Slipgate Ironworks struck out swinging! 🤣

Tempest Rising is made by Slipgate? Damn I'm sad again :(

I knew that something was wrong since I saw giant hamster ball watch?v=0ua9F5OfS9g as a unit of these NOD wannabes.

_Oh no... Please, by Kane, no!_

They are a bit more transparent about that one, but still gives me red flags which makes me absurdly sad(C&C is my favorite franchise and a new game good game inspired by it would be awesome)

They did the Rise Of The Triad to Rise Of The Triad 2013 thing

They did the Blood to Blood 2 thing

They basically made Bombshell(a mediocre and boring mess) they've played Ion Fury and said "Ok guys this is too good, we must turn back to our Slipgate standards" and there we go.

THIS!

Better said would be the curse of a sequel to a build engine game

Here comes the Calgary

Here comes the Cadbury

Here comes the calzone

jesus: fuck

Surely she MEANS to say calvary though :P It's a twist on the clichéd "here comes the cavalry" thing.

Here comes the caviar!

@@underthemayo Here comes the cranberry!

How can you say that... with such casualty!

​@@underthemayoDead Space 3 exists

Here comes the colonoscopy!

Gotta say I agree. From what i've gathered from my doom modding experience, I think the keys would be: To have a very clear vision of the project from the very beggining to prevent switching or becoming other stuff halfway in. Stuff changes overtime, but doing a "we started as an fps and now we switched into a dating sim because it's better for the story" leads to bunch of lost time. Prototype your game mechanics very early in development, that way you can test which think works and which doesn't. (A common practice in the industry, placeholder assets/art is suggested, no need to have completed ui, if the mechanic work, then expand on it.) And (this one is for someone I know) you usually don't go big on your first project, gotta learn through mistakes from previous projects before going big leagues (nailing it first try, although doable, is risky in a overloaded market where there's more game on sales than time onlife to play them) Gotta know your limits, experimenting is fine, and wanting to go big is natural, but doing both at once comes with a risk, and sucess rate is counted with one hand. (Before Daniel mullins's "Inscryption", there was a gamejam experiment called "Sacrifices must be made") I know a thing or two about it, worked on a steam game for someone else's project for about 4 years and I ended up leaving the project because no one stopped the director into adding more features and straight up reprogramming the whole game in a different language again. I was given the chance to learn the new language, but no way I can learn a programming language from scratch in 2-4 months, so lesson learned.

He said he won't review it because he already said it's gonna suck in demo from Vibe Check vid, so there's no need for any further discussion and he hoped people won't buy it the very moment demo happened

​@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone Shame, I was waiting on another Rawpocalypse

I suffer for you, my children.

I thought wrath was good. Not great but good.

@@underthemayo Wrath is definitely much better than some of Slipgate’s other releases. It’s a flawed game in some ways but at least it doesn’t make me feel shame having purchased it like Kingpin Reloaded or Graven

Graven was such a mixed bag. Love the art direction and world building. Even some of the combat and interactivity. However, it just wasnt enough for me not to hate everything else about it.

@@reggiereg2064I honestly feel the same about Graven. What bothers me most about it isn’t the game itself, it’s what it could’ve been.

We thought Blood II was the rawest thing in existence, we were wrong

Hey well thanks, that's nice to know you like what I do. Definitely don't take me 100% though! There's always gonna be someone who likes something. And I try to keep in mind when something just "isn't for me". Sadly I don't think this game is good from any perspective.

Yeah, 3D Realms was on top. But then Duke Nukem Forever, took forever. And it was all downhill from there.

They realized they had too many delays in a row and are trying to make up for it but they rush things, at least that's my theory

​@@giacomogiliberti2673 Had they made this into another Build Engine game with more of what makes Ion Fury fun, this wouldn't have happened. This is honestly depressing. It's the same thing that killed Blood

What a shame.

Ion Fury was a good game. What a rotten way to get a sequel.

Blood 2

Pure calvary

Well thank you!

Yeah im sure that's REALLY gonna help.

I have no idea. I'm not sure if it's developer incompetence or executive meddling that lead to the failures of Graven and Phantom Fury.

Slipgate Ironworks have been known for releasing shit games, so I think the onus for these bad releases are largely on them. That being said, 3DR could also have been making these arbitrary release dates, preventing them from fixing what needs to be fixed... but THAT being said, Slipgate also released the Kingpin "remaster"... which is STILL a huge unfinished mess....

The thing is, I don't really have my ear to the ground on what's coming out. I keep to myself. And then I just get surprised by new titles that everyone has been following for ages already.

Strong opinions and feelings lead to strong titles, what can I say. This video is a warning to stay away. *sigh*

Whenever I play games and find stuff like this, I think "how did no one else bring this up already?"

Wrath was still a good game, but isn't worth the full price for sure.

wdym Wrath slapped

It did improve, from what I hear. But the issues are foundational.

I swear I never even noticed when I picked one up.

Man at that point I didn't want to ruin my day anymore that I already had. This video had become negative enough at that point and I just wanted to focus on happier things.

@@underthemayo you know a game is bad when it sounds like you're describing the effects of emotional trauma 🤣

I saw his video after I started my review. I was like "it used to be worse???"

It's actually just a voice acting mistake they didn't catch. The subtitles in the game correctly say cavalry.

Appreciate the play by play.

If appreciating effort like this is what passes, then AA titles and the standards we have for gaming are doomed

@@danielgeronimo5538 Just the desing is worth seein to me, And I am talking about me, not saying what others have to enjoy

​@@bubuasqw123I'm saying you should reconsider, sure the game might have some interesting design, but these are times when even one or two people passing it off and the devs get lazy with their standards. Besides, in games just to see is sometimes not enough, you have to feel. And how can one be sure it's really as interesting as you see it now?

That would be cool
