Alien Isolation and Space Marine were made by RTS developers. Last of Us was made by the Crash Bandicoot developers. Insomniac made Spyro, then FPS series Resistance, then the Spiderman games. Expecting a developer to only make one type of game forever is probably why they inevitably turn to shit and close. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Godric@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Fair enough, we won't know until it drops! I just really really hope it's going to be a worthy successor to VTM, and a studio that doesn't have experience in one of the key parts I'm expecting doesn't fill my doomer heart with hope. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rose@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's also worth noting that the original Chinese Room was composed of eight employees, who ended up laid off around 2017. One of the two original directors quit this year, but the team is reportedly composed of over 100 people now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago People experienced with the company constantly complain that whenever they talk to someone in it, it's like they never truly understand the conversation and are just replying with formulaic phrases. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Insomniac made Spyro, then FPS series Resistance, then the Spiderman games. I will not stand for this Ratchet & Clank erasure! permalink fedilink source parent [–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I think it’s kind of misleading saying LTOU was made by Crash Bandicoot developers. It was 14 years after they made Crash Bandicoot. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I think it’s kind of misleading saying LTOU was made by Crash Bandicoot developers.

From that, the writing will be good but hopefully it will have any gameplay. permalink fedilink source parent
