Re: Yes, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Is a Paid Expansion, Makes Headlines for Some Reason

Athrum

I usually don't defend game companies (all of them, and I repeat ALL are after your money, I mean this is business, not charity), but for the people that forgot are are the free DLC for Witcher 3:
Temerian Armor Set
Beard and Hairstyle Set
New Quest - 'Contract: Missing Miners'
Alternative Look for Yennefer
Nilfgaardian Armor Set
Elite Crossbow Set
New Quest - 'Fool's Gold'
Ballad Heroes' Neutral Gwent Card Set
New Quest - 'Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear'
Alternative Look for Triss
New Quest - 'Contract: Skellige's Most Wanted'
Skellige Armor Set
Alternative Look for Ciri
New Quest - 'Where the Cat and Wolf Play...'
New Finisher Animations
NEW GAME +.

so, hardly anything to write home about. Both the expansions (which is what Phantom Liberty is) cost 20€ (40 if you bought the physical editions with the gwent decks), so I hardly see a difference between the 2 games.

Re: Project The Perceiver Is Equal Parts Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro in Epic Debut

Wait a sec.....just copying over my comment from Arad Chronicle here......juuuuuust about now...There we go

"Another Korean game that looks too good to be true. I'm still waiting for most of these games to actually come out/be good. So far we got Bright Memory from a Chinese dev and that was a glorified tech demo.
Lost Soul Aside, Stellar Blade, Lies of P, Black Wukong, Crimson Desert, they all look gorgeous but none of these has a release date."

Re: Microsoft Claims That Insomniac Developed Marvel's Wolverine Will Launch in 2023

Athrum

@sjbsixpack Because I have a small grasp on how game making works. And sorry if that sounds rude, not trying to be. That game was waaaaaay in concept stage when it was shown to us. Even with Insomniac having 2 teams, the majority of their dev team will be working on Spider-man 2. Plus you won't see 2 Marvel games from the same studio come out close to each other, even if they're different styles.
My guess would be SM2 on the later half of 2023, and this one on late 2024.

Re: Talking Point: We Need to Discuss This Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster

Athrum

The (very dodgy) document is out. Its a remaster, not a remake. So, there's that.
Also, I still don't know why people get upset at this, if you don't like it, don't buy it. You can get the PS4 version for 10 euros.
And if you think that a studio like Guerrila that has....what? 300+ people working there, has everyone working on the remaster, then you really need to learn more about how games are made.

Re: Talking Point: We Need to Discuss This Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster

Athrum

This needs another option for No, because I'm not interested but don't think it is a waste of resources.

First, if you think they're doing this over a sequel for HZFW or DLC you're nuts.
Also I doubt it is a remake, probably more of a remaster, and if you have played or own HZD you're not the target audience.

Not defending Sony here, I don't care about what major corps do, but I keep seeing this discourse everywhere as if this is new in the industry. In the meantime Nintendo keep doing this every single generation and there's not even half the articles/posts/etc about it in most media places or twitter or wtv.
I mean Skyrim just got a new version a couple weeks ago. How many are those now?
