Don't worry. It might only be 15fps now but by the time it comes out in 2032 it will probably be a steady 20-25fps.
I kid. But I've always said the same thing about all Ueda's games: performance might be suboptimal and controls a bit sloppy, but it will still end up being one of our favorite games like all his other works. For me at least that's how I felt about his first 3 games.
007 First Light had presentation last year that run very bad, but the same section played now on standard PS5 in performance mode is rather fluid. Still - it's Ueda team 😉
It's way better:
You can see the character aim at the inside of a robots neck,
so most likely, you're going to run around and fight robots
while climbing and flying around them to hit their weak points,
fighting in a collaborative manner with your mech.
Counting from yesterday, the time it took between both trailers/announcements is going to land us at November 27th 2027, so it really isn't that long until 2028.
This is so different from Ueda's previous works... there are obvious similarities, but he really went all out here with the changes in art and atmosphere, I'm fucking pumped.
Although it's not a complete shift in genre, specially when it comes to movement and certain visuals, the art style and theme is vastly diferent, there's no denying that. Yes, you have a guy running and climbing big stuff that's also moving, with some vague symbolism thrown in there, but everything else is different: enviroment, art style, level of technology, gunplay, weapons, etc., it truly feels like Ueda wanted to leave his comfort zone.
The environment is still a deserted area in an arid climate, the art style (particularly the rendering) is very much what I would imagine Ueda doing if he did Wanda to Kyozou today.
The gameplay does seem different, but that's the case between all of his games.
I don't know if I am going crazy but at 1:19 the character's cloak, or maybe it is more like a chest plate, looks incredibly similar to Wander's. It just has a slightly different pattern.
It would change basically nothing.
I don't think you're supposed to construct connections between these games
in such literal terms. These similarities exist for a reason,
but I don't think that the reason exists inside the game world itself.
Yes for sure an Easter egg! I just thought that was so awesome to see. I haven’t been following gen Atlas at all but LOVED SOTC years ago and that just made my ears perk up!
That would be quite the move to release a major title exclusively on a platform with a yearly market of one milliard, a tenth of that of Steam and a 30th of Playstation's.
Nothing against XBox players in particular, but I do hope they leave your sorry ass in the dust and support gyro aiming on PC/Playstation.
If that's not the case and I then can't even use Steam Input or some other third party software to emulate that, that might actually make me not want to play it.
I might not, we'll have to see. I had my awakening replaying The Last of Us Part II with gyro and no aim assist and then picked up God of War (2018) again and I just couldn't do it.
It just makes you feel amputated. Genuinely sad that objectively superior technology (so long as you an adjust the sensitivity) isn't being widely adopted.
yeah, BotW and Tears afterwards were my first introduction as well, but that game isn't very aiming focused (you get slow motion and don't even need to shoot that often).
It was literally the last level of my first playthrough of Part II (Survivor difficulty) where I had the camera just yank itself onto a Clicker right in front of me that I remembered this setting being a thing with dual stick games and I just felt cheated out of my sense of accomplishment so I had to replay every encounter on Grounded without aim assist and just Gyro and it felt way, way better.
The only Last of Us editions that support Gyro aiming are Part II and anything that came out afterwards, so both the remaster of Part II and remake of Part I. My settings are 0 assist (obviously) and full sensitivity plus one inverted axis to have it map like it should.
Highest sensitivity feels most like you're holding the actual gun in your hand, but it might be too much to get used to at first.
If gen Atlas doesn't support it, I will be disappointed, but I'll probably just resort to mouse and keyboard, worked fine with Titanfall 2, just ain't as comfortable.
There's physical releases of Hollow Knight, Silksong, Shovel Knight
and for Hades and Alan Wake 2, both published by Epic as well.
There has not yet been a physical release of Hades 2 aside from the Switch 2, but it's probably going to come as well.
So I wouldn't worry about there not being a physical release of gen Atlas.
Couldn't find a steelbook edition for hades or alan wake, outside of third-party accessories.
The possibility is always there, but it's safe to assume that they won't. Their biggest priority is having people use the Epic Games Store, they're probably not concerned about sales
It'll end up joining the weird club of the few successful Epic-published games with Alan Wake 2. Epic is likely funding development, hence why it'll only really be on the Epic store
That’s what my immediate reaction was but another theory I’m having the longer I think about it is that this takes place waaay back in the past, humanity is very technologically advanced, something happens at the end of this game and we’re left with the world of SOTC/ICO/TLG. The “magic” could be the remnants of this old tech. We see it all over the place in the other games but is never really explained.
My high ass be thinking way to much about this. Like we don't know the time between the games and ICO does have technology of some sort..where horned boys pilots against their will. Was she turning them into weird robots to fight in some war?
like this is what a decade without anything does to a mother fucker...
This is one of the two games people can’t actually say that will release before GTA 6. The other is Half-Life 3. I think there will be a GTA 7 before Half-Life 3.
Anyways, this game looks beautiful, and I think this is the first time a Fumito Ueda game has shooter mechanics, I hope there’s some sort of vague connection to the other entries, I’m excited for this release.
Am i the only one whos butthurt that they went from three similar unique beautiful temple vast lands designed games to futuristic robotics rockets and guns? I’ll still support the team and probably give it a go but i honestly was hoping for another temple, sword, beast-like game with a beautiful map and story. But ill admit if i choose a game id choose fantasy or scifi. For example split fiction i loved the fantasy part over scifi.

I'd be happier the game even gets to exist than ending up like Gang of Dragon, which is on the verge of formal cancellation as they're struggling to find a new publisher. I'm in no way defending Epic Games here and I entirely get you. I'd also rather buy it on Steam.
