Red Faction Guerilla though...
That meme didn't aged well
Man thinking about Crackdown's server tech - i can't help but think about the possibilities beyond physics.
Imagine how many more PvE enemies Warzone could handle and How much more complex their routines could be if the CPU load was being shared across multiple servers.
Well depends on how. The mp designer of gears said, for example, that a character in gears is way heavier than average due to the complex set of animations. This could help.
Kinda off-topic perhaps, but I started playing Fable Anniversary on PC last night. Keep in mind I hadnt played since the original Fable released on Xbox. Man I still love that game so much. It was an RPG that was right up my alley, doesn't try to bog you down with quests while you're doing other quests like Skyrim, Fallout, etc. Has a pretty fun combat system. There's too many games coming out to demand I give each one 100+ hours of my life, so I like that Fable wasn't Skyrim-big.
I can't wait to see what Playground Games does for the inevitable return for the franchise. I have nothing but the highest confidence in that team. A great side-benefit now is that since Microsoft acquired Obsidian and InXile, Playground has two very historic studios to bounce ideas off of in terms of making sure they have great RPG systems and the player agency is as varied/detailed as can be.
Perhaps we could get a remaster of Fable 2(hell, 1&2 please) on Unreal 4 while we wait for the new Fable?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
If their aim is a reboot I wouldn't be confident of a remastered
Whatever they are looking at here - Darrell looks very happy about it ... :D
I whish that in 2019 we had blade runner's tech
Have you played 3? I played 2 and liked it quite a bit. 2 to 3 is one of the biggest improvements I've ever seen in a series though (in pretty much every way). So playing 2 might make you appreciate 3 more.
Depends. On quest and narrative tw3 is way worst than 2, pushing for an ow had its price
The Witcher 1 > The Witcher 2 >>> The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 2 is one of the best RPG of the last decade so if you haven't played it, go.
Yes man
I think it is fair to say that we prob wont see CD4 for a long time.
And if CD does come back, I suspect a reboot is the way to go.
WHY reboot crackdown? What kind of blank space you need?
A 343 guy in one of the last streams, maybe the November one
Why is it that anytime I read an article on The initiative the writers end up saying "they're hiring so they can develop a game like God if war or uncharted" why is the need for them to bring that up..I find it so cringeworthy..The initiative does not have any directive like that from Microsoft..the are supposed to be a pace setting studio..just annoys me how for some all Xbox game studios are supposed to mimic something from different platforms
Say them that they hired the multiplayer lead engineer from Halo and LOL, William Archbell
CD3 being successful on Game Pass alone won't be enough.
It still needs be a viable game at retail as a AAA game.
More importantly, degrees of success matter.
MS spent nearly 5 years develop the game with all manner of obstacles leading to set back after set back. Even if that wasn't the case, it's not enough to be moderate success, it needs to be a clear success that justifies a sequel and further investment in the growth of the franchise.
In that regard, I have doubts CD3 will be successful enough to warrant greenlighting a sequel. Granted, I could be dead wrong about that, but I think it's a reasonable concern.
Quite pessimistically, I don't think CD3 will find a large enough audience and substantial enough success for MS to justify funding a sequel, even if the turn around on that would be far shorter than the development period for this CD3.
Regardless of whether it's CD4 or not, I do think MS will and should continue to working with Sumo Digital.
We don't know which is the break event for greenlight a sequel, but I'm pretty sure that they knows how gamepass works and have realistic expectations
Halo RPG has to be a reality soon right? right?
A halo complete rpg, real rpg, not wathever bethesda or ubisoft are doing, will be a YES for me. Rpg elements in the campaign? Fuck no
If 343 wants to make a Halo RPG, let them, but don't have another studio work on Halo. I would much rather see new ideas and properties than two studios making Halo at the same time, especially with the perception that Halo is getting a bit stale. Reinventing Halo in a new way would help that perception, but not if it's in addition to the regularly scheduled FPS instead of replacing it.
WHY worrying about things like perception of the masses? People were hyped af or a fallout multiplayer experience and hated the idea of a battleroyale titanfall. Those things changes.
Does Crackdown 3 really need a sequel? It's not a prestige name or anything, seems like they'd be better off trying a new IP or something.
Yes, absolutely
I was waiting until the game was in prime form before really giving it a go. How was that DLC that was supposed to make the game harder? One of my initial complaints was the lack of tension I felt because zombies were generally not that threatening unless you let your guard down or got careless.
Yep, difficulty is low if you take care, if you start going leeroy Jenkins game will hit you once you forget to check the character stats.
Thursday is going to be a fun day, because that review thread will be a fucking disaster
its probably going to get 6/10 from most of the major sites. Just glad its the end of the 2013 era game
Immagine if they will greenlight cd4
After FH1 they seemed to completely abandon any attempt at having a "story," unfortunately. Wish they'd work on that more.
Nah that was cringe stuff. Better the over the top and extremely silly situations of fh4
Maybe crackdown 3 just sucks? I know it's hard to consider but the game is going to be mediocre because its mediocre. Out with the old in with the new xbox games
Because I'm a fan of the previous and I know what I want and I convinced that the game will deliver?
SXSW in mid March promises exciting news around The MCC.
Reach, PC port, who knows...
99% it's esport stuff
Sirs, I'd like to put aside all this Metacritic narrative.
Sea of Thieves already proved to be much more successful than what that useless site said.
Thanks
My favorites games of the last three years didn't reached the 80s in Mc.
I think we should accept that there is a lot of area between 'a disaster' and 'GOTY' and a game like Crackdown 3 can perfectly fit in between those. Just like something as Darksiders.
Darksiders 3 is my goty, don't do this to me.
Playing Apex Legends a lot and I cannot help but feel that Halo's movement, Gunplay and TTK would have been the perfect recipe for BR.
I know lot of you will say, here we go, we don't need another Fortnite/PUBG BR clone but if its good and fun, why not? Halo has ALL the ingredients, they even had Warzone which could have been reworked into a BR game.
They have taken the 'Halo keeps following trends' rhetoric to heart which isn't bad advice but not good either. I know Halo Infinite will be amazing but they have 500+ people in the Studio working on 1 game? ( MCC has too few people working on it anywayz)
Jez said he knows of another Halo game in the works at 343 in his podcast with Rand. Could it be the BR game that releases this fall?
When Jez said that? Klobrille found other informations about another halo which turned out to be mcc.
Plus I don't think br will works.
It's a strange market, we have a new hit each year, overwatch, pubg, maybe Apex legends will kill fortnite, who could predict it?
Into my veins
If MS retains the rights to The Outer Worlds, that's an automatic new pillar IP.
Speaking of pillars.
I think an open world Pillars of Eternity game could be even better, and Sawyer has talked about how that's something the Eternity team really would love to do.
With TOW and PoE, MS would basically have its first party Fallout and Elder Scrolls equivalents.
or me and da
Open world Pillars sounds fantastic. It would be Obsidians' equivalent of Dragon Age.
Xbox would have RPGs in practically every major genre, or close enough. This doesn't even count what InXile will be doing for their new.project.
Da never was open world, more like open big areas, which is way better for level design and pacing
Yeah, but they do have validity. Games that score well, sell well and sell the console that they're on and services you need to run it. To say otherwise is just ignorant.
In the same universe of raimbow six siege and fortnite?
Please be horde. I need to blow up minions and bosses from campaign while buildings fall in the background
