It has an extremely high budget according to EM. Squeenix does the funding.
[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;28890480]I just wanted to ask. Is this a low-budget game?[/QUOTE]
the budget for this is higher than most average games iirc
but that doesn't stop it from being average.

well we'll see
Thanks guys, I saw some people on FP say that it's a low-budget game so I got dissapointed.
Thanks for telling me the truth!
I'm thinking of cancelling my preorder for this. I'll still probably buy it after release, but I want to see some actual reviews of this once it goes live.
I never preorder. It supports day 1 DLC schemes, preorder exclusive content, and it's a pretty genius method of getting people to buy your game before any reviews are even out.

never heard of cancelling them
or previews, or game info, or demos, or trust in a developer
or any other variable
Demos? Nowadays? Good joke.
Previews? Mostly by sites like IGN, never trustworthy. Game info is always written to sound good.
I have trust in some developers, but I still wouldn't preorder from them as a matter of principle. It's not like the stores will run out of games day 1 where I live.
I had a dream where the demo for this game came out.
That is all.

Live in the UK can cancel before games are out if reviews are bad, completely good point though on previews any bad things can have an NDA so it is not talked about

I have to put my hand over the right hand of the screen because it's painful to look at JJB, Mary DeMarle is pretty cute though.

They talk big, and I hope it's all true, bet you it's all marketing talk though.
If not, DE is gonna be great.
I don't know wether it will live up to the hype or the expectations, but I don't trust sqare enyx to be able to handle this game the was fans of the original would be pleased with. The more they talk, the more suspicious I get. From what I've seen and heared so far they are highlighting gameplay features. Look, you can go invisible, look we have fancy 3rd person insta-kill animations, look there is cover based 3rd person combat and we made some pre-rendered sequences to showcast this stuff.
But then I remember DE 1 and how the action mechanics were garbage compared to other shooters of the era, but it was still incredibly great for the story and atmosphere as well as your freedom to choose how to solve a mission. From what I have seen they might as well add some 'press A to solve stealthily, press B to solve violently and mangle the analog stick to solve with some gimmick'-meachanic.
Improving the gameplay obviously means they neglect everything else.
It usually does, though.

Woah, woah. The game's developed by Eidos Montreal. Squenix is a publisher.
I think it will be a decent game I doubt it will be as open ended as DX1 but still vastly superior to most other games in that respect
Mh, I think my problem is that I have such high expectations (it must have the same feel as the original) that I am just better off not expecting it to live up to that in order to spare me the disappointment I will surely have since they just don't make games lke they used to anymore.
[b]since they just don't make games lke they used to anymore.[/b]
this enrages me and fills me with contempt for modern gamers. They absolutely don't make games like they used to, they do a lot better in most cases.

In general, the minimum level of quality from your average game is much higher than that of the average game in the past, however the quality of the cream of the crop is much lower than of the cream of the crop of the past. This generally holds true, else why have we not seen the next Planescape? The next Deus Ex? The next Thief? The next Grim Fandango? The next Fallout?
What we get now not only hardly manages to compare to the great games of the past, it also doesn't do what it should be doing, exceeding the quality of games of the past by being revolutionary for the time it's released. Look at Fallout 3 for example, it was a huge decline from the past games, it should have been a modern re-imagining of the series, doing things the creators only could have dreamed of doing back then, but the end product actually had not only significantly less RPG elements, it was also kind of an average game if you were judging it as a game that wasn't an RPG, this was a game that won many many awards bear in mind. This is such a common problem. Not that all modern games are like this though, just the rate at which a remarkable game comes along has significantly decreased.
The quality level of a game is merely based on one's perspective. We see (insert old classic here) differently than that of an eleven year old. We see (insert modern 'classic here) differently than that of an eleven year old.

Do we have to do this argument about the distinction between objective criticism and subjectivity again?
It's a stupid argument in that we shouldn't have to do it, and HumanAbyss will just come in and claim objectivity is impossible again, and then I'll point out that the objective quality can be ascertained through looking at the features a game possesses, the quality and success of them and how they measure relative to other games, and that the objective quality of a game doesn't stop you from enjoying a game subjectively, and then we'll argue for a bit and then Generic.Monk will come in and say something about me which will get him 7 winners. Can we just not do that?

they are both painful to look at
on the left you have an old woman wearing makeup to no avail and on the right you have a large probably socially awkward guy who talks like one of my old teachers and has a neck beard
and both of them have bad teeth

I wasn't trying to start an argument. I was simply stating a point.
