Don't care much about Avellone, but the moment they removed Brian is where it died for me.

Here is a summary of the sequence of events of the problems Paradox has had around development, its still in development but the closest the project came to being  cancelled was when the original developers, Hardsuit Labs , were fired

What a shame, Hardsuit Labs made such great games like Killing Floor 2!!! (my favourite coop shooter)

They probably don't have any RPG pedigree, but the they got the atmosphere and action based combat down pat, that's for sure :)

(and a lot of experience with actual, well working coop design from Killing Floor and Killing Floor 2)

Maybe thats why they dropped the ball with this game, they had no experience with making a RPG ?

The Chinese Room? I don't know who they are but I still hope this rumor is false.

They have created some smaller games but nothing on the scale of this, Im worried that they dont have the experience to deliver on this prestigious title. And the rumors have been around for about 12 months but I was hoping they not true

I played Dear Esther and Everybody's Goneto Rapture and they were both awful. 

If you want a good walking simulator go play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

 

As for RPGs...I have no idea how such a small inexperienced team is going handle a big game like this. 

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

  • Amentep changed the title to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Thread 2

A game that isn't even dead because it never was alive got into a second thread.

 

I am taking bets on how many threads we can reach before it either releases or gets officially abandoned.

Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

To make this thread worthwhile: actual news!

So yeah, there won't be physical editions, plus please feel free to cancel your pre-orders and here are 5 screenshots, three of which are in generic alleys/ sewers. I guess the one with the tree looks kind of interesting, though it looks more like something from the unannounced Thief: tDP remake.

Anyway, please check back in September!

Ah s- here we go again.

Not sure what to think of it. Too lazy to check the old stuff, but looks kinda the same to me.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I'm not sure I would go that far. Killing Floor 2 was originally made by Tripwire Interactive and Hardsuit Labs seems, by all accounts, to have only been responsible for the PS4 port of the game.

So according to Wikipedia, The Chinese Room sacked all their employees in 2017 and at that point the company was down to just the two directors working out of their house. In the six years since then they've been acquired, released one new mobile game, and re-released one of their old games for mobile.

Alrighty then.
