I keep going back and forth on this game on how much I want it to resemble the original. If it’s too close it might not feel I’m playing a new game, but I also don’t want it to be so different that it loses what I enjoyed so much about the first one.
I think that’s the issue with this “janky” games. There are obvious problems with the game, but it’s very easy to lose the positives when you are attempting to smooth out the rough edges.
Another Embracer casualty. It's crazy how studios are getting gutted left and right because a single business deal fell through. I wonder how many studios Embracer is going to shut down before they finally finish "restructuring"?
I think it's way beyond that business deal by now. They're not responsible for the layoffs at Sony, Microsoft, EA, or Epic, after all. Something ended the money party that everyone in the industry staffed up for, and that something might be inflation reducing consumer spending, the crypto crash, higher interest rates making borrowing money more expensive, something else entirely, or a little bit of all of that.
Personally, I haven't seen an FPS made for me in a long time, so I was betting on a new TimeSplitters being it. The last two FPS campaigns I was into were Half-Life: Alyx in 2020 and Titanfall 2 in 2016. Those are slim pickings over a long timespan while the rest of the genre focused on live service garbage (though, to be fair, I still have yet to play Wolfenstein II). If that new Perfect Dark happens, I'm betting Microsoft spends $400M turning it into an extraction shooter multiplayer with a modern Call of Duty campaign, neither of which is what I want. TimeSplitters was likely only going to happen on a shoestring budget that couldn't afford to turn into the kind of game I don't want it to be, lol.
I personally haven't seen a FPS be unique or engaging since the last Bioshock... and before that was maybe the first Bioshock or FEAR lol
The MiLiTaRy Is CoOL vibe from COD, Battlefront and Halo never appealed to me, but Halo Combat Evolved on PC and Halo 3's multiplayer was at least fun.
It’s hard to imagine “tense” action with how goofy the enemies act, so I guess the second option sounds better? I’ve never played Max Payne 3 or Uncharted 4, so I don’t really know exactly what you mean.
it sucks having to wait on get it on PC. I want to be optimistic and say it gives them time to fix bugs but so far no delayed PC release I know of has ever done that or at least hasn’t introduced new issues when porting it over
Finally. The first one, I waited and waited for it to get PC port before I played it. When Forbidden West came out, I traded a smart watch for a ps4 pro, got FW from Gamefly, finished the game, and then immediately resold the ps4. Been waiting for it to come to PC so I can finally buy it on Steam.
