Definitely watching this game will morbid curiosity because I suspect the game will be a mess and massively criticised by professional reviewers due to the state of the game at launch. When a game launches with no pre-release build up or hype, just an overwhelmingly negative hands-off preview, then I have to ask myself who would be foolish enough to buy this game at launch, never mind pre-order it.
This is a £54.99 game on Steam so I would expect it to be polished and complete at launch personally. I heard that this game is being released to meet a contractual deadline which doesn't bode well for the quality of the game because that means that it isn't being released because it is actually... well... finished!
The cutscenes do look good from what I've seen but those alone do not carry a game and from what I've read and seen it is the core mechanics of the game that are lacking along with tons of bugs, plus very bad performance on PS5, even PS5 Pro. If the game by some miracle turns out to be a rough diamond then I will just wait a few months and pick it up in a Steam Sale assuming it has been patched to fix most of the bugs.

I suspect that MindsEye on PC is going to be a s-s-s-s-st-stuttering disaster because it is using Unreal Engine 5 and as we all know PC is usually the last format to get optimisation and bug passes over the consoles. And if the console versions aren't great then the signs are not good.
I would strongly suggest that anyone interested in this game hold off buying it for now - do NOT pre-order it - but wait until the reviews are out and you can see YouTube videos of the release version before you decide whether to buy it. You do not owe the publishers anything after all so you really should not be pre-ordering any game in my opinion. It's not like you are not going to be able to buy a copy post-release!

Actual game looks like a train crash more than the train wreck I was expecting. Performance issues and jank will be the main problems rather than the game being basically vaporware.
Everything else around the game seems like a full on train wreck though.

There are OTs for all semi-major releases on release day. If there is no one willing to make the effort for MINDSEYE, you can tell something is wrong.
Probably runs at 720P + upscaling instead of 540P

I Checked out the leaks for this game, and it looks like a 5/10 at best.
The gameplay feels like it's straight out of a decade-old game – purely linear, just going from point A to point B with no fluff or anything extra. Most missions are either drone segments or third-person shooting, it's dull as dishwater. Moreover, it appears that during missions, you're confined to the vehicle or restricted to rigid paths. Free exploration of the open world is only possible in a separate mode.
The city feels tiny – you could drive clear across it in under a minute. The map looks like a mash-up of the Saints Row reboot and Watch Dogs, but worse. The streets are a ghost town – not a single NPC in sight, let alone any random events
The characters are loaded with DEI checkboxes – your boss is the stereotypical 'strong' ugly bald black woman, very obnoxious. And most of the female NPC look like they're pushing 60. bc apparently male gaze BAD.

The OT is up. Please relegate all ignorance and shit piling to here -
What is MindsEye?
MindsEye is a linear third-person action-adventure game from first time studio Build A Rocket Boy and first time third party publisher IO Interactive. The player assumes control of Jacob Diaz (Alex Hernandez/Lincoln Clay from Mafia 3), a former soldier with a neural implant, known as the MindsEye. Suffering from memory loss and flashbacks, he heads towards the fictional desert metropolis of Redrock, where he aims to discover the secrets behind this implant.
Release Date: June 10...

The pc and ps5 versions have the patch.
Seems like Xbox cert is just slow.
Its not an open world game like GTA or SR. Its a linair story with the world as a backdrop ala Mafia 2.I want this to be good because one, we really don't get many of these kind of games anymore and when they do they are dog shit, see latest Saints Row. Two, GTA in a sci-fi setting? LFG.
However, the more I see, the more I think.....this ain't it fam.

I was talking about the "too good to fail" syndrome, especialy with veteran from prestige studios.
The guys refusing to admit they made an unfinished average game, blaming "paid negative reviews" is hilarious...

I don't think it is. I'd never heard of it until recently.
Some people are losing their minds over this game on here though. I really don't understand why

Yes, it was. Two years ago Benzies was hyping the projects as the next major step in user created content tools (Everywhere) and triple-A episodic content (MindsEye). They secured major investor funding (primarily NetEase) and the studio ballooned to over 400 people in four locations.
Let me make it clear that I'm not out here wishing for it to fail, but people need to know what this game was supposed to be before they decide to buy what was ultimately released.

I don't know Leslie benzies. Apparently people were fans before this game. Again never heard of this game before this week and only learned of it from neo.
Was it big in PC circles cause on consoles I'd heard nothing about it

Lazlow isnt working on any videogame right now, they are doing a sort of audio fiction series. Which is A Better Paradise. Him and Dan Houser
There are plenty of shitty clickbait videos.
It's most certainly not a 'trainwreck'.
I have no idea who or what Benzies is, maybe that's why I never heard of it.
Edit: Oh ex Rockstar, that explains it. I don't care for their games.
Thanks for giving me the rundown though.

Where's all the day one reviews? Still nothing on metacritic.
They really gunning for as many blind sales to gamers as possible before reviews come out. lol
