Am I the only one who thinks this looks way more interesting than the first game?
>>735150691Literally everyone thinks that.
>Am I the onlyNo.
>>735150691gameplay wise sure but Im a brutalist fag and the main reason I enjoyed the first one were the environments. not sure they can deliver that on a larger scale
>>735150691I'm not having great hopes looking how Remedy and SBI ruined Alan Wake 2 with all the woke bullshit they filled it with
>>735150913Alan Wake 2 was good
>>735150691Some areas look coolBut man most of the time this game looks like a grey mess with red lightsI'll wait for the Electronic underground review.
>>735150691I was sold as soon as I heard that there wasn't a stamina meter or parry button.
Is it gonna be EGS-exclusive, or do they actually want to make money this time?
>>735151252nvm it's on steam, I'm retarded and could have just looked it up
>>735150913
>>735150880I'm an Art Deco fan and I still thought it was great to have a brutalist aesthetic for a change
>>735150691Nope.
>over-the-shoulder shooter except you can telekinetically throw things am i missing something here?
>>735150691First game has a realistic grounded approach. Stuff unfold slowly and the powers are somewhat minor and incremental. Jesse doesnt start out a super hero flying through the air invincible. Its just you and the gun. The control scheme and gunplay as tight as GTA IV and controlling Niko. It's a downright cool game.In comes RESONANT. Out with the grounded careful approach, no the boring baldie protagnist now wields a 10 meter long hammer like a Mario brother and he's slamming and teleporting through the world that looks like it was shat on with a confetti sparkly diarrhea magical blast.No, I wont be purchasing this generic fantasy doodoo!
>>735150954Try playing it again. Alan wake 2 was good .. can you believe this guy? Try playing it one more time from beginning to end, see if you can do it without disintegrating.
>>735151704That's the first game, yes
>>735151309Good boy.
>>735151704Yeah, change of the genre for the sequel.
>>735150691It wouldn't be difficult to be more interesting than the first game
>>735153839oh, so it ends before actually doing anything interesting, yet still got reverse blowbanged by every journalist alive? there needs to be a term for this. journalist-bait?
>>735155682What the fuck are you even talking about? Stop taking shrooms before shitposting.
>>735152119>gunplay as tight as GTA IV... so not tight at all
>>735151252AW2 was published by Epic, so that's on their hands. C: Resonant is self-published by Remedy.
>>735155973it seems like this poster was referring to how games journalists will lavish undo praise upon any video game that teases novel gameplay mechanics or premises but not play long enough to see how the concepts aren't really fleshed out or even really functional. A more recent example being blue prince, when games journalists played for maybe 4 hours, longer than the refund window, but not long enough to see the game as incredibly flawed.
>>735153116not the guy you're replying to but i did. the only complaints i have were gameplay related and they weren't until the tail end of the game. (that horde battle shit on the beach + that FUCKING boss battle against scratch with the slow moving lights JFC what were they thinking)Everything else about AW2 was pure kino
>>735156349>was pure movieyeah, we called it a movie game.
>>735156412>cinematic elements in vidya BAD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEzoomers are such plebs i swear
>>735156550yes, "video games" that treat the gameplay as a tertiary priority are bad.and the only reason stephen king is hailed as a good author is because he won't pull punches like corporate media will.
>>735156349>>735156550>reddit spacing>pure kino>zoomer projection
>>735152119>GTA IV Every GTA has shit gunplay
>>735156675>noooo muh bing bing bahooo!!!!Zoomers were a mistake.
The first control game was a straight up 2007 third person shooter shovelware game with a telekinesis gimmick, something already done 500 times.That is to say, making something look better than control would require less than no effort.
>>735150691It doesControl was kinda boring honestly
>>735156891i've forgotten more games than you've ever known existed. hence why i am not impressed by perfunctory gameplay wrapped around sanitized stephen king.
I think it looks kinda shit and the dialogue sounds like awful "focus m" type stuff
>>735156349Saga's mind palace sections fucked up the pacing pretty hard. For the most part you never get combat pods beyond 2 - 4 enemies. The enemy and encounter design never evolves beyond the first area making it feel pretty stale by the end. On the story side Saga is pretty flat. Her big carrot of her family never feels like a real threat, nor do they get established enough to give the player that connection. Casey would have worked better for the narritive, and would have had a much better sword of Damocles above his head.
