Playstation recently released over ten minutes of nearly uninterrupted gameplay from A Plague Tale: Requiem On their YouTube channel. This game was omnipresent at the events of Summer Game Fest, and it seems that its marketing is far from over. This makes sense, as This trailer also revealed that the game will actually release this year, specifically on October 18, 2022. The footage showed the main characters Amecia and Hugo wandering in several locations trying to escape from a garrison of guards who want to imprison them. There is a small scene in the beginning where the characters explain their predicament, but most of the gameplay involves sneaking around the guards and using several new Amicia weapons to take them out when possible.
Now, it’s not like the trailer is bad, not even close. The overall reception can be described as positive, and plenty of fun and interesting gameplay moments get fans excited. For example, we were finally able to see some smooth shots of Amecia using her crossbow and some really good animated ghostly takedowns. The overall stealth gameplay looked engaging, with a thoughtful level design that will really make you have to think and plan your moves. The graphics look great, the presentations look exceptional, and the most action-oriented moments are solid.
Some of the new game elements stem from Hugo and his impractical powers. By communicating with mice, enemies can be sensed through walls, allowing you to better time your actions. The end of the video shows a remarkably compelling gameplay sequence in which you control a horde of mice to annihilate your enemies, albeit only for a short period of time. It’s brutal and dark, no doubt, but that’s kind of what makes it cool, too.
The original game was a commercial success and was highly praised for its story and atmosphere. It was primarily a narrative-based game, and this sequel will undoubtedly follow in similar footsteps. So, it stands out even more when ups and downs like the ones we see here interrupt your immersion in the world. There are simpler things. At the beginning of the trailer, Amecia hits her head and takes some time to gather her directions; Obviously, the injury is serious. The voice acting continues to show this with agonizing tones and difficult breathing, yet the animation continues as naturally as if Amecia was leisurely strolling through the woods. These 10 minutes only showed several instances where the voice acting didn’t match what was happening on screen, as if it was poorly planned and then slapped together in post-production.
There is an example where the husband whispers when he is sneaked by enemies. Then they get caught, yet they keep whispering as if nothing had happened. The worst crime, pointed out by many fans, was that when Amecia stabs someone in the back, she literally screams like a killer even though it’s supposed to be a stealth murder.. Other guards who are no more than ten feet away, of course, don’t notice. When she kills another guard with her bow, he screams in excruciating pain, and an enemy approaches her Do Hear it. However, he proceeds to speak the more casual “He came from this way…” that I heard, as if he was he did not do Just listen to a co-worker brutally murdered.
Finally, many expressed concerns about performance. Fans reported that the trailer showed various instances of stuttering and complained that it didn’t even run at 60fps. This is the head controller since this game decided to release only on current generation consoles, which works specifically on Switch via a cloud version. If so, there is no obvious reason behind this game Not possible Runs at 60 frames per second. This might be some kind of typo in the registration process, but we just have to wait and see. Of course, the game seems to do the basics right – the most important things, like gameplay and story. But it’s often the little details that separate the good from the good. And since most of these issues can be fixed with some tweaks or removal of audio lines, we hope they’ll listen to fan feedback in the coming months ahead of release.
A Plague Tale: Requiem Coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Switch (Cloud Version), October 18, 2022.
