What. Like as in a remake of the original? I never even beat it but with it being deck verified now, I probably will play it again. I wonder if I can import my old characters somehow…
I do like the combat and atmosphere but that’s about all the videos showed and I can’t be impressed by that. Only combat and atmosphere is not a reason to play a game. There needs to be a purpose and I didn’t see that.
For example in Vintage story survival is the purpose to play the game. You need to go out and find food or you’re going to starve. You need to build farms because the vicinity of your base will eventually run out of easy to access food sources and you’ll starve. You need to build storage pots because your food can spoil and go to waste. You need to build a cellar because you need to store food for the winter. In Vintage story you go exploring because you have a reason to explore. There is always something to do and getting to the point where you actually have nothing to improve is like hundreds of hours away.
That is what was kinda missing from Minecraft. Once you’re past surviving the reasons to explore drastically drop off. And based on this video it seems like Hytale will run into the same issue as Minecraft. You end up with a nice looking world and interesting combat but with very little reason to go explore or fight.
Combat and movement look fun and satisfying, graphics look amazing. So many moody areas, from gritty snowscape to colorful caves. Mojang could learn a thing or five from this trailer.
I do hope there will be more breadth of gameplay especially on the creative side so those promising exploration mechanics do not feel stale after a few hours of running around and blasting skeletons. That’s one thing mojang does get right, if anything they have too much breadth and not enough depth.
Not sure about the ease of movement when scaling multiple blocks. Figuring it how to get from point A to point B with the limited movement options is a core part of most Minecraft gameplay loops, especially when caving and/or fighting. Seems they made up for it with good fighting mechanics, but they will have to make up for it in the other gameplay loops as well.
Either way I wish them the best and hope they light a fucking fire underneath mojang’s ass.
EDIT:
This is the original legacy engine from the 2018 trailer, running on a four-year-old build as we push Hytale forward again.
Now hold the fuck up. What do you mean this is the 2018 engine? What the fuck have they been doing the past 7 years? Did they rewrite a whole new engine for no good reason? It looks fucking beautiful and seems to run great! I’m sure they had their reasons, and I don’t think we can draw accurate conclusions by speculating, but the insider perspective on the development cycle must be absolutely wild.
EDIT2: Okay their blog post explains quite a bit more. Seems to paint a picture that Riot wanted the engine to be cross-platform (makes sense for consoles) and they could not make it work with a full rewrite away from their otherwise functional Java/C# engine. Kind of a crazy play on Riot’s part to make Java/C# devs and former minecraft modders write a modern game engine from scratch in C++ if that’s the case. Probably a tough lesson to learn for everyone involved. If only they could learn from an incredibly popular voxel-based building/aventure game that went through the exact same engine rewrite away from a GC VM language and faced similar struggles.
As a PC player, great news that they’re sticking to .NET and Java. It will make modding much easier.
Just play Vintage story at this point. The development of this has been such a dumpster fire in terms of how the project has been handled from a top level from the very beginning that I don‘t have any hopes it will release in a decent state under its new old owner.
This is not true, development has stalled the past few years because Riot demanded they port it to a new engine, which was why it got indefinitely delayed and eventually cancelled
Things were moving well before that. The original developers took back control of the project and are back on track
I just think this is going to be a bit of a mess no matter what way it goes. People have such a different idea of what this game is now based on the riot drive.
& I can't help but think that's kinda the point of buying it, because you only need to sell it in one burst of hype to make a quick buck, look at cube world for example.
Also the game has been sold off once, if someone like M$ came knocking, even just to kill it, you think if he makes a huge profit off the purchase, he'll say no?
I think a lot of people have been waiting for this & the hype around it is just going to lead to disappointment.
Happy about this. Been checking it every few months since it was announced, and the cancellation felt really shitty. It seems like it will be playable by the end of the year!
Look up the news from the past day or 2, it’s actually much more interesting than that!
The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they’re back developing it.
Still no controller support though :( I can’t play with KB/M and it just doesn’t work well with remapped buttons to a controller via steam. Really hope it gets added, have wanted to play it for a long time.
Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.
And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!
"New low, bundled price: Guild Wars Reforged brings Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall together for just £17.99. If you have purchased even one of the three campaigns, all of them will be unlocked through Guild Wars Reforged. And, of course, there are still no subscription fees. "
What does this mean? I bought guildwars 1 forever ago. Does this mean I don’t have to pay for it?
Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.
I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.
I was always disappointed that they bound the skillbar to weapon types and removed secondary professions in GW2. The possibilities for character builds were virtually endless in GW1’s system, and you could make your character really feel like your own. I did play GW2 for a while, and it was fun in its own ways, but the original still holds much more nostalgia for me.
GW2 works surprisingly well on controller. I’ve been playing that way since launch, first with Xpadder and now with the Steam controller mappings. Inventory management and crafting are the only regular things I switch back to mouse and keyboard for.
