Video Games [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 234

I’m like 90% sure I read or saw an interview where they said it’s playable but they name dropped red dead 2 as a reference point for the quality they were reaching for so they’re taking their time with releasing it

 

Tbh I really just hope they aren’t done with the Witcher universe for good, I know Geralt’s story is over but another Witcher game where we play as Ciri would be welcome

 

Maybe it will be ready for Spring 2020 then. Then it would make sense that they're showing it at E3 this year.

Also this is probably going to be a lame E3. The E3 before a new console generation gets announced is always awful (I still have E3 2012 PTSD). So they may want to just absolutely steal the show and monopolize everyone's attention with Cyberpunk.

 

That’s gonna be a wild pachinko machine for sure

 

think I'm going to hop back into The Witcher this weekend thanks to @sophos34. have no idea where I left off though so that should be interesting...

 

Kinda, you have to break into a base or defend the base during the match

 

I really want a prequel game with Geralt

 

You mean like a prequel to W1? So wouldn’t that be a game about the books really?

 

I guess a better way to put it is a character like him, an expert monster hunter, and you just hunt and shit.

 

Given that and Starfield are supposedly on the same engine that they’ve recycled for what, 15 years, I don’t have any hope for any of their future releases that they’re directly involved with. If they actually pull their finger out and work with a new engine, something good might happen.

 

tbh from all the research I’ve done the engine is not the problem

 

I mean regardless, the engine is a janky shitpile. So it absolutely doesn’t help. I don’t know why they thought they could apply the online aspect to it.

 

not that it’s the best engine in the world but the problems of their recent games go so much further than simply the engine that a new engine won’t mean shit without an overhaul of game design philosophy. I’d rather see that and the same engine than a new engine and the same design

 

They have used Frostbite for Andromeda, which apparently is very powerful but hard to tame, and also EA’s default engine currently

 

We’re talking about Bethesda not bioware

 

there’s an elder scrolls centric YouTube channel I follow that had a video about the engine not being to blame with fallout 76 that I’ll have to dig up after work it was interesting

 

Oh I thought we’re talking Anthem still lol

Yeah Bethesda needs to fix their shit and/or adjust their ambitions because Fallout 4 was hanging on by a thread a lot of the time

 

Safe to say they’re a mess and have been for a while. Glad they aren’t getting a free pass anymore. Hopefully it prompts some reflection and they can start putting out functional games again.

 

frostbite fucked andromeda and inquisition because ea made all their studios switch to it in the middle of production for those games so they basically had to start from scratch. tbh I’m amazed inquisition was as stable as it was when I played through it recently

 

I just started Inquistion yesterday and I’m loving it so far

 

one of my favorite rpgs I’ve ever played

 

Inquisition is awesome

 

Wait where was it confirmed that Starfield/TESVI is running on their current engine??? That’s fucking so stupid I hope they’re not doing that...

 

Got some GameStop gift cards for Xmas. Scored some psn cards with them.

Pre ordered Sekiro. Then got Celeste, Dead Cells, and Castlevania SotN remastered. All on sale!

Played an hour of Celeste, and DC both were fantastic so far.

Fuck I love Video Games
