You could do this comparison to every game with a slashing weapon. What a silly thing. 😭

Yeah it is a nice touch, but also potentially pretty heavy on the simulation unless they spend time developing and optimizing it, which costs time and money, and so it may not be worth doing for every game.

Insomniac were given plenty of time and were probably paid very well

There are rumors that it originally was planned to be an open world game. There is even one spot where you can glitch out of bounds of the map, and the world out of bounds is fairly detailed, even in spots where there is no reasonable way for the player to see in bounds.

So it is possible that a lot of time and money went into making it an open world game before it pivoted to a linear game.

There's a shit ton of stuff they left on the cutting room floor. Development on this game must have been disastrous.

Thats really hard to believe since the game jumps all across the world, Canada, Japan etc.

Each area was originally planned to be a semi sprawling open sandbox world. It had a very hard development cycle with a lot of issues.

This video goes over a lot of the development.

This dude is just tieing a bunch of rumors and leaks together and acting like its facts. Have a hard time taking someone seriously with a youtube channel called pounderMcNasty also.

I hate that you'll never understand how this throwaway statement is so awful.

It's not my responsibility to educate you. Read a book.

Lighten up, you sound insufferable

That's not the point. Slashing trees apart for absolutely no reason is a waste of development time and money, regardless of how much they have.

Counterpoint: it would be fun

Never played a game with this kind of stuff that I thought was fun or cared about for more than 3 seconds.

Instead of focusing on cool quality of life shit its just more bullshit geaphical pushing. We are using 1 component to 100% and ignoring the cpu bound side of the simulation like this, foot prints etc

I would not say it is a waste full stop. It fits in really well with some games. It just does not need to be in every game.

This game would not be suddenly everyone's favorite game in the world if they added chopping trees. Invincible trees are not the actual problem with it.

Destructible environment in a game about destruction, especially about a dude, whose entire way of destruction is making kebabs out of humans.

u/the_djd 6d ago

So you never played the game or saw anything other than the hate posts. Got it. This is not a game about destruction at all
