Just like I expected - betweenn 93-95

Nice, glad to see it’s been doing well, don’t know if I’ll play it any time soon but I’ll look forward to it when I do.

AAA is mostly not gonna be the place to see games evolve and innovate. For the most part, we are tremendously stuck with similar design paradigms since the 2010s, just bigger and better in ways. That’s why indies and smaller scales games are important, integral, for innovation in games.

100% AAA are just like big hollywood movies - always safe approach. Too expensive to produce.

No interest in the game but I stopped taking reviews seriously long ago both for games and movies

I might check out a couple of reviewers thoughts here from time to time but that’s about it

Most AAA have barely evolved from the 360 era, it’s all the same shit with better graphics

I think games are at least a bit better than what Disney has made of blockbuster movies :skull:

It was a joke.

This might not be relevant anymore but I heard on a podcast that they could only discuss certain early parts of the game. Maybe there’s something like that here, where reviewers couldn’t talk about a later part of the game that’s more of a departure?

Not really my type of game, but it’s cool to see another big game come out and score well for the people who are into it.

Just wrapped this up, was a lot of fun.

For those who still believe in Abandoned. Not sure who does still, but enough to actually have him answer.

I never believed in this game, but the real question is how did Sony get swindled into doing that featured article or whatever about it? And why did Geoff Keighley hype it up? Remember all the internet detectives that were convinced it was Kojima because “Geoff’s smirk gave it away”?

I think it’s the ultimate April’s Fools from the dev.

I dont think Sony were really swindled

All they did was make a blog post and I believe that’s something a dev/pub can pay for which is what BB likely did

and I think Geoff and others were just as curious as everyone else, PT, it’s cancellation and Kojima having a history of rusing people, I don’t blame people for their wishful thinking

But it became pretty obvious fairly quickly that it was nonsense

Kojima- “Geoff you remember when we did that Moby Dick thing”

Lol, never change Kojima

That’s exactly what he would say if he was involved and wanting to keep it secret… :troll:

Another shitty action game where you slide towards your enemies , the camera is far too close, and godlike beings move slower and more clumsily than out of shape office workers. Bravo, Sony Santa Monica.

EDIT: Boom.

This just sounds bitter. They made what sounds like one of the best games of all time, don’t need to be bitter to cope.
