Though Deus Ex introduced the idea over ten years ago, seeing an amalgamation of the shooter (third and first person) genre’s happening more often may help stem the tide of creative bankruptcy.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted some gameplay from the retro game.
The best Souls-like not made by FromSoftware, Lies of P has now sold over three million copies since its 2023 release.
To celebrate, all members of the Round8 Studio development team will be rewarded with a two-week holiday, a bonus of 10 million KRW (~£5,400 / $7,300), and a Nintendo Switch 2.
I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.
This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.
For the moment there, I thought Lies of P will be ported to Switch 2. XD Anyway, congratulations to Round8 and the whole development team.

Deus Ex HR i love that game, the best fps singleplayer ever imo:-)Peace:-)
while we love to bash mass effect, it has added elements that have helped point out how the standard shooter could evolve. Now i am bias because i am an rpg fan and i like substance to my games. I get bored if i am not given alot of freedom and customization and carrots to yearn for. Now mass effect did begin as an rpg and i wish it had evolved in that direction but it fell into a time dominated by shooters and followed suitbecoming very successful in the process. Now, the silver lining may be that other shooters can do the same. I am not telling other rpgs to follow this path, just shooters. Games like ME and bioshock hav proven that they can hav great substanative fleshed out sps also. Deus exvis a phenomonal example. My second fav game last year, though i havnt finished batman. I cant wait for the next one. My worry is that it may go more streamline.
So, shooters can learn alot from rpgs. Rpgs can learn too, as i found me3 much better to control and i loved the multiplayer. And while shooters will never abandoned their core, rpgs must not either.
I play BF3 a lot, but I hope that the focus next gen will be on OTHER types of genre's too--Things the current gen didn't do well: Like MMO's (imagine every genre being seen in an mmo--FPS mmo, mmorpg's, etc).
rpg/upgrade/perk type mechanics saved fps gaming for me
i was getting burnt out on serious sam/quake/doom type games
now it's fun to go back to a game like that occasionaly like the excellent and AMAZING looking Hard Reset, but man, the proverbial carrot/mmo trick really gets me into a game
upgrades ftw
leveling ftw
sockets ftw
diablo 3 will be goty though, no first person game, or any other, matters this year, or will compare to the epicness that is Diablo 3! Only 22 hours to go!
