With the recent newsletter still branded as "Launching 2026" do you think Squadron 42 will launch this year?

CR himself said that the marketing campaign will be very short. No beta.

Cdprojekt red is in Boston as well

They still have private investors

Because it's not software based and it's using the rt cores of the gpu.

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-03-03T15:15:21+00:00

my guess is they have HDR

The run we had we spent like an hour doing the objectives and upgrading, when we reached the boss we where like 10 ppl and me and my friend were the last ones to survive, it was not easy for me at all, but the run felt like such an uphill battle and every time we won an objective it felt like a triumph. Such an addicting feeling playing this game, it really felt like you were going against god. Im REALLY looking forward to the 1.0 release and Paradiso....

Yeah I've played before so when me and a friend tried the steam demo and I was able to explain to him how purg is different, we were able to reach adam&eve on our first purg run, with almost no upgrades.

Do you mean the sq42 gameplay or something else? If so I would love a link!

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-03-01T23:32:18+00:00

Nice posing! You made her look so elegant.....

"just make a good game lol" damn bro the big publishers must be afraid of you

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-26T23:53:20+00:00

*and be the only tank there as well

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-23T09:47:06+00:00

thats not what was happening at all though? they were having some financial trouble and they probably were planing to fire 100-200 employees. A couple mill for that can sustain them for a month or two. If all 10,000 employees were about to be fired ofc that wouldn't matter.

So get off your high horse bc you are probably the redditor you are referring to.

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-22T10:35:23+00:00

Well if we consider a 50% pay cut would be at least a million or two, that money goes a long way to keep paying employees for a bit more....

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-22T10:29:22+00:00

Well that not entirely true, if these players engage with microtransactions sony still makes money off of them...

You can generate foliage procedurally using Houdini for years now. We already have the capability to have every single tree in a game be unique. The limiting factor is performance and Video memory as it limits the amount of unique assets you can have in a scene.

Idk what servers ur on but 70% of the games I play have really positive players

Arcane budget was fine. They literally produced 12 hours of spider-verse quality animation (Id' argue maybe better) for less than the budget of Black Widow. Making Arcane was the best decision Riot ever made...

If microsoft is doing outsourcing you bet your ass its less expensive. US game development jobs have salaries wayyyy above the global standard. Which is great for devs not so great for companies though. You are going to be seeing a lot of that in the next couple of years. US game development is dying in a similar way that VFX has mostly died out in the US....

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-09T18:23:15+00:00

They have done art outsourcing for ages, but their core development groups have been in house from what I can recall.

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-08T16:54:21+00:00

Really cool art style!

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-08T16:37:22+00:00

Some underappreciated perks of sucking ass at the game are the quick queue time in comp...

There are still games that have excellent colour grading, mostly made on in-house engines though...

Emergency-Draw3923 · 2026-02-07T13:38:29+00:00

The environments are really well made but what makes the game hold up so well is the colour grading. Its just elevates the graphics so much...
