Some info on Blizzard’s survival game

  • codenamed Odyssey
  • looks amazing, looks like Everwild (his reaction was “It is Everwild!”)
  • fairy tale survival game with building mechanics
  • players can sell what they craft (similar to FO76), you can make a potion shop and sell potions to other players
  • has some complex fantasy machines (alchemy, almost steam punk) in a fairy tail aesthetics, very unique
  • aesthetics reminded him of Fable Legends, “classic Blizzard-Pixar aesthetics”
  • traditional survival game, not MMO, kinda like Ark, first person, bow and arrow
  • saw footage from month ago

Starts around 2h 42m mark

Will be big :slight_smile:

Sounds like it has a pretty heavy online component. Haven’t played a game like this before, probably normal.

Jez should not drink such heavy stuff during podcasts. I think this gets a bit uncomfortable. Or is this only me?

Blizzard is about online games.

Well, he behaves just like me when I am sober when he is drunk though. Maybe that’s why I never got drunk myself? As I am always in that state :joy:

Haven’t listened to this week’s, but as long as he doesn’t say anything that gets him cancelled I think he’s good haha. Though I enjoy a fine beverage myself.

Well, this time it seems rather than 20% he was drinking 40% by mistake

The game sounds really interesting and definitely makes me more excited for Everwild and the new Blizzard game.

Can’t believe that I’m actually looking forward to a new CoD. But that E3 gameplay footage was really good and the MP is looking surprisingly good too.

I hope so, so much that MS can just bring MW2 to Game Pass no problem as soon as the deal has closed. And in the case Sony does have some kind of deal that MS just cancels that deal by any means.

I realize that in the long run this acquisition is a amazing deal, but for a change it would be nice if that acquisition means big news right from the start, unlike how Zenimax came with “only” old games and new stuff like Deathloop and Ghostwire had annoying deals tied to them.

Time will tell, it would not surprise me if Sony DOES have a deal with ABK of sorts that keeps MW2 away from GP for at least a few months, sigh.

To be fair even if Modern Warfare 2 is restricted on coming to game pass, we’re still getting Diablo 4 day one from the looks of things.

I personally want to see how MW2 will do in sales without Game Pass. How many players, concurrent numbers,NPD will it achieve.

True, but I’m just so tired of this nonsense. But we have to wait and see. Maybe there is no such deal at all. But in the case there is, we can only hope it’s a few months but knowing Sony’s shenanigans it’s easily a year. Hopefully once the deal closes we’ll find out soon. Although it’s doubtful we will hear what the duration is.

Sounds really interesting actually, one thing that I want to highlight is the ability to set up stores for other players to access. In my opinion this is honestly one of the strongest additions to Fallout 76 - it gives so much more meaning to building up your base when you know other players will see it if they come to browse your store, and it makes the whole search for resources/grind for loot more meaningful because even if an item isn’t useful to you it might be useful to another player and worth selling as a result.
