Go to venice beach, Avenue and Beverly hills and run around entire map for 15 minutes. If you on 120hz, show me it doesn't drop below 100fps. If you on 60hz, show me it doesn't drop below 59fps. Show me... oh wait you can't because it runs like crap. It's an engine problem so everyone has them.

@@hornetsilksong It's not necessarily a budget issue (although it can be) but it's the fact that a lot of CGI trailers and high-effort marketing campaigns are made by entirely separate teams, possibly entirely different companies. Their job is to make a good looking trailer, but they might have nothing more than an outline of the project and some concept art to work from. That's why so many trailers and marketing material can be misleading.

As a game journalist myself, it's always nice to see, especially since a lot of readers can be verbally abusive and love claiming the author is an idiot, not realizing their are several editors going over every piece and not always making the best decisions. My editors are great, but I've seen a lot of good folks at other publications get torn a new one over a statement in their article that they were forced to make by an editor who misunderstood the situation.

Dying light 2 had a lot cut from the demo they shown Colonel is practically at epilogue instead of the middle of the game they cut out Elysium a gigantic city with different factions battling it out

@austinbros1000 10 месяцев назад

Nah. Dying Light 2 was solid but a huge downgrade from the first. Meanwhile Dead Island 2 was a super safe and mediocre game that was relatively well polished. Dead Island 2 very much feels like a game that would have been great if it launched in 2013.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth OST at the beginning caught me off guard, in a pleasant way. Only the best taste on this channel. ❤

Matt with that digimon music ❤

@IfYouInsist 11 месяцев назад

I thought I was LOSING MY MIND. I was like what is this song, I know this song but I don’t know why. Checked the video desc for music sources and couldn’t find the ad music. Thank you for shouting this out. Matt’s editor(s) have pretty great taste.

That Dead Rising lobby music...... Good stuff

@maxxpower3d6 9 месяцев назад

Much of the music from this episode comes from Death Road To Canada, which is a terrific game that everyone should try.

And cd projket has said the cyberpunk sequel will move away from the red engine to unreal, can’t wait to see how that goes lmao. Not shitting on cyberpunk though that game is amazing in its current state.

It was kinda funny when I was calling people for their pre-orders because a lot of them forgot they even had pre-ordered the game. I don't blame anybody because some of their pre-orders were placed 10 years prior lmaoo

Very clever having the discussion of "development changing hands" playing over the cutscene where the gun changes hands five times.

@ari-dynamicarchive 11 месяцев назад

I'll never forget the day my sis and I played Dead Island on the PS3 together back when Dead Island 1 was relatively new if not brand new. We even tried to do online co-op as she owned the console herself iirc and tried to do that together. The moment the Dead Island 2 trailer dropped on youtube we were all rearin' to go and ready to pre-order (thankfully we did not lol). For a bomb about to blow up it sure took a looong time!

@UrsaFlare 11 месяцев назад

The fact that BOTH Dead Island games had a decade long dev period speaks volumes of what Deep Silver are like. I'm gunna wait for a sale for this one, I only wanna play it for the co-op so I can wait for it to drop

@noahbenchimol4210 11 месяцев назад

Hey just a heads up, at 25:02 you used the wrong box art. 1-2 Switch came out in 2017, but I assume you were referencing "Everybody 1-2 Switch", the sequel that came out this year.

I guess it's almost time to talk about Dying Light 2? Maybe not as much dev hell as Dead Island 2 but I really thought it was going that direction after seeing the revolving door of people entering and exiting that project. I'm honestly surprised it reviewed well.

We need a video of Dishonored 2, it had a bunch of issues on launch and kinda flopped silently on launch. Same for Deus Ex Mankind Divided.
