They sold off a bunch of very popular game franchises (except maybe by SE standards) to fund this NFT garbage. Since the president can't admit he screwed up, they are going to waste a bunch of money on it and then quietly kill it.

Let's not forget that the series probably would still be continuing to do it was all a dream twists if people didn't push back hard against it.

IT BURNS posted:The Devil In Me trip report: It really doesn't do anything with the saw vibe, except for one or two scenes. otherwise its just a generic slasher villain going around killing people. Also, how the heck can a FBI agent afford to build not just one, but two murder mansions. I think this game really suffered from Supermassive Games working on the Quarry at the same time.

Basic Chunnel posted:About the only publisher that hasn’t retreated on NFTs is Square Enix, though afaik none of them have explicitly foreclosed on ever trying to go back to that well (save maybe the STALKER 2 folks) The president of Square Enix went in really hard on it, to the point of selling a bunch of valuable IPs to fund the endeavor. They can't abandon it because that would basically be him admitting he really hosed up badly. Also, I don't think there are other developers still working on it, except for maybe a few random companies run by idiots. The market has collapsed.

Also, I can imagine team Bloober backing away from the more extreme stuff like the Abstract Daddy. Like they'll keep the backstory, but the design will be dialed down.

Shastahanshah posted:Has anyone played Bone Totem, and have thoughts on it? I'm assuming you are talking about this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B17yJUXboe0. He is going to do the sequel as his next video. Stasis Bone Totem is really good, and it doesn't have the kickstarter jank the first game has. Most of the puzzles are pretty logical, but sometimes it can be unclear which of the three playable characters you can make progress with. I think the setting is pretty interesting. Although there is one aspect of it which is a bit stupid. It also has some really great and memorable characters in it too.

Sinner Sandwich posted:I feel crazy, but Paranormasight was a huge letdown for me. The opening with the narrator is so good, you go through the entire tutorial story, they give you the fakeout-reverse fakeout of the original protagonist's death, and then it... just never really feels like it goes anywhere? Everything is really flimsy and the characters always feel too two-dimensional, like someone's very briskly describing to me much more interesting, three-dimensional characters. The whole confrontation at the end between the detective and his daughter felt like an anticlimax that was treating itself as if it stuck the landing. Then the actual reveal and resolution comes at so breakneck a speed that it also felt rushed. I love the ideas presented, but the total thing felt like an alpha of a VN that I would consider a personal favorite when the full thing comes out. I liked it, but I do agree the true ending was a bit weak, but not enough to drag the down the entire game. Honestly, I think the penultimate ending would be the better ending if a few loose ends were tied up. I'm not a big fan of pretty much everything that happened being undone due to time travel shenanigans. Also the game says the rite of resurrection isn't real, but Harue Shigima's ending contradicts that. Also the chairwoman of Hihaku soaps never actually shows up.

Nuebot posted:I love silent hill 2 but god drat did it ruin the franchise forever by being good and thus ensuring everyone forever more would just copy its various iconic bits. It didn't just ruin the franchise, its had a large negative impact on the whole genre due to all the imitators. But at least its not bad as PT, which turned looping hallway into an entire genre of game.

Vookatos posted:That World of Horror trailer is so good, I wish it was more of a straightforward point-and-click game. I think the thing really dragging it down is the randomized content, especially since its a mystery game. Its just a bunch of random horror scenes shoved together.

The enemies in Ghostwire Tokyo were all massive bullet sponges, which made the game not fun at all. I felt like the open world stuff dragged it down. A more linear experience would've probably worked better in my opinion.

So yeah Slay the Princess is really short too. Its only 45 minutes to reach the "true" ending. A bit short for $16. Maybe there is a lot more content hidden away in branching paths, but I don't think that is the case.

The Colonel posted:stuff I think the fundamental issue is that a game being in the silent hill setting adds nothing of value and just drags the game down. Silent Hill 4 the room would have probably worked better if it wasn't associated with Silent Hill (which it wasn't even intended to be at the start). Maybe the Kojima Silent Hill would have breathed some life into the franchise, but it literally had a couple of the biggest names in horror with the project, along with the developer of one of the most popular game franchises of all time working on it.

Basic Chunnel posted:The flip side of that coin is that, as pointed out here and elsewhere, it got very difficult to make money off indie horror games, esp walking sims, as they were typically short enough for streams to cover their entirety, so that people watching didn’t see the point in buying their own copies. Also Steam’s return policy meaning that you could beat a game and still be able to send it back for a refund. I think another issue is the market is absolutely flooded with them, a lot of them with a similar aesthetic, so none of them stand out.

TheWorldsaStage posted:I fuckin' wish network TV would have interesting poo poo like Control on There was the Lost Room miniseries, sadly nobody watched it so it never became a full series even though the story left an opening for it. I played SCP Secret Files last night. Neat short game that has short self-contained segments about 5 SCPs. The gameplay is pretty simple, but it has a nice presentation and each segment has its own style. I believe there was plans to have more segments, but unfortunately the company is defunct. Oh, and it doesn't resort to jump scares at all.

Morpheus posted:I'm currently watching a video about Raging Loop, and I'm wondering if I should stop and play the game myself - part of me is interested in it, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that the game isn't very good (especially since the video's title calls it a hot mess). A lot of people really enjoy it and I enjoyed most of it too, but I found the ending to be really sloppy which really turned me off the whole thing. The so called "rational" explanation is even more ridiculous than if the entire thing was supernatural. Also there is a time loop going on, so the supernatural demonstrably exists in the setting. Apparently, some things are explained in the bonus content, but the main story should stand on its own.

discworld is all I read posted:There's quite a bit to Clocktower that's random, even for the SNES it was pretty impressive to have a perpetual enemy chasing you around from screen to screen or where it might decide to show up being somewhat random (or at least giving that impression). Also I think the game will try to give you the benefit of the doubt when you first try to hide in a location or use a spot to avoid Scissorman, but you can't keep relying on the same spot or setup as the next time (there really is a finite amount of safe places you can get to reasonably, at least I don't recall any traps or places you could continually use). There is also the remaster coming out, and probably soon too.
