I tried the beta over the weekend and I can safely say that it's not for me. The chaos of having 128 players all doing their thing in a massive map feels.. well, chaotic. But I know people who are all about that, playing with their squad and pushing through it. The game looks amazing, but it's not without performance issues and bugs in traditional bf on launch style.

Yeah, also curious. I hope it will look somewhat comparable to those fan made videos:

I stopped after 4 hours or so because I found myself just following objective markers without fully paying attention to what's going on. Like I mentioned in my previous comment, I think there's just too much information being thrown at you too frequently to the point where you begin to ignore it. And there's also not much incentive to explore areas on your own. The hints Colt gives, even if they make sense from a narrative perspective, add to the feeling that the game isn't trusting me to figure out anything.

I really wanted to like this game, but I guess it's just not for me or not atm. I recently played through Outer Wild's DLC - Echoes of the Eye and that one had me hooked right from the start. It very rarely points you to where to go, instead it gives you just enough information to figure things out on your own, which is a lot more rewarding. You could say it's a bit similar to how Dark Souls gives the player information, though that one is bordering on the more extreme case.

How do you guys feel about it?

?

Yeah, seems alright. I like the new rocks especially, but everything else is just slightly off when compared to the original. It might just be a little more darker? Other than that, if you look in the last screenshots, there's noticeably less colour richness. I mean, it's good that the only things I can complain about are nitpicks.

Here's an article to go with that comparison video:

I don't know, but something seems off about the characters. They're more detailed, but at the same time less real. Alan especially looks off compared to the original.

Yep, just like that. Bumped a one year old thread to post this gem from papa ubi.

Youtube algorithm knows what's up, just keeps recommending me Alan Wake videos and then I share them here to get you guys in the loop

Yeah, it has good art direction. The setting caught my eye early on and I followed it on twitter for the past year or so.

I played the demo they put out 2-3 months ago. And it wasn't the best first impression. Performance was quite bad and the level of polish in the 2 maps they had wasn't great either. I got the feeling that it's one of those projects that are too ambitious for your experience or number of people on the team. But I still hope they can turn it around. There is potential for sure.

I'll probably buy it regardless though

Woo! I've been looking forward to that one.

I think they just wanted a vibrant setting with some narrative potential for conflict - like the little bit of alternative history they did on the Bay of Pigs invasion.

As someone who's never been to Miami and only experienced it from pop culture, it seems like they captured the atmosphere of an alternate Miami pretty well. Yeah, it's not Vice City, but it seems interesting in the fallout context.
