It was teased in a secret area of the PotC crossover but it looks like I’m diving back into Sea of Thieves in a month.

EDIT: oh I guess it’s for the NOPE3 thread but good enough

Excitement, concern – not sure I’m gonna be happy if there’s actually a bunch of voiceover and cutscenes in the game proper

i don’t really know what to make of this game but it certainly looks ambitious and like it could be a good jank vibey experience. we’ll just have to see

edit: oh it’s the same people who made Cloudpunk. that makes sense. i imagine it will carry over the issues with that game, but who knows.

also i don’t know if this will be good at all there’s something about this kinda uncanny valley Oblivion style aesthetic combined with a puzzle game esp a name like ā€œIslands of Insightā€ that appeals to me. it just looks slightly off in a way that caught my eye

as the resident 20XX lover i can’t recommend this game very highly. it’s much prettier and the music rocks but like, it feels bad to play somehow? also it’s an order of magnitude more complex in ways that i don’t think add to the experience.

i should probably play a newer version to see if it’s improved, since i last played it a few months ago. still, i don’t have high hopes

this is really disappointing to hear. i loved 20XX and spent a lot of time with it when it came out. it was my go-to game for flights. anyway, was really looking forward to this one since 20XX could use the visual upgrade, but it sounds like they didn’t stick the landing. can you think of what specifically doesn’t feel good about it? what is more complex?

i’m going to sign up to this, i demand regular hourlong publisher meetings with two of the sweatiest french men i’ve ever met, one of whom spends the entire thing talking about how colours represent different kind of emotions and the other is totally silent for the whole thing and then at the end goes ā€œi think the girls should have more, you know, of les cannesā€. on the other hand if anybody wants to try pitching Emannuelle 64 this might be the time

The actions will include, but not be limited to, closing or divestments of some studios and the termination or pausing of some ongoing game development projects. It will also include decreased spending on non-development costs such as overhead and other operating expenses. We will reduce third party publishing and put greater focus on internal IP and increase external funding of large-budget games.

they embraced a little too many companies
