprising.

Oh btw. Blender 2.90 is out!

Bunch of new features and fixes.

They've put much more effort in the release notes page:

https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-90/

It now looks pretty slick!

Much more improvement incoming in roughly 3 months with the next (2.91) release. Last version was the LTS-release, so if you can't keep up, that one only gets bug fixes for the next 2 years.

I’m curious to see what the additional MS money can do for the probable sequel. They were pretty upfront about it not being an AAA-production. That’s still no excuse for @[HP] critique about art, but would be nice to see this becoming a MS staple franchise with big budget production behind it.

It all looks mighty tasty. The tools for destruction one only showcases weapons and some shooting with said weapons.

I’ll be RTXing this one for sure.?

This is probably the most impressive game MS has going for them right now, and looks like a true next gen experience.

I have to admit that flight simulator has never been very interesting for me, but this visual leap might actually make me want fly and explore unique locations around the world.

You can expect it to (maybe) release on PC right before PS6 launch. Stay tuned!

Yeah that’s how I’ve felt for a long time already. As a Viking simulator it might be decent.

No time or interest.

Quote This time around, you lead a guerilla revolution, fighting to free the fictional island nation of Yara from its brutal dictator.

Your journey to burn down this tyrannical regime takes you through the island’s lush jungles, dense cities, and beautiful beaches. Ubisoft is calling it “the most expansive Far Cry playground to date.”

You play Dani Rojos, who you can choose to be male or female. “In terms of Dani, what we wanted to do was explore a character that is fully voiced, fully performance captured and you can play as both male and female.

- Fictional island in the Caribbean inspiration taken from Cuba.

- You’re not playing as the boy, but the the main character is somehow tied to the dictator and his son.

Yeah that got me pretty hyped. There's something appealing about close combat gun ballet. Great looking animations, I hope it's dynamic enough to not become repetitive too fast.

This and FC6 has me most interested of Ubi's upcoming lineup.

This is why I was saying in another topic that these games are not made for us adults.

Yeah, traversal and fight mechanics kept me playing all the way through. Story was good too for a Spiderman game. Side missions tho, they were definitely filler.

I hope they make some compelling story content for this expansion.

"Gus" as the main villain has me curious. I hope they've given him a worthy script.

Please make it a more focused experience. Open worlds are great but I don't have time to commit over 50hrs on a game anymore. 25hrs is already pushing it. Quality > quantity

Devolver Direct 2020 showcase is live now:

The VR version is wonderful. Every time some of my friends have tried it they’ve nearly thrown themselves on the ground max payne style during shootouts. ?

I hope this releases on VR too.

If you have an expensive enough phone, you also have face mocap as a bonus.

I hope i can avoid spoiling too much until I have time to properly experience it. Just baffling seeing the shitshow on twitter regarding this game. Should probably block anything related to it just incase...
