hogso Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Firewatch looks just my sort of thing, What Remains of Edith Finch, too. Both have that modern 'adventure game' vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm interested in The Division, the latest gameplay videos are really intriguing. Seems like there's lots of elements to the upgrade system, and the dark zones could be real fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) The Witness, a first person puzzler from the maker of Braid set on an island, taking heavy inspiration from Myst, will be on PSN at the end of the month...for £30. No thank you. Edited January 20, 2016 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Gotta pay for that seven year development cycle somehow I guess. Perhaps pricing yourself out of the market isn't quite the way to do it but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It really has been that long since Braid first came out on the 360, hasn't it? Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yep. Braid was an original Summer of Arcade game from August 2008. The Witness was announced in '09. I remember the late Ryan Davis writing a feature on the game for Giant Bomb ages ago when it looked like the game wasn't far from release on PS3 and 360.

hogso Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, it looks boring to me. I read it's 80 hours long if you do everything. 80 hours of maze puzzles, you'd have to be mad, wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 It looks like work in all honesty. Apparently it builds to a greater... 'thing'... But everyone seems to have realised that the moment you spoil what that is, there's nothing to bother with in the game. Unless you love those line puzzles. I swear had it been made by someone other than Jonathan Blow or some other indie darling, nobody cares about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games so bland & generic...I was worried when this got push back (I know someone in the industry who said what he played was not very good ala watch dogs also made by Ubisoft) & my fears were right. The firing mechanics are pretty decent but the world is just so bland, if it was by a small developer then fine but for me....it was boring as hell. Not the be all but it also looks horrible.

V01 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 As it's now out of NDA, My thoughts after the alpha were: It's similar to Defiance that came out a few years ago, Primarily single player but you can team up at any point. There's a base you can build up/upgrade as you rescue people/find items etc. Open world map with loads of collectables/encounters and main/side missions. Weapons weren't very accurate, the starting pistol was most useful out of the weapons I got to use. There are weapon and armour mods and an abilities/perks system. What I played was good and as alpha's go it was very polished, however, if that is what the final game is released as I'll be disappointed. The beta is basically the alpha without the bugs and tightened up weapon balance/less bullet spongey enemies. exact same content as in the alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The pvp doesn't look interesting enough for me (I think it will turn into a massive gank zone) and ubisoft open worlds have become so dull & boring. I'll probably give this one a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
