Multiplat The Technomancer

[ioppolo]

Set on Mars during 'the Water Wars'. Open world RPG, with crafting elements. The world changes and reacts to your choices and how you play the game, and different companions open up different quest lines.

Ticks all my boxes and has me sold, comes out Tuesday.

I'm going to wait a few days on this one. Initially I was keen and still intrigued and I'm into the concept but Spiders have burned me a couple times. Was reading a review on I think it was Polygon last night which mentioned some average visuals and dialog which reminded me of Bound by Flame with its early PS3 graphics, tourettes voice acting and thin RPG system.

Looks like my type of game and I'm not playing anything else at the moment so I might pick it up.

Yeah saw this on the coming soon on the PS store. Never heard of it until a week ago. Will be watching to see how it goes.

When is this actually out?

JB site says Thursday and the EB site now says 8 July.

PS Store says 28th.

Hopefully Australia doesn't get made to wait a week

came out in aus today I think?

saw a review that basically calls it a b-grade witcher copy but sci-fi... still sounds good to me. looks pretty damn cool, only problem is I have other games I need to finish before starting another :|

EB site is saying Friday the 8th too and I haven't seen any signs of anyone playing it today. Could be wrong though. At least a week allows the reviews to roll in, something I wished I had looked at before Bound by Flame.

 

[ioppolo]

Everything except Australian retailers say today. Wank

 

[Quivorir]

PS Store still says today but you can't purchase it.

 

[revival_mode]

seems to be working now fyi

 

[dwwaino]

As I expected, reviewing like arse. Bargain buy for me unless some people on here can suggest otherwise.

Im very curious on this game. I want to hear a few peoples opinions on it first though

I've been reading around a bit and most people seem to be enjoying it as long as you don't go in expecting the next Witcher 3.

 

[ioppolo]

And why are people's expectations so high?

Their own worst enemy.

 

[dwwaino]

On the contrary, after Bound by Flame most have very little expectations.

The trailer has had me interested since I first saw it, even more so since it is meant to be sequel to Mars: War Logs, but I'm not paying full price for a Spiders game again.

I played about an hour last night - definitely wait for it to drop. Setting/story/whatever seems fine but the combat is very lacklustre & it does look like last gen graphics.
I have played much worse though.
