If it wasn't built around the same old boring Marvel-tier writing and Fortnite art-style I would give it a chance because because Spector has made some great games but I would rather jump off a bridge than play this.

I wish it was single-player…

Looks like an immersion sim combined with Assassin's Creed multiplayer (Packaged as an extraction game maybe). If that's the case i am very interested

I would rather be waterboarded than play a single second of this.

Looks interesting. Will definitely be paying close attention to this going forward.Looks like an immersion sim combined with Assassin's Creed multiplayer (Packaged as an extraction game maybe). If that's the case i am very interested
World did feel a little empty but it's probably way too early to judge. Also looks like very low lethality which is interesting.

Yep, I thought it was going to be a cool Immersive sim initially vs whatever the hell this is. Oh well.

Didn't we already have a weird robin hood like pvpve thing like this?

No. This is a multiplayer immersive sim...first of it's kind.

DOA. But probably is aiming for Fotniteneeres

Game of the show lifted the Game Awards.
Btw, this looks like an Extraction Shooter...which is honestly the future of multiplayer.

Boxes, please, stop embarrassing yourself over live service slop. There's just no appeal to this, and you know it.

Is it safe to say at this point that Deus Ex was a fluke and Spector is a hack? i'm saying it anyway.

The appeal is relatively simple to see.
The Immersive Sim is a genuinely interesting genre that has had relatively small commercial impact. Then you ask why, and the most obvious answer is that the games give you a litany of choice with very little reason to care about those choices. Enter in stakes and consequences and suddenly your choices start to actually matter.
Honestly, it's not everyday we get a "first of it's kind" type of game. It'll be fascinating to see how they create it and how it plays out in the market. Game of the show without question.

Fortnite is literally the most successful core game of all time, so the art style has broad appeal. That's important when making a commercial product.
It's also relatively basic looking which means it's easier and faster to create and implement assets. That's also important when forging a new path.

Truly pathetique. Yet another possible immsim lost to live service trash. Industry is in the gutter

This, especially the Fortnite violet shit filter and shiny reflections on everything.

Correlation doesn’t equal causation. Fortnite is not popular because of the art style, the art style is popular because of Fortnite. Numerous companies tried to imitate the art style, they all failed. The art style works for Fortnite, nothing else.
That’s like saying Mona Lisa style is popular because Mona Lisa is the most popular painting in the world.

Nah, tons of games have the Fortnite aesthetic...
Overwatch, League of Legends, Valorant, Diablo 3, The Sims... It's a popular aesthetic because it appeals to a wide base and is relatively fast and easy to create and implement. It's safe to assume the experts in the field know what they're doing.

It's a "first time" thing for a reason. You believe that everything can be tried irrespective of common sense. There is no crossover between the imsim player and the multiplayer gamer, and there's even less in design tenets. It's just not going to work.

You don't have the vision for multiplayer.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wrote it off as soon as "multiplayer" showed up. I don't want multiplayer games to begin with, but I definitely don't want them from teams that are known for fantastic single player games, when they also come at the expense of more single player games..
I know that for a lot of these, the temperature around GaaS and related shlock changed real fucking quick this year and you can't respond immediately, but their target audience doesn't exist and their actual fanbase resents this.

Oh, so Deus Ex was a couple of lightning strikes in a bottle. Doesn't look set to repeat here.

Any game that has a hint of purple in it these days just screams utter bullshit
Is this an industry calling card for shit B tier products? Seems that way
Tis odd.

Got excited when I heard Warren's Spectors name. The trailer looks interesting, hope the levels are big enough so that the multiplayer experience won't be an easy smash and grab.

This actually sounds like a really unique idea. Color me interested.
I am quite disappointed at the lack of meaty hams though.

I don't know if you have worked it out, but Spector was the yappy front guy for some seriously intelligent nerds. It's dumb game journo level cope to say things like "I like Spector, so I hope this is as good as Deus Ex".
