The Hunt: Showdown upgrade to CryEngine 5.11 drops this Aug. 15! Players can expect "a mountain of new content" throughout summer of 2024.
Despite its server issues, UI problems, and high-rank toxicity, when you look at what it gets right, Hunt: Showdown is a masterpiece.
Never understood the praise for this game. While I'm sure it feels better with mouse and keyboard, on console the controls are clunky and unsatisfying, the gameplay loop is repetitive, and you spend an inordinate amount of time in menus and loading screens. There are also like 3-4 in game currency systems, and the game is loaded with microtransactions (which of course Crytek gets a pass on because they aren't EA or Ubisoft).
MP1st talks to Crytek about Hunt: Showdown's success, future title updates, inspiration behind weapons and more.
Hunt Showdown's success and longevity is due to the devs listening to the community, title updates and reacting to feedback, says Crytek.
Hunt: Showdown is really underrated ...
Crytek has done fantastic job with the development and support
Good, listen to the community with Crysis 4 too and make something like the original game and warhead in terms of interactivity and destruction/ physics etc
why not combine all things from the series with one open world game?
and don't forget the bow!
So in other words, the opposite of the approach taken by the Last Year developers.
Can't wait ... the already good lookin' game'll look even better!
