No, you got it, i'm still waiting for tomorrow like a moronYou got it.
For us older guys/gals.
When does this release on consoles?
I thought it was tomorrow (the 22nd)Today, 5pm Pacific.
I thought it was tomorrow (the 22nd)
Tomorrow for PC versionI thought it was tomorrow (the 22nd)
I have no idea why, but hot damn I hope it gets ported to console. Looks fun
No shit. That's cool. Gives me Friday the 13th vibes (smaller game with simple focus and fun to be had). I might check it out later tonight in that case.I have good news ma pal (As long as you aren't a Switch owner lol), its out on PS4 and Xbox One!
They just announced it during the PC Gaming Show so it seemed like it was exclusive.
If you only have a Switch then its out later in the year, looks fun, don't miss it!
When are the reviews dropping?
The worst thing i heard is that the game is an absolute cakewalk with 0 challenge at all.
A little sad if true, this make upgrades less meaningfull.
Is it worth 40 bucks?Okay, just played the intro and I'm in the first area. Don't want to spoil too much other than what the synopsis says. But yeah you start off once the intro is done as a shark pup.
I'm actually totally cool with the beginning area. Makes it feel like a legit E.V.O. I know from the intro it'll turn into over the top Just Cause X Sharknado, but for now it's actually pretty spiffy in the beginning.
The fighting of other fish is violent, reminds me of playing Ancestors: Humankind Odyssey.
It looks pretty decent on X1X even without 4k/HDR. Water looks nice, and your shark looks pretty awesome.
First area has collectibles (which look like they require Sea World-esque tricks to get), caches, quests, hunts ("named" fish/creatures), and probably a boss I'm guessing.
Your equivalent of detective vision is special bio shark sonar.
Is it worth 40 bucks?
god i loved the street sharks when i was little, i had all the toys collectionI don't feel bad buying it on an impulse lockdown buy.
I'd say it's definitely worth playing, just a matter of how long you'd want to wait. If you can wait, do that.
It actually starts off a bit slow, which I actually like since it fits the Jaws kinda thing. Aside from the intro which gives you a taste of what it turns into.
I mean it's a game where you play as a shark and can evolve/upgrade bodyparts. You can 'Knife' just under the water for speed/quick travel and to get away. Can jump out of the water like a dolphin/whale. Grab things in your jaws and shake them to death. It does feel nice, reminds me of older games they used to make when there was more variety.
I know it's too early yet, but I'll leave this here for now to hopefully give it the official seal of approval:

Then fun definitely comes later once you're upgraded and you can breach out of the water like Free Willy with a diver in your jaws then tail slap grand slam him into the Sunset. Yes, you can do that.
When I read Maneater I thought of this
