Satisfactory 1.0 AND Factorio Space Age same fall?
Might have to ask my wife to get a second job so I can take a two month vacation.
Yeah it’s… Not looking great for my productivity
When you’ve been in ‘beta’ for several years, is this even news? They seem to just try to use it as a tactic for free sales bumps when needed.
I mean the end of beta an entering full release is pretty noteworthy. Especially because there is a lot of content they have been working on over the years which is being held back for the end (most notably the story). After that Coffee Stain will either move towards making something new or creating some kind of expansion for the game.
It can be noteworthy, and I agree a story is a carrot that might be worth another go.
Thanks for explaining!
Well baldurs gate 3 was in beta early access for 3 years and it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece.
Your anger is misplaced.
Gamea would be better across the board if the developers and publishers all worked with players and tested the games properly.
There is abig difference between those two games though. With bg3 you got a limited part of a story driven game. You could never reach “endgame”. It was a horizontal demo. You get everything until a certain point.
With satisfactory the early access was the fully playable game from beginning to end. It is vertical. And since then they have just added more things. They will very likely keep doing exactly what they are doing now after the release. In one year the game will have more content than it does now and in retrospect, deciding which version in time is 1.0 is arbitrary.
BG3 will not get a 4th chapter in a year.
And games have been tested long before early access and similar models existed. Just because Bethesda can’t test their games doesn’t mean everybody else is shit too.
I think the marker of 1.0 is that satisfactorys story is being released then.
This would by definition be both the first and last time they’ve had a full 1.0 release announcement.
Is early access a new concept for you?
