At first I thought, “Oh cool, they’re showing what the game used to look like before they reveal the new graphics.” But that is what the game looks like…? I mean, the before and after comparison footage looks completely identical, doesn’t it? It’s October 1st, not April. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I went to watch the video with very low expectation after your comments and yet I was still really disappointed. It looks worse than the original to me, because it lost that early 3D look due to higher res textures here and there and now it’s just hideous.
Well, this class overhaul is one of the biggest things they’ll have done. Crafting is in and helps a lot. They’ve also worked out most of the bugs, and if i remember correctly, you can play solo now?
On a different note I just watched a very similar video that was recommended to me by a pretty much unknown creator about the importance of indie developers and pretty much everything Alanah says here shows how important they really are. To imagine where we would be without tiny indies breaking the mold… it sends a shudder down my spine. ‘Indies > AAA’ has been my way to go for many years, now that I think about it.
will anybody think of the C-suite!!! How will they be able to face their other rich friends if they don’t wage-steal to ensure they hit record profits quarter after quarter???
I was initially interested in the original, but the studio’s transphobic, misogynist, and homophobic “jokes” both within their games and their communities pretty quickly dissuaded me.
[Edit] it sounds like this has a new team behind it, so possibly disregard the above

I was not aware of that. I’m not the biggest fan of the Build engine, so I was never anything more than barely aware that the game exists. I’ve skimmed over en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Fury#Controversy a bit after your comment. I agree with you. Had I’ve been initially interested in the original, such “jokes” would have put me off as well.

The successor is done by a different studio (Slipgate Ironworks, who are also doing the RTS Tempest Rising). The original team (Voidpoint) works on the expansion for the first game. I hope Slipgate isn’t using Voidpoint’s “joke” template.
The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is removing CSGO from steam. Especially when CSGO had more features, it’s just a weird move. Why is Valve copying blizzard?
Also, the CSGO reviews now show up under CS2? Is it a new game or not? They shouldn’t be able to have it both ways.
