Watch some preview videos maybe then.
Surely they can't fabricate evidence in them for whatever reason.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I would be very surprised if there isn't at least a Performance mode

I'm a dumbass. I've been following this for a bit and just watched previews excitedly until I realized this is Xbox only and alas...I do not own an Xbox.

So what's the TL;DR on this? I don't have time to watch all these videos right now. Is it shit?

I did. Thats what my second post on this topic was about. I saw nothing Arkane in the videos, nothing i havent seen in any other open world game like Far Cry. Nothing innovative, nothing new, nothing interesting. Oh right, we fight vampires with powers, awesome..i guess.

The fact that they're removing the always online requirement is awesome. Dunno how hard they had to figut for it but it's great news in the long run.

Do you like playing FPS where it seems like the enemy scripts have been turned off, and they just stand still to die from one headshot, and you have abilities that aimbot for you? If so, it looks great.

I believe it is running on Unreal Engine 5.

"Apolitical"
Then rambles on about a subset of political activism. Which 90% of Western games have.

It's also on PC.

In the first video they walk into a place called House of Echoes which looks very Arkaney. Seems like the interesting stuff is underneath the sort of suburban surface.
Was Harvey claiming to be apolitical?

The point seems to be that most games pretend to be apolitical but Harvey Smith does the opposite and 100% owns it.

Watched Jack Frags preview and I was actually quite surprised. The official trailers have done nothing for me but previews so far are more positive for me. Keeping my eyes peeled on this one.

No, I am commenting on where he said "Most AAA studios" ... none claim this. Most games have political angles in them, outside of maybe Eastern ones still.
I should have worded it better, my comment was that most AAA studios have shoehorned politics, this being no different than the rest.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Based off deathloop and prey redfall is a major must play.

That was also present in the last Wolfenstein game with the two chicks. It was co-made with Arkane and they designed the levels afair and we know how that turned out. You'd think a combination of great level design makers and great shooting designers working toghether would make the perfect coop shooter right? Yeah...Sorry, but but this aint clicking with me at all. Like I said, I will still play it eventually but doubt I'll be impressed.

Fuck telemetry. Leave it as an opt-in option, don't force on it on us all.

I see you in a lot of threads and you've got to be the most negative person on here lmao
Then the second bit around Harvey's comments is irrelevant

It's redundant. Everything is political nowadays, this is no more special because he wears it on his sleeve. Speaking about the Twitter guy making a "big deal, go comrade, go," not Harvey.

76-81 metacritic prediction. Why couldn't Arkane just make Prey 2? I don't need more looters shooters

Exactly why I don't even bother looking at previews, its all marketing.
Might as well wait for the final reviews because previews can be very misleading.

I'm quietly confident that this is going to be pretty good.
Surprised how much energy people around here have to shit on things they were never going to play under any circumstance. Really drags the place down.

Ok, I feel convinced that I am going to love this. Looks awesome!

Excellent news that Arkane has figured out people don’t want SP games tied to an internet required setting. Maybe just maybe they saw the backlash from people and decided to do this. Either way no SP game should require an online connection imo. Once the server support is pulled you lose the game.

Cause hardly anyone bought it.

Any chance the steam version signs you into an Xbox account and I can have cross platform progression...that would be amazing!
Hopefully all Microsoft games allow this.....Then I can play wherever I want with the same account.

They seem to be going further and further away from what i want personally from them. I really liked dishonored 1 and 2. I thought prey had an amazing environment (the station was very good) but the enemies were all samey , didn't like the constant respawns (in the end i just run through them) and stealth wasn't really a viable path. Deathloop was even worst in some aspect (the shooting was bad and they forgot to actually put the story in the 3rd act). This seems even further from the immersive sim the dishonored games were.
Can't blame them though since no one bought those games.

True. It sucks development cycles begin immediately after release. Prey 2 would of been greenlit in 2020 imo, it just took gamers longer to discover Prey. Prey 2 on Gamepass would of crushed just due to word of mouth

Never seen a bad Arkane game so I think this will be at least good.
Even after reading the two previews I’m not clear exactly how the gameplay works and how loot factors into it. Also seems like the previews were all single player?

Really? No farcry games at all? Guess it's not that weird since the only COD I've played is modern warfare 2 on ps3.
Don't know about deathloop but prey is awesome. Just on that game alone I'm gonna check it out. I'd give it a go punished. Maybe it's just my excitement cause I just got an S but a semi tactical faster shooter sounds fun.
