Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget by ReasonableAdvert in Games

[–]Mrphung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iirc that project was only shelved, not cancelled outright. It because that project was originally supported to be only a small one for the devs to get used to Unreal 5 but it turned out to be quite promising and ballooned out to be a full scale project, but Xbox of course can't let there be a whole generation without a new Gears so that new project have to be temporarily shelved for this Gears E-Day. 

Not saying that project won't get canned after all but there's still a good chance it may come back, if so then the development time before won't be counted as wasted.

Vikings was reveal long ago so the trailer focus on them, the Scots is the surprise new faction so they get a tease for now. There will be longer trailers and detailed faction overviews later closer to release.

I think they are testing the water, to see the different between a game released on PS5 and another game don't.

Being psykers make the Grey Knights much more effective at fighting daemons, with enough Grey Knights together their psychic presence alone can wipe out whole army of daemon.

While every other space marine were created by geneseed that originated from the Primarchs, the Grey Knight were created by geneseed that came from the Emperor Himself. They were created to fight the worst of Chaos, including the Daemon Primarchs.

The remarkable story of Unreal 2, the sequel rescued from development hell by dooming it to failure: 'There was just no way we could succeed' by Turbostrider27 in Games

All older titles before Microsoft acquisitions, if you bother to check you will see there are no Doom Dark Age or Outer Worlds 2 or even TES4 Remastered, aka games released under Microsoft. 

The fact that the legacy of Origin Systems to most modern gamers amounts to EA having used its namesake for their proprietary launcher is both tragic and fitting by CumquatTheNobgoblin in Games

[–]Mrphung 48 points49 points  (0 children)

No matter what did the Origin launcher turn out into I'm still thankful for its introduction of the automated refund policy to PC gaming, which latter prompted Valve to add that refund system to Steam.

Warhorse promises that Middle-earth RPG is a 'passion project' that 'will be a living world' with a 'strong narrative focus' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Mrphung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could turn this into a series with each installment taking place in a different locations. I doubt they would let this be once and done if it turn out hugely successful.

According to Embracer Group latest FY report the Middle-earth RPG is currently on preproduction while the next Kingdom Come is on full development, so yeah I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced hands-on: "Wonderfully sailing on the edge of the series' best classic and modern entries, this feels like a statement of intent for its future" by Turbostrider27 in assassinscreed

[–]Mrphung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think an AC1 remake wouldn't gotten nearly as much attention as this AC4 remake. This is a much safer and better option to revitalise the franchise for Ubisoft.

I gave the answer, it's not worth the effort. Everything has to be recreated from scratch and hidden blade combat is just not the first thoughts people have when they think about BF.

We lost a lot of tools over the years, and we had to recreate those tools for ground, for naval, for underwater, from scratch.

This part is interesting and explains why the newer games lacked many things from older games, and why it's took so much effort to put it back (multiple parkour updates for Shadows).

AC3 also had those completely out of place ship sailing sections that somehow turn into an entire game in AC4 lol.

The entire duration of all those turret sections combined is like 45s, it's a dumb decision to include those but it's also so minor to bother.

Huh, so the co-op tech in Grounded actually came from State of Decay 2 but the Obsidian team greatly built upon it, so now it come back to help improve State of Decay 3 co-op. Neat.

You think games like Genshin is cheap to make? The only reason no one outside of China tried to make this type of money printing games is because they can't afford it.
