PS+ April '23: Sackboy, Meet your Maker & Tails of Iron

[p1nseeker]

Seems like Sony have announced a game due next month quite early. It looks quite interesting, nice idea to get it to as many people as possible. Any life in the game will surely depend on the amount of content people create etc. 

 

 

[Edit] Shit didn't see there was already a thread (https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/327677-meet-your-maker/#comment-13657497).

 Maybe merge / delete needed here.

the late 90s called they want all their jobby brown textures back  

[Strafe]

I wonder how they’ll manage the map creation. Maybe something like Mario Maker where you can’t upload your course/map until you’ve beaten it yourself or something. Otherwise it will just be full of unavoidable death trap maps.

So Kaizo maps then?

Endless Rewardless Content: The Brownening

Okay, but will the scale be large enough for people to recreate the obtuse map design of the 90s, with its maze structures and key hunts?

[Timmo]

I’ll be remaking the second level of Turok 2, hoping to keep the percentage of people who finish it similar to the original (<1%)

[Eighthours]

Begun, the brown levels have.

I played on both betas of this and that really didn't become a problem. You have to leave a solid path through to the objective (there's an NPC that patrols the route), so there's always a way through to it. But if I found a level that was just a killbox, I'd just quit it and move on. If the level's no fun to play, it might get a few kills, but people won't stick with it.

 

You also get XP for accolades that people can give you, so that rewards more artistic and fun level design.

Nice that Sackboy game looks pretty good

Happy about Sackboy was on my list to purchase at some point & enjoy on local co-op.

I miss local co-op games the Xbox 360 was great for that!

[p1nseeker]

Sackboy is great fun in local coop.

Oooooh, I'll happily give Sackboy a go. 

[David Kenny]

I like the look of Tails of Iron. Anyone played it?

I couldn't get past the seemingly endless tutorial-bullshit. After running around the castle at the beginning for fucking forever, I uninstalled without even fighting a single enemy. It felt super-sluggish to control anyway. Oh well.

It's brilliant. The music and the way the levels are built around the beat on some of them is fantastic!

[MardiganX]

My 5 year old spent an hour on Sackboy earlier and absolutely loved it. Feels like a more expansive Astrobot with loads to do so that will keep him entertained for hours. The coop stuff seemed really easy to get into aswell so well chuffed with this dropping for us to play together.

 

Oh and Sackboy himself is just fucking adorable!!

[Qazimod]

It looks like Sackboy has a bunch of free cosmetic content on the Store too:

Amazed it's all free, but my Sackboy Kratos is very grateful

[joffocakes]

Sackboy is over 100GB?!

13GB.

[David Kenny]

Yeah but then they add 88GB of "cute".

[Girth Certificate]

88gigs of outfits and wigs

 

I like how the default option selected when you go into PS+ on the PS5 is to upgrade to a higher tier. Really makes me feel valued as a customer.

Phew. I saw the 100 GB and thought 'not on my connection'. 13 is do-able overnight.

 

Weird it doesn't just add to your PS+ library; you have to purchase at 0.00. Probably needed to DL all that additional junk.

When there are multiple versions of the game (i,e PS4 and PS5 version) they inexplicably put the total amount of GB for all versions as the minimum requirement. As if someone is going to install all of them. See Horizon:FW minimum 189GB as an example. Baffling.

[MardiganX]

My boys head just exploded at the Sackboy Ratchet, Clank and Football costumes. Amazing! 

 

Looking forward to some coop with him later as Kratos and Atreus :)

Meet Your Maker is a very strange game. Seems to involve slowly tiptoeing around a user created maze to avoid instadeath traps and enemies who kill you in 1 shot forcing you to start again. Basically an exercise in learning where all the traps are.
