Shadows of the Damned is unquestionably a game designed for the core demographic. Right at the start, after the rewarding of your decision to purchase the game but before any gameplay has even begun, the player is asked to choose their control method and aiming speed from a menu that offers no indication of what the result of your decisions will be. You’re expected to know how fast you like your reticule to move based upon the force you apply to the right analog stick, and are also expected to know to what degree that would be on an the entire scale of screen resolution to analog pressure. This is not a game that can be played for thirty minutes during an evening once a week, it’s a game intended to be played for several hours on consecutive evenings, and is so compelling that it’s a fight to resist from doing so.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.
I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.
Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.
Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.
Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.
Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
fair score :) great game!
Seems to be getting great scores across the board. The lowest I've seen is "7" so far.
I had zero interest in this game whatsoever until I started reading all the positive reviews. So I went to gamestop this morning and decided to pick it up. Man and I'm glad I did. The game is really great guys. And to think I almost missed out on this great, but weird game.
