Making it out of a mission with an “excellent” or “flawless” rating feels like a true achievement. It’s this level of difficulty and challenge present that make XCOM 2 feel so rewarding. You’ve got to stay engaged and on your toes to not get massacred by ADVENT soldiers. Even on the easiest of missions, XCOM 2 doesn’t relax. I immediately knew what decision (or lack thereof) led to their demise. Every time I lost a soldier, I was upset and frustrated - but I knew where I went wrong. Never have I been completely wrecked by a game, yet couldn’t stop playing. It’s simply one of the greatest tactical strategy games ever made. A modern classic on the goĭespite some graphical/performance issues, I still thoroughly enjoyed my time with XCOM 2 on Switch. Of course, there’s not a single person out there expecting XCOM 2 to hit the same level of quality on Switch as on PCs, but the problems should be known. These issues weren’t as prevalent when playing in docked mode. There are big framerate drops during cinematics, transitions, and other intense moments. XCOM 2 on Nintendo Switch is capped at 30 fps, but barely manages to reach that in some cases. Unfortunately, these problems are still present in the Switch port. One of the biggest criticisms of XCOM 2 on consoles is its performance issues. Specifically when managing the Avenger, having touchscreen capabilities would be really convenient. The device offers a number of technological alternatives to other gaming systems, and the touch screen would have been a great fit for Switch. That being said, I wish XCOM 2 utilized the Switch’s touch screen. Being able to take the game into the kitchen, or having it with me as I play in bed was awesome. Playing XCOM 2 on a handheld felt foreign at first, but I quickly got used to it. Allowing players to easily jump in and out of games, as well as take them wherever they go, is a perk exclusive to Nintendo’s home console. The biggest draw of the Nintendo Switch is its hybrid functionality. Now, the game has been ported to Nintendo Switch for fans to enjoy on the go. XCOM 2 made its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the months following the PC launch. In the time since, the tactical strategy game has received such acclaim and a dedicated following that it feels like a gaming classic from many years ago. And check out our recent preview of The Devil in Me.It’s strange to think that Firaxis Games’ XCOM 2 was released just four years ago. The next entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Devil in Me, arrives on November 18th. The Quarry, which includes the likes of Ted Raimi, David Arquette, Lance Henriksen, and Lin Shaye, is out now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via Steam. “Also when you get somebody like Tom Cruise, that becomes what could be a budget of an entire game just on him.
So that becomes a bit of an issue,” he explained. It’s mostly about the number of days we have them for, because it’s very expensive, and shooting this takes a long time. He also believes that it won’t be long before the big-name Hollywood actors join in on the fun.
What we’re looking at now, and I can’t tell you exactly what it is, is a bit of a diversion away from that sort of standard, but it’s still very much classic horror.”Īnd for those that enjoyed seeing genre favourites appear in The Quarry, Byles says that Supermassive is going to do the same with this project. The Dark Pictures explores hundreds of variants of the horror genre. “I don’t know how far we can stretch the teen horror thing out further, because especially when we try to stir it up, the number of surprises you can add to that becomes limited. It’s equivalent in size to The Quarry… and that’s about as much as I can say without giving too much away.”īyles did allude to what can be seen as a departure from what Supermassive Games had done with their horror games in the past. Again, it’s the same sort of horror genre, we’re sticking to that. I can’t really tell you very much at all about it, but we have started.
Speaking with Video Games Chronicle, Supermassive Games studio director Will Byles stated that the team’s next horror project will be about the same scale as The Quarry, with a targeted release of 2025 or 2026. Supermassive Games is diving once again into horror with its upcoming project, which will no doubt please fans of their recent efforts in The Quarry, and in the ongoing The Dark Pictures Anthology.
