When I read that I was afraid Statham would play the boss, but the guy in the video actually works really well for leader of the Saints.

As far as I'm concerned the boss is a spicy Latina.

Ice cold Russian was mine.  The French lady from SR4 was close though.

Colony Ship interview

Nothing too revealing about the game itself, but:

Quote

"Now that the character and combat systems are done, we can finally focus on the content and the stealth system. Our goal is to hit Early Access by the end of the year. Then we'll need another year to do the rest, so the end of 2021 sounds fairly realistic right now."

 

[Keyrock]

I was really excited when Hellraid got announced forever ago and since then it's become vaporware. I guess a DLC for Dying Light is the closest we'll ever get to that game seeing the light of day (no pun intended).

[213374U]

Yeah, a pity that we'll never get a full-fledged game out of that. If it does well, maybe we can hope for a DL2 spin-off or something further down the line.

I'm not sure about the choice of setting though, not much of verticality in the viking age scandinavian countries. That said I wouldn't mind a viking game, Rune 2 was dissapointing.

[injurai]

I'd love a good Viking game, but even though the AC series has worked hard to revamp their gameplay with the last two games, I can only seeing the Viking setting held back by the Assassin roots. It seems they've also opted for extreme levels of rp mechanic padding. Already their best addition to the series of ship combat and one of the best pirate games to date, was 1.) held back by being an AC game even if the brand helped it get off the ground at all, and 2.) They are already breaking the ship part out into it's own series. Which proves the issue inherent in the series. Also I couldn't give a damn about the eternal Assassin/Templar b-plot anymore.

They should just refit the series to be Vikings Creed, Pirates Creed, etc. Make historical set piece games. But maybe that wouldn't work because the kiddos need their annual holiday comfort food and all that...

I don't know, I found Black Flag to be extremely frustrating. The lack of meaningful conequences - pirate hunters where so underwhelming, and being able to easily lower wanted level by ploudering the ship but not murdering the crew was mindboggling. 

It certainly looked like something that could be a fantastic pirate game. Is Skull&Bones even happening? It feels like ages since I heard of it. That's assuming they won't butcher it with some greedy monatization. 

[injurai]

Well, I think that pirate games are usually much much worse. They don't give you a feeling of being in a pirate world, or to do pirate things, this game starts do pull it off. It was also had one of the largest features added to the series to date. I'm not saying it's a particularly good game, by either AC standards or as a Pirate game. It just shows promise and squandered potential.

As far as Pirate games, I think BG&E2 is probably the Ubisoft game to be looking out for.

Glad to see some of these games are still alive.

The only one, which seems to be vanished with absolute zero info about its current state, which interests me, is Tales of Arise. But I doubt tabloid like IGN has any clue about that game. Not planning to give them my click, because I do not want to destroy my recommendations feed on YT, unless someone already seen it, and can confirm that they speak about it as well

[Skazz]

I've somehow never realized that BG&E 2 isn't out yet.

I think I may be becoming some combination of old, bloated, and senile.

[Keyrock]

Apropos nothing, has there been any hubbub about a new Due Sex (I know that's not how it's pronounced) game? Mankind Divided came out about 4 years ago and I haven't heard anything.

Wouldn't be surprising if they announced something shortly after the GoG release - get people to talk a bit about the old games to raise anticipation for a new one.

Still waiting on signs of life from the Seven Dragons Saga game from the TSI Games company. Last response was November 2018. Yeah it's probably dead.

Last word that I heard was something akin to "Deus Ex is a very important franchise for us that we plan to pursue in the future." - Eidos Montreal.

Which I think can also be read as "That's our backup game when we don't have a Disney contract and need to return to our own IPs."

edit: I also wouldn't be surprised if they are sitting things out until the Cyberpunk 2077 behemoth passes by, leaving them steadier waters to sail in.

This is essentially a free 2-ish hour demo for the game coming out in a few months, It's unremarkable, but perfectly functional turn-based cRPG. Check it out if you're looking to kill a couple hours.

Actually, this doesn't look half bad.  I may actually check the reviews upon release and go from there.

[Keyrock]

So, essentially Grounded is Conan Exiles: Honey I Shrunk the Kids Edition? It's got potential.

No time to read atm, unfortuntately. Is this a company from the original talent, or just Microprose in name only like Atari?
