    20 minutes ago, Vaya said: I can't believe they put women in it. Last thing I needed was to be reminded that women exist.

    I thought about that, and I interpreted it as resistance. The people in the trailer look more like a ragtag band, so I expect some kind of storyline based on "resistance"... that seems a good excuse to maintain the female quota of recent politically correct practices.

    But she also has a mechanical arm! That seems quite out of place. I mean sure prosthesis existed but one thing is a hook, another is a fully articulated arm.

    Trump is not going to Korea anytime soon, this article has the full letter and explains the visit has been cancelled because Korea stood up US officials at a meeting that was set to discuss the historic meeting

    LOts of known faces from movie/tv shows! More than I expected. It’s kinda funny that Lance Heriksen makes an appearance

    Yes considering he kept working till the very end I wouldn’t have imagined he was so close.

    I think he’s story is very inspiring and motivating.

    Will be missed.

    i’m surprised the news is actually reported on a lot of traditional news outlets, here’s a bbc article that gives a bit of timeline and reports many tributes from the community

    Same here, really confusing trailer.

    This actually popped first on my youtube and I was kinda going to skim through like I did for cod, but after the trailer I'm not sure

    Previous trailers suggest it should have a good story/narrative. Then we haven't seen a horde like this I would say.

    Videos make me think of World War Z.

    I remember seeing the fountain bit in the wip topic. Nice what you doing, reminds me of one of those villas and villages built on the tiny islands on the lakes.

    any particular location you using for inspiration?

    On 5/18/2018 at 10:27 PM, [HP] said: The only thing that stands out out to me, is the art style. There's nothing unique about it, there's no particular stylization going on that makes you go like "Oh yeah, that's definitely Day's Gone DNA on there". Even Last of Us, which obviously shared the same realm, managed to find it's particular look with the clickers and the slightly exaggerated lighting and architectural shapes.

    Gameplay is hella interesting tho, but I hope they get rid of the screen clutter like 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp 20xp. Seriously...

    In the video (already posted ?) they mention you can disable the XP output via the menu. That's good news but I am generally annoyed it's even there, makes me think of Borderlands & co. On a realistic looking game looks super out of place.

    I'm surprised by your comment regarding the art, being not unique how does it stand out? I do agree that it doesn't have anything going for it, and for me that's the downer. I like it, makes me think of TLOU and makes me think that might what they hope the average game connects to, but doesn't have the extra accent that makes it recognizable.

    Beta update overview by 3Kliks.

    Intersting stuff on the sounds, I don't like Nuke's map update on vents, I understand why was implemented for the _short version for Wingman, but in standard? Curious to see how pros will adapt to that cos I can't figure the utility of this.

    I had lost track of this @Squad, is it a remaster, sequel...? Curious to see more :)

    Also you might already be aware but the sign "chiuso per lavori" is Italian, not Spanish (Mexican).

    Finally installed and started playing New Order. I'm really enjoying this, great weapon feeling and pacing for missions. I love the detail they've put in the environments, greatly inspiring, especially the resistance hideout.

    Also crowbars showcased in so many bonus areas made me wonder if they were easter eggs to HL... the way the crates brake already felt like the HL mechanic.

    Not enjoying too much having to spam "USE" to pick up supplies after a shootout. Also the friggin' Enigma Machine feels a bit of a cheat in terms of extras, you already search wide to find these papers... and they only unlock a section of the machine. I looked up to see how the system works because I thought it was to create a message in letters, not number series. I appreciate them hiding/showing the solution on blackboards and the experienced gamer made me screenshot a couple but like I said I thought I was looking for something else.

    I'm sure it will be... I was just surprised to hear "Alpha build" in the Game Informer gameplays. I mean feels like it's been in the consciousness for so long now that you just expect it to come out :D

    I was tempted as well, bought it ages ago, think before I even had a gaming laptop... but I am installing Wolfenstein in the end, just because should be shorter to get through

    It was teased months ago but the real trailers have come out just a few hours ago

    Introducing the take on battle royale, will it dominate that scene from October?

    Looks like the traditional SP is missing and they are doing narrative in the multiplayer modes.

    Finally seen this movie last night.

    Really enjoyed it, right up my alley! I like the tension relief in the last scenes

    Spoiler it reminded me of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake) in terms of structure.

    Comedy broke immersion a bit too much for me.
