In a recent interview with Game Rant, developer Build a Rocket Boy gave us a peak behind the curtain of MindsEye's development.
Early copies of MindsEye are out in the wild, and the first player impressions suggest that the game suffers from major technical issues.
The company did issue a warning, that these copies are without crucial day 1 patches and will run into issues.
Not saying the game's gonna be good, just stating a fact.
i miss the days when u bought a game and it was playable, had next to no bugs and didnt need a day one patch ha
I miss the days when they didn't hold back a portion of the game to sell you later as DLC
Come to the dark side of PC gaming, young Padawan.
We have foregone plastic media for a long time, and we have more cookies to offer newcomers.
Simpler life .... more delicious cookies to enjoy.
Most games these days have issues at launch. But not having the day one patch it is obvious that there will be more issues.
I wanted this to be good, because the initial trailers reminded me of 90s styled techno/cyberpunk thrillers like Johnny Mnemonic, Freejack, Strange Days and so on. Even a bit of Neuromancer in the way it's sci-fi but not at all Blade Runner. I love that stuff, grounded realistic sci-fi.
But then you get all the reports of a bad work enviroment, the nft spin-off platform and the broken guided previews. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. But I hope it's atleast decent, even if it seems unlikely.
The Chief Legal Officer and Chief Financial Officer at MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy have left the company, a week before the game's release.
No but these are the guys that can afford to move roles when things are not looking good
Supposed to get long term post launch support .... guess that's becoming a big question mark now
Hopefully it's akin to finding new projects rather than foreboding I'm seeing
any person that respects himself would wait till after the game launches with doing that if it's actually a good game.
Not sure about the captain but the saying about rats and sinking ships certainly comes to mind.
These aren't even the people responsible for making the game. What a misleading headline.
With the release of MindsEye approaching, we take a look at several elements of MindsEye and ask what exactly is going on here.
Not much positive unfortunately and I had high hopes for this one when it got announced.
Also seems that two execs of build a rocket boy have quite just before the games launch.
They are ultra defensive claiming there's a smear campaign going on fuelled by bots and all sort of stuff.
It may be the weirdest release in some time
I think there is a degree of unable to fulfill the full potential of the promise I would be able to accept in here, but so much of the behind-the-scenes situation has called even that into question.
I hope there is something good in this, but I have to agree on weirdest. I feel like so much of this is poised to just be absurd, and when elements like those promised here go wrong, they tend to go REALLY wrong, REALLY fast.
It looks interesting to me, if the game gets mostly 7s & up in reviews I will buy day one.
I'm happy to be proven wrong but something just seems off. The main character isn't very interesting and it just has a generic feel from what I've seen so far. That said, hopefully it is actually great. If so I will play it and be the first to admit I was wrong.
There wa just nothing I’ve seen that turned me on to it. I don’t think it looks horrible though. However, it’s a pass for me.
It looks decent to me. It's just the fact they talk about 10yrs of add-ons. I'm good. That means its a live service game, that they want you to build lol. Developer tools to add anything u want into the game and make different missions or w.e. I just want an entire game on disc, ez pz
That's the thing. Being it was part of Everywhere, which was a live service, and is using the creation tools of Everywhere, are the 10 years of add-ons part of this IP, or are they slowly expanding this IP into Everywhere? It seems like their answers to this are never straightforward either.
The game has been leaked on ps5 already and it’s just as prophesied. Devs are begging ppl to wait until release day for a patch. I remember a time where games didn’t need a day one patch. Good times
