Hopefully its a better game than Campus was. I loved Hospital, but I just couldn’t get into Campus. There was a lot of sitting around just waiting for things to complete and wasn’t as fast-paced. Some people liked the slower pace, but I did not.

Technically not game news but I can’t post in the Nintendo thread so may as well share it here

More info on Shadows. I can’t decide whether I think it looks bland or promising. Having the characters actually be different is cool and the environments look beautiful.

I’ve had a very bad feeling about this but this gameplay honestly look good. I’m optimistic about it now. I’ll probably play it anyway due to nostalgia lol.

A lot of these changes are weird and locking Beetlejuice behind a premium currency paywall despite saying he would be free at launch literally yesterday is kinda scummy


Gamescom is already great

Civ 7 trailer dropped. Feels like they combined 5’s realistic style with 6’s use of colour which is pretty good I guess. Loved some of the wonders they showed especially Borobudur and the Palacio de Belles Artes

There has been a rumor for some time now that we might get to play as Salieri

Interesting. So after some 15 years, we´re finally gonna get that big open Sicily level in a Mafia game after all :grin:

Two things I´m wondering from the teaser:

  1. The fact that they use the ´The Old Country´ subtitle instead of calling it Mafia IV - does this indicate it is a sort-of spin-off rather than a mainline game? (also, why is the font different again?)
  2. If it´s going to be set entirely in the early 20th (or maybe even late 19th) century, there will be very minimal if any presence of cars (even if it´s the 1920s, I wouldn´t expect to see more than a handful in Sicily). How´s the open world traversal going to look like? Or have there been any rumours about it jumping between two different timelines? Edit: Just noticed on the game´s Steam page that there is a screenshot featuring a car. Still, I expect them to be few and far between.

Either way, I´m rather excited for this one.

Looks… okay I guess? They really seem to be taking the “make it as much as the RE remakes” route. Tbh, I´ve never played the original (or any SH game for that matter), and I do wanna try this, but it would be nice if alongside the remake they also re-released the old games like they did with MGS.

I don’t mind them taking notes from RE. The originals were also seen as direct competitors with a larger emphasis on psychological horror. Nothing new there.
If you’ve never played it and don’t know the story, I urge you to avoid spoilers (this includes the official trailers) and experience it first hand. The story is amazing. :slight_smile:
Well, maybe not as amazing now as when I played it as a kid. Back then, this type of story was unheard of in games.

Yeah a re-release would be appreciated.

Hey look @Silvereyes!!

Player 2, Harry Hawker, finally gets his own starring-role video game!*

Pretty interesting reveal. I’m guessing it’s DLC that ballooned too big, so they’ve made it its own game, while Rebellion most likely works on a new engine for SE6 which will most likely come out eventually lol

*(the context here is that we both laugh after every single Sniper Elite co-op level, since the Exit cutscene always shows Karl fairburne leave the area, alone, with no help. ‘Harry Hawker’ is his off-screen right-hand man from one of the entries, but is the playable Player Two [with his own awful british accent voice over] who never got any credit… until now!!! :laughing:)

Also:

Sniper Elite: Resistance Game Features:

  • Epic standalone campaign
  • Trademark X-ray Kill Cam
  • Advanced gunplay physics
  • New Propaganda Missions
  • Authentic World War II weapons and customisation
  • Fan favourite Invasion Mode (yaaayy)
  • Tense online multiplayer modes

It’s so funny, before Gamescom ONL yesterday I was joking that I was hoping for an announcement for a new Hitman or Sniper Elite, and I thought that was super unrealistic. Literally ten minutes later Rebellion dropped the trailer. :joy:

I’m still a tiny bit disappointed that it’s not SE6, but that would’ve been insane. I’ll take SER to tide me over, but I will miss Karl. Here’s hoping we can unlock him or at least play as him in side modes… :crossed_fingers:
