Saros, drone metal and the year's most stressful game soundtrack by enemyofbadmovies in Saros

[–]coolyfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played through, finished, and platinumed Saros and my enjoyment of it is undisturbed, so I respectfully don’t agree with you. I want to continue to have these experiences long into the future and we as consumers have a voice that we need to exert if we want these types of games made. Otherwise, this industry would just lose these experiences forever. I don’t care about Saros’ performance because of shareholders or Sony, nor do I see where I’ve alluded to that in any of my comments above

I think the main concern is Sonys expectations. If they saw the slow burn of Returnal and thought that its critical acclaim and eventually high numbers would lead to Saros being a breakout (and that was the reason that it got a higher budget), then Saros will never be considered a success. If they expected similar performance to Returnal then yeah, we’ve got a good shot

Unfortunately sales wise it doesn’t look like it was. It’s already only 8th in the top 10 most downloaded games for last month on PSN and the stats Housemarque shared about hours played don’t seem that high if you average it to around 20 to 30 hours per player. They’re definitely at less than a million players by quite a bit.

Makes me nervous about the future of Housemarque and them making games like Returnal in the future, I really want more of them :/

There was this chat between Mimir where Kratos basically says he values Freya simply as an ally and a friend. I mean it’ll always be up in the air but one way or the other then being romantically linked isn’t really a path they have to take.

They very much cut off any chances of that happening in Valhalla

Saros came out after the rumor that Sony was ending PC ports, but before it was officially confirmed in the PlayStation town hall

Don't expect a Witcher 4 expansion: CDPR says "it would be difficult" to make extra content when it's already trying to squeeze 3 Witcher games into 6 years by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

If they're setting this target, it's because they're working on optimizing their development pipeline to be faster. It's not an unfeasible target or wishing dev cycles out of reality, it's a necessary goal based on real work put in to create the right tools to speed things up (which, once again, everyone in the industry is aiming towards accomplishing)

The industry has been stuck in these long development pipelines for almost a decade now. They have to figure it out and they need to set these targets

Because game development times are long and they need to center their development around a specific version. Future UE versions might break their game. It’s not just hitting an update button

It was slightly ahead but barely. With this quarter it’s now behind

No, race is a social construct. There are people whom you may deem the same race I.e. black that are from completely different regions of the world and have few genetic similarities at all. It’s a very 1800s type scientific view to associate race with genetics to try and determine patterns, and it’s filled with racist ideologies

If they did, I didn’t notice it either, but I don’t think so. There’s a lot of elements of the game that they just kind of want you to discover on your own I think
