Allot of talk and nothing to show....

Show us the game running on a PC at various settings and we can talk again.

Kreisen3440d ago

Im assuming its becouse they got a deal with MS, they cant actively promote the game on any other platform. Kinda like with Destiny.

_LarZen_3440d ago

Yeah I read something about that...

But I think I heard that next week the embargo is off. And they can start showing PC and PS4 footage.

Could be remembering wrong...guess we find out next week :P

@_LarZen_

Bit late then as we'll be seeing the game ourselves next week when we play the beta on 29th.

These embargoes are pathetic. Only a company with no confidence in their product enforces embargoes.

Typical Microsoft stunt though.

OoglyBoogly3440d ago

Is that why the 4K bullshots that were released just a couple days ago have basically already been proven as fake? People are starting to play the PC beta and the game doesn't even look like those shots!

All I hear from these people are bullshit and more bullshit. The game was downgraded. Stuff is gone, map is smaller, a lot of the more advanced graphical effects are gone, physics have been dumbed down, no companion tablet app, etc. Just come out and say it and quit acting like you people kept to your word.

PC beta doesn't start until January 28th... Why not wait until more then a handful of earlier players get to try it and find out what features purposely aren't in the beta because well it's a beta and not the final release.

OoglyBoogly3440d ago

Do you know what a beta is? It's basically the finished product that's tested for bugs and server load, etc. The game is a little over a month away from releasing. If you thing there's going to be some dramatic changes to the graphics you're only fooling yourself.

Not to mention the fact that BECAUSE it's a beta there's no reason why they would hold back so many features and graphical upgrades because you want to test EVERYTHING and make sure it's all stable for release.

So, no, there is not going to be major or even minor changes to the graphics from now til release.

forager3439d ago

Doesn't PC start the 29th?

Kreisen3440d ago

Heres a link to a site which features some screenshots of the actual PC built running on ultra settings.

It looks nothing like those bullshots......

OoglyBoogly3440d ago

And what's so goddamn pathetic about it is that they release those shots so close to the release and even closer to the beta AS IF people won't freaking notice! Oh here's some 4K PC screenshots on Ultra settings! We won't mention all the Photoshopping they went through though!

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Stopac4h ago

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

anast9h ago

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac4h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

anast2h ago

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

PapaBop7h ago

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac4h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
