Yeah some of the animations look a little unpolished, and they left just enough frames in that you can see the revolver doesn’t move at all when it’s fired, just a little smoke cloud clips through his hand.
Todd Howard? Wasn’t expecting that. Anywho, looks like this’ll mainly be in 1st person? That’s kinda neat actually, I don’t think we’ve had a 1st person Indy before.
Machine Games are pretty well known for their first person shooters (they made the modern Wolfenstein games), so it is kinda reassuring they're sticking to first person, even if they're clearly not going for a Wolfenstein feel.
After looking at a YouTube review that really went in as to what changed, I can honestly say it’s nothing relevant from our perspective… they compared the fps rates, which were exactly the same, and compared the resolutions it plays at which is also the same. They compared graphics and only seemed to find very slight differences in some foliage and shadows.
So this absolutely seems like a cash grab. I think you get some added modes or content, which is nice, but how or why would you call it a remake?
The only thing for me which is a notable improvement is the loading times. But when I’m playing through such a long game, what’s another 50-60 seconds? Nice to have, sure, but not making me hand over cash to upgrade.
Honestly, it's refreshing to see someone actually brainstorm solutions to these problems rather than just telling people to get mad. It's a long shot but a legal win in any major market could see business practices start to change. Like when the EU revamped its privacy laws and suddenly every website gives you the option to reject some of their tracking cookies. Or whatever the impact of China's new regulations on spending in games actually ends up being. It's worth the effort at the very least.
I was going to be all over this, especially as having the original PS4 disc edition gets me a cheap upgrade. But after watching the Digital Foundry video, I don’t think it’s actually worth it. Unless you really want the bonus material, get the original cheap and let it apply the PS5 patch.
Everything I’ve seen so far of this game just looks so…OK. The graphics are pretty, but that’s the least important part in an RPG for me. I really want this game to be good, I loved Pillars of Eternity and while this isn’t a sequel, it’s still set in the same world. I agree with the common opinion that the combat looks pretty weak, none of the attacks had any impact. I hope they surprise me, but so far this gives me a “pick up on sale for 20$ or less” feeling.
