NMRIH 2 or.. How to destroy a game

[Seth]

Rework years of developement into few months of developement.

Offline mode removed
Only one map
PS3 Graphics
Garry's Mod physics feeling


So they sell a technical demo for 30$ with less content than the first game ?

All the bad reviews are deserved.

PS3 Graphics? You should go back and look at PS3 Graphics, the graphics in this game are pretty good, I'll give them that.

torn banner scrapped the TRUE nmrih2. really wish they never got their hands on this

to quote one of the comments on this video:

"Absolutely unbelievable to learn that NMRiH2 was damn near EA-release ready circa 2021 and was scrapped post TB buyout. Years of waiting, being strung along by nothingburger devlogs about 3d assets and soundtracks, and we get a pale imitation of what was already decently fleshed out 3.5 years ago. It's certainly far from perfect (even far from being a finished product) but the radial inventory menu, classic ammo variety, working animations/AI, infection/suicide mechanic, zombie children, zombie dismemberment, and 3 full maps ready to go speak VOLUMES compared to what's available for $30 right now. NMRiH was always memorable for its slow, methodical gameplay and grounded, cohesive atmosphere and it's clear to me that this build from the OG devs had that same atmosphere well underway while TB is modernizing the IP into an uninspired extraction shooter for a wider audience who never played the original. The "Early Access" promise of new content/improvements is one the industry has seen played out ad nauseam and does nothing to quell my ever-growing doubts about this game's future. Copium huffers may rush to defend their purchase, but I take a lot of issue with paying for a game that isn't just unfinished or sorely lacking in polish, but a game that has actively regressed in quality over its development."

Honestly the gameplay that they show in this video here looks decent at best. It does look better than what they released but not by much if I'm being completely honest. You can see there are a lot of issues with it just even then. Zombies sprinting infinitely into a wall, getting stuck on stuff, etc. That said, it looks a lot more like the original game did

They are REALLY good. Not sure what the OP is talking about. But I have a 4090 so...

The old nmrih game just looks like a clunky boring mess. Hopefully they turn this game into something better.

How people can find normal and legit to have something like this for 30$.. I mean.. Guys.. You hard earned money goes to this game ?

With less content than the first one at the release.
