I only had 15 minutes, but #SprawlZero seems to be a hotpot of several games: a bit of Halo, a bit of Half-life, a bit of Killzone, a bit of F.E.A.R, possibly a bit of Crysis ... which considering this game is aiming for that kind of games, including the decadent urban zone, I say, I'm impressed, and I will watch the development with great interest

Players, Not Wallets - Lemmy.World

Somewhere in a glass tower, a meeting happened. The question on the slide wasn’t “is this game fun.” It was “how do we get them to spend again before they notice they stopped having fun.” That’s the part that gets me. I’m not against paying for games. I sell mine for less than a lunch, with a few optional extras that keep the servers on and let me keep doing this. That’s a fair trade. You give me a little, I give you a whole world and I don’t pick your pocket while you’re standing in it. What I’m against is the slot machine wearing a game’s skin. The blinking timers built to make you anxious. The fun locked behind a wall so you’ll pay to feel something. The hyped launch that ships broken because the marketing already cashed the check. Designing a game to drain you instead of delight you is a choice, and a lot of big teams keep choosing it. So here’s where I plant my flag. I’d rather make a smaller, honest thing that respects your time and your wallet than a shiny machine engineered to bleed you slow. If you’re tired of being treated like a balance instead of a player, good. Come build the other timeline with me. We’re still out here, and we’re not selling you back the joy.
