Decline Dreamfall Chapters - Console Immersion Action Decline Kickstarter [Spoilers]

I think Eurotropolis and storytime were kind of nice graphicaly but those faggots are going the same rout of Dreamfall with even less gameplay this time, fuck them. If they wanted to make a game without gameplay they could had easily find someone to publish their shit indie "experience" shit. I hope they add some decent puzzles in this fucker because I couldn't give two fucks about this game if Tornquist decides to become a full time Norwegian David Cage.

 

New Kickstarter update

It's a long update, but among other things they had some people alpha test the game.

 

Hands-on preview from RPS

 

Well, this isn't too much of a surprise. Disappointing anyway.

 

I think Tornquist himself holds the rights to TLJ and Dreamfall, not Funcom.

I never hoped for Chapters to be another TLJ, but if it turns out to have even less gameplay than Dreamfall, I will be disappointed. Although I will still play and probably enjoy it, because I like Tornquist's style of writing and world building.

 

Walking Dead is like a plague... turning Adventure games into zombie games...

 

Meh, take all the combat/stealth out of Dreamfall and it's basically the same thing. Not a big stretch in any case.

 

That's quite a bit surprising. I would have sworn he said he owned the right during Dreamfall Chapters KS campaign, I must have misremembered.

 

So nothing has changed then.

 

I finally tried Walking Dead last week and hated it, so not good news.

 

He licensed it from Funcom.

Jaesun, I did not back this either. I briefly considered it until I saw it will be way over its funding goal anyway. I might risk money to promote some but not for a dumbed down interactive fiction like Dreamfall, even if I will enjoy playing it when it is released.

 

Doesn't Dreamfall have poorly executed combat&stealth sections and other action adventure crap? Point being that it in fact has more "gameplay" than the original. It's not like the "gameplay" part of TLJ was that good. In fact the poorly designed illogical puzzles in the beginning of the game are a detriment to it. As long as the writing, world building, voice acting, scenery and over all ambiance is as good as it was in TLJ, I don't care whether the next game has any gameplay (that is, classic point&click style inventory puzzles and not just running around, talking to people and interacting with some objects like computers and doors) at all. If it could have well designed puzzles like Day of the Tentacle it would be great, but Sanitarium style "interactive book" style adventure game is in my eyes superior to an adventure game that is so keen on storytelling that it'll force players to solve horrible puzzles just because an adventure game is expected to have puzzles and they couldn't be arsed to figure out any logical ones that actually make sense in the context of the game.

 

Well, you've just described puzzles in Dreamfall. Those in TLJ were ten times as good.

As for stealth and combat, both were there just to pad the game, there was no challange and no fun in either.

 

Interesting update

As if this wasn't shaping up spectacularly enough, they've now adopted the Broken Age episodic model (again) to generate income earlier.

I'm not saying that I like this news, but it is understandable. They "only" got 1,5 million dollars on KS, and that is not much if you want to do a fully voiced 3D adventure game with decent length.

 

Here's how Crow responded to the news of episodes:



All Red Thread Games needs to do now is only give backers Steam keys at launch and create another kickstarter-related DRM-free clusterfuck.

 

Trailer for the first episode/book/chapter.

Warning: emotions.

 

The cyberpunk parts have some nice art.

 

Bloom attack go!

 

It looks exactly like Dreamfall. Xbox grade graphics. Story better be totally awesome.
