Shadow warrior 3 release date ps51/1/2024 ![]() ![]() It appears the characterization and dialogue of the game's characters have been affected too. The Shadow Warrior games were always vibrant and colourful but were always grounded in reality and they never looked like candy land. Tonality shift - This bleeds into the previous point. Now they're the ones mimicking the copycat? The whole situation is weird, and in SW3's case completely unnecessary. DOOM 2016 pretty much copied Shadow Warrior 2013 wholesale and got all the credit and recognition that FWH should of received three years prior. Aside from this being a disastrous mistake it is also incredibly ironic. Yet somehow during all the confusion they came to the conclusion that copying DOOM Eternal would be the best direction to take the game in because it was popular. Of course the smart move would of been to combine the best elements of both games and then refine and polish it to death to create the ultimate Shadow Warrior experience. A percentage of the community/fanbase loved SW1, another percentage loved SW2 and the rest simply loved both. Loss of game direction - It's pretty clear that FWH didn't initially know where to go with SW3. ![]() They switched to Unreal, which means SW3 will ultimately look and feel less distinct (nothing against Unreal, but by its very nature it's more generic and cookie cutter than proprietary engines). Not only was this engine on par with many industry leaders it was custom built from the ground up for FWH's games and the devs knew it inside-out. Both SW1 & SW2 (and Hard Reset if I'm not mistaken) were built on FWH's own kickarse in-house RoadHog engine. They switched game engines during development - I personally feel this is when the rot started to set in for both FWH and SW3. They probably should of just stuck with Devolver Digital. We'll never truly knows how deep the ramifications of this decision went that said, everything we've seen and heard since suggests this was a bad thing for Flying Wild Hog, and therefore Shadow Warrior 3. The devs got bought out - Now this isn't an inherently bad thing, in fact it can often be a good thing. Here, for those of you that lost track of it all over the last five years I'll give you a summary: Fix for a bug where aim-assist could slow down controller movement too much.Yeah, but who the hell wants to pre-order this dumpster fire at this point (physical or otherwise)?
