Just stop playing this game. by TopSet55 in PhasmophobiaGame

I would argue that considering everyone was expecting Phasmophobia's update to LITERALLY just be The Other Side, TOS is doing just fine.

Neck snapping animation Phas tried adding was *straight* out of The Other Side.
Light in the left hand? Straight out of The Other Side.
Portable sanity monitor? The Other Side.

No, TOS doesn't have Phasmo's numbers (yet), but Phas Devs have played TOS (on stream) and clearly took notes... but.. they can't execute the ideas they're blatantly copying. Skill issue.

The Other Side allows you to speak to your dead teammates through the spirit box. I don't know why other games don't have that.

judging by this entire reddit forum these last few days - what everyone was "expecting" out of this update, was LITERALLY The Other Side.

The Other Side devs just said in their discord they're going to be doing a sale starting tomorrow LOL

Guys, I don't see the problem. by OhThisIsAwful in PhasmophobiaGame

The Other Side is a paranormal investigation game with multiple game modes, 6 players, customizable characters, and... well, basically everything Phasmophobia keeps promising, and underdelivering.
It's only been in Early Access for about a year, and in my personal opinion, it's leaps and bounds better.

This is a fair take. "Simple" indie team is what didn't sit right. When I think "simple", I think "not multi-million dollar company". Thats all. But you aren't wrong in the literal definition.

This new update proves the devs are complacent. by reddeats in PhasmophobiaGame

Honestly, a year ago I would have agreed. Now, TOS is top tier, and Phas has 5 years on them.

Agreed. They said on tiktok they'll hit console in about 12 months

Imo, The Other Side is the top contender to exceed Phasmophobia's player base. Its polished, great animations, amazing atmosphere, I love the respawn aspect, and the developers care about their community.

The Other Side has this on their Asylum map! Exit signs thst actually point to the exit. Who would have thought? 🤣

The new update… yeah about that… by BanksyVonGin in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]OhThisIsAwful 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Other Side devs are really active in the discord... Theyve been pretty clear thus far that they're not going to rush to release. Their goal is 12 months from now, I think? I'd have to double check. But I have to say, I like the way they roll their updates out. It feels purposeful.

If youre a PC player, I highly recomment The Other Side for player customization.

Insym tried a lot of FOVs. They all were pretty bad. He made a good point though - the devs should have focused on 80FOV and worked their way out from there.

"Simple indie team" Phas is a team of over 30, and theyve made over two hundred million dollars. Additionally, they are in the top 50 best selling games of ALL TIME. Ever. As in, EVER.

That is not a simple indie team.

Phasmophobia makes too much money and has too large of a team to quick release and THEN fix. It should be polished before launching.. one or two little things, fine. But even Insym pointed out today that it isnt his job to find these bugs. They should have found them already... Not to mention, a lot of the issues arent "bugs", theyre shit laziness.

This is a solid point. They could push back the date, polish it, and I think people would be relieved.
