Brave. Unapologetic. Daring.
The played-out strawman of "devs are too scared to include social commentary" is silly. Games have been doing that for ages now. Just because a studio doesn't bash their player base over the head with it in marketing doesn't mean it isn't there for you, as the player, to discover and process it as you see fit. JRPGs have been bashing corporations, pollution and what not for decades just as one example.

Indeed. Don't lecture me about the ultra rich and mega corps sucking the life out of the Earth when it's the ultra rich and those trillion dollar mega corps that are providing him the resources and means to create and publish his work.
Hypocrisy. If it bothers Smith that much, perhaps he should put his money where his ideology is and quit working for a company that is in the top three richest in the world and still has ties to a guy who is gobbling up farmland across the globe at an alarming rate.

It looks dreadfully dull and generic. You’d think a sponsored preview would show something more compelling.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
If this is successful maybe they'll get to revisit Prey again, fingers crossed.

I prefer if they revisit dark messiah over prey if dish 3 is off the table.
I REALLY disliked the enemies and combat in that one (except the cute mimics)
If this is successful, we can forget classic immersive sims from them dude...M is gonna push for a sequel or something similar.

In the US, it's mountains of cars, available electricity, and factory output. Minus the cars, it's the same conditions in Japan, Europe, much of China, South America, and even the Middle East.
The sheer availability of 20th century progress is why we have man-made climate change. It isn't fake venture capitalists LOL.
It's us.

If it doesn’t, you can always stream the Series X version on it.

What? Those graphics are U5?
Where is Lumen?
This game has been in development since before Lumen/Nanite were on console, let alone had 60 FPS support. I doubt this is using any of the modern UE5 bells and whistles.
I'm mostly talking about Senjutsu. He wrote a whole book on why it's not a big deal.
Also these video's are looking rough and confirm everything I expected. The first time I saw one of the characters sprinting, i thought the animation didn't load in or whatever. Just a diagonal gun going forward in Z space rofl. Man, I'm always hoping for these games to turn around the ship for me but it's somehow even worse than I had anticipated. Just a super rough looking game overall.

Most if not all media is political in one way or another is my position. I just laugh at companies that deny that.

Exactly. I was originally on the fence on this one. Then once it was confirmed to be a looter shooter I was out.

Tbf people liked arkane for their immersive sims, not for their open world shlooters.
They have everything to prove in this genre.

Wasnt paticulary interested in the game, less so now.
I feel a bit for Arkane, they make great games that dont sell very well.
They are obviously trying something new, something more 'mainstream', but it looks like the quality may of suffered because of that.

As I start to explore, that feeling is compounded by the strange lifelessness of the town. Before my session, Harvey is keen to emphasise that I don't have to follow the main plot—I can just wander and see what I discover. But when I give that a try, what I find is… not a lot. There are little groups of enemies standing around in various spots, ready to come after me if I stray too close, but there's precious little to really interact with. Almost all the buildings I poke around inside are simply bare. No items to pick up, nothing to see, no signs of life other than bloodsuckers and cultists. It's a far cry from the intricate dioramas of Dishonored.

Arkane has not made a single game I've enjoyed but I'll give vampire borderlands a shot if I can convince friends to play.

Enjoyed all of their games up until Deathloop, which I I didn't finish and thought was at best meh. Played it on ps5 when it came out, tried again on gamepass, but it just didn't do it for me. This one I'm not even inclined to try. Sad, really.

I can’t speak to streaming on the Xbox one X, but streaming on my phone works without issue. I’m talking both Xcloud and remote play.No, no, no... don't stream it!
I use this and I absolutely love it for both my Series X and PS5.

I don't have a SX, but would like to get one...I don't like FPSs, but would like to try this one...I am a sucker for vampires-centered movies/books/games, but I don't like the aesthetics here...
Awaiting players' impressions and reviews for this title.

And I supported these guys.
I know Harvey Smith and some of those guys working there are communist-like, but I hoped they would be intelligent enough to understand that they don't have the capability to attempt anything like this. It comes off as a carpenter trying to bake an 8 story wedding cake. They can't do it, it's not gonna work, and they do not have the understanding of economics or politics to superimpose anything credible in this discussion through a video game.
I know you probably won't even notice this in the game, but there is a clear difference between a creative trying to contextualize concepts or politics and allowing the user to abstract them (Bioshock-ish), and creatives forcing on you what they think is correct. This is the latter. I was frustrated that Dishonored and Deathloop struggled, but now I am sort of happy about it. I absolutely can not stand rednecks and simpletons trying to force me to listen to personal ideologies that are clearly not based on anything deep or professional or schooling but just hate and anger at shadows in the corner.
Fuck these guys. I hope Microsoft guts the studio now, there is no place for this in the industry. Racists and communists need to get removed from the industry.

I don't think I can ever fully get behind streaming.

You also have to be conscious of the lens that all of these previews come from. Microsoft flew out a bunch of game journalists in studio, to not only play the game, but also interview and talk with the game's director and producers after. I think most game journalists usually temper criticism when writing previews anyways, but especially when a company rolls out the red carpet like Microsoft did here.
I'm sure the game will be solid. It's a AAA Bethesda game! But these previews have me less hyped than before

I thought that once too. If your connection is good, it’s fucking magic.I am a wise old man then...

I streamed a pc (streaming PC service) to my phone, then to my Quest 2 and played Half Life Alyx that way. It just worked perfectly.
I don’t have a pc, but wanted to play the game. So I looked up streaming pc services and found one that would let me do it.

I think you need to calm your tits. That seems to be you trying to cancel people and forcing what you think is correct more than anyone else is doing right now.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.

I wouldn't mind this if I also knew that arkane had a sequel to prey or some other single player game in the works too. This just isn't my thing and what i expect from arkane as a huge fan of their games.

True. I’ve only ever done it at home and at work. Both places it’s perfect.
