Baggie , to Games in Ubisoft Excited To Let You Know Prince Of Persia Remake Is Still Years Away

Honestly to God, while I get wanting to play an updated version of games you love, I played through the original trilogy off of gog a few months ago, and they have stood up remarkably well. I can't help but see all of this as a bit silly.

Not sure how to feel about this

My knee jerk reaction is that the rumors I heard that the game isn't in a good place might be more then rumors. That sucks, I was really excited for this one, I hope it turns out great.

So 'best' = 'most profitable'
Gotcha

My guess is that the game gets really repative because that is kinda the Tyranid style. Waves and waves of teeth and claws. Maybe some variations, but how long can you send swarms of the same guy before its boring.

I guess Vermintide and 40k version (can't remember name) make it work but they are very different games.

The prequel had mostly orks in the beginning, but they sprinkled in some other enemies later on. So I assume they'll do something similar here.

Gene stealers, Lictors, a carnifex here or there.

Tyranids can have plenty of variety if you are familiar with the full breadth of their forces.

Dark Tide hardly works. The "cultists" that are everywhere are usually chaos and die to a stern glare. The game has serious grind problems. The over-the-top waves of 40k make for really boring gameplay.

Good thing I am a patient gamer.

I had the same thought.

This is not a good sign.

Is that not the purpose of a beta? That doesn't seem like a good sign.

ChicoSuave ,

Traditional, pre-2006, beta tests were bug hunts in feature complete software. Then public beta tests became a thing that rapidly evolved into marketing for a finished game. Most public betas don't see any bugs fixed on launch.

Not just marketing, they're often also a load test for the networking infrastructure. Not much change to actual gameplay though.

It says the beta was to test multiplayer so hopefully that means the PvP multiplayer mode and not the campaign co-op mode. If so, I’m fine with that; the pvp mode looked interesting but that’s not what I’m really buying it for.

This game is fucked

Oh so they’re just going to do beta testing on the users anyways, just after release…
