Yes, but I definitely remember those as being distinct from one another because their names were very different. They just happened to be similar genres. If however they were named something like Dante's Peak and Dante's Summit or Deep Impact and Dark Impact, I'm pretty certain I would have confused them.
That's basically The Asylum's entire business model, lol.
Honestly, that's what worried me the most about Redfall. Clearly he was one of the main driving forces behind the studio's creativity so without him around anymore, it's at risk of becoming just another developer of mostly soulless games, only renowned for their past glory.
Its a decent game but like op ppinted out the combat is meh, probs its biggest flaw but a definitive edition updates comes out next week so hopegully it fixes the combat
I tried Weird West and hated it. I'm actually enjoying Redfall as a mid-tier AA shooter.
Well I like to challenge myself to try new things. Sometimes you just bounce off a game and don't understand it. I've felt for a while I wanted to give it one last try just to be sure.
Someone already mentioned it ITT, but If you have this game on PC, one of the designers who worked on this game actually made a first person mod in his spare time and it works pretty well. Definitely makes the game feel like a more traditional immersive sim and the combat is a bit easier than from an isometric view.
Nope, console. But that's interesting.

. Was similar with disco elyseum. Loved the idea, but couldn’t be arsed with all the text, as soon as they released the difinitive edition fully voiced, I bought that and it one of my fav games. Same let down with norco, seems right up my street, but yeah same problem.
I don't mind reading. Sometimes it works even better, especially in low-budget games, because I can just picture the full scene and voices by using my imagination, like when you're reading a book, and it's far more effective than a fully voice acted scene made on a shoestring budget.I started it a few days ago, as I live arkane games, and was disappointed with how redfall turned out. Thought this may scratch the itch. It’s good, but for me it’s hugely let down by extremely limited voice acting whilst being dialogue heavy. I got bored of reading and bought midnight suns instead
It’s obviously budgetary restrictions on indies and AA games, so I’m hopeful that the next wave of such titles will be able to use ai to voice their characters. It’s not like they were going to pay voice actors anyhow.
Yeah I get it, it’s just not for me. If I wanted to read I’d read a book. I’m in my 40s now too so reading tons of small text 10 feet away from a tele is just a pain. I play in evenings with my wife on the sofa too, and whilst she doesn’t play many games (although she did play hogwartz) she likes to passively follow along the story whilst crocheting or playing mobile games or tiktoking. Can’t do that with just text.
See, that's exactly what I mean. If the developer doesn't have the resources of talent that could help them realize their ambitions, then I think it would work better to try and find a solution that would work more effectively within their limitations. Such as taking a more minimalist approach to storytelling like in this example.
Yah, check the edit on my last post. Outlines how I think that’ll be solved in the near future

I mean on pc anything is possible I guess. Someone plugged chatGPT and voice ai into Skyrim recently so you could have in world, lore relevant dynamic conversations with npc’s.
