MindsEye - A 3rd Person Shooter developed by Ex-GTA developers.

[CyrusHowler]

I said in the GTA grieving thread that I might make a thread about this game. Since it releases in about a month and a half, I figure a thread should be made about it.
So far, not much gameplay has been shown but it has the protagonist of Mafia 3 as the protagonist.

These are the types of games I really like but who knows how good it will be. They’re charging $59.99 for it so that's nice of them at least.
Here’s one of the trailers.

Nice trailer I guess.

This is the "official gameplay trailer" on the same channel of the video you posted:

I mean, it's fine, but can you play golf in it?

seems like an unproven IP, probably more of a wait and see thing but the gameplay looks ok

 

[DeadwastePrime]

what this reminds me of, based off what ive seen from trailers, is if like they took watch dogs and mafia definitive edition and merged them into a singular title

 

[CyrusHowler]

I need a full on 10-20 minute pure gameplay trailer to decide if I want it or not.

The reveal trailer made the game look like some generic UE5 slop.

“Slop” is all you types know how to say.

MindsEye has suffered a leak of gameplay footage.

Looks like Cyberpunk 2077 to me. I can't believe that releases in June of this year.

Watch dogs is a more apt comparison. Cyberpunk has air strafe and free mantling allowing you climb environents with some degree of skill expression. This looks like a more 2d stuck to the ground affair.

Yeah, I can see the Watch Dogs comparison. Although, with Ubisoft games, I'm used to the screen being cluttered with UI elements. It looks fine, but not worth full price.

 

[CyrusHowler]

Yeah I won’t be paying 60 bucks for this unless it’s got absolutely rave reviews from non shills.

Remember that MindsEye is created under EVERYWHERE's backbone as a UGC centric game similar to Roblox. That explains why the "faux-open world" feels barren.

 

[CyrusHowler]

This game comes out in less than a month and there’s barely any gameplay nor marketing.
I’m still hoping it won’t be terrible as it and Mafia: The Old Country might be the only things close to potentially resembling a GTA like experience in 2025 now that GTA 6 has been delayed.

I never even heard about this game until now. But, does seem it can be fun.

There's a tweet (A) regarding a preview build of MindsEye with "negative feedback" attached to it.

Previews for Mindseye (by former Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies) are out and they are not looking promising at all.

A quick rundown:- Reportedly a broken mess, filled with bugs.- 15 hours long story- Driving feels “stiff”- Cut scenes look great and are well animated- Enemy encounters lacked depth and enemies just “run at the player”- Combat generally feels fine, very-GTA like - “Arcadia” is the content creation mode that you can get into by stepping into a portal, only available for PC at launch - Arcadia can be used to build encounters around the map- Developers seemed to hint that the main city (Red Rock City) doesn’t have much content and will be a focus post-launch- Previews think the game should be delayed

Co-CEO of MindsEye developer, Build a Rocket Boy, claims that the negative reaction of MindsEye are from paid conspirers by Rockstar Games.

I knew that MindsEye was built from the EVERYWHERE platform when it was announced; I recall they outright mentioned it. I'm not sure how that was lost as they were marketing the title. People calling it a holdover for GTA 6 have their expectations wildly unrealistic, to say the least. I don't think it's worth the $60 asking price, but comparing a new studio's first game to a highly anticipated blockbuster is setting yourself up for massive disappointment.

Greaaaaaat.

I’ll pick up a cheap disk copy in a couple months.

 

[The Last Stand]

From the footage I've seen, it reminds me of Agents of Mayhem, Crackdown 3 and the reboot of Saints Row. Everything looks standard fare. Nothing in particular stands out since we're used to this open world format that GTA 3 pioneered several years ago.

And it'll be competing with Mafia: The Old Country come August.

Now THAT, interests me.

 

[regalterry]

Look utterly generic, the protagonist is a nigger and the project lead plastered his name on the Steam page blurb, which is never a good sign.

 

[Hermiöne Granger]

As long they have these soy infested SBI inserted black characters with that stupid super gay rasta haircut, this game will be DOA.
