There’s !nomanssky@lemmy.world but it’s not super active. You’re bound to find some fans in the general gaming communities like this one though.

I’m new to Lemmy BTW.

Welcome!

Loved the game, but… we don’t talk about that cow scene…

YYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!

I’ve been so conditioned that Team Cherry give no news that I thought this was a joke when I first saw the trailer in my feed. Seems like they’re hard at work.

There’s more info in the official blog post, including a new update for the original hollow knight

In a post on social media, CI Games’ CEO and the head of the studio, Marek Tyminski, reverted to his rhetoric about games needing to avoid political agendas. He stated in clear terms that Lords of the Fallen 2, slated for 2026, will feature ‘attractive female characters’ wearing ‘revealing outfits’.

This is hilarious. “I don’t want games to be political, therefore we will feature half-naked sexy women.”

The reboot lords of the fallen wasn’t even any good. Stopped playing halfway through.

didn’t like aw so skipped aw2 until my library has a free copy

Alan Wake 2 has a DLC that ties in pretty heavily with Control, so you’ll definitely want to play that before the new game comes out.

I guess I’m confused because I didn’t know that “low budget” was now synonymous with “indie.”

There aren’t any hard rules of what an indie game is, and TGA don’t set any because they don’t take their jobs seriously, but it’s usually accepted that indie = small teams, small budget. Otherwise, technically games like Cyberpunk 2077 are “indie” because they’re self-published, while games published by Devolver Digital are technically not indie because they have a publisher despite the games being made on a tiny budget and occasionally created by only one person.

Expedition 33 had a huge budget compared to other games in its category, and much more developers. They had mo-cap, they had popular voice actors, and they had tons of contract workers overseas. It’s not fair to put it up against games that didn’t have any of that.

E33 is what the industry refers to as a AA game. Mid-sized budget, mid-sized team. As opposed to AAA, massive budgets with massive teams.

What about No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky (on release) is way smaller in scope than E33. It was made by around a dozen developers only, and they actually self-published it which makes it much more “indie”.

Ehhh, I dunno. I’m hoping this franchise evolves in some way because this looks like more Megaman 11, which was just more old-school Megaman. There have been way too many 2D platformer games in the franchise if you look at it, and not much has changed since Megaman X.

Bring back Megaman Legends or something!

I guess we’re DMC now. I loved Control and AW2, but the gameplay for both was so-so. Glad to see they’re branching out, this looks awesome.

Fantastic timing, I just started playing a few days ago and am having a blast!

For what it’s worth most people are more mad that E33 won best indie and best debut indie. It’s not an indie game, many people have said as much and it’s completely unfair that they won in categories meant for small budget games by small teams.

Totally deserved in other categories, but that does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes.

How is this Nintendo’s fault lol

The Switch 2 could absolutely handle Skyrim at 60fps if not 120, it’s not their fault Bethesda half-assed the port.

Now even more people can go back to the cluuuuub.

It’s releasing next month, so you won’t have to wait much longer.

Sweet. There have been a lot of Rhythm Heaven clones over the years, but this one looks like the most promising.

Well deserved, Sinners was awesome. Weirdly enough I enjoyed the first half of the movie more when it was just a period drama, but I felt it got a little goofy when vampires were introduced.

It also bothers me that everyone kept trying to sell the movie as a horror. It’s really not scary, it’s more of an action thriller.

Oh, that’s great. I haven’t played Valheim in a while so I wasn’t aware of this change.

They said there will be an offline mode, but you will probably have to authenticate with the servers the first time you launch it. That’s how Minecraft and Vintage Story does it.

I assure you fellow survival fan, you not being able to carry materials through portals will absolutely improve the game and not just pad it out significantly!

(Valheim, in case you were wondering)
