Set piece

Thank you.

And I mean, much like other character action games like Bayonetta and things like that, you have so many cool set pieces across the games that, you know, hint at different genres and things like that.

So what is making those

like? The first time I decided to add an Unreal shooter sequence, my biggest co-collaborator, Deadeye, who does the music for the game, He said, Goba, are you stupid? act one still has an open world and all of the rest of the content to make because if you've played carter's quest the first unreal shooter sequence comes at the end of the first dungeon and i had not even finished the dungeon the game was supposed to come out in four months and i hadn't even made most of the open world or any of the second half of act one's content and he's like you're stupid like i love you man this is not gonna work out and i said no it just needs to be in there And thankfully, I'm a programmer for the most part.

It would be whatever.

But I put together that first Unreal Shooter sequence in only less than a week, I think, three days.

And it was just like, putting together all of the things i already had plus a little bit plus dead eyes amazing music that the whole thing is choreographed to it all just comes together supernaturally now act two's on real shooter sequence that one took quite a bit longer um but you know when it comes to set pieces it's like They're often bad ideas, but I kind of think they're the things that people remember.

Oh, for sure.

the, the, like the...

It felt, it felt like watching the, the tension was more about the little set pieces.

Like, there's little-

Aye

They probably look like me with this fucking lighting on [laughs] something, to be honest, but.

[laughs] Um, let's talk about some of the set pieces.

Uh, what did you think? Of course, Gears' known for the linear structure, but we do talk about these action games having these big wow popcorn moments.

What did you like? Did you like all of them? Did you, did you vibe with everything through act one through five?

Yes, yes.

[laughs]

But yeah, I think the, the set pieces are really good.

I think they, they do very well of bringing back just the Gears 3, or the Gears 1 through 3 set pieces you know, where, like, yeah, you're up in the helicopter.

But again, I think the combat feels pretty decent.

What was never good were the boss fights or any of the set pieces.

None of them really stood out.

None of them were that exciting.

And I didn't leave the game feeling like I would remember any of them.

they just none of them really stood out in any way shape or form so that is probably going to be a big disappointment for players because i think that's something a lot of people love about the spider-man games i've still not played spider-man 2 but i've heard people talk about some of the set pieces in that game i don't think there's any set piece that people will be like oh man that was really really exciting you're fighting a lot of sentinels in the later sections of the game but none of that is all that exciting I was expecting maybe some more hints towards the X-Men, maybe a cameo, but you get none of that.

There's just an after the credits scene, or maybe just before, where Sabretooth is meeting up with Apocalypse, but that wasn't really exciting enough.

Essex is dead.

It has the good graphics.

It has, like, the set pieces.

I, I kinda think it does play into the, the mainstream that, honestly, we'll go probably even see Doomsday or get all hyped up about it, and may even be like, "Oh, okay, I want a Wolverine game or something to play"

Right.
