Definitely a day 1 purchase for me as well, no other game has the same amount of love and polish as Factorio does, both when it comes to the vanilla game and mods, and I know they will deliver a good experience with the DLC as well.
However, I am worried if it’s gonna be enough to stand out among other games in the genre. It has been many years since Factorio last got a substantial content update (maybe too many) and in the meantime we’ve got a lot of similarly-genred games like DSP or Satisfactory that have raised the bar in areas that Factorio lacked. I hope F:SA has enough meat on its bones to substantially change the core game rather than just more of what we’ve already played.
I really appreciate that Earendel also got to voice some lines here. The crossover with the mod is undeniable and him being involved with the company now could have been handled differently elsewhere.
You and I both know we’re going to buy this day 1.
One of like three for me. Ghost Ship Games and Re-Logic also have my trust.
Bay 12 Games as well, though I doubt they’ll be putting anything up for preorder for another 30 years or so, lol.
Besides that, I can’t think of any other studios. Been burnt too many times before.
Oh fucking hell. There goes a year of my life
I just can’t right now.
Stanfield comes out in a couple of weeks, and I got friends begging me to try AC, and Baulders Gate is a time sink
I’m gonna do it anyway, The factory must grow
I guess you’re lucky since the DLC is not coming out or at least another year then? :P
awesome news !
as expected this will be an “easier” version of space exploration, but that’s not a bad thing, specially for people like me that couldn’t finish space exploration, pretty cool to see that Earendel is on the team as well.
