Did they get rid of the pedophile writer?

Edit: Seen this in some article.

"While discussion of the narrative reboot doesn’t explicitly mention the controversy surrounding Gray, she does not appear to be writing on the game anymore, "

From what I understand it works basically like this:

- Special Edition (the one everyone has + gamepass) gets free next-gen upgrade

- Anniversary Content requires separate purchase, wont be part of GamePass

- Anniversary Edition probably its own bundled purchase for those interested

Halo Infinite won't have co-op Campaign and Forge at launch
Microsoft is scaling back its Halo Infinite launch offerings but remains committed to its slated 2021 release for campaign and multiplayer.

After delaying for a full year. What a shitshow.

How can you even expect to get anything more out of WWII? Already their last one (WWII) game was dumb, this looks like Fast and Furious version of it, straight up.
Then again, i don't think anyone really cares about these campaigns anyway.

Is it a remake of this?

Nintex · « **Reply #28578 on:** August 21, 2021, 08:58:12 AM »

It's apparently a sort of alternative history thing.

Quote

In Vanguard, players will get to experience the four fronts of World War II through the eyes of four Special Forces characters. The story revolves around the four being sent to Berlin, Germany to identify Project Phoenix. This is a project that they believed was how the Nazis intended to prolong their rule beyond Hitler.

The four Special Forces were sent to stop this advancement. During their attempt to stop, the four Forces get captured and taken into the Lion’s Den inside of Gestapo Headquarters. The Nazis interrogating them were scared because they had never seen small squads of allied forces fighting together that were highly trained.

This sets the foundation for what Vanguard is about. Players will follow the four Special Forces characters through their journey during the War and how they came together to fight for their people.

Speaking more to these delays and the reasons why 343 opted not to push Halo Infinite back once again, the studio's creative lead, Joseph Staten, opened up about the conversations that have been had in recent months. "Yeah, I mean we talked about doing [delaying the game]. But where we landed is that Halo Infinite is a live game, so it isn't ever really "done." It's going to progress and evolve from season to season. We talk about launch being the beginning of that journey, but to have a beginning, you need to pick a moment and actually begin," Staten said of the reason to delay specific features rather than the entire game. "Ultimately, we decided that we've been working on this game for a really long time. Our fans have been waiting on this game for a really long time. With solo campaign and our first season of free-to-play multiplayer in really good shape for holiday, we didn't want to delay anymore. Let's get started and we'll continue to evolve from there."

Pretty damn surprised at Psychonauts 2 reviews. Who would have ever thought Double Fine would make a not just good, but a great game that garners 9s from reputable sites. Their games in the gameplay department have been so mediocre for so long I never would have expected it, but I guess having an actual budget and an IP they are passionate about seems to have worked.

I loved the original Psychonauts and the VR game was probably the best double fine game since then even if it was maybe a 7-8/10 quality for a 3 hour VR experience, so I'm stoked to play this one.

Tasty · « **Reply #28585 on:** August 23, 2021, 03:15:01 PM »

I'm actually kinda surprised how low it is, but I haven't kept up on Double Fine for years. I just thought Psychonauts was one of those supposedly-god-tier games people always talk about, like Beyond Good & Evil.

The sequel netting a B- by most accounts is fine, I guess.

Yeaaaah, you're kind of out of the loop here haha.

Even the original Psychonauts is good, but it's a cult classic, it's not a god-tier quality game imo. The platforming is pretty jank and just passable. Also everything they've done since cutting down budgets and doing lots of small XBLA type short low budget games for 10-15 years has been pretty messy.

The shine's been off Double Fine for a long time, dude. Their best stuff recently has been remasters of classic Lucasarts adventure games. Hopefully this represents a turn around for them, but even if it isn't at least Psychonauts got its sequel finally.

Beyond good and evil is at 83 mc. Psychonauts 2 is at 89 (on pc, 87 on console for whatever reason).

The platforming was never Mario that's for sure, but I never quite agreed with it being janky. Always enjoyed the platforming pf the original. But what you really played it for was the wacky levels and characters. I absolutely loved it.

Nah, not really. There's some pretty good jokes but i'd recommend jumping straight into 2. The graphics and gameplay of Psy 1 don't hold up as well as say, Portal 1.

Volition did something that hardly any dev has done that uses a character creator.... Released a stand alone character creator ahead of time to upload to the full game.
Y'all devs out there takin' notes?
