They’ve already announced they will be adding new/harder bosses I think later this month and duos sometime later this year.

I gotta think they would add a new map at some point. The existing limveld map does a decent job of mixing things up occasionally when you get a shifting earth event even though about 75% of the map stays the same

Basically you just run around the map killing stuff and looting until you get to the last boss of that day. I imagine instead of 3 people you just run it solo. Haven’t done it myself yet

Made a few runs tonight with friends and one with a random. I enjoyed it thoroughly what little I made it through. It will take a bit to get used to the way it works and the feel of each character though.

Seems like you need to get as many levels as you can before the end of each day to be able to do any damage to the boss

Article has Martin being a producer and mentions it being based off a story he wrote. From the interviews I’ve seen Martin talking about it, he just wrote a basic outline about radagon/marina and the family. Sometimes it sounded like he didn’t even know what the project really was.

All that to say this doesn’t excite me that much that we get something close to the game if Miyazaki isn’t involved and Martin is. I didn’t play it because Martin had a hand in the development

Nothing in that trailer jumped out to me as woke. If anything it makes me more willing to pay $100

Genuinely curious, what woke turn? I've always seen R* as a "F everyone" kind of company.

The only thing that they’ve put out so far that anyone could remotely link to a woke turn is a female protagonist.

Other than that it’s the fact that a couple of the lead writers for the gta games have left. It’s a little concerning but with what little we have to go on right now it’s not a huge deal.

Also, I find the indoor maps to be a bit weird. When you are indoors, the map should default to indoor. I am pretty sure it does that in the original game. Here, you have to open the map and scroll down every single time to zoom into the indoor view.

Yeah I’ve found this to be pretty annoying. Didn’t remember what it was like in the original

It’s a fine line between genius and insanity and he walks the edge. Very interesting idea for this season and I wonder if it ends up as another dumb Starbucks

I’m predicting that he tries to split moody and his girl up if they don’t do it on their own and he starts to go after her. Wood myself.

It looks great. They kept a lot of the original. I did hear them say they kept the best of both Skyrim and oblivion leveling, but I didn’t hear much elaboration on what that means. You get all the dlc. Seems well worth it to me

I’ve been rewatching X-files lately and it’s incredible how well it holds up. Chris Carter either really did his research while writing or he had the inside track to the CIA. A remake series is not needed and this will suck badly

re: Oblivion Remake could shadow drop as early as tomorrow

Posted by Josh Fenderman on 4/16/25 at 11:00 pm

Hopefully they revamped the leveling system. Skyrim did it a lot better imo. It was pretty silly to have to level up other skills to make sure you didn’t fall behind the enemy levels

Yeah same. Dan trachtenberg mentions in the article that it allowed him to do things that would otherwise be harder to do in live-action though

April 9 is the deadline for the individual countries with higher tariffs to come to the negotiating table. The across the board 10% one I think is tomorrow. So it’s possible Japan is working on something and we hear about it before the 9th
