Now Is The Time For Hello Games To Talk

ScreenGurus Louise explores why she believes Hello Games needs to break their silence - or risk gaming history showing them in a negative light.

A little too late

Maybe they already did talk? I suspect that email polygon received from them is the real deal. It does not read like something a hacker would write

[fenome]

I don't mind if they kept quiet as long as they're working on the base building and other improvements. People already have their torches lit and they'll just get jumped on no matter what they say. Too much talk is pretty much what got them into this position in the first place.

[subtenko]

they need to tell us wat they are working on now...the latest update was "customer service"

[fenome]

That's true, they do need to let us know what they're working on in the next update and give us some sort of release window. When I said I wouldn't mind if they kept quiet I was more talking about trying to explain what happened with the base game and why the community turned on them. It's time to stop beating a dead horse, dust themselves off and turn this thing back around.

They've got a great platform to improve upon now, hopefully they stick it out.

They don't need to answer for what has happened. What's done is done, the game is already out for all to judge.

What they need to answer to is what they'll be doing to make it right to everyone who purchased a copy. What kind of single player content will they be releasing (presumably free of charge) to their player base? What's their short term goal for the game, what are their long term goals? What they're going to do is more important right now than the woulda shoulda coulda excuses and media beratement of which serves no purpose other than to degrade and dissuade further development on an impressive "base" game. They need to look ahead, not behind. Great things lie ahead if they persevere

[subtenko]

they they need to speak on this at this point. if all they are gonna be doing is stability updates im not playing this game a again, even tho I had interesting times at first. I dont wanna put time in something Im gonna expect changes in and they dont come

[mogwaii]

Goodbye games.

Waaaaay too late for that

[BioDead]

There was about 27-32 things that was NOT in the final game. It just not like a few things was missing, the whole idea and all those details what made the game whole experience was totally removed in final version. The enviroment did not look NOTHING like from those trailers/showcases what that LIAR showed us. It is very obvious that this scam was planned from the very beginning and all those lies/expectations was calculated carefully. Now that Sean Murray is 40-50 million richer he can leave the country and start new life other side of the world. All this "we are currently working on updates..." -tweets are BS. They just collecting as much time as they can so they can shut down the Hello Games -studio, share the money with all its 12 employees and dissapear. Hopefully gamers won't pre-order anything in the future until the review of the final game is available.

[BioDead]

It is virtually impossible them to add all the things they needed to add. And make the game look like it was in the trailers/fake gameplay videos. And their studio of 12 employees it would take at least 5-7 years to fulfill the promises. Not talking about the size of the patch/update... maybe something like 50-60GB. Simply I dont believe they can make a patch that would complete 85% of the game.
