It's a relief the lead writer has familiarized themselves with the lore outside of the game but the remake's engine has me worried. It makes me wonder how well DS's strategic dismemberment system will translate under Frostbite, and the likelihood that it might be abandoned in favor of an easier to implement generic combat system. I think too many people worry about Frostbite and what they think it can and cannot do. The only thing I have heard in the past that Frostbite really wasn't designed for was procedural content everything else is just adding some extra work. Just like with the first game which used the modified engine they used for The Godfather game and got it to work they way they wanted. If they start talking about procedural content that is when I am going to worry. Iirc it was a tweeked sports game engine, plus the remake shouldn't need any procedural generation unless Baptizat succumbs to delusions of grandeur. Basically any potential issues the development team runs into will solely be from incompetence on their end, and not from the engine.

I’m not to worried about the engine myself, dead space isn’t really an rpg or an open world kind of game, and being linear should make it easier to work on than if it was any of the former. It’s really just a third person horror shooter 🤷♀️ Shouldn’t be to complicated to replicate what the original did but with a visual tune up and some improvements to the UI and controls.

Yeah it should be fairly easy to get right as let's not forget one of the best parts of MEA is it's combat and like Dead Space MEA is a third person shooter. Onl ydiffernce is DS is moer of a horror game but that's moer to d owit hthe atmosphere than the actual mechanics.

Big warning sign. But on the other hand.... I have both novels and I can say that Martyr is a decent video game novel tie-in while Catalyst is hit or miss. Credit to her for her recommendations since Martyr and Catalyst capture the atmosphere, plot, and characters of a Dead Space game pretty well despite the former taking place on Earth and under the sea. Sounds like the game will be good.

EA wants Dead Space remake to "remain relevant to modern audiences" www.pcgamesn.com/dead-space/remake-modern-audiences“We are taking the opportunity to also do away with some things that don’t work,” Yazijian explains, “and make sure the game stays relevant to modern audiences.” While the idea of EA making things modern in a Dead Space game raises the spectre of the microtransactions that tarnished the franchise, this seems to be in the spirit of actually improving the gameplay – and will be “done surgically”, according to Yazijian.While I personally don't think EA is that daft to try MTX on a franchise that was literally killed because of MTX and exec meddling, I am also not that confident.

I've read their guidlines - they must have been hit hard by Tzeentch's manipulations to produce such abomination.

Like so many problems this probably started with a suit and a Powerpoint presentation.

Frostpunk 2 has been announced.
I really liked the first game. The music and atmosphere when the last storm hits New London is fantastic. The only paid for DLC I got was Last Autumn, the rest didn't really look that interesting. Overall the base game scenarios seemed the best.
The trailer looks like the new game will have something to do with oil.

Which probably means there isn't enough will in congress to do anything. Lobbyists doing their job probably for other companies that don't want gaming rules altered.

I don't think MTX is what killed Dead Space 3, it was a bad game with or without MTX. It felt like generic FPS with a Dead Space skin which is the worst thing you could do to the franchise. The MTX didn't help don't get me wrong, but I think there were a lot more problems with the game then just the MTX. The "remain relevant" is what frustrates me and why I don't like remakes. Especially when some of the more modern changes are aimed at the people that want open world or games that last 100+ hours otherwise they are bad.

The problem wasn't that there was a shop that you can buy things out of, but that the game was developed with the principal that you would spend money to buy stuff, that you would show off to others, which you would play with and to do that, the fundamentals of the game would have to be changed, to better facilitate that aspect. There are a lot of things, under the hood, that need to be changed, to fit a game with a cash shop. Whether that is consumables or cosmetics.

There are a lot of things, under the hood, that need to be changed, to fit a game with a cash shop. Whether that is consumables or cosmetics. While the MTX system was the reason for things like how the weapon upgrades worked and the crafting system while also potentially changing the inventory system. I would also think the co-op system did the same thing in other areas that I don't think the MTX would have impacted. Now maybe the things that impacted the game negatively for me were impacted more then just the co-op system and I don't see the connections to the MTX or the things that bugged me didn't bug people. At least for my experience and what I can see the co-op and what it impacted the game more negatively.

The image speaks for itself. What do you guys think? Edit: The reddit post it came from. Slim to none changes to being truthful and slim is waiting for its Uber outside. Edit: If this was remotely true it wouldn't be some anonymous person on the internet posting it. There would already be leaks about it happening coming from more well known locations for it would be near impossible to keep this quiet especially with everything happening now. The other big red flag for me is the comments about World of Warcraft and a new MMORPG. That makes zero sense, if they are going to sunset World of Warcraft is highly unbelievable, but to release a new MMO is where I have zero belief. They are too costly to make and the market isn't there anymore its where I believe the genre of looters came into play as a replacement for them. Now I could see Blizzard scaling back the future of Shadowlands, but even then I am skeptical for they are going to want to keep the money they still have coming in. Just because they aren't number 1 at the moment doesn't mean the game is on life support.

We've had leaks before that didn't happen through Schreier, or even covered by him, after the fact. We've had some accurate WoW leaks from 4 chan. The entire plot of Shadowlands leaked from some anonymous poster, about a year before release and nobody believed it, just because it was that bad. Turns out, it was that bad. And I only found it from a twitter post. Just because Schreier didn't cover it, doesn't make it fake. It's probably fake, but I wouldn't discount it entirely.