>>735157165Faggot.
>>735150954AW2 is Remedy's only bad game and it's not just bad but terrible. It has stupendous moments regardless.
>>735150691The Oldest House setting of the first one was one of its best parts. Now it's just generic urban environments.
>>735150691If your brain still works you will have zero hope that that garbage will be good because control was such trash, AW2 sabotaged the title character for more girl bosses and Fire breakers was an utter disaster on par with highguard. Its going to be a lazy cash grab but they dont have any ability to make a game that isnt QTEs + a music video.
>>735160979>because control was such trashBut I loved it.>AW2 sabotaged the title character for more girl bossesBut you play as Dylan and Jesse isn't playable in Resonant.>Fire breakers was an utter disaster on par with highguard.It was probably a lot cheaper to make, but yeah.>Its going to be a lazy cash grabThat was Firebreak. This is a legit title.
>>735158341This, new game looks really boring.
>>735160979What games do you like?
>>735150691The first game disappointed me greatly and managed to waste The few videos of this do not convince me one bit.Visually it does have sublime visual.But the gameplay can still be shitBoring traversal mechanic,For enemy a few extremely repetitive swarm of no effort zombiesDisappointing bosses,A pointless & grindy weapon upgrade system,Clunky psychic effect,Procedurally generated environment that lack diversity past the first surprise.I only expected a SCP-game from the first game. This game don't even look like to be going that way.
>>735157165>The enemy and encounter design never evolves beyond the first area making it feel pretty stale by the end.What? That's not true at all. They introduce new enemies as you go along. Like when you get to the retirement home area they introduce the double / mirror enemy. You're kinda retarded ngl>Saga's mind palace sections fucked up the pacing pretty hard.nah, also outside of like 2 instances you control how long you are in there dummy>Her big carrot of her family never feels like a real threat, nor do they get established enough to give the player that connection. Casey would have worked better for the narritive, and would have had a much better sword of Damocles above his head.first off, I never got the impression there was any threat / sword hanging above her head in anyway in relation to her family, this feels like something you just made up in your mind to get mad at like the smooth brain you are. Second, the entire fucking point is that it was Casey that saved him in earlier drafts but he then replaced him with Saga (look at the pages where Casey's name is crossed out and he has handwritten in Saga's). Her feeling like a last minute addition is the entire point because she is. Goddamn its crazy how you missed something so obvious just because they didnt spell it out for you. You are the reason there is yellow paint in video games lmao
>>735162326>Visually it does have sublime visual.retarded ESL, go shit up some other website
>>735150691It looks like shitter Gravity whatever, that psvita game. Also Jesses brother is a charisma vacuum, also the combat looks like knockoff dark souls.Throwing rocks might have been basic, but it was kino
>>735150913If the writing is that bad again, I'll just ignore it as much as possible and focus on the game part. The more important question is whether that game part is any good.
>>735150913Control was already a trash game, same as Alan Wake or Quantum Break. Max Payne 2 Remedy's only game with passable writing so far.
>>735150691The gameplay certainly looks more interesting. The rest we'll have to see.
>>735165090Looks like the worst character action game I've ever seen
>>735167103Play Wanted: Dead
the only thing the first had going for it was the setting, the actually gameplay was boring as all fuck and now in this one I don't have to play as an ugly woman I get to play as a based schizobro
>>735165090prototype bros WE ARE SO BACK
>>735150691Born to be cuhrayzeForced to be realismslop
>>735150691Remedy games are okay but they insist upon themselves
>>735165090the numbers by the healthbar shit worries meI know the first one had that too but it was bad in that game and its probably bad in this game
>>735150691>trannytrol sequelMan, those cooky fins will do literally ANYTHING to avoid making another Max Payne game
>>735165090>instead of third person shooter from 2005, its devil may cry from 2001
>>735167103>character action gamei don't understand people who instantly adopt whatever corpo-gibber they push out. is there an "action game" where you don't "control a character?"
>>735170526"Character game" was used by the Japanese to refer to a game that sold specifically because the main character looked cool. Devil May Cry is the best example, so "character action game" means "game that's kind of like Devil May Cry."
>>735171231ah yes, to differentiate from all the games that sold because the character(s) didn't look cool.
>>735169385That sucks, but it's way better than numbers flying out of a guy's chest when he gets hit. I can live with a damage number on the health bar.
