Be Kind Rewind
Dumbfuck!
I wouldn't bet on it. Reason being the context of this game, nu-3D Realms was acquired by Embracer back in 2021 and after those retards got scammed by some Saudi loser the great squeeze began to make shit profitable. Wrath might have had a professional team wrangle some quality shooting out of it in the third episode, after the original devs fucked off from that mess of a mismanaged project, but the game was very clearly rushed out the door and the axemen went in with zero fucks given, if they had the budget and time to cut out the first episode and start over they probably would have. I ran into parts of levels that weren't even textured.Wrath Aeon of Fury got better after demo parts - better be the case with this too..
All things considered it is a small miracle they didn't just shit out the minimum viable product. I'm not sure if Voidpoint were forced to release Aftershock before they felt it was done to feed the Embracer debt, but they managed to deliver the quality work they put out with the base game. Phantom Fury though?
It doesn't have the solid foundation of being a glorified Quake total conversion with worse enemies, zoomer movement and force powers strapped onto it that Wrath had. I played the PF demo and it's one of the worst shooters I've ever played, nothing to be rescued or salvaged there. Some of the most rushed and unfinished slavjank out there is far better than what was seen in the demo. They're going to rush this "retro" Unreal Engine slop out of the door no matter how foul it is because daddy Embracer need that cash injection and profitability, and there's no way the project will be given enough time and polish to make this turd shine.
