System Shock remake is coming in 2022



 

Yeah was a great experience to be part of, although there is not a single brush placed by me in the mod. It was originally supposed to be constituted of 3 levels (three different environments/missions), I was supposed to work on the second while Germano was on the first. He wisely decided to downsize the mod to ensure it would actually ship, so I then started working on the second map of the first level... and we quickly realised there were some noticeable artistic differences in the execution (I guess we were not mature enough to think of creating a style guide/building blocks to facilitate that), so I stopped mapping. He reused my paper designs though, the second map is based on my design, as well some bits of the third map.
I ended up in charge of doing all the QA and managed the creation of the trailer.

My friends and I were talking about headsets again last night, I don't think we'll be buying one any time soon. I'm not anyways.
It's all still early hardware but I'm hoping for prices to be less than $1k for a top of the line kit. Or maybe the jump from spending $500 on a kit to spending $1k+ will be for enthusiasts or whatever.
I also have the same hesitancy for buying headsets as I do with consoles. There's usually only one or two games that I want to play on the entire system. Aside from my Switch that I recently bought, the last console I played was a ps3 and by that time, the ps4 had been out for awhile. The reason? I showed my dad a gameplayer trailer of The Last of Us and him being a huge Walking Dead fan at the time, went out and bought a ps3 so we could play it. 

If you wait long enough you'll be able to play Half-Life 7 on your neuralink.

Afaik one of Remedy's projects called Vanguard is based on UE, but the rest should all be Northlight based.
Their tech has always been fairly competent, so don’t really see any reason they should abandon it.

Valve trimmed their "deck", so it looks bigger

I had such a great time with this game, going to wait a little while, maybe until the next gen of VR kits to come out to play it again. 

I'm enjoying the campaign WAY more than I thought I would. The gameplay feels really polished, I'm loving how the AI often trolls you in diferent ways and adapt to what you do.
The combat is just really well done here. If you already have a gamepass account, this is a must get, imho. It's legit impressing me in many ways, I didn't realize how much I missed a good FPS SP game. 

Everything this guy says about this game is #confirmationbias for me.

Just watched Sam Lake talking about AW2 and they aren't changing engines. Their workflow is probably deeply tied to their own engine.

They already stated they are working on their Northlight engine for this sequel, I don't really see a reason they would change that at least 1 year prior to release?
Their partnership seemed to be purely a developer-publisher relationship to me, I could be wrong but I did not see any incentive to work with Epic's engine; even for Crossfire X where the multiplayer is running on Unreal Engine 4, Remedy went with Northlight for the single-player...

Yeah, Remedy has deep roots to the demo scene. All their games use proprietary tech, which is great.
As much as I love UE, it's great to still have some teams out there making their own engines..

This is pretty much the most awesome Tech demo one could think of. ?

Y'all should check out Black Mesa Blueshift, also yes I'm reviving this whole thread. 
BMBS is amazing 

Blender 3.0 is out today
 
 

GTA: Turbosquid Edition

Have they goddamn moved the release date? Ok should be happy it’s actually coming earlier(?) but thought was coming out by holiday time.
First game in a while I feel like getting at day 1.
I wish animation was just a tad smoother, but I get what kind of game they are doing.

Very nice short created with film maker and Alyx assets
