It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Noclip's interview with Nate

[–] catch22@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Great interview, thanks

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Looks fun. I cracked up when dude shot the deer thing and the blood exploded. I'll definitely check this out.

Is that heavy metal music actually in the game, or is it just for the trailer?

Can I play a stealth archer

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This, in fact, seems to be the only option.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What about an archer that is stealthy?

Why do all Unreal 5 games look the same?

I feel like credentials such as used to work at Bethesda, aren't as good as they think they are... Or is it just me?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

if they were a lead game designer or writer I would agree. but I think this guy did environmental design, and Bethesda has had pretty cool environments in their games. though not all of them are very believable (in feeling lived-in), they sure do provide some spectacle, and memorability. in fact many of their games have been mostly carried by environments.

Everything but starfield seemed like a plus to me

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Depends on their tenure. If they're old school Bethesda, nah that's just you. The people who built the older TES games had much more skill than the people churning out schlock or the 473rd rererelease of Skyrim. The newer people, yeah that's not a feather in their cap really. Starfield is meh at best, and doesn't hold a candle to stuff like Morrowind.

Especially if we are going back only 14 years. So what did they work on, skyrim remasters or Fallout 4 remasters?

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Starfield. Active development started 9 years ago.

[–] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn't a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.

This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone's achievements is for some reason fair game.

Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.

Good on him!

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

You're missing that he quit during the development of that crappy game, which gives him extra points for judgement.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

To address your point of toxicity, I didn't get the impression. In fact it's the first thing that popped into my mind as well.

Bethesdas reputation is just that tarnished.

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee -4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah I dunno. Journalist who worked at cnn 20 years quits to make own newspaper wouldn't do it for me either

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Journalism on CNN is alright, it's the political commentors that have been bought.

Mashing x to doubt...

That timeline was trotted out to make it sound pre no man's sky during marketing. Inside sources had it's real development time as way shorter, hence it's so terrible even for a Bethesda game

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 0 points 1 day ago

That... Still doesn't feel like a positive thing to mention.
