MindsEye - An Update from the Studio

Build A Rocket Boy: "Dear Community,

As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback.

To follow up on our update yesterday, we are sharing insights and actions from the past 24 hours at the studio.

We are heartbroken that not every player was able to experience the game as we intended. Our priority is optimizing performance and stability so that every player, across every device, can enjoy an equally high-quality experience."

"We are heartbroken that not every player was able to experience the game as we intended".

Who would have experienced the game as intended? No one! Just not a good game.

[Tacoboto]

"Any" player would've been more appropriate

The game just isn't good.

It's always very curious when a game releases in this shape , and the studio says they're sad people didn't have a good experience. I mean, you released the game like this. You knew what it was before you sent it out to the wild. So what could you actually expect. Were you hoping people just wouldn't notice. Or maybe thought they would just ignore the glaring issues.

They sure cranked up the advertising to 11 leading up to its release, all the while knowing the game was broken/not good. Now they apologize as if they didn't see this coming, as if they didn't know the state the game was in.

"We are heartbroken that not every player was able to experience the game as we intended. "

Yeah...you absolutely knew it was this way, but you released it anyway. Save us the pandering.

[coolfool]

"knew it was this way"
I can't work out how this could be true yet it is. If they knew it to be true what did they think would happen by releasing it?

[Chocoburger]

The executives forced the game to come out unfinished, no different than other broken games throughout history, from Sonic 2006, to Redfall, to Assassin's Creed Unity, to whatever else you can think of. If the development team had their way, the game wouldn't be out yet, but they don't control the money, and thus they don't control the release date. Always keep that in mind(seye).

[C-H-E-F]

LOL, the fact that they THINK the bugs are what makes the game bad.
The voice acting was horrible, gameplay felt like a rip off of watch dogs and a horrible iteration of a rip off. The story was horrible until the end, i'm not going to lie it got interesting at the end then it ends abruptly LOL.

You cannot have a cliffhanger when 95% of your game is bland.

[Stevonidas]

“We are heartbroken that not every player was able to experience the game as we intended.“

MF, you CHOSE to release the game in this state…

[PRIMORDUS]

If there were bugs and performance issues then why release the game? I mean that's a half assed job, delay your game until it's ready. I wish more companies would take the old ID Software answer, when is the game launching? "When it's done"

[Profchaos]

experience the game as we intended

The arrogance here they knowingly released the game a broken mess this was their intention.

They had two choices launch or not they probably wanted this tk get out there make a few dollars and be largely ignored.

Leslie Benzies - fall on thy sword!

[TheColbertinator]

Benzies screwed up. He should have joined with Volition because he could have saved Saints Row

[anast]

Y'all knew you were releasing what you did.

[Inverno]

Unreal 5 is one hell of an engine, one that will unfortunately give rise to many graphically intensive games without the need of talent to get there. You could tell in the trailers, that distinct Unreal Engine look and feel. As if they just used the default TPS template and worked their way from there. Look at all the backrooms or body cam games. They all look amazing, especially when they're mostly made by a single dev, but they have one thing in common and it's that they run like shite. The talent isn't there, and with so many features baked in to the engine by default not much effort is needed either.

[CrimsonWing69]

You knew what you were doing and still pushed it out. No demo, no review codes, why? Because you wanted to take advantage of every sale you could’ve and that shows a lack of any sort of integrity. That’s absolutely scummy.

Consumers aren’t stupid, PR bullsh*t isn’t going to work. The product speaks for itself.

[sjr]

the irony of saying they are 'transparent' lol

[SoloGamer1]

" not EVERY player was able to experience the game as we intended" NO player was able to experience the game as intended...just let the game die...there's no recovering from that dumpster fire...Build A Rocket Boy is NOT CDPR.
and even if they patch the game for a year, the foundation of the game is boring and bland, and the writing is atrocious.

[Fresh9910]

I have the game and i wish i could get my $ back.

[Dxnger2322]

You know that’s crazy that been trying to return the game in PlayStation store and they been trying to say that i’m a liar and they haven’t seen no bad news of this game, and they dont want to refund the game, Just because of that, I’m thinking switching to Xbox again in xbox I never had this problem. They always have a solution and every time game was broken. They were refunded with no Problem.

[Turbulence]

They all know what they did, this game is a scam, I could buy a 1 dollar candy and eating it alone would be more enjoyable they playing this game for free.

The devs show their utterly lack of care by the fact the first (or second, not sure) car you get to drive doesn't move it's wheels, really XD, this game is great only as a huge joke in its awful dialog, awful narrative, awful gameplay, and awful AI, it's like this game has just begun development lol
