Pikachu Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Quote The Medium is a psychological horror game, featuring music by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Become a medium living in two worlds: the real and the spirit one. Haunted by a vision of a child’s murder, you travel to an abandoned hotel resort, which years ago became the stage of an unthinkable tragedy. There you begin your search for difficult answers. As a medium with access to both worlds, you have a wider perspective and can see more clearly that there’s no one simple truth to what others perceive. Nothing is what it seems, everything has an other side. Coming Holiday 2020 to PC & Xbox Series X. Stay tuned for the full reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 One of the oddest reveals I've seen in a long time. Next gen game debuted with a CG trailer followed by much more muted in-engine demonstration. This thread is incomplete without it: Supposedly it's next gen only. The CG trailer would have really sold that if it... wasn't. That transition at the end does look like something that could be easier to pull off with an SSD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Damn, for some reason I had this coming out in months in my mind. Can't wait!

Bloodporne Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 So apparently reviews for this one are all over the place from what I just checked out. Metacritic is somewhere in the low 70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 At the end of the video they say it's definitely worth playing. Just expect a slower pace type game rather than an action 3rd person horror game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same game comes out for Nintendo or Sony and reviewers jizz themselves Yeah, I think this is a really bad example to try to make that complaint. This is a bloober team game, it’s scoring better than their last game and is about in line with the rest of their output. It’s a small budget thing that just happens to have a console exclusivity deal (probably timed), it’s scoring about what you’d expect and I don’t think the platform would matter. This does have the position of being looked at as the first example of a next gen only Xbox game so I think some people are expecting it to be this big AAA thing when really it’s just a game that would come out mostly under the radar under normal circumstances.

BloodyHell Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don’t believe scores are lower because of platform. Apparently it has a lot of problems with controls and the story makes little sense. Either way, im looking forward to playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Scores are in line with a game that appears on game pass that anyone can play regardless of reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, Bloober Team used to be one of those mystery devs some Wii fans had irrational hope in. This game seems like it'll be good for anyone who digs the vibe. Plus, it legit does next-gen stuff. Sounds like a success to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Bloober team just needs more staff or more time. They actually do some really cool stuff technically and have great artistic ability shown here and in Observer Redux, but the optimization is pretty bad and still have a good amount of jank. I feel like they could be on to something great eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose now the chart is not taking dlss into account and doesn’t want to put in 60fps (nvidia only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I do believe we see some weird inflating of Sony game scores when titles like Horizon Zero Dawn or Ghosts of Tsushima are barely-a-step-up (and a step down in my opinion compared to recent entries) Ubisoft open world games. I always have to be extra skeptical of Sony exclusives because people overhype the fuck out of them. I still can't believe one of the counters to Horizon's bad combat was that I should enjoy setting it up so I can watch the AI fight each other, like a fuckin' video game bum fight or something. Good lord, just make the combat fun! Anyway, Bloober team makes good stuff, but not great stuff, so the reviews based on their history seem to be about what would be expected. Gonna dig into this game thanks to Game Pass, still not sure what to think of the solo split-screen stuff I saw in the Digital Foundry video (seems like a tech gimmick more than something important to the game, which is especially not something you want in a horror-themed title) but let's give it a shot and find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Ghost reviewed exactly the same as ubi games do, horizon is a little higher but it’s expansion reviewed the same as an ubi game, then Days gone reviewed like lower, so did The Order. Did that predator game get 90’s? I can’t remember. Idk it’s just a general thing you could throw out there like “reviewers are biased toward Sony”, it sounds good and seems plausible but when you start actually looking at it then it just falls apart.
