yeah they usually prerender gameplay videos with all the cool effects that your gpu definitely can't handle, so when you play the game it's going to be all dialed down. also jankiness

"Nihil" and "Inane" are ancient Latin words, and they both mean "Nothing". I wouldn't have much hope for a game from a never heard before developer with such a name, especially if it looks "too good to be true". Thanks for your videos!

[@mattyt1961]

double negative means it is something? (I say more hopefully than anything else_

[@TheSportsCore]

not exactly, 'nihil' is closer to the concept of 'null' or 'void' and 'inane' is a french word that comes from 'inanis' which translates better as 'meaningless', so 'nihil inane' would be something like 'meaningless void', which is much more dramatic than just the antonym of 'something'.

[@Pedone_Rosso]

@@TheSportsCore "Inane" is just Latin, no need to go to the French neo-Latin version. Of course it means "the void", "emptiness", "inconsistency", "the incorporeal". "Nihil", if you want, can also be translated as "zero", "nothing", "the void". Both terms mean "nothing" broadly, depending on the context. One thing though: they're both nouns, and "inane" can also be an adverb. No adjective, so you cannot translate the way you did there with "meaningless void". It's more like "nothing nothing", or "emptiness nothing", or any other odd coupling of adjacently-meaning nouns of the same kind. FAR from trust inspiring, in any case.

A better translation would be "nothing empty" or "nothing useless"

If you only follow big news articles, then it would seem like Squadron 42 "disappeared," but if you are a part of the community, CIG actually gives regular updates and roadmaps. It's expected that a release date will be announced later this year. Also, people act like it's taken forever just to make the game when the reality is that they have built an entirely NEW game engine to make SQ42 and Star Citizen. One that I'm certain they will license out to other developers as an alternative to Unreal and Unity. Will the game be any good? We'll have to wait and see.

[@valetboy21]

Just out of curiosity, because I am not in the Star Citizen community, how many times have their "roadmaps" actually been correct, and how many times have CIG had to "adjust" their initial estimates?

Such a great game. Played that for a long time.

[@latech7671]

The game I am anticipating most since I learned about it in 2018 and saw the (very rough) 2017 demo is Squadron 42. And while it sure is also a bit because of the graphics (I am somebody who can really appreciate good graphics or good art-style), it is also because of how the game is (as far as I understand it) structured and how the gameplay works: - Good mix of gameplay with everything from Space-Combat, FPS-Combat, FPS Puzzles and Jump-and-Run, Social gameplay, cutscenes, investigation in both Space and FPS, ... If they get the pacing right the amount of gameplay-systems at play here alone will help hugely with it not feeling as repetitive - The Mission-Design is very interesting. The general idea is this: You have 27 Missions and between those you return to the Idris (capital ship) you are stationed on and can then interact in more social elements, until you get the next mission assigned which will be briefed to you in the briefing-room. This is a pretty unique setup I think (at least for a modern game) as so many games let you choose what to do next and while inside the actual mission SQ42 will also have multiple paths to success, the missions itself seem pretty set from the start. The one mission we saw parts of in the 2017 demo I thought also had quite a good flow with investigation, a bit of Space-Combat then more investigation, flying to a new location and then stealth and FPS-Combat (and after that presumably an escape sequence) - There is NO big RPG-Level up system. I do think those make sense for games BUT I also do want some games that simply don't have these stats you need to level up and at this point basically every game has at least a bit of that. In SQ42 you do have soft-leveling which means the more you do an action the better you get at it but that is simply done during gameplay and doesn't force you to constantly read in a menu what to level up next. From what I can gather even guns and other equipment doesn't necessarily need to be bought but can be "simply used" due to the fact that you are part of the Navy and therefore have access to all their Equipment. It might very well be that because of progression you don't have access to everything from the beginning (maybe the more successful missions you do the better the equipment gets you can borrow for your missions) but I don't have an inventory where I constantly need to keep my equipment organised until the space is all used up - I mean, the tech is also a huge factor, but not only the graphics, also the features that actually have an impact on the game and how missions play out: No loading-screens, being able to fly everywhere (even if during the missions you will probably be somewhat limited as you are part of a Navy-Mission) and what is still somewhat unproven as due to Server-Performance we can't test it in the alpha yet: The Social AI (from what CIG says it sounds absolutely amazing BUT that's what they say and while I am by no means somebody that thinks they are lying it is also just their opinion and I need to make my own) - The Setting. To be honest, the SC-Universe is (for me) the perfect blend between StarWars and StarTreck. Not as fantasy as StarWars but also not that dedicated to realism, giving us a bit more freedom for fun in Lore and Gameplay. Also, most people don't even realise HOW MASSIVE the lore of SC already is (I too only know probably less than 1% of it) and the events of SQ42 are already existent in the lore (yes, there are quite a few spoilers in lore at this very moment) and I am very interested how they leverage this entire universe they already build for environmental storytelling - Voice-Acting/Motion Capture: I always find this quite hard to judge from trailers but the 1.5h Vertical Slice from 2017 I thought was very well done for what they are going for. Of course, the actors are also fun but to be honest I mostly enjoy those because of how other people react when they see all the actors connected to this project (and how basically nobody even notices Mark Hamill constantly talking during the last Trailer until they show him front-on). What I find most interesting here are the new technics they are trying to use for making all this a lot more dynamic/realistic: Walk-and-Talk (which is still very rare in games as it is extremely difficult), Characters stopping a conversation even when you don't look at them and give them your attention in some instances, dynamic conversations in the environment (what I found most "impressive" was when a character was simply coughing as I have rarely ever heard something like that in a game when simply walking around, ...) ... There is even more but this comment is long enough already. Let's just say I unfortunately have high expectations and I really hope CIG can deliver a good, hopefully fantastic experience here. I am of course very much the person who doesn't think they are blatantly lying (as I think my comment already shows) so I do believe them when they say they are feature complete. That does however still mean there is still quite some work ahead of them, especially for such an ambitious game and they already said they are only giving us a release-date when they are certain they can hit it (shortly before going gold was said). I personally expect it in the first half of 2025 but that is as much a guess as anybody can do right now

You don't need to take a huge dump on Souls games to say you prefer other types of games. It's a genre that deserves to exist as much as more "casual" games do. Most games people say will be "Souls like" never actually are, but that term sells, so they say it in marketing. Believe it or not, some people like challenge in their games. And when you decide to play a game, you will only ever hone the same skills as every other game you play, I'm sorry to tell you. 50 hrs playing Dark Souls is fundamentally no different than 50 hrs playing The Last of Us.

@@steamybowlofpeas3599 overstimulation we are spoiled with KZbin social media and instant gratification we need gta 5 level immersion to have fun 😂

[@zestysauze]

Go outside maybe

[@preay12345]

Not sure how the collection of Souls Like games are supposed to be 'too good to be true' They are all the same, Big boss fights that need pixel perfect timing and masochistic player base. I like the looks of Spine, puts me in mind of the Oni game from years back.

[@ageup7493]

Good to know im not the only one who won’t fall for this games “gameplay trailers”. I think you forgot Crimson Desert, that game looks to good to be true.

[@calebadair7240]

When Deep Down first surfaced I remember being blown away at the jump in graphics. Looking back today it still looks good but not as incredible.

[@SomeRandomRay]

First

[@shamrockjack3680]

I'm really surprised that you didn't mention Blight: Survival. That game is up there with the games I'm excited for yet incredibly skeptical about, especially after The Day Before.

[@residentevil4onps2]

Crimson Desert is my number one anticipated "too good to be true" video games.

[@junechevalier]

I’ve learnt to wait for release and not get hyped during the days before that

[@iamditzy]

I remember when we saw the first gameplay trailer for TLOU2 and we were all skeptical that it would ACTUALLY play as good as it looked. But also that was from an established developer with a good track record... much more reason to be skeptical about many of these.

[@CyberSpeek]

Shocked that Black Myth Wu Kong wasn't on here.

