I bet they will avoid that at all cost until release because... yikes.
Good for Human Head. They have been struggling with badly received games (The Quiet Man) and cancelled games (Survived By). At least this will give them some stability.
Don't know about Survived By, but The Quiet Man is their fault lol
Given the last few years Human Head have had - from Prey 2 falling apart due to Bethesda attempting a hostile takeover, to making one of the worst games of last year - I don't blame them.
At the school where I studied game development, Rune 1 was really popular with a bunch of Artists who played the multiplayer often.
THis doesn't look good. Granted, I don't remember the single player in the original at all either. Like, I don't even know how they thought this trailer would get anyone excited.
It was all about the multiplayer in the original. Throwing huge weapons at people that instantly killed them. I hope the multiplayer is good because this looked terrible to me.

I'm sorry for Human Head Studios if they don't get a hefty bonus too and not just the publisher (and glad if they do). As a dev team it's been fucked over too many times. I'm not buying any EGS third party exclusive but I wish them (HHS) the best anyway. I think it's the kind of studio that could make a gem with proper funding.
In their defense, they were only the developer on that one. Budget, time and the decision to release it are also down to the publisher.
That trailer looked atrocious. What has Human Head been doing for the past couple decades? Has there ever been a studio around for so long that has achieved so little? Does everyone over there work for free?
An Epic Store exclusive From game would be a memorable meltdown for sure.
Starve the competition! Apparently running everyone else out of business is what some people want from their hobby.
Hopefully Rune 2's a sales disaster.

i swear some studios are just cursed
they all opened some pharoahs tomb or built their headquarters on ancient burial grounds or something

I'm fairly certain that Human Head agreed to EGS exclusivity and the guaranteed money because they know it will be a "sales disaster".
Anymore when I see a pc game announced, I just add one year to the release date or ignore it if its egs exclusive permanently.
Edit: they used steam to test the beta? Lmao talk about adding insult to injury for the fans

I BELIEVE THEM THOUGH
plus it's good business and good business should be celebrated in all forms. competition is always good for us. even when it isn't. that's literally econ 101 and I'm sticking to it
Same, but have no idea if I'll remember the games exist once the year is up.
