This looks a bit generic, but this is the stand out for me in the last State of Play from Sony. I'm not sure if its open world but it reminds me of GTA/Watch Dogs and the graphics look top notch. Also big plus is it comes from IO Interactive. I played their Hitman games and I loved them.

Its too bad, the game is an open world set in the modern world. We don't get a lot of that these days.

It sucks because the overall idea of the game is neat and i like the visuals.
But you could see this coming the moment they claimed early criticism was only there because Rockstar had a smear campaign going against them.

The moment they said that, you could tell the game would either be super buggy or barebones as it gets.

 

[psylockolussus]

I would still play it when its very cheap. Apparently, the game is also very short. About 7 hours.

Cohh was about to start his sponsored stream but the dev canned it.

One person, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect their career, told IGN there’s no word yet on exactly how many staff are affected, but the standard 45-day consultation process starts today, June 23, which according to UK law is triggered when an employer proposes 100 or more redundancies within a 90-day period. IGN understands Build A Rocket Boy currently has around 300 UK employees, with around 200 abroad.

Still not looking into the Mirror does he?
No, cant be because he out of pure greed forced a game release of a game that wasnt finished.
No it was people inside the company that messed up, but not him.

Insufferable and it will hurt the studio only further.
You already lost many people with the whole "Rockstar pays for a negative campaign against us", now with this...not a good look.
