the developing parties seem to be at odds with themselves, not enough resources vested in it because reviving a dead ip while almost nobody originally involved with it works at bungie anymore might spell disaster for developers and investors alike, ironically having no faith in the project diverts the resources it needs to become something good.
There's great vision and tonality, I myself like the hyperfuture aesthetic and atmosphere, I unironically enjoy them looking like cyber clowns and the music is just GOOD, it feels like the halo days, or dare I say, the marathon days, but you can tell that they don't really know what to do with any of it, they seem to be trying to build a world of hostility, mistery and wonder for the great and indescipherable otherworldly unknown, but you can tell they themselves don't even know what the fuck lies behind that curtain, they are just building castles in the sky with a group of mismatched developers that I just can tell, want to turn this game into their own retarded gay project, "cyberpunk two", "apex but b e t t e r", or some shit like that.
There's no story out yet and if this doesn't fail at launch you will see a story pumped in in content drip waves, one or two seasons of genuinely interesting but scarce worldbuilding, maybe namedrops here and there, the mjolnir, durandal, pfhor, compilers (already in trailers so they WILL be the next wave of NPC pve enemies), but then,then, a robot will turn out to be queer or some dumb shit like what happened in destiny.
I believe they might be making this game for an audience that simply doesn't exist, they clearly want to captivate zoomers and redditos by making the thing revolve around extraction and androgynous future shit, but they also want to dickride boomers and millenials that know about this from the original works and know the lore could be great if done correctly, they don't understand that both audiences are often times mutually exclusive.
Also when it comes to gameplay, shit seems to be a shot for the stars that loses momentum not even halfway there, as a yPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
