this had to have been some kind of "get it out in Q2 so it won't sour the Q3 starfield earnings" situation, right

Holy poo poo this is embarrassingly terrible.

Like I feel bad for the rank and file devs, because noone goes out to make a bad game, but this is loving atrocious.

it's likely a combination of managerial incompetence and trying to get a team unfamiliar with both UE4 and cooperative multiplayer to create an UE4-driven cooperative multiplayer title. it's hard to think of a better way to set yourself up for failure

there's an outline of a fun game there, but everything still feels so much like an early beta test that i seriously cannot see it ever approaching a state beyond "functional", especially since it's neither a big name IP nor some massively hyped launch like CP2077 that would demand the support. it's always such a goddamn shame seeing so much human effort being flushed down the drain

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
If you want to give the game the benefit of the doubt, that could be an external fov edit beyond what the game permits.

Original cut or Special Edition? :shobon:

I really appreciate some of the improvements the special cut made in terms of cleaning up some graphical stuff, I just wish they hadn't stuffed every other frame with a Jawa going,"WOOTINI!" and giant lizard monsters going,"RAHHWWHHHGGG!?!?!"

The model composite shots for the big space battle (and especially the assault run) in that film are probably as sophisticated as that particular sfx technique ever got and imo they make contemporary CGI look toothless by comparison. Must've been extremely painstaking work.

it apparently made gangbusters money for a loving 1983 rerelease, too, so i'd expect them to follow along with the others at some point

my stupid time travel wish has always been to go back in time to either a release night screening of the empire strikes back or alien just to see an audience explode in a way that i think is hard to really get in a media-saturated world

The closest I think I've ever managed was Fury Road on release night. Incredible energy, people were just losing their minds.

One of the things that is so strange about Redfall is that you get a gorgeous and atmospheric scene with tons of well done RTX stuff one minute and then 30 secs later you are talking to a major character that looks like it's from a Xbox 360 game.
The whole game is just odd, it's so cheap and expensive looking at the same time and i don't really "get" the gameplay loop. Like what is supposed to be the draw here?

i saw two towers release night and it was loving magical, the one and only midnight release i've ever been to. had real tears in my eyes at the last march of the ents

only other two films i can remember really, truly wowing me was an imax avatar trip, and, of all things, a limited release theater run of rebuild of eva 3.33 with the original dub. probably one of the strangest moviegoing experiences i've ever had, being deeply moved by the gorgeous painterly quality of the work on display while me, a grown rear end man, was sat next to like 4 teens cosplaying the main cast

Showgunners review

Take XCom style game play. Add the Running Man kill or be killed dystopia, and shake vigorously.. and..

Add in a couple of plot twists including the death of one of your teammates in a way you can't stop, that isn't really signposted, and a bit of Death Race 2000 (the David Carradine original) reason your character is in this lethal game show

It's not going to have a TON of replay value, unless I want to try different builds, go for 100% in finding optional battle areas/loot crates/autographs to sign, but it's definitely worth $30.

I've run into a variety of enemies so far (all dolled up appropriately) in the in-universe game show "Homicidal All-Stars" (which this game used to be named)

SCUM: The base unit type. Give a death row convict a gun, and tell them if they kill the "challenger" they get their sentence commuted. Not quite mooks, but mid game, you'll be one-shotting them.
RONIN: Give SCUM a katana, and a tendency to unsheath it and look menacing (before you fill them with lead)
MUERTA: Her hits can poison you, or heal other Scum. Annoying
DRONE MONK: Summons Attack Drones. The Attack Drones can do some serious damage, but the Drone Monks themselves can die in two-three hits, and when they die the drones go with them. Focus Fire, but not super dangerous.
OGRE: Give a SCUM a perfectly balanced amount of steroids and battle drugs. They hit hard, and can regenerate. Don't let them get close.

Your "Challengers"/Heroes, with a bit of spoiler information:

Scarlett: The Main Character. she's in this to get at the game's champion defender, Ulysses, who prior to his capture killed Scarlett's family. She quit being a cop, and changed identities to become a bounty hunter, then join Homicidal All-Stars to get a crack at Ulysess, AND the producer behind the game show)

Marty: A returning former champion. A former Homicidal All-Stars (HAS) champion, who came back on the show after bad investments meant that his prize money was all gone. You will rely on him, but he gets murked by Ulysses a couple missions in. Don't buy weapons for him, or do so because he's good, but know that you're going to have to sell them when he dies

Tybalt: A former hacker trying to commute his sentence in HAS. Able to use holographics to change his appearance and that of others. One of his abilities swaps visages with an enemy, meaning the enemy will treat Tybalt as a friendly, and the enemy he swapped visages with as someone to be shot. He's in HAS because he was a CI for the cops, who embezzled funds to pay him, and framed him when the fiddling was discovered. Only sentenced to two years in jail, but since it was known he was a CI for the cops, he volunteered for HAS rather than get shivved in prison

Warden: A Mech that you can "win" the use of during the show. It's almost a given at some point the Warden will be turned on you, although it hasn't happened yet

Most of the game is set in two modes, Exploration (where you search for additional loot, deal with traps, puzzles and the like) and combat. Great set-piece battles (for example, you fight in an old train station. During the battle, trains will rush through the tracks, killing anyone on them. Thankfully, you get a one turn warning, the baddies don't (or don't care))

The game is crying out for Create-a-Challenger and Create-a-Episode modes where you build areas and combat. It does have Twitch Mode, where streamers can play the game, and their chat can help or hinder them. Made for streaming.
