Played a few sessions of Lego Marvel Superheroes with my partner recently, we actually started back-to-back from finishing Lego Incredibles.
The Marvel is not as good, I mean ofc is older, but other older games were better.
I kept intending getting back to God of War after playing the Lego or watching something, but I end up vegetating ? been sick or too tired eek
Second shot gives me a cross-eyed vibe ?

That’s not a condition, that’s how women naturally are ?
#sexistjokes aside, that’s really interesting. There’s all this bunch of interesting research and tangentially interests level designers, I remember @FMPONE (if I recall correctly) mentioning about right and left turns? (I think something from mall navigation?)
Seems like we've run out of names for game companies 
But seriously, great trailer, got me really interested.
Can't remember if this stuff was in the Collector's Edition I have ?
Wait waaaaaat!
Unexpected (for me) drop of a new operation.

Cool ? haven’t played CS for an long time, DZ even longer, but still I’m curious what are the differences from the standard meta you were alluding to ?
[EDITED]
Noclip has done a design focus on Deathloop
What are the differences @JimFKennedy? Seems to not have the raised central area like other maps but can’t tell much from the shots
Didn’t get the chance to test almost anything recently, despite the couple of events where they had demos on steam (great initiative btw).
I don’t understand why they take the demo down after these things tho, some devs keep it available, so is not a steam limitation.
Gemini Man (now on Netflix) wasn't as bad as I expected. I was expecting total crap but it was meh. The story is the usual "agent hunted by the agency". The premise of pitting the hero against his younger self feels dated, I remember catching a comment by Ang Lee that "only now we have the tech to do this film", but I would tell him this would have felt innovative back in the late 90s*, now it seems everybody does this sort of thing and you can still discern the CG anyway. The film actually seems often filmed against a green screen when there would be no need at all (like first restaurant scene), giving a very artificial feel overall.
Young Will Smith rendering is impressive... I guess they have loads of imagery to source from, but I would imagine if you shown to someone that didn't know Will Smith, they would be easily fooled*. Illusion breaks when he talks, still looks robotic/gamey in facial animations... but what they skimped on/didn't manage to sell is action stuff: the final effect is still very "CG Neo", action doesn't get that crazy so it's not as heavy on the eye as Black Panther or Neo, but people like us will notice it.
What I don't understand is why they used the CG character for some background animation: it's bad. When the clone is stalking the original he does stuff that would have appeared much better if performed by a free runner. And that reinforced my feeling that many scenes where on green screen for no reason, it feels they done it to ensure consistency when they had to insert the clone.
*I feel they basically put themselves in a lose-lose situation: by choosing a very famous actor (everybody will know the clone is fake) and because they couldn't do the CG any better than the competition... hence why it felt dated from the announcement.
Sable is out in the next couple days
Twitter embed seems messed up
I was convinced there was a topic for this game, being released Septeber 30th
PC only at this time
Yup is a good point on the kitbashing… I had the same feeling of visual noise/repetitiveness in the videos, and I was wondering how much different environments they would be able to create with such a small team.
In the podcast they explain they used Substance a lot to generate variations etc. Hopefully they can do a GDC talk like they say they’d like (lots of people apparently asking them of their technical implementation).
The result makes sense in the perspective of the small dev team.
I already dislike Christmas enough
What didn’t you like @Minos? I haven’t tried it, only seen some videos.
Really dig the atmosphere but not sure about combat from what I’ve seen.
PS: you have the Xbox pass to just be able to try stuff?
Sounds like the game has been a success for these guys, they are very fun to listen to, and surely they must be to work with.
I don’t trust user reviews pooped out this quickly. It’s literally come out today; I wouldn’t review a game after 1 session unless it was really terrible*, and this doesn’t look terrible… just maybe “complex”**.
And something this “complex” needs some actual playtime to judge? Like you’d need to get close to the endgame… otherwise it’s like Returnal, that appears as “too difficult”.
Google search brings up 86% Metacritic and some 5/5 from the likes of Eurogamer or Gamespot btw, a legit buy for anyone that likes the previous games or the genre.
*I hardly invest time reviewing unless really triggered. **As complex as any other Arkane game, I see it as a streamlined Dishonoured if anything.
I don’t understand why YT doesn’t allow me to watch this video (age restriction for sure) on my TV/PS but I can on mobile, with the same account. Amd doesn’t prompt me to verify my age anymore.
Obviously excited to finally see something of the sequels like God of War and Spider-Man, great to see Insomniac is also doing Wolverine… but it’s all stuff I’d be perfectly happy to play on PS4.
The only game that surprised me is Tchia, it seems full of charm.
