Earthlock Rereleasing As A New Version.

ThisGenGaming says:"It seems like more and more developers are looking at the game they’ve made and think: we could have done better. Snowcastle games has just announced that they will be relaunching Earthlock next year (Q1 2018).

The RPG game will rerelease as “Earthlock”, dropping the “Festival of Magic” subtitle. In all of the available e-stores, the game will be present as such from then on. People who already owned the game (both digital and physical) will be able to get the new version free of charge."

What do you think about games rereleasing? I personally appreciate it when the developers make the effort. Ori & the Blind Forest Definitive Edition really improved upon the Original and removed some frustrations...

Depends. I usually prefer devs to just move on to their next game.

You can have a dev team make a game, and then have another game 2-3 years later, or they could continue work on the first game and you don't get game #2 from them until 6 years after.

Well, in that time, they aren't keep making or creating any new content, and that bothers me with devs.

I'd rather devs leave a small team of people to patch things up here and there and the core team move on to a new game....especially when it's a game that only did ok and isn't amazing.

I do respect them fixing mistakes though.

Kosic2342d ago

Earthlock is a decent game. Not a master piece, and not a broken mess. They could, as you said and started on #2.

Taken feedback and fixed any sort of gameplay that didn't work. Or just removed it completely (the planting system for example).

But they've spent the past months/year fixing a game that didn't need fixing.

Fix the save games and it might be worthwhile.

bloodyspasm2343d ago

Where there many issues with the savefiles? Either way, I bet they'll have used the opportunity to fix all known bugs... Haven't gotten to play it myself yet, but won a signed copy of the game from the devs on Twitter 😁🎁

conanlifts2342d ago (Edited 2342d ago )

From memory it was more how you save. I played it once for about 4 hours and didn't realise you had to find save location points. So none of my progress was saved. I got the impression save points were infrequent. It should auto save as you progress.

Plus there were reported instances of saves being wiped clean.

Kosic2342d ago

Reading your reply below isn't a game fault. It's sadly a user fault. Classic RPGs have always used save crystals or world maps to save on.

I don't recall having a saving issue, but I also don't remember if they clearly pointed out the saving system in the game either.

Kosic2342d ago (Edited 2342d ago )

Earth lock was an alright game. But they had a planting system where you farm seeds of different elements and levels to deal that ability (fire lvl 2 etc).

I didn't need to use this planting system till later on. Till it was forced at a point in the story line. (Around 60% onwards)

The game was forgettable sadly. Even being excited after the kick starter pledge I made.
There are better RPGs out there. Will try it again after the released model.

bloodyspasm2342d ago

I think it possibly thrived more on Xbox One (I don't have stats, but I'll ask them) since that platform has fewer RPGs

Kosic2342d ago

That's where I first originally played this title. It was free with games with gold on release.

When you start the game Neil will appear personally telling you about real world issues and call you all sort of names if you don't take action now and then you watch a whole movie and that's it

Crows9016m ago(Edited 14m ago)

Too much credit.

A good dev doesn't need to announce how good his game is...he just shows it.

You don't see Kojima glorifying his ideas like this and you don't see successful developers glorifying their "great" ideas before release.

It's going to be a shit show...reserve some popcorn.

Its a hard pill to swallow but the naughty dog we once had is long gone. Most don't realize it but eventually just like with bioware and blizzard...it'll be hard to ignore.

H913m ago

Neil just wants to be Kojima so bad, meanwhile Kojima is just like a child enjoying the world, saying whatever comes to his mind and having so much passion, man I don't even like his games that much but the man is just passion incarnate!

And the popcorn is always ready for Neil

notachance3m ago

Ever since Bruce Straley left it was like Neil lost his leash and went on full ego trip, not unlike Kojima tbh but at least with Kojima you can see how much he loved video games and how he truly want to push the boundaries. Neil felt like he’s just strutting around..

Can't wait for my physical. I got in on the 2nd wave. Had an email a few weeks ago but I was figuring I wouldn't get the game till July August. Well worth that physical edition though.

bRuud8352m ago

I am also waiting for the physical edition of the game. The game is on it's way to me so I expect it next week. Can't wait to finally start the game.

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Cacabunga5h ago

U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point

fsfsxii2h ago

can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg

Chard2h ago

Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne

-Foxtrot4h ago

I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.

I hope he does a new IP instead

Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.
