DANGERMAN Posted October 19, 2024 Share Posted October 19, 2024 I saw a news story today that this is getting a cheap price when it's released next year. $50, which presumably translates to £40. Could be a bargain if this lives up to its promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Out a bit earlier than I expected (24th April) and the trailer shows a few additional, slightly more fantastical and goofy party members that play the role of a summon and a mount, respectively. Related to the latter they also unveiled that this has a classic JRPG overworld (with a depth of field effect that gives Blue Dragon a run for its money), which is a nice surprise because part of me expected this to be a more linear game à la FFX/XIII.

mfnick Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This looks fucking awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yeah, it’s just looking spectacular on every level. Just hope the story is good to back up all the visuals and gameplay. Some of it looks kind of silly which is surprising. I thought it was going to be a very serious thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This kind of had my attention before but it definitely has my attention now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The fact this game looks so awesome, it has a really expensive celebrity cast, it’s on Gamepass and retail price is only £40, I feel like there’s a shoe to drop here. It feels like there should be a catch but I can’t see it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The catch for me remains that nauseating battle camera, let me tune that down a bit and I'll be more interested. The best thing they said about this game is it has a world map, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 40 minutes ago, Maf said: It feels like there should be a catch but I can’t see it yet Guess that's part of the beauty of Game Pass... you get to try without maybe blowing 50 quid on a duff purchase... not that I expect this to be duff at all.

Maryokutai Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 I think the 'catch' here is that it's just not very long, IIRC they mentioned about 25 hours, which is very compact for an RPG (which is absolutely fine I think). Also it's a small team, the publisher wasn't involved from the very beginning, France doesn't pay well in general – and there you have your moderate budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Supposedly 60 hours for completionists... hopefully those extra 30 hours won't have you collecting flowers or some bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 They mention something there I would have preferred not to know beforehand, but at least it was nice to hear so much enthusiasm for it because, even though I'm quite looking forward to it, I've so far found it difficult to grasp whether or not this might end up being genuinely good or just a well-meant first shot. Seems to lean towards the former, but I'm officially signing out of the info loop. It's not that far away now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'll admit I didn't watch the entire thing and I'll not be watching anything else now as I'll be playing it regardless of what's said... it's just nice to see some genuine praise for tge game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I can't copy and paste all of them, but Steam have published what the most played demos in the Next Fest were https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfestmostplayed_feb_2025 There's one or two there I didn't play that I'd have liked to. Also Mfgamers favourite Gothic is in there. I played Haste, it's alright, I kind of with it had more snap the the controls, so you have less control. I didn't that much of Deliver At All Costs. It reminded of a PS2 era game which is cool, it felt like something that doesn't get made any more. I just found it crushingly slow The best thing I played was probably Level Devil, but I liked most of what I tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
