  • @adamloga3788
    @adamloga3788 Год назад +572

    You know, hearing Yahtzee talk about this, it's clear that there was potential in this project. It obviously was set up well in the beginning, and vampires having human minions to do the grunt work has been used on and off again since Bram Stoker's Dracula. Hell, even the idea of having to switch which weapons you're using between killing humans and vampires is an interesting idea, though a stake launcher is going to wreck a human's day pretty bad, but maybe if they'd made the human focused weapons do minimal damage to vamps or let the vamps regenerate anything except "Anti-Vampire" whereas the vamp weapons should mostly work on people but be harder to use and/or refill ammo. That could have had some interesting game play, but instead we got something so easy that a game reviewer who has to finish within a week cranked up the difficulty just to feel SOMETHING. I hope that most of this concept-drop the multiplayer-can be revisited by someone who gives a shot, because this could have been a really good way to make players feel like a modern Van Helsing.

      A stake launcher might be good against humans and vampires alike, but that can be solved by lowering it's fire rate and range. Burn it on a human and his friends have plenty of time to counter.

    • @Rendo86

      That's a big problem fighting vampires in most media. they seem to make them a hyperbolically more of a threat than they are. Yeah sure a stake will knock one down, but the real problem is they get up eventually. Killing a Vampire is a bit more involved and the only surefire way is to cut off the head. The Bram Stoker novel even the say(it does not happen....funny that).

      @@onhold1706 I thought Hollowman was the best boss fight in the game. yeah at the start it's Hide and Shoot, but then he unleashes the butterflys that circle the arena and you can't do that anymore.
      the last bossfight was a joke. you have two characters that basically completely invalidate the entire fight, I played the lady with the robot and you can just tell the robot to distract everyone in the area while you push the button.
      my friend played the stealth guy and he had the same experience.
      but even if you didn't play either of those characters you've already had that bossfight dozens of times because the boss fight is just a slightly harder vamp nest where they throw in that lightning chump you've been ganking for half the game.

    • @pandyssianrat
      @pandyssianrat Год назад +38

      Most of Arkane's staff is still intact. There has only been like 3 key people who have left the studio.
      The creative directors for this game were the creative directors/leads for Deus Ex 1 and 2, Dishonored 1 + DLCs, Dishonored 2 and Prey + DLCs. The art director was the lead level architect from Prey. Many of the level designers are also from the Deus Ex and Bioshock teams and have been working on Arkane projects since Dishonored.
      I think Arkane Austin will be back in shape for their next game as this project seems to be Bethesda's "let's make multiplayer" project. First was Wolfenstein Youngblood, then Fallout 76 and now, Redfall.

    • @SteeZy644

      I disagree. Honestly I think their recent batch of mid is an attempt to recoup costs. Dishonored and Prey are acclaimed games, but not very commercially successful.
      So Deathloop and this are attempts to retain their flavor of shooter while being commercial and they aren’t working that well.

      I never cared about Dishonored in the first place (and Prey 2017 didn't feel like it had much staying power or character) so I didn't have any stakes with Arkane. Then I saw what a nothingburger Deathloop was and immediately chucked them in the "marketers, not game designers" category. This pretty much confirms that.

      I think he gets annoyed when everyone TELLS him to shit on a game. You know, the easy targets like this and Balan and whatnot. I imagine he resents the obligation of it all. Plus, when everyone has already insulted a game, it's harder to come up with your own jokes for it.

    I guarantee you this was a project that Austin was working on in the margins of all the other games they have been working on; like this was never meant to be a game, it just sort of happened, where the side-work reached critical mass, then they said, "Hey, can we put the finishing touches on this thing?" they got told "no" and then it was taken and sold as a finished product.

    1:24 it’s sad because while no recent games have done so, borderlands 2 did it epically.
    More enemies and elites show up and enemies get slightly tougher, but not spongy enough to detract from the experience.
    It is that… conceptually… easy.
    Now I’m not sure how mechanically hard it is but considering they had AAA at their backs, Arkane shouldn’t have had any difficulty doing that!

  • @xsanguine8

    Then it must not only be optimized for multiplayer but also for cloud gaming, because the enemies were plentiful and frustratingly competent, when I played this on my last-gen console. The world seemed empty, until I tried to *go* anywhere, there were squads of five or six guys on every path and vampires would pop out of nowhere when I aggroed them, and then I couldn't get a shot in with three or four vampires blinking about, enough to make me think my game was crashing.

    I will admit, I am surprised. I have spent this whole time assuming they were gonna do the whole "we are like No Man's sky! Just give us a bit of time" but from what I have seen this is it. They haven't released a statement "Yeah we know it's not what we wanted, but just wait". It has been radio silence. I really think they are done, this was somehow supposed to be awesome. It's funny to go back and watch them stream the game and pretend to be all hyped about someone obviously boring and stupid. For transparency I don't think "we will fix it later" is an acceptable thing, I just figured it was the new norm in this day and age.
