I'm still thinking PC gaming is in great health at the moment.
Dishonoured 2 is meant to be great, got it stacked up to play. Titanfall 2 SP turned out to be a blast. Deus Ex Mankind Divided still looks good and is also stacked up. OTOH Space Hulk beta was in some need of refining, hopefully it will be patched into polish. And then we have: Prey Gameplay trailer aka Dishonoured Space Ex whatever, looks like they are throwing all the gameplay options in, who knows it might work as well as Dishonoured. Monsters look cool too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81Ofcp8Pp_U And Mass Effect 4 looks pretty nice in a very ME sort of way, could even tempt me to put up with the endless dialogue trees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOIzH6UcoW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz8Y1V8gy1A
Hopefully they'll update it to this decade's graphics, but a new Mechwarrior game has got to be a good thing. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjEeDz51pHE Same universe, different genre. Despite similarly early status, the functionality of this looks great. It will probably be a massive disappointment, because I'm looking forward to it so much.
Healthy sceptism is good, but so is a sensible appreciation of a game's chances. And surely the chances with that one are good :).
I mean, it's CDProjeckt so I think they've earned a good amount of good will :)
Other genres well covered in the future. Apart from DOW3 what else is exciting in the RTS genre?
Didn't see post #39. Not much into RTS anyway, the last I extensively played was Total Annihilation...
I recommend Verdun - very nice WW1 FPS. Gritty and realistic, squad-based combat. Really feels like WW1 where a single man is nothing, but a squad can influence a battle a liiiitle bit.
Pretty much the only game I play these days https://www.bluesnews.com/s/177741/necromunda-underhive-wars-announced
I'm just about to start Mordheim, I've heard it's tough and RNG-plagued but otherwise good. I'm getting the impression that the state of Games Workshop PC gaming is not amazing....but definitely GOOD, and widespread. New trailer. Looks alright
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/01/19/call-of-cthulhu-trailer-is-crazy-in-the-coconut/#more-424333 I enjoyed Dark Corners of the Earth. I noticed it has the same title font. I wonder if the two have more in common, like dev team and such.
Well called, Kona.
Also was gonna post the Cthulu thing.....the vibes and set-up look great, but the lack of any gameplay / perspective, as Daz's question indicates, gets the HYPE-O-METER wavering a bit. Promo image reminds me of this: http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/440-alone-in-the-dark-dos-front-cover.jpg
Dark Corners of the Earth wasn't good imo. I never finished it. btw: https://clips.twitch.tv/draqu_/CrazyOryxTooSpicy that Sinking City game has me more interested, mainly because its's an actual open world game with a focus on mystery etc.
Call Of Cthulhu - the atmospheres, mannnn. - still in the works.
Cyberpunk 2077 - a long way off but a fresh take from a dev with impeccable pedigree. - still in the works. Dawn Of War 3 - shoddy gameplay trailer, but looks more of the same with added Knights, which is good enough. - it's out! Some reports are too MOBA-y but from what I've seen it looks good. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - HR made up for IW, series is back on track, looks slick. - great, sure it's small-scaled and cliched, but a really fun explorathon. Dishonoured 2 - looks like the perfect sequel to a cool fun game. - still not played this but by all reports it's great. Dreadnought - neat looking spaceship combat game....but only if it gets the promised SP campaign. - no chance of SP so can fuck off. Elex - RPG from them Gothic lot. A mish-mash of every theme in existence, interesting how it will turn out. - still a long way away. Hellraid - another cool-looking fantasy FPS thing. Will this one disappear up it's own arse too? Hope not. - almost certainly vapourware. Phoenix Point - grittier looking XCom-style game from original devs who liked the reboots. SOLD. - it's funded! http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-05-02-julian-gollops-phoenix-point-funded-within-a-week Prey - not much known but trailer looks intriguing, from Dishonoured devs. - 2 days. BioSystem Shock but hey it still looks good. Great-looking monsters. SpaceHulk: Deathwing - Trailer looks perfect as an adaptation of this game. Left 4 Tyranid? Count me in. - short, unambitious, best in SP only, but good and stylish stealer mashing. Styx: Shards Of Darkness - if you liked the first nifty goblin-themed stealth-em-up, this looks spot on. - meant to be more of the same but a bit better. Titanfall2 - it's got a proper single player campaign and robosuits. Worth a try. - well worth a try and indeed top 5 last year. Great fun and amazing graphics. Where is the SP DLC tho?? Battletech - turn-based mech combat, alpha gameplay looks spot on. - where is my fucking backer-funded beta?? Pffft. Anyway, game due sometime later this year. So there we go, you win some you lose some. Albeit most of the losses are abandoning SP / abandoning the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt6FatHHnzI&feature=youtu.be
very ueful vid. confident in my backing of this. Goody! I thought the Metro saga was supposed to be over...? The trailer looks extra yummy, thanks for sharing. Isn't the music taken from The Fountain OST by Clint Mansell? It's the same melody.
Anybody hyped for this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHht8480cEo Trailer is bonkers! Don't miss the final seconds when a character drops acid. Also, ArrrCee reviewed it on his GGRC channel, for those interested. Yeah that looks awesome. I thought it was supposed to be over too. Guess they changed their mind.
Although, it all seemed like a scripted sequence which I bet doesn't play out like that in the final game. You wouldn't make that spectacular outdoor area only to be over in 30 seconds. Nah not the Fountain score, it's much more modern, a lot of trailers have used that theme lately (or variations of that theme, as here it's more techy). Not sure where it comes from, clearly inspired by some Hans Zimmer scores. I wouldn't mind knowing where it came from and if it does have a full score, sounds good. it all seemed like a scripted sequence which I bet doesn't play out like that in the final game.
That's what I was wondering, especially in the sequence with the cliff and zipline. That said, it's supposed to be a gameplay trailer, so ideally it should play out like that. I too would like to know where the music comes from. Anyone? Maybe a remix of Mansell's work?
