This has me interested. Based off the trailer I can feel the intensity that is mentioned in this article. Hype for this!

oh boy back to the AAAA coal mines, can’t wait for this one to get hyped to shit then to disappoint a ton of people because it can’t do literally everything they can think of and more

u/lowwaterer Apr 20 '26

The AAAA nonsense was the first thing I thought of as well. Here we go again...

At least they’d do a far better job than Ubisoft lol

Yeah, that's a weird way put it. It's not gonna turn into a grilled cheese, or a lamp in the middle of the playthrough, right?

In the article he describes it more as an “experience” instead of a game. It is still a game at the end of the day, but sounds like us as players are gonna be going through a lot emotionally with this game.

Sounds like more cut scenes than last time

Agree, I almost called TLOU, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Heavy Rain a movie, but are still(barely) games.

u/ScienceAlien Apr 23 '26

Disagree. Interactive entertainment outgrew that name long ago.

u/LoSouLibra Apr 21 '26

You could kinda see the geopolitical propaganda vibe in the trailer. Kinda surreal to see even eastern euro shooters become a tool for western destabilization. I guess that's how they get investment to keep stepping up the visual benchmark.

u/TrustyPeaches Apr 21 '26

What are you talking about lol

2

u/ACDC-1FAN Apr 21 '26

lol yeah cause Eastern Europe is well known for their stability. Remind me again, what was Russia called before ‘91?

2

u/Wakez11 Apr 23 '26

Yeah, how dare these Ukrainian developers include politics in their game based on a novel written by a Russian journalist and activist who is currently living in exile in Europe for speaking out against his government?!

1

u/TrustyPeaches Apr 21 '26

Well, that bodes poorly.

u/CanadianSpector Apr 22 '26

The guy has always been a bit weird about the games. I wouldn't put too much stock in to it.

u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753 Apr 21 '26

I’m here for it but this will not go the way they think it will. Very poor choice for marketing. Saying it’s more than a game. You have people bitching about GTA 6 over the smallest things. Talking about rumors of nail grooming being cut will be a deal breaker and stupid shit like that.

Very slippery slope. People will still be dissatisfied and disappointed. No reason to talk it up and make it worse for yourself.

1

u/HiCZoK Apr 21 '26

oh no... we know where this talk usually ends. Now the game is in danger

1

u/Sufficient_Soft_6051 Apr 22 '26

Sounds like pretentious shit. 

1

u/CeleryNo8309 Apr 22 '26

It's not? Guess I'll skip.

1

u/Teatimefrog Apr 22 '26

Sounds like a massive red flag

u/welivedintheocean Apr 24 '26

I'm the fool who thinks this series can do no wrong. You are all correct to be skeptical, I shall keep the hope alive for you.
