I had completely forgotten this limp puppet corpse of a game had come out at all. I saw 0 marketing for it, saw a ton of bad reviews and then it disappeared into the void.
I'm actually more surprised to see any further news about it, given it felt like the kind of thing that folds a studio in half.
From the article, sounds like the company founder is a complete bell-end, had no clear vision and kept changing his mind on everything. Half the games developers in Edinburgh probably used to work for Rockstar and will know all the ins-and-outs of developing a GTA clone, but if you keep fucking them around then you'll end up with a mess.
From the reviews, sounds like even when it's not being a buggy mess, it's boring and the plot is completely stupid. You can hotfix the bugs and performance issues away, but if the underlying concept is shite then you can't really polish that into something good.
Hadn't heard of it at all. I just skimmed a walkthrough video. It doesn't seem bad, but I don't play a lot of F/3PS. What makes it a "limp puppet corpse"?
(Will go look for some of the reviews though).
It's awefully repetitive, doesnt have any enticing game mechanics and is generally just a very slow slog from one cutscene that you dont care about to the next. Think of watchdogs but without everything that makes it remotely good. My friend pirated it and finished it, I'd rather pay someone money to kick me in the balls, that sounds way more fun than fucking mindsei
