Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.

Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.

Vodulas,

You mean in 2017 like the article pointed out. And maybe there should have been backlash for it. It was a shitty thing to do then, and an even worse thing to do now

There are more important things to get angry over. Getting angry over hats is just tribalism.

Natanael,

When the tribe which they’re appealing to is a death cult with a huge body count then that’s just being reasonable

Are hats your main issue with them? I don’t like organised religion but tend to focus on other things than their silly hats even though they are even sillier than MAGA ones.

mosiacmango,

Motherfucker decided to come out as MAGA on a global stage while journalists and protestors were being shot by rubber bullets and tear gassed just miles away. He was in range of the predator drones flying over head in a US city, and where Marines were illegally deployed to US soil for the first time in hundreds of years.

But nah dog, just ignore all that and play the game, the game that clearly supports all that. Cause focusing on what the dev clearly supports is not allowed for some reason because he wore it on a hat.

Vodulas,

Ah yes, getting angry over someone appealing to fascists is just tribalism. My bad

Yes. Attack opinions, not accessories. It’s much more productive, unless your point was making politics into a football match.

I was instance banned for trying to reason that we should talk about policy rather than hats when talking about politics.

This wasn’t intended to be ban evasion as I do not intend to return. Goodbye beehaw people, I guess it wasn’t a safe space for autistic people XD

apotheotic,

“I guess it wasn’t a safe space for autistic people” is an insane takeaway from being temp banned for talking about people fucking their mothers and how people downvoting you arouses you (on a thread about not using a right wing hate symbol).

As an autistic person I’m baffled you’d try to hide behind your neurodivergence here.

Such a pointless thing to do which puts a massive target on your back for no reason. Backlash is deserved and maybe he learned something

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Squizzy,

Gadgets man, I am picturing zipwire scene, paragliding, hopefully non quick time event action. The gadgets in Hitman were great for their role but there is a fantastical element to be pushed for 007

I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

sp3ctr4l, (edited )

Nightfire was ludicrous.

As a kid, my neighbors and I would give everyone the Q claw, which is functionally a near infinite range, attaches to almost any surface, grapple hook.

If you hold the button, you can remain suspended/attached… basically where ever.

So, we would go with … i forget the name, but some twiglight setting, older european town style map…

… and we would just all be zipping around like goddamn spiderman, because you can move so much faster with the q claw than by running…

… that, or camping in some absurd nook of the map, sniping people from a location that takes 45 seconds of insane platforming to get to.

Nightfire had a goofy as fuck main story mode, but the multiplayer was underrated, may even count as ‘hidden gem’ status, imo.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Close! That was Agent Under Fire, not Nightfire. It’s one of my favorite multiplayer shooters, specifically with nonsense like the Q Claw, Q Jet, and moon gravity turned on. Nightfire really pared back on the stuff that made Agent Under Fire ridiculous, and it was good for different reasons.

sp3ctr4l,

Ah crap, got my GC 007’s mixed up!

I am glad Im not the only one that enjoyed the absolute lunacy enabled by some of AoF’s gamemodes, lol.

i would like to see social spy craft stuff too. Dynamic dialog, interrogation, casino games, seducing NPcs etc

gwheel,

I’m expecting the biggest difference to be a removal or de emphasizing of the disguise system. Disguises are a core hitman mechanic but Bond very rarely uses them. (unless I’m forgetting stuff, and I haven’t seen all of the movies) I’m not sure what would fill the gameplay void left by them, vehicles could do it if handled well.

Squizzy,

Expand out the detective element, eavesdropping, tailing, building evidence. There are seeds to some of this in Hitmam but it would make sense in 007.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

And hopefully they do away with those unlocks being tied to a server of theirs.

Squizzy,

100% I will pirate this game if it has any of that always connected shit.

Its a full price purchase otherwise, the three hitman games I was happy to support given their studio position at the time but they are not getting any leeway this time.

do you really need all new voice recordings for a remake? unless they were horrible quality i don’t see the point.

meejle,
@meejle@lemmy.world avatar

There’ll almost certainly be new/expanded and altered dialogue.

I’m intrigued to see whether they’ll try to rework any of the more ‘problematic’ stuff, now that Katsura Hashino (P3–P5 director) has left. Or go for a truer-to-the-Japanese-version Teddy this time.

