[OverHeat]

Noooooo!!!!

 

[nkill20]

Hardly a surprise, they've barely talked about it.

 

[Hookshot]

Nooo! I was looking forward to the diverse cast of characters.

 

[viveks86]

Shocking news! So… new trailer next week confirmed?

 

[Hideous Snake]

Not surprised at all. They've been dead silent about it since reveal

 

[Certinty]

Can't say i'm surprised.

They showed that amazing trailer with very little gameplay and then disappeared.

Really hope this game ends up being good.

 

[Abysse]

We haven't seen any ganeplay so far, even scam games manage to show gameplay. What the hell is going on?

 

[Gambit2483]

This reminds me of Fable showing PRE-ALPHA footage and then announce a delay to 2026

Is this the new move for games stuck in development hell?

 

[R3TRO]

I didn't even know it was a 2025 release…

 

[Punished Miku]

More time to forget Brave New World makes sense.

 

[Kuranghi]

Is this the one with the bridge fight?

 

[viveks86]

Is this the one with the bridge fight?

Yes

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Aw man guess we have to wait til next year to see this bomb

 

[adamsapple]

I didn't even know it was a 2025 release…

It was one of those 'quietly listed for 2025' game without any concrete release date for a while.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Probably a good idea. Delay it until the day that someone magically gives a fuck about the rise of Hydra in 1943.

They would have much better luck inventing a time machine, going back in time and release it when Winter Soldier came out.

 

[mckmas8808]

Hardly a surprise, they've barely talked about it.

We've barely seen the game.

 

[tkscz]

Have they've shown any actual gameplay for this game or has it been cinematic trailers only?

 

[Success]

Let Amy cook, one of the best game directors out there.


The graphics are unreal with this one.

 

[Spyxos]

I had no idea it was supposed to release this year.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Soon cancelled or doa.

 

[Salz01]

I kind of want to see more of this. Hopefully they show more for dead E3 season.

 

[Fbh]

I had forgotten this was even a thing lol.
Yeah makes sense given how radio silent they've been since release

 

[Imtjnotu]

amy hasnt done shit since 2011.

everything shes touched since then has been BOOTY CHEEKS.

 

[Success]

amy hasnt done shit since 2011.

Give more detail on what she has done after Uncharted.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Outside of this being a tech showpiece, I don't expect much. Hopefully we get more gameplay than Hellblade 2

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I didn't even know this project existed.

When is TMNT Last Ronin coming out?

 

[VanCityGamer]

Give more detail on what she has done after Uncharted.

Exactly.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Fair or unfair, Naughty Dog became exponentially better after she left. Not that she was the problem, but it doesn't make her great either

 

[L*][*N*K]

Cool with it

 

[Schmendrick]

I gotta say I had forgotten about this game completely until this thread popped up.
So I guess I´m ok with waiting

 

[Darsxx82]

The delay was something that was clear that it would be announced.... As in many recent cases (GTA VI, Fable etc.) I hope that this announcement comes accompanied by new material or gameplay footage.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Give more detail on what she has done after Uncharted.

Writer for Battlefield Hardline. one of the worst battlefield games ever.

Directed a Canceled Starwars game.

helped with the story on forspoken.

 

[GymWolf]

This has all the chances of beating hb2 for best playable tech demo graphic of this gen.

 

[Braag]

I didn't even know this project existed.

When is TMNT Last Ronin coming out?

I think that's being developed by Black Forest Games which got their staff cut in half recently. I'd be surprised if we see that game actually get released. With luck, they'll just make it a smaller game (AA) and maybe get it out the door.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Fair or unfair, Naughty Dog became exponentially better after she left. Not that she was the problem, but it doesn't make her great either

She gave us Uncharted 1, 2, and 3.

uncharted is now dead, and now we have to deal with druckman.

ND is a shell of any former self

 

[saintjules]

Noooooo!!!!

But seriously, didn't expect this game to hit the 2025 window.

 

[DelireMan7]

Never heard about it xD

 

[Embearded]

I might be completely wrong here, but it feels wrong for a Marvel game to be in development for 5+ years with UE5 with only 1 trailer to show so far.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

You can argue from a story perspective, I guess. Uncharted 4, TLOU1 and 2 are all great tho. All nominated for GOTY, with TLOU2 Winning.

I put her in the same boat as Leslie Benzies. He was a long time Rockstar exec and his next game Mindseye is about to release. Looks mediocre af. It's pretty much always silly to get excited about a game because of 1 person. Game development is about the studio. Amy Hennig was a lead writer for Forspoken for christ sake. Don't get the hype

 

[Ar¢tos]

Who?

 

[amigastar]

Not surprised, honestly.

What the hell are we doing here..... are we agreeing?

i really said she hasnt done shit in the last 14 years, and youre trying to prove me right or wrong lol?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

amy hasnt done shit since 2011.

Was going to say, love how those with agendas are so obvious. I knew people would be in here giving Amy a pass on this but one of their major complaints is Naughty Dog not releasing things quickly enough...

Same pass that Fumito Ueda gets...

It's crazy how/why some people end up with pure unbridled hatred and others get a complete pass. It almost always comes down to who people have decided they hate personally.

 

[IAmRei]

is it because recent wave of changes of culture wars in all sectors, or is it because something technical? i saw some delays recently

Amy wasn't a lead writer for Forspoken. That game was heavily rebooted midway through development. She's credited with story concept, what ultimately ended up in the game is VERY different from what she and some other writers came up with at the beginning of development.

And Amy Hennig is responsible not only for Uncharted, but for the Legacy of Kain games. If you've ever seen/played them you'd know that those games have AMAZING FUCKING WRITING, even back then on the PS1 days. So yeah, get off that horse, she's really talented and it's not a fluke.
