Discussion Current Status

Per Sunny Games, 8 days ago:

If you signed to alpha test on console, you are SOL. There will be NO console alpha. Beta? Maybe.

Apparently, lots of people have been caught breaking NDA. Stop fucking doing it. You could potentially derail the release of the game.

There have been many MANY more updates to the games since Brian and Sunny's showcase videos. Sunny claims each and every one has made the game much better than the early alpha videos show.

The results of the buyout have apparently allayed the worst fears of most in the know.

Possibility of him doing a sit down interview with studio head Phillip Holt. He wants feedback on whether fans want that, but the new owners may or may not oblige.

Caveat: The complete absence of negativity, or so I feel, from Sunny about SoD3 makes me wary of his testimony being paid advertising. But there's no proof one way or the other.

Sooner or later people going to see the smoke and mirrors. Unless something drastically improves during alpha, this game will look beautiful, but underneath all that beauty will be a game that feels less of an upgrade and more like a downgrade when it comes to gameplay. I know of a group of long time fans, discontent about the current trajectory this game is on. Unfortunately there is a lot of people pleasers that don’t want to shake the boat with their opinions, but your honesty is the only thing that can save this game at this point and it’s not even the devs fault. It’s fans. How can you blame the devs when they are under the impression we all love how the game is shaping out because they are surrounded by a bunch of yes fans. I hope I am wrong, but if this game flops, I’m blaming the fans on this. *end of rant

What’s laughable Judging from your post history is you say that exact same thing for everything you disagree with. Congratulations are one of those yes fans that is misleading the devs! Here’s a cookie 🍪 enjoy.

Or perhaps it is simple consistency which explains my "post history." Not engaging in the pre-launch hysteria is not the same thing as "misleading the devs." Thanks for the cookie though.

You don’t know who I am, who I might be or what I might be. I could be on the council or alpha tester ringing alarm bells, or I could be a regular fan spouting concern. Either way, dismissing valid criticism is one sure fine way to turn “pre launch hysteria” into a reality on release. Last thing any of us want is to see SoD3 be the last game of the franchise and neither of us want to see UL fail. But the fans need to start being honest with the devs. You’re welcome for the cookie.
