[Sticks]

Meh, I really liked Jusant and Banishers to an lesser extent but I'm not feeling this

 

[jmiller180]

The idea seems cool, but looked like a lot of cutscenes and melodrama. Plus my woke radar is going off.

 

[winjer]

Looks boring as shit.
But the choice of music for the trailer was good.

 

[GrayChild]

DONTNOD and muh strong independent PoC/alphabet protagonists still go hand in hand I see.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Another interracial couple, eh? And of course we know which side is going to be the dominant one.

 

[poodaddy]

 

[HYDE]

Yawn

 

[Peroroncino]

stunning and brave

 

[Gonzito]

Woke company. Pass

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Another head scratch as to why this will bomb.

 

[Roberts]

Looks like a better looking Deliver Us to Moon/Mars type of a game. I liked those.

 

[Critical Hit]

Looks like they haven't learn anything. I wonder if this is their swansong.

 

[diffusionx]

Looks like a game approved and funded in 2021.

 

[metareferential]

Say what you want, I like some easier, linear sci-fi games with cool settings.

Graphics are cool, music is good, story could be interesting (even if a bit cliché? It's Interstellar meets Gravity woke edition, but who cares).

 

[Bonfires Down]

Walking sim + sci-fi, yep this is for me. One of the highlights of the show.

 

[Fafalada]

I dunno - Jusant was a bizarre mess/yawn fest - but I'm a sucker and keep coming back for more - I want to try this...

 

[SJRB]

100% dogshit. Another game that won't reach 100 concurrent players on Steam.

Also love the irony of this being sponsored by the European Space Agency.

 

[Terenty]

Looks like a much lamer and cheaper Split Fiction

 

[Punished Miku]

Could be good. No idea. But I like some DontNod stuff and it's GP so will try it for sure

 

[HJuggernaut]

Dontnod got lucky with Life is Strange everything else has been awful, and this looks like to be their worst game ever.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Dontnod was extremely difficult to do considering this was literally a highlight reel of the most boring cinematic Naughty Dog-isms that everyone has been copying to death for the past 15 years. What the fuck was that even?

Videogames really have hit rock bottom in terms of aping corny-ass Hollywood tropes to appear "more". So sick of that dumb mentality.

Looks like Returnal for retards without any gameplay.

 

[intbal]

I think the character from Hyenas found a new home.

 

[semiconscious]

'hey, you got soap opera in my high adventure...'

 

[DarthPutin]

Wasn't this song in another game trailer?
Oh yeah, ironically also space game,

Kerbal Space Program 2

Though I think I've heard it elsewhere as well.

 

[Peroroncino]

I think the character from Hyenas found a new home.

I'd rather she stay homeless

 

[GymWolf]

Dontnod is usually a certified pass for me.

 

[Vindicator]

Sista do be survivin'

 

[Gilgalaad]

No, thanks.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I don't see how they will have a future making games after this disaster.

 

[Black_Stride]

Dontnod got lucky with Life is Strange everything else has been awful, and this looks like to be their worst game ever.

I liked Remember Me and Vampyr.
Jusant was very well received, dunno how it sold though.
Banishers isnt a 10 game but a sold 7 even 8 outta 10 shoulda priced it as a budget title though.


As long as this game isnt full price ill give it a go, ill probably end up liking it.



EDIT: Its on Gamepass, of course ill give it a go.

[Alan Silvestro]

Space woke.
Pass.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

If you had to judge based on video games released in this generation, you would guess that "diverse masculine women" make up the majority of hardcore gamers.

Whoever this is for, hope they enjoy it. Thanks to the ESA for subsidizing products that aren't commercially viable.

 

[Ishma3L]

Pro Tip: if you're going to make a shitty game, the best thing you can do is throw M83's Outro in the trailer.

 

[Darkkahn]

That's a no from me.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm in. Gamepass, so no brainer to play it.

 

[Knucklepux]

Close to 60% of gamers are male
About 75% are white overall
Action games are almost 20% more men than women
Statistically it's about 98% men


But yes….lets keep making black females as our lead. Because "representation matters??"

Except you aren't representing your demographic.

"We have no idea why our games fail!"

 

[Pimpbaa]

Look horribly boring.

[Comandr]

Reveal trailer

New trailer

Am I crazy or did they make her skin tone darker? I actually thought the MC was middle eastern in the first trailer. Now it looks like a straight up race swap. Just her it looks like. Wonder why.

I like space horror but I'm putting my chips on directive 8020.

Soo. White males only want to play as white males? Last time I checked they're more than happy to play as little Japanese schoolgirls, big black wizards or fucking lizards and cats.

 

[existensmaximum]

Looks like a much lamer and cheaper Split Fiction

Cheaper..? The production values and graphics look like two generations ahead. But yeah I doubt it will be nearly as fun.

 

[Justinus]

I don't mind if you want to have a black female main character in a video game, but if you decide to do so, would it hurt so much to actually make them attractive?

 

[GymWolf]

What a generic ass monster design.

 

[winjer]

This looks like shovelware for a subscription service or the bargain bin.

Well these games continue to massively underperform soooooo…… you're probably on to something

 

[Toots]

Looks like a better looking Deliver Us to Moon/Mars type of a game. I liked those.

I was going to say looks like Deliver us to mars without the reedeming quality of being a sequel to Deliver us the Moon (which is one of the very best walking simulator ever made).

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Its likely, if there was a single demographic that spends less time gaming than any other... it would be black women. Imagine being a game dev and not understanding the benefits of designing games that cater to the largest demographics that primarily consume their content.

 

[The Cockatrice]

DONTNOT was really a one hit wonder. Shame.