[@austinbond9785]

Half expected to see Blight Survival in here too

[@reproman695]

You should do a follow up video on the games that looked to good to be true and launched (like watchdogs originally).

[@TheGamer69-pro-gamer]

As anyone noticed that gameranx and mojo plays video release at same time😂

[@adamm5398]

Watching that phantom blade trailer for the first time, all I was thinking was “what buttons are doing this?!”😂😂😂

[@gilah718]

If even one thing from this amazing list turns out to be true, I'll be dancing on the ceiling full of joy :)

[@captainvimes6079]

Thought Jake said Gary Coleman and for a moment I was very impressed 💀

[@user-bd1kt1ew8s]

Nice list. Would you maybe be so kind and make a list of 3rd person action games that aim for "realisam". By that I mean no magical powers, fantasy but have limb dismemberment, shooting, ammo, damage. Max Payne 3 (without bullet time), Project TH (unannounced), Splinter Cell, Red Dead Redemption 2 ect. All of those type of games that would make a list seem to have a horror element. I can find any with modern setting and story.

[@Shervin86]

3:06 that gave me a heart attack... I was zoned in on the graphics and atmosphere! Cmon bird don't scare us like that!! 😂

[@biga2]

Really had to fight the urge to put silksong on there didn'tcha Jakey boi

[@RAZOR_regrets]

I’m surprised I didn’t see Crimson Desert in this list

[@fernandofeliciano6175]

Shout out to everyone in gameranx thanks for all these awesome vids!

[@MrOMMSSM]

I can't believe crimson desert is not in this list. That game is just so unreal

[@Shy_Hulud]

I'd love to see a video of games that looked too good to be true but turned out to live up to the hype.

[@keata1315]

As I'm watching this a Dune Awaking ad played🤣🤣🤣

[@marufulislam4311]

We definitely need to see more gameplay trailer's before we believe these games are coming.

[@atheist_addict]

The Day Before has deeply scarred all,concerned and I am all for previews like this.

[@crimsonraen]

Thanks for the video Jake! :) I'll be excited for them when they're released and shown to be good. :) I would be most stoked for Dune, except I don't really have time for an MMORPG right now..

[@_Victus_]

Pearl Abyss came to mind when I read the title of the video because PA basically announced that they will be making 3 games at the same time which is pretty crazy. I personally would put DokeV on the list instead of Crimson Desert as some people said in the comments because Crimson Desert was originally planned to be an MMO but they changed it to single player which is much more believable considering the graphic details are insane to be an MMO However for DokeV there has been no recent update regarding the gameplay at all compared to Crimson Desert which already released a gameplay trailer last year The other game is called Plan 8.... I'm not surprise if they even forget about this one

[@aaronsams8605]

Rdr2 proved we could have amazing visuals, gameplay, depth, and storytelling all in one package. The problem with these is the devs who are probably all unproven

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I hope I live long enough to see other games that equal, or surpass, RDR2, but nothing yet has in the 6 years since it was released.

[@kenoflexx5058]

That police body cam simulator game called Unrecord absolutely looks too good to be true 🤣

[@Calloflunacy]

yeah squadron 42! really excited to finally see it come out, and have the devs that worked on it come back over to the Star Citizen side of things and bring some of those features into the persistent universe. Can't wait for the UI updates coming soon and the new star map.

[@nicky_bobby92]

The division 1 those car door physics tho

[@BrotherKnowledge.]

Okay... seems like there are more and more games that are being made damn-near just for me! • Phantom Blade 0 • Spine • Project: The Perciever • *Chrono Odyssey* • Where Winds Meet If just *one* of those games came out each year, I will be one happy Gamer!

[@OG_Agrivar]

Honestly a little surprised that *Light No Fire* from Hello Games didn't make this list!

[@cenciende9401]

Really? We've seen what they can do with No Man's Sky so there's not much to doubt

[@Frost4Real]

How to make an unbelievable game trailer - use body/helmet cam style 😂

[@edserken5094]

As some already said, would love a follow-up to this when/if they release.
