Greedfall is really getting a next-gen remaster.

They want a piece of those sweet, sweet next gen remaster money. Everyone is going them now, even CDPR with Witcher 3 so why not them?

 

[Padzi]

I finished the game this year. I did every damned side quest and now they are throwinga next-gen remaster in my face? I hope it will be free for the current owners, at least.

They refer this new content as a "new expansion" fwiw. Also rather important part of this announcement. While Focus Home is still in charge of publishing next gen versions of this game, IP itself is transferred to Nacon, the parent of Spiders and direct competitor of Focus. https://www.focus-home.com/en-us/ne...a-release-on-playstation-5-and-xbox-series-sx

GreedFall extend its journey with a new expansion and a release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X

Following the success of GreedFall, which sold more than a million copies in less than a year, and considering the enthusiasm of all those who travelled the rich lands of Teer Fradee, NACON and Focus Home Interactive are happy to announce a new partnership aiming to expand the game with new content, as well as a release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.

The two companies have thus reached an agreement, in which Focus Home Interactive will be in charge of the publishing of the upcoming additional content and expansion, as well as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X versions of GreedFall. The GreedFall brand is now integrated as part of the NACON portfolio.

Also it looks like they will give away the base game on EGS soon.

Still haven't played this yet but I'm glad it beat the million-or-bust challenge when Deadfire did not.

Well hopefully selling this much and having relatively successful financial result will allow their next game to have a better budget (or better project manager?) so the quality of the game will stay consistent instead of feeling stretched thin quality wise.

We are living in a very sad times, if games like this sell 1M copies (same with Outer Worlds). It seems that putting nice graphics is enough to sell nowadays.

This was probably the biggest gaming disappointed I had in the last 10 years (expectations vs reality). Was hoping for a mix between Gothic and Elex (yeah, I know...) and got a time wasting walking simulator, with corridor design, simple boring combat, crappy enemy variety, horrible exploration and shit itemization. First promising few hours turned into absolute boredom, to make player even more disappointed. Comparing this game to glorious ELEX is not even a fair fight.

 

[Yosharian]

The game really isn't that bad and I'm willing to give it another chance when the expansion/remaster drops. I was unimpressed with it overall at launch though.

As flawed as this game is though its still a LOT better than The fucking Outer Worlds.

Did poe2 beat the 250k or really really bust ?

My opinion about Greedfall.

I loved when I was a emissary exploring and dealing with local problems and conflict. When started with the "save the world" clichê, I lost the interest. Not only due that clichê, but every encounter fells the same. As a mage, you spend every encounter spamming magic missile and firearms, despite visually being different, they all mechanic wise are the same.

Why even compare Greedfall to ELEX of all things?

Spiders were aping Bioware-ish RPG, and one from the times when Bioware already stopped making proper RPGs but had not declined into utter shit territory yet. So yes, Greedfall is euro-trash - but at least it is a reasonably good-looking game with interesting setting and it does a decent work at imitating almost two decades old formula (started from the first KOTOR I guess?).

When ELEX is entirely different sort of euro-trash, not in the bad way of course, and nobody else tries to mimic Gothic now beside PB. Hell, those weird German people spent last twenty years doing nothing else but mimicking Gothic. With the whole package of ugly graphics, stunted combat, functional dialogues and absolutely amazing to explore semi-open world.

It is like two different sub-genres of RPGs and complete opposites to each other to the boot.

As a mage

Found your problem

 

[krilcebre]

I never finished the game (might as well go for it), but I actually liked it. I was playing as a warrior using heavy melee weapons, and combat was fairly fun. What about technician, is it fun to play like that, or should I stick with a warrior, as I have no interest in playing as a mage, seeing a lot of people complaining of how boring it is.

So right after Spiders got bought they are milking their existing franchise instead of making something new...



...well, let's hope whatever they make is to Greedfall what Technomancer was to Mars: War Logs. But unlike MWL, i do not see how they could continue Greedfall, it didn't give me the impression that this was supposed to be a long term franchise.

This was probably the biggest gaming disappointed I had in the last 10 years (expectations vs reality). Was hoping for a mix between Gothic and Elex (yeah, I know...)

I'm not sure how you came to expect this. Almost all of Spiders' games play pretty much the same... which ok, you can say the same about Piranha Bytes games, but that is where the similarities end (...there and that they're janky games made by very small studios that try to "punch above their weight"...). Greedfall plays pretty much like Spiders' previous games, just stretched a bit more (which IMO was the main downside of it) and none of their games ever had great combat. Their main selling point is (at least for me) their settings and worlds (as long as you do not think too hard about them) on top of a decent-but-not-great "kotorlike" gameplay :-P

Nah, they already announced Steelrising. Whatever it may be.

 

[Bad Sector]

Nah, they already announced Steelrising. Whatever it may be.

Ah yes, i completely forgot about that.

Optimism regained.

 

[Padzi]

I am more excited for that Greedfall extra-something than Steelrising. I still check it out tho.
