This week, Player Attack heads to sunny San Frag-cisco to check out Dirty Bomb, the upcoming FPS from Splash Damage.
The team chats to the developers - including company co-founder Rich Jolly, lead writer Ed "Bongoboy" Stern, lead designer Neil Alphonso and weapons artist Ben Garnell - about the shooter, which promises to be a throwback to the days of hardcore PC FPS.
There's also lots of real gameplay, an explanation of Dirty Bomb's free-to-play model thanks to Nexon (it's not horrible!), and a quick history of the company that brought us Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Brink.
Gamespot : The studio, known for its work on franchises like Wolfenstein and Gears of War, has announced its own original game.
From GI.biz: "When it transpired in 2016 that Splash Damage had been acquired by a Chinese poultry firm, the headline raised more than a few eyebrows.
But it turned out that Leyou had more than one ace up its sleeve. The company already owned a majority stake in Warframe developer Digital Extremes and went to buy 20% of Texas-based studio Certain Affinity the next year."
In this week's episode, Kiaun will discuss Final Fantasy 7 Remake physical release possibly being pushed back, Sony updates us on the Playstation 5's backwards compatibility, we get rumors about Spiderman 2's release date and Splash Damage is working on a Google Stadia exclusive.
Sony updated the ps5 website saying it will still release this year. Could be putting on a face. If it got delayed I'd understand.
If anything if the console does drop this year there will most likely be a supply shortage but if it got pushed to 2021 release I wouldn't mind. I usually wait a year or two when the new consoles drop anyways the bugs are worked out and more games are released. Usually when a new console drops the launch titles can be either good or a pile of shit.
