I understand that and I am aware of most of what has happened. I'm happy for you and those set of fans. All the CG trailer does is tell me that it exists. That excitement I'm going to save for, when I see actual gameplay of 3rd person shooting and hack and slash.
I kind of want to know whose idea was it to give Harley Quinn a grappling hook but Deadshot a jetpack, that's kind of the opposite of what I'd have gone with considering Deadshot has a suit with gauntlets and reinforced armour that would be better for lifting a person up etc while Jetpacks are more chaotic which would fit Harley Quinn.
The video I watched didn't give me that. Thank you, but I still need MOAR!
I wish Activision would tell us what was happening with it. They're really drag-on things out.
Do we need sixteen fantasies that are supposedly final?
Think about it...
I really can't say I'm impressed from the looks of it. Those tyranids look like chumps. Not only do they come across as a small group of pack animals, but the bitches promptly flee as soon as the head tyranid is taken out like a twat.
Like, if I want to see a horde of bugs in CGI, I'll rewatch the Heart of the Swarm intro for the 100th time, thanks.
Yeah, but it's 4X.
Also, this will probably be heresy, but why do Dune games keep coming back to Arakkis? It's a big Known Universe out there, we can probably assume that the Landsraad houses have had various battles on various worlds. Or maybe further back, such as the Butlerian Jihad - can you imagine a cymek? Because I can imagine cymeks.
They "took their time" with Sonic Forces, how did that turn out?
Anyway, "please don't suck" and all that, but if anything, I'm getting Sonic 06 vibes, what with the graphical style, and the architecture involved. And, um, yeah...
I mean that's pretty lore accurate for Tyranids. They're mindless bug swarms serving an overmind, Zerg style. Actually it should have been worse, the death of the head Tyranid caused the chumps to lose their link with the hive mind, and that should have overloaded their nervous system and killed them.
Happens all the time in Dawn of War and the table top. Kill the synapse creatures and the little mooks that survive are little better than rabid dogs. Its just there is usually a trillion boss bugs and a hundred trillion mooks.
Sonic Forces I already saw coming after hearing production trouble. I don't know, nor can predict what is going to happen, but if Sega and Sonic Team fucking care, then they'll take all the time in the world. Unless they want another Sonic 06 or Boom on their hands. Even though Forces had its problems, I found it average. But what could have been...
Try not get to anxious or excited. Just waaaaaaiiiittttttt..... and see what happens.
I look forward to watching the Vaati analysis, coming in 3...2....1.....
Also looking forward to seeing this again as the opening cutscene of the game.
On a different note,
I thought this was Lies of P, and then I realized this is a different clockpunk Soulslike set in France.

Detroit was ok but nothing spectacular. I always consider David Cage’s offerings as interactive movies and not actually games.
They can be unintentionally hilarious
Though the only David Cage game I've finished was Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit and that game was hilarious due to how incomprehensible and OOT it gets after the 2/3 point. I was doing a decent job of taking it seriously early on and wondering where all the wierd shit was leading to, and then the last part of the game was "AND THEN YOU TURN INTO NEO AND FIGHT A PERSONIFCATION OF THE INTERNET. ALSO YOU'RE DEAD BUT NOBODY CARES". It's not spoiler because it makes no sense.

I think the worst reveal was Texas Chainsaw Massacre game.
For one thing, the game is marketed as “Based on true events”. Well, isn’t it based on the original movie, which was dramatized version of the original event?
Secondly, the moment I saw the word “multiplayer” the game lost all its value for me. I’m not sure why someone thinks horror goes along with people screaming and laughing over their mics. It usually devalues the horror element.
if this was a survival horror w/ AI leatherface I might’ve been interested

They're coming up by the truckload now.
Nice to see Forspoken shown off, shame we didn't get to see maybe a bit more gameplay but I did like the idea of using an iceblock to surf about and some cool looking particle effects stuff.
I'm predicting something akin to the Friday the 13th game but I dunno how they'll justify Leatherface having teleporting powers and stuff.
It just feels Oddly specific, really. This isn't "Oh, there are two big open world games with crafting" coming out at the same time(though apparently some people got mad that HZD and BOTW came out close to each other because people get them confused for the same game or something), it's two games with a weirdly specific setting and aesthetic coming out together. Then again, if you were waiting for French Automaton Souls-likes, you're gonna have two of those bad boys over the next few years.

I took back my rented copy of the game before the real craziness started I guess and never got back to trying it again to finish it and given the snippets I've heard about the rest of the game, I think I finished at just the right time.
Indigo Prophecy or Heavy Rain?
Granted, you'd be correct on both counts so it doesn't matter much. Indigo prophecy pretty much put me off buying any other David Cage games because it felt clear the man is a bit of a hack, who has cool ideas but no idea how to pull them off. And for some reason the man gets to keep making these things.
If you really wanted to know, you could LP them and not miss anything, though you might be even more likely to notice how fucking stupid they get by the end that way.
