dunno if you already know they have been using Unreal Engine instead of green screen as much as possible

Oh wow, is coming out in three days! Thought was still a while to go

Not a talk, but I discovered that once upon a time, in TT Games (where all the Lego games are made) they attempted to create a LOTR tie-in... and I think that for a prototype on the previous gen it was looking really impressive!

This looks really good! Looks like you are managing to offer every archetypical CS situation, everything seems to gel very well from your walkthrough. Keep it up!

Yeah, the industry keeps complaining about the risk in new IPs as if AC was never a new IP. Or The Division. Or Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us.

Same guy had a raving preview of Doom Eternal, to the point I was reconsidering preordering or getting on day-1, then most people here complained about the levelling etc.

Also the mechanics sound completely new, makes me think of Ryse, DMC and similar games.

I think it's undeniable the world building, fidelity, art, coming out of Ubisoft is top notch and always something to look up to. But we are talking about content... AC was first introduced as a "Splinter Cell in the light of day, set in the crusades" - and it wasn't; now it resembles more the experience you already get from The Division or Ghost Recon.

I mean, I'm sure it works, and maybe the overlap of player of these games is not even that big (so they cover more market) but would be nice to see more original stuff.

Yeah but

Quote No. Our goal is to make sure you can have a Unity within an Odyssey. If you want to have a story of 15 hours, you can have it, but you can also have other stories. You live in that world and you pursue what you want to pursue. You have an experience, many Unity-like experiences.

is not really like this, is it?

You don't get three different storylines, you don't get one storyline with a few other 1 hour side stories you wonder off on...

Uh I like the John Wick clone

Congrats! Been at the Niagara Falls as well and I could tell that was the inspiration right away.

Keep it up!

You can place dev-cameras in the editor, they will take a screenshot as the map is loaded.

Sorry @Zarsky, probably not… comments I’ve read say “biggest map ever in FC”

Everything else is very meh tho.... one of the most boring games I've played in a long time. Lol

I found it to be a refined clone of Batman Arkham, so I enjoyed it for fight mechanics, traversal is really Spider-Man… story is good too, but definitely drags too long, and we could do with less “same same side missions”. This is why I was saying in another topic that these games are not made for us adults.

Well done BoJo ? a timeline of the mess that has been the UK strategy, despite they considered themselves “4 weeks behind” the tragedy Italy was experiencing.

I think even to a fault, in a certain way, I was left with a definite feeling of wanting more of the pilot combat… what I mean is that the game flows so much that I didn’t feel I could internalise and enjoy properly the scenarios.

But otherwise to me this looks like a master in level design, especially for what you can do in Source –I wonder how much they changed the renderer to make it perform like this– the factory creating the combat scenarios is totally bonkers and can’t shake the thought it informed the Dishonored DLC

I didn’t know that! Makes sense, they are always at the forefront of engine tech.

There’s also Formula E with fully electric cars… and I think they all run in for circuits so it should be more thrilling even.

Also in the news:

Sony buys $250 million stake in Fortnite creator Epic Games The investment gives Sony a 1.4 percent stake in Epic

https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/9/21318…ame-development

That takes Epic's worth at $18 Billions (with Sweeney worth an incredible $8 - from $100 Millions the previous year)

Two days ahead of the Ubisoft "Forward" event, the new Far Cry seems to have leaked and is trending on Twitter. It is quoted to be the "biggest" Far Cry, and the scar on the left eyebrow of the kid in picture, is having people speculating FC6 will be an FC3 prequel, possibly telling the origin story of the beloved crazy Vaas.

I'm super excited that Giancarlo Esposito will be in it (allegedly)

Can't believe they are giving away this expansion/sequel for free to those who own the game, or that will purchase before release