Ashtear,

Are you saying that Hashino himself was responsible for the problematic content, or that he would have stood in the way of revising it?

Daggity,

That’s interesting insight with the translation. It reminds me of the translation for ff8 not capturing the spirit of the original writing.

shani66,

Huh, that makes me wonder if p5 has any actual translation errors. Most of the stuff i saw when it released was bitter localizer complaining about good choices, so i just assumed there was nothing real to complain about.

dabe,

I mean, that helps justify buying the game again. Fresh performances, possibly with tweaks or new content.

I’ll spin it around: why would you buy the game a second time if it just used all the same files?

I find lack of multiplayer to be an improvement.

@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I’m not a huge Elden Ring guy, haven’t even played the DLC yet, but watching a streamer play Nightreign, I kinda wanna try it myself, even with these problems.

My friends aren’t into these types of games anyway, so it always would’ve with randoms (solo supposedly isn’t that good).

whostosay,

I have two friends and we’ve all be playing the souls games on and off for about 10 years, this game is hard and pretty different. It may just take getting used to, but without comms, it was rough random queuing. Us 3 in discord made significantly more progress, but it was absolutely a great time.

cccrontab,

Same here. Elden Ring was my first souls game. I would never have beat it without the seamless co-op mod. I just don’t have skill, time and patience for it.

Night Reign seems to me like an arcade version of Elden Ring. It forces you to move faster and make snap decisions (that blue flame closes in fast!). We got to Day 2 last night but I could see us pouring lots of hours into it.

whostosay,

Yeah that death wall needs to slow down a little, either in when it first comes out, or just the speed of it. Once in, you’re not coming out with any heals at all if you even make it.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Different is good. I’m not a FromSoft-gamer. Elden Ring is the only game of theirs I really ever got into (and it’s not for lack of trying), so I don’t really care it’s not the same game again.

Also, you’re right, what I’ve seen doesn’t look easy, and no real communication at all is a bummer (only set a marker or jump and crouch in front of something), but it still looks like fun.

FooBarrington,

The map pinging has been sufficient communication for me. Other players can “confirm” your pings, which is a great way to show they agree.

darthelmet, do games w Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat

I wasn’t planning to get the game because of the 3 player thing but I already knew that… why are people buying it then getting mad about it? Is the steam store page just not clear enough about it? In which case, fair.

Baggie,

I don’t think it’s obtuse or anything, this stuff isn’t hard to find out before buying. I think it’s probably closer to people being afraid of fromsoft doing something different, but don’t have words to articulate it, so they express it in other ways.

Eggyhead,

I wouldn’t hold it against them. You and I are in a place where we know the value in looking this stuff up, and we know the industry. There are a lot more people out there who don’t, and others who still haven’t made the mistake they need to in order to learn it.

Baggie,

Oh for sure, I don’t think less of people for these kind of situations. More at the state where it’s unfortunate but also interesting. We keep seeing these situations happen with varying amounts of justification from people, it’s interesting to try to understand what’s happening.

@chameleon@fedia.io avatar

The store page is kinda confusing. I don't think the line "Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring 3-player co-op." along with both singleplayer and co-op listed as valid playing styles is something most reasonable people would interpret the way that it really is: be exactly 3 players with external voice chat available because all other ways of playing the game will suck hard.

They've been sorta honest about that in interviews and such but those don't have the same reach as their huge marketing campaign.

JakenVeina, do games w Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat

I don’t see the game getting either of those things.

Duos, you can already do, you just have to take on a rando as a third. They could scale the difficulty down for 2 players, sure, but Elden Ring’s mutiplayer scaling is notoriously terrible, in part because no amount of scaling can account for the lost potential for splitting aggro, in a game where splitting aggro is king.

Voice chat is something that FromSoft has INTENTIONALLY never included in any prior game, despite there being co-op in all of them. Making players coordinate with each other with very limited communication tools is one of FromSoft’s signature design choices. The fast pace of this game compared to prior games makes the lack of communication tools hurt a lot more, for sure, but it’s still very much playable. Anyone who dislikes this design choice is absolutely free to, but it’s not gonna change.

simple,

They said there will be a duos mode in a future update. I’m with you on voice chat, it doesn’t seem like it would ever be added.
