Just for the record, since you link to Activision-Blizzard after saying hundreds of developers got fired. Blizzard didn't fire any game devs: https://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-has-cut-209-jobs-as-part-of-the-workforce-reduction-plan/
Fun fact for working at Ea. Not sure if this still applies but the Ea office in Guildford does not allow QA or test staff to use the main front door, that's for " face " staff and lower use a side door. And if your confidence report was lower than 3/5 you'd be pulled aside to explain yourself. Oh and a criterion lead yelling at the QA lead, " don't you know who I am " lol
Somehow I'm not surprised, though this modern-day attempts at a "higher class" kinda turn my stomach.
After seeing the PAX footage i'm not sure about this game anymore. It's less appealing to me compared to the first trailer. I got the feeling it's going to be overshadowed by Borderlands 3, Rage 2 and Cyberpunk.
Once again that trailer looks good, just like the very first one. What they showed at PAX was bad. I feel like as with the first trailer this rigged to look good. But i could be wrong.
well yea the first trailer by all accounts was a ton of smoke and mirrors. But ms and them had just merged, that probably lead to what can we announce along with this merger to give it some POP. and yea they rushed and faked a trailer together. But it is obsidian they do great rpgs there is little reason to think this will suck despite some big names leaving the studio. Their last several games have been good to very good in that time frame. And hell that merger with ms might give them some more ability to hire and qa. who knows. i doubt this is an anthem situation though. i think this was they just wanted to rush announce a game that was not ready for announce.
Not convinced tbh, I'm a long way from getting on the hype train, the first gameplay they released was astonishingly bad.
I really liked the trailer, however if you are showing this and not gameplay are you really confident about your game ?
@WhiteLightning Of course they have shown gameplay. They have before so theres usually no reason they wouldnt have at E3. It only sucks in 95% you only see gamepad gameplay. Im not used to those slow moevements, to the side, etc. its just somewhat annoying.
LOL, the game looks like it was made in 2010. Look at those character models. Look at those facial animations!!! I know graphics don't define a game but ....
I am looking forward to this, and it has nothing to do with the fact that i will be playing it free on GP. ha
