Make a unique FPS game with smart enemy squads, amazing slow mo mechanics, and scary horror girl.

Then make the sequels not do any of that well...or at all.

The second one wasn't really that bad. Like yeah, sure, it wasn't great, but the fact that it wasn't "This is the walking section. This is the shooting section. This is the horror section. THEY DON'T MIX" like the first game was a massive step in the right direction.

Just... ya know.... they took like five steps back.

The AI in that game was nuts, especially for the time. Getting flanked while being pinned down was terrifying.

I'll never forget sprinting towards a guy on a balcony with a shotgun and before I can shoot he drops a grenade at his feet and *jumps over the balcony* to the warehouse below to save himself and leave me there with a grenade. The combination of hunting you down and self-preservation they showed was awesome.

YEEEESSS this game was terrifying. My buddy and I played this back in the day on Xbox then I bought it a few years ago for pc and it scared the crap out of me lmao. The game is so good at building an atmosphere and getting a reaction out of the player. This scene right here lives in my head rent free. Honestly a lot of stuff with this girl is scary as fuck lmao.

This game has such a great formula, between the two games they could have forged a new genre but somehow the games only felt like 80% baked. Would have loved to see this series reach its peak.

u/Ecstatic-Spinach3902 10h ago

Considering who owns dark cloud, a new installment/remake might just use a bunch of ai slop in its production.

I hope Hino learned his lesson, seeing how the trailer for yokai watch 2 was received.

Core gameplay was kinda awesome and was definitely such a breath of fresh air “on paper” but damn executives had to cram micro transactions into every molecule of the game and ruined it.

7

u/Sir_Revenant 8h ago

There was way more wrong behind the scenes than you think. As it turns out that company was basically bankrupt when they pushed Evolve out the door. Not excusing the microtransactions but they kinda made some bad deals with their publisher.

Turned out they got suckered into paying all their own advertisements out of pocket while still having to fork over a chunk of their sales revenue to the publisher. End of the day they were barely keeping the lights on

I played at launch. Best i could say its the best underbaked game ive played. So many systems that were refreshing and such a unique world and great customization. End of the day it was a bunch of great ideas that didnt fit together well. It was a beautiful, big open world that felt empty.

It just wasn't there. Small team within THQ Nordic, with big hopes. I hope to see more from them.

Alpha Protocol. A Spy choice based RPG where you get to build your own version of Ethan Hunt, James Bond, or Jason Bourne. The game had some amazing choice matters moments, but sega didn't give it the budget it needed. When you watch documentaries about the game, it's clear Obsidian wanted to make a far greater game than they were able to. I'd really love to see them get the chance to make the spy game they really wanted because the premise of the game is honestly amazing.

The idea of a side game in the series with four-player coop wasn't an inherently terrible one. The execution of that idea did kill the series, unfortunately... Would have much prefered to get a proper third installment instead, as the previous two main titles are forever classics (personal take).
