Agiel Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Having played the North American beta last month I can confirm that it pulled out all the stops for Wuxia tropes (of course a heaping helping of Qinggong, but also martial arts manuals, Qi cultivation, and references to the Jianghu), of which I heartily approve. I also suspect the inclusion of golden swallows in this trailer are a reference to Cheng Pei Pei's character in <<Come Drink With Me>>. Edited May 17 by Agiel 2 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawke64 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summery-soulslike-enotria-the-last-song-is-delayed-again-but-theres-an-8-hour-demo-coming-soon Quote Enotria's now officially arriving on the 19th of September on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Xbox. [...] As for Enotria's demo, that'll arrive on May 22nd on PC. It'll be around 8-hours long and start you off in "Quinta, the City of Actors", where you'll almost certainly parry lots of dribbly theatre kids who give off an irksome vibe. You'll do that with four weapon classes, six masks, 20 spells and 30 perks. Masks, by the way, are ways of equipping different attack styles and building loadouts. There's no word on whether demo progress will carry into the full game, which suggests that it won't be the case. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/redfall-will-receive-one-final-update-after-all-including-an-offline-mode Quote Redfall is getting a final update which will add an offline mode and singleplayer pausing, among other changes. The news was announced via the Redfall account on X, which also thanked players for their "supportive messages" in light of developer Arkane Austin's imminent closure by Microsoft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The next goose/goat game? ...I don't think I'd have interest in it myself (never tried goose/goat game either), but the trailer made me giggle. 2 “Things are as they are.

Don't have much else in the way of what I want: a party-based fantasy RPG that is NOT turn-based combat. That's a pretty low bar. I think they can fulfill that. It seems they're chasing another trend though (did they ever do different?): Combat similar to Gods Of War this time 'round. Personally I'm super glad I don't have to rely on Bioware, Bethesda or tiny indies anymore exclusively. Best thing that has happened in the past ten industry years. Well that, and Immersive Sims having another run (though it's come to an end with Deus Ex put on hiatus again, the Thief reboot misfiring from the go -- and Arkane's future in limbo). And now for something completely different: Gonna go watch Furiosa. WHAT A DAY WHAT A LOVELY DAY. Edited May 23 by Sven_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked CDPR games, which seemed only to worsen since TW1, so hopefully, there will be no similarities. Larian games might have issues, but they are improving in some aspects. 16 hours ago, kanisatha said: https://wccftech.com/dragon-age-dreadwolf-has-everyone-at-bioware-really-happy-with-how-it-turned-out/ It's the #1 game in my Steam wishlist, so I want it to be good <fingers crossed>.

They might have been looking for a replacement of St. Petersburgh Larian, which they shut down when the Russian kerfuffle started. Warsaw sounds like a decent place for a studio on a budget with a lot of talent to draw from, and it is close enough within the time zone to support their 24h development cycle. ex-CD Project folks are an obvious titles, but there are a lot of polish devs and would-be-devs out there. It also seems like CDPR folks are more than happy to leave on their own, considering the ammount of "by ex-CDPR devs" attacked to indie projects, so I wouldn't worry too much. If anything, big budget RPG competition, might made CDPR care a bit more about their employees. Edited May 24 by Wormerine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that it's turned more in the Mass Effect direction, where you mostly control the main character and the party members don't contribute as much. Can't remember where I read it, so no idea how true. EDIT: Oh, it was mentioned in that article too, guess I didn't imagine it.
