There's no definite time for the release yet, but it should be soon. I wanted to post a heads up for those not following closely.
 Rage 2
#10522 posted by arkngt on 2019/05/25 14:54:36
Anyone playing Rage 2? I was initially very unimpressed by it; disliked the intro, disliked the world, disliked the driving. But I have to say that id (as I understand it, they are behind the combat, weapons, abilities etc) nailed the actual gameplay.
I thought it would be Doom 2016 in an open world and in a way it of course is, but they have somehow managed to reinvent the fps once again, creating a unique gameplay. So in short, as much as I dislike almost everything in the game, I just can't stop playing it as the combat is so fun.

Really impressed of some old addon Doom levels like "Dantes's Gate" from John W. Anderson.
It might be the game is a bit outdated, but the maps are very well construckted and oversize the original Doom levels.
 So.

 Raging On Rage 2
#10529 posted by Redfield on 2019/06/14 06:20:29
A Plague Tale has beautiful art direction, stunning environments and character models.
Rage look like it was designed by a team of permafries that couldn't lay off the wacky tobaccy.
A Plague Tale has unique gameplay mechanics and story driven experience.
Rage is a ripoff of Doom 2016. Which in turn is an updated ripoff of itself.
THE WINNER IS:
... Raptor: Call of the Shadows!
Seriously this game rocks.
 I Call Bullshit.
#10530 posted by Shambler on 2019/06/14 11:20:16
Rage2 is a rip-off of Far Cry meets Mad Max. Doom4 was pretty much it's own thing even as a reboot.
I am far more tempted by Plague Tale, despite the Vondur seal of approval on Rage 2.
It all goes back to focus and purpose.
 Fucking Dishonoured 2.

So tell me. How can this game claim to give you a choice of playstyles when, despite giving you plenty of tools for some different playstyles, it will actively punish you with The Bad Ending etc etc. Spurious pile of shit. Either give the play some choice, or don't. Don't pretend to when what you really mean is "play in style X" or else.

Sledgehammer CoD WWII zombies team https://i.postimg.cc/bv4CGbr3/zzz-0g-wwii-zombie-devs-1598x1200.jpg can u name them somebody pls? I recognise WWII zombies director Cameron Dayton and Jason Warnke (lead design on the Frozen Dawn level), who does the actual 3D in WWII zombies maps? thanks.
what are your CoD ZOMBIES achievements? I have managed solo surviving to these number of waves in WWII/BO1: Groesten Haus 15, Call of the Dead 14, Shi No Numa 32, Ascension 42, Der Riese 34, Shangri La 31, Moon 22. EDIT: YAAAAAAS, yisyisyisyis yiiiissssssss, WWII Shadowed City Hunter finally defeated!!! now gimme WWII zombies season 2 pls!!!!!
PS: since Jason Warnke left the team in 2019, I guess there will be no WWII zombies season 2 after TFD ?

 No.

 Never Been Much Of A Valve Person
But I'm cautiously optimistic about both the game and VR.
When Carmack left Oculus last week, he cited his disappointment with the progress in VR, and the lack of progress in VR can be attributed to low hardware adoption and a lack of major releases.
Both of that will change with HL3A.
 I'm Hyped
I am so glad that they're revisiting this universe and the great thing about it being a prequel to HL2 means the expectations will by lower, also it's going to be for all VR platforms and not just index so kudos to them for this.
 It's Toss.
#10547 posted by Shambler on 2019/11/22 11:39:31
No-one plays VR. And even if Valve's desperate attempt to market VR by making HL3 exclusive to it quadruples the number of VR players, that's still no-one. It's a waste of an HL game.
 On A Much Happier Note.
#10548 posted by Shambler on 2019/11/22 11:45:39
Referring to Redfield's post a while back:
A Plague Tale has beautiful art direction, stunning environments and character models.
Absolutely correct:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971710064/screenshots/?appid=752590&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall
Although:
A Plague Tale has unique gameplay mechanics and story driven experience.
The gameplay isn't that thrilling, although it's well done for what it is. However it's very definitely recommended for the superb style and atmosphere alone. A lot of mapping inspiration in there too.
 Over 7 Million VR Devices Shipped This Year
I own a Quest and PSVR and play them often. I'm excited that this is a "full length" game and that's it non-exclusive. GG Valve.
 PS4 Sold 8 Million+ This Year
#10550 posted by Shambler on 2019/11/22 22:56:38
Bringing the total to 100 million.
Just to pull a random statistic out of the internet's arse. I suspect that 7 million units sounds big but is pretty small fry in the totatlity of games machines that could run an HL3 fps.
 Stats
The point is that the user base is growing year over year. "No one plays VR" is absolutely incorrect.
 It's A Generalisation Obviously.
#10552 posted by Shambler on 2019/11/23 00:37:27
"A slowly growing but still exceptionally small and thus almost entirely irrelevant proportion of gamers play VR" - is that better??
I now of two whole people I've encountered off/online who actually play VR games, congrats on being the second one! But, good for you being able to play HL3, it does look real cool aside from being VR. Would be nice if it could have been both - equally obviously.
Incidentally I found an interesting comparison was the Diabo Immoral (ggwp otp for that name) fuss. I strongly suspect a lot more gamers have access to mobile phones and maybe even play games on them - yet that branching out got panned. Not that it all means much (apart from fanboys being idiots).

I mean, it's obvious they are using this game to sell hardware -- just like a console exclusive. It only works if the game is good enough that people are willing to buy a new thing to play it.
I probably won't buy it. I generally don't buy a console for a single game, though.
 Yup.
#10555 posted by Shambler on 2019/11/23 10:12:27
I hate console exclusives because they're console exclusives....
I'd say it's arguably even worse making an exclusive out of a very highly anticipated / desired instalment in an established PC series, rather than with a new IP (like, I dunno, Horizon Zero Dawn), that doesn't have an established fanbase on a particular gaming machine.
Imagine if iDthesda turned around and made Doom Eternal into a Switch exclusive. FFS.
This isn't even a Valve VR exclusive.
 Doesn't Matter, VR Is Still More Obscure And Restrictive.

Apsulov End Of Gods, a minor sleeper hit in the curious narrative sci-fi horror sort of vein, with a cyber-viking (yes really) theme.
This is very much a B-List game (at a B-List price) with various crudities and issues, though nothing serious. BUT, it is quite interesting and appealing in it's own way. Story progression is fine, there's some good interactions, several good jump scares, some cool scenes and some freaky ones. And the theme / background is pretty fresh. Worth a look if you like this sort of thing. And it actually feels like the source material and core ideas could have easily warranted AAA production to make a likely minor classic.
