Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden Preview – XCOM Evolved I The Koalition

Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: Ever since Firaxis Games and 2K Games teamed up to release XCOM: Enemy Unknown way back in October of 2012, I’ve admittedly become a fan of not only the franchise but turn-based tactical video games as a whole. I’m constantly fascinated by this genre and how it presents players with challenging obstacles to overcome while granting them either positive or negative results based on how their initial strategies play out in real-time.

Last month, Funcom and Sweden-based development studio The Bearded Ladies announced Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a new game that is poised to take the turn-based tactical genre to a whole new level. Here’s some more information on the upcoming title and a brief overview of my thoughts after seeing the first official behind closed doors gameplay demonstration at GDC 2018.

This was without a doubt one of the highlights of GDC 2018 and is definitely a must play title for fans of the XCOM strategy games.

sagesurge2256d ago

This seems interesting and its nice to see a decent strategy game.

Chaosdreams2256d ago

This is on my radar - I keep an eye on any XCOM-esque style of gameplay (that I can get my hands on via console). This has the added benefit of being aesthetically unique too.

chris2352256d ago

i hope they manage this time to not sell a broken gameY xcom2 on hardest level kept crashing up to the point where i had to delete it. big bummer for one of the finest games this gen.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky4h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu4h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv7221h ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple10121h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo2h ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

andy853h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

i didnt even know there was a leak ha.

Profchaos5h ago

Wasn't a short detailed leak about 12 hours prior it was hey there's going to be a astro bot a VR game and a few other things specified but massively underwhelming leak tbh

Goodguy011d 2h ago

Was it really worth it? Oof

Profchaos5h ago

For this state of play not at all

Relientk7723h ago

This is news to me. I had no idea the games from the State of Play got leaked.

Jin_Sakai15h ago

I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.

CrimsonWing6916h ago

I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.

rayford1515h ago

I wasn’t disappointed it was a solid B

TOTSUKO13h ago

For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh

ravens5214h ago

Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste

MrNinosan13h ago

I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.

CrimsonWing6913h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

Silly me. It’s just a very few that are actually wanting it…

@CrimsonWings69
And you just proved what I wrote.

If Bloodborne was remestered or remade, it would still sell less than Final Fantasy XVI or VII Rebirth, probably be called a great succes from it's core fans, but most wouldn't care.

I love Bloodborne, I want a new release of it, but it's niche and has sold crap compared to most of Playstation Studios bigger titles.

Astro Bot will sell and mean more to Playstation than a Bloodborne Remake.
