“By the ex developers of …” is almost always a red flag.
I’m surprised games still get marketed like this and still get hype.
Dunno, more often than not they are disgruntled developers unsatisfied with the direction the company is going. That usually means less artistic freedom, more crunch, more braindead monetization schemes.
Why is this a red flag?
I’ve noticed that games marketed that way usually turn out pretty poorly. Notable examples off the top of my head are Back 4 Blood, Callisto Protocol and Mighty No 9.
It can also be quite misleading as was the case with Back 4 Blood where there was only around 5 people on the team that were actually involved in L4D. Despite the whole “From the people that made L4D” thing.
There’s also the fact that being part of a team that made a successful game does not necessarily mean you’re going to be successful as part of another team. We also don’t know their level of involvement most of the time so they could be all the MVPs of the past projects. But they could also be people who were nowhere near as involved using their connection for clout and hype.
It’s not. I don’t think it’s particularly useful to market a product with that information, but it’s not a terrible thing that some people used to work elsewhere. And reading any more into it than that is just a form a bias.
Soo.... Blade?
And just like the Great White Shark, this guy has never had to evolve
Day walkeeer!
The article said nothing and there was one still image.
Wake me up when they have video from the gameplay.
I hope there’s atleast an option to play in third person view.
HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE! HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!
Same! Can't wait to buy it after reading the post-release reviews
And waiting for the patch that makes it stable, and the sale that makes it a better deal!
I'm sure it will be a wonderful game, after it's finished 4+ years after a buggy launch with the micro transactions section completely fine from the get go. And I'm sure they will roll out all the typical excuses for the buggy launch at full retail price. This timeline is getting predictable and boring.
I mean say what you want about cyberpunk, although I played it right at launch and had no issues and no bugs in a full playthrough, but it doesn't have any microtransactions, nor does the witcher 3.
