Random video game news... RNG 4 EVA

[Keyrock]

Are you a disenfranchised Dead Space fan? Do you miss cutting off limbs? Are you looking for a spooky atmospheric game filled with tension that's IN SPAAAAAACE?

Striking Distance has you covered.

I can't stop seeing Death Stranding in that games cover.

Outside the amazing interface/HUD (which sadly hasn't caught on), and a few funny limbs cutting, Dead Space has always been what System Shock was like had Michael Bay been responsible for it.

It was so linear, so flashy, loud, dumb and so repetitive so fast, I never fully finished it. No wonder it was such a big hit tho.

didn't finish any dead space game

combat just getting too tedious

that church in 2 have some interesting style

[Sven_]

The combat and stuff in Dead Space was much inspired by Resident Evil 4. A game which admittedly I also didn't particularly like outside a few moment to moment thrills (the initial arrival in the starting village is thrilling, as was the game really good at capturing what it must be like to be hunted by a mob.)

(RE7 was a welcome surprise for me in that series, but with 8 being a cross between 4 and 7, I'm not interested.)

@kanisatha Given OtherSide's heritage, my immediate suspicious would be an Underworld-style game: (Ok, they already did Underworld Ascendant, which didn't fare too well).  Which COULD also actually be pretty cool though, with distinctive D&D classes providing distincintly different playing experiences, such as on System Shock 2. Have there been any more news on this so far? Their own website doesn't even list the game yet (or I'm blind).  

Re: Voice-overs, insterestingly, Solasta seems fully voiced too. Despite not even having companions as such... Will be interesting to see what Owlcat will do with their new Warhammer game.

Yeah none of these studios' websites have anything on their games in production. Here's a recent article with parts of an interview of Warren Spector who was recently hired by OtherSide Entertainment. He's working on a completely different game in their new Austin, Texas studio, whereas the D&D game is being made by their Boston studio. That game is referenced in the second hald of the story in the link:

As we were able to see with the price crash, he wasn't wrong at all about NFTs. : >

I sort of liked Dead Space. Enough to almost finish it

Towards the end and the last boss engagements, I did use chests though. Fights too repetitive. Too uninteresting and too many. What kept me going was the atmosphere. Very well made

It's not a bad game, and yeah, some of the design is cool. As said, the interface and HUD is AMAZING to this day. It's fully integrated into the game experience, with everything shown in a very non-instrusive way, rather than how things have evolved since. It's as if Looking Glass Studios and their gradual evolution to Thief had died for nothing with games CONSTANTLY reminding that you're just playing a stupid video game.

Dead Space:





Next-Gen AAA Gaming (this isn't actually Elden Ring, but a popular mock of how Elden Ring would have looked liked had it been developed by Ubisoft et all).

I loved DS, I played all 3. I enjoyed the narrative and the  mystery of the flashbacks and it was a  scary game with all those noises and echoes...I was constantly nervous about where the next alien was  I also liked the different weapons and the general crafting in DS3  was fun and effective 

Remember all the alien babies in the nursery 

How did you use chests in the final battles, I used cheats

I blame auto correct on my phone. Scratch that, I generally hate posting from my phone, as I have a hard time correcting spelling errors and outright missing words and sentences when I can't read the thing in one go on a screen

It should also have said 'Too uninteresting and too many *fights*'

I cant use my phone for any forum posts, its difficult and constrained. Imagine the level of there\their mistakes you guys would notice then 

[Hawke64]

I liked Dead Space and its combat system - can't remember dismemberment implemented effectively anywhere else (in The Surge, maybe?). Though, would prefer the MC to remain silent, because it is more immersive and less irritating.
I think, there were MTX in the last game (and the DLC's ending was disappointing)?

[Keyrock]

[Humanoid]

If I play the game while wearing those old-school red-and-blue 3D glasses, the game's colour scheme might end up looking normal.

The legal war over Disco Elysium reaches Disco Elysium levels of complexity

[Mamoulian War]

Well looks like typical East European scheme of how to get rich. Seize the assetts through some loophole and sell them before anyone notices

[Lexx]

Banker and then criminal records? Those are the worst people, you can't trust them ever, at all, no matter their words. Shame they got to such people and now it's all in ruins.

Thank god they noticed it and Kurvitz is blocking the sale.

Midnight Suns reviews seem to be all over the place.

RPS really liked it, even giving it "RPS Bestest of the Best" badge which genuilly surprising considering what I have seen before.

Skillup having been more mixed, recommending the game for it's combat, but pointing to poor performance, and heavily criticising the social base elements

ACG jave been overall rather negative

It turns out that the game even has cosmetic microtransactions, if the game didn't look like a questionable offering already. In power of Marvel IP we trust I suppose.

[Humanoid]

No Midnight Suns: Long War then I suppose.

I’ve seen them already in february. They were used especially for depicting helicopter combat at that time.
