I'm still worried about Hopoo not being at the helm on this one, as I trust Gearbox about as far as I can throw them, and since they're a whole ass company of people with a building.... not very far.
I did love Risk of Rain 1 a shit ton though, so I hope this turns out well!
Hopoo are helming Risk of Rain Returns. Gearbox will handle all future projects but this is the last Hopoo project in the franchise.
Thank you friend, that makes me feel a ton better! Well better about Risk of Rain Returns, still worried about future Risk of Rain 2 though.
I loved RoR2 and appreciate the effort they are putting into this game as a labor of love, but I really have to question if people care for a 2D RoR game after the sequel got so much attention.
I remember reading a lot of comments reading the opposite in the months leading up to RoR2 releasing. People were extremely skeptical about the game moving into 3d.
Going back to 2d might not be as big of a hit as RoR2 was but I'm sure it'll do fine and the increased name recognition should help get some sales too.
I would. I like 2, but i love 1. 1 is just one of those games ya know.
Maybe an uncommon opinion, but as someone who's invested hundreds of hours into both games, I actually prefer the 2d experience of ROR quite a lot more than the 3d of ROR2.
I do. It's not likely to be as successful as RoR2 but I would love an enhanced version of the original.
I'd love for some additional ror2 content instead
Gearbox bought the risk of rain franchise a while back so I would assume they have plans for it.
Embracer bought Gearbox, and recently laid off tons of people. Don't be to hopeful.
Risky Rain with, presumably, working netcode and (hopefully) doesn't crash after a few mins in multiplayer? Sign me the heck up.
