Ya cause I'm getting the game no matter what but if I can get it early and play it early then I will!!
I must admit, I am hyped for this game but finding time between MHW and BL3 is going to be tricky.
Been watching plenty of footage and the only issue I have is that the maps seem a little...um...flat. There does not seem to be a lot of verticality in the map design. Its mostly open zones with monsters ready to cave my skull in.

Aren't maps randomly generated? I swear I heard it in a video, maybe form Gamespot. Well even if they aren't they feel like it.
Yup! Randomly generated and there's something of an AI director as I understand it as well!
Hopefully the developers pop in here soon to answer questions about the VIP weekend. If there busy that's cool tho I mean I'll probably pre order it anyway 😂
So the preview weekend will allow you to play the game August 16-18, then take the game away from you for a day while officially releasing it on the 20th? Seems super weird to me. Just let the folks who pre-order the game have access to it starting on the 16th and be done with it. In any case I'm super excited for this as a Darksiders fan (especially the art direction) and looter-shooter fan in general as well.
I want this to be good so badly, it's very rare to find a game that ticks all the boxes of exactly what I like but I think this game definaltey has it covered. Just a bit worried there isn't more coverage especially when it's so close to release and when it looks so good. I've even managed to convince 3 other mates to buy it (one even bought a Ps4 Pro lol) so we can form a squad from day 1, fingers crossed but I believe in you devs!
It looks like access begins at 9pm PST/Midnight EST/5am UK Friday 16th/Saturday 17th. It also looks like this is being called 'VIP access' by the devs and they've talked about it being a '4 day early access to the full game' in the reddit Q&A: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/co6htm/we_are_gunfire_games_developers_of_remnant_from/
Also some tweets say the same:
3 other guys? You know one of them is gonna get left out, right? It is only 3 player coop. I feel bad for that extra dude :'(
Also I agree that the game seems to be lacking coverage. I also feel the artstyle/level design is a little on the bland side from the previews so far. I know it is randomly generated but all of the generated levels seem to... How do I put it....? They lack
Exactly. That's it!
I wanted some more Souls style navigating the world's up and down but it seems it's basically random zones stitched together. Unless I am massively missing something, there does not seem to be ways to progress vertically in the the world. I guess it's way more complicated to have random generation and put verticality into it.
I say that because the Steam store page makes it sound like that's the case...
...including "Weekend" is really what makes me think it's only a 3-day "preview" of the game before release which, again, would be weird given that it releases "officially" on the 20th. Hopefully we get some clarity on it soon.
Edit: I see in the post above that the devs supposedly spoke about "VIP access" being a 4-day early access to the full-game so maybe we already have confirmation of that. Still, weird wording using "Preview Weekend" if it's really the full-game releasing to players who pre-ordered which have full access to the game just like a normal release day. I'm obviously not complaining about that but rather the communication could have been a bit better.

Yep, that's what's weird. If we consider a preorder any purchase before the 20th and any preorder gives you early access to the game, then that's like having the 16th as the actual release date. Unless the only preorders qualifying for early access are those before the 16th...
Some clarity would be great.
Heeeeeh damn man I really didn't want to read something like that but here goes :
VERY wrong move here. Nobody remotely serious will bother playing this more than 3 weeks period. If you cant keep player engaged with itemisation / rewards, most of your playerbase will flock to Borderlands 3

I'm not sure they were ever competing with that.
This is a much smaller scale game, with some "Dark Souls with guns" vibes. It's not an item based dungeon crawler.
i dont think it really matters, people wanna be rewarded when playing at higher difficulty with proper loot tiers or at least better equipment
Even Bloodborne has this, since you need to do chalice runs in NG+ to get better weapons, yet its not exactly a looter. Shame
I mean, you get rewarded with more XP.
it's just not the kind of game you thought it was. it doesn't have randomly generated loot.
ok, i wanted a dark souls / bloodborne with guns. if it doesnt offer better weapons like in said souls games at higher difficulty, there's no point. people wont play it only for the challenge. why lose your time only to get xp
Is there a lot of visual distinct armor or will I run into a lot of reskins with different stats?
are those weapons in Bloodborne entirely new weapons or just the same weapons but with different stats?
cause in this game, you just upgrade your weapons to +20 or something and then you put a mod on them to give them some magic abilities.
they got different tiers and you can slot in different gems which in turn are giving a hefty boost to your base damage
actually ... now im really uncertain if you need to be in NG+ to get the beyond normal versions
Hey all, I've just put together a little (or well actually... very long) graphic for new people to the game. I've been pretty excited for this game for a few months now and wanted to make a little something for people just finding out about the game. Just surface level stuff about archetypes, worlds and touch a little on gear. Hope you all like it :)
I'm really excited to see what you do with the OT :) I hope we get a bit of a community for the game growing in the OT, as it looks awesome to me. I can't wait to play it this weekend.
I'm really interested in the game. I was waiting for Darksiders 3 to be about Strife since I would love to see how they would make Hack'n'Slash mechanics with a gunman (Is this the right word?). This game looks to me like the closest thing to that and probably as a reference point for them for a Darksiders 4? (I'm finishing Darksiders 3 these days).
PD: Also would love to see how the game runs with Steam Proton. Darksiders 3 runs good enough, but could be better. Hoping some Linux users can get their hands on that beta or something...

Hm...I'm curious though pessimistic about the longevity and content. Also the loot. Will it make me want to come back? Why is it a looter shooter aside from simply a Left for Dead esque game? What makes the rush for better loot worth it?
i mean there is loot but its not a pure shooter looter
armors got unique perks / resistances as well as set bonuses, weapons got their own signature skill and you need to down some bosses to get specific craft materials. Since bosses are randomly generated, you wont necessarily get what you need in one campaign's run. Also you need to level up traits which I assume is the main draw of higher difficulties since you get more xp by running those
I'm guessing the main appeal is to get everything available and level all the traits of all the characters, as of now
more content is scheduled down the line, expansions etc so they'll surely flesh it out on the go which is not unusual in that genre
But my question is what do you "need" the loot for? I feel like this is a Left for Dead-type game dressed up as a Looter Shooter. Which is fine, but might not be what I was looking for.
Like with every game like this you use the loot to kill new enemies with and get new loot. You also can change your playstyle up a bit with the loot. Most people will probably beat the campaign in co-op a few times to see some bosses and then shelf it
its an action rpg with higher difficulties, and level based everything ?
like there are actual resistances, elite monsters and whatnot
Oh hey thanks for letting me know lol, I will let one of the guys know who was not super interested and is instead looking forward to Borderlands 3 more.
Good. I'm still not 100% just yet. Need to see more. I need to see more "oomph" from the game.
Besides it still not being available on 'EU' PSN anymore (I know they 'are aware and looking into it'), on US/CA PSN it's now only possible to 'Add to Wishlist'. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1980-CUSA10507_00-REMNANT000000001
Also the official site now shows "PlayStation ®4 (Coming Soon).

I wonder if it's a late money hat from MS for timed exclusivity that's gonna drop at GamesCom. If so I'll be pissed. I actually managed to pre-order the PS4 version in the window you could....
