A Plague Tale: Requiem

[Hitcher]

 

Pre-install available now.

[Mallet]

I really need to play the first game, I have it installed but something else always takes me away.

 

This game is a day one release on game pass isn't it?

 

[SuperFamiTom]

Really excited for this. The first game was great. 

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

I might play the first game again. Then again, I might not.

[Ry]

So it's out? 

 

2021. 

[Hitcher]

Placeholder but it wont be too long if it's available to pre-install and the achievement list is up.

I loved the first game, really looking forward to this!

[Escape]

I found the original's gameplay routinely dated and simplistic, with a few boringly overlong sections, but it has my favourite late-game visuals of anything since Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. At that point it went from a game forcing me to go slower than I wanted, to one I slowed down in more than necessary.

 

There seemed to be lots of backstory hints that went undelivered, but likeable characters are rare for me these days. Feels like Tomb Raider: Underworld in how the beauty of its world is its star. I was particularly impressed by some of the interiors, resisting the copy-and-paste urge for scale at the cost of realism.

Supposedly this will be shown off here:

I've actually stopped watching as I want to go in fresh.

[Benny]

Wait, June the 17th? That's next week! (Not mentioned in the presentation I just saw it upthread)

[Mortis]

I enjoyed Oxenfree so a sequel Should be worth a look.

18th of October apparently.

Looks great. Is this Microsoft’s equivalent of Last of Us then? It looks pretty similar from a gameplay perspective.

 

Also, is the original on Gamepass? I should really give it a go.

It's multi-format, coming to PS5 as well. The original was always quite indebted to TLOU in terms of its mechanics, and this looks to be building on the same foundations, so it's likely to still have a resemblance.

The first game has absolutely nothing on The Last of Us. Leagues apart.

Ah, didn’t realise it was multi format.

You really should, it's great! (apart from the bit with the cart). Save Hugo!

[Mr Do 71]

New gameplay trailer.

 

 

[Stanley]

Looking good this. 

[jonamok]

Too spoilery for me, seen plenty enough to know I’ll love this.

[Hitcher]

Full version available to install on XBox - 50GB.

[Mortis]

For those of us with gamepass it’s worth moving to New Zealand for the day.

This is a decent and mercifully short recap of the first game's story if you'd completely forgotten it, like me. Although it turns out there were really very loose ends at the end of the first game so I don't think it really matters too much

I think there were some Bad Rats.

[Mr Do 71]

It looks amazing.

Playing on PC Gamepass. No upscaling for us amd owners.

 

Running on 6700xt on auto settings (mix high and medium) and opening bit can tank into the the 30s at 2k. After that picks up.

 

Good news for pc owners is PS5 pad has native support with haptics.
