Is this still only made by one person?
It's in the double figures now I think

Bright Memory was an earlier version of this game IIRC and done a long while back; Infinite is a sequel and a lot of games have gone from mediocre first entries to great sequels.Still hyped for this game even almost two years later; if what's in the clip is indicative of how it might look on Series X it's still easily up there as one of the best graphical showcases of the early generation. And I just like how the visual style looks, seems like a Hong Kong kung-fu flick and monster kaiju rolled into one (just without the monsters...maybe?).
Also the main female character?
❤ she's looking extra fine.

Oh that's not bad then. I'm more open minded w/ small dev teams after Kena so hope this turns out well

I bought an played Bright Memory, which is basically a glorified demo of a game in early access.
Gameplay is rather fun. Combat mixes some sword play and gunplay, in interesting ways.
Boss battles are fun and engaging.
There's also a couple of puzzles, but nothing complicated.
That demos showed some promise, so I'm hoping the final release is a good game.

Voice acting is not the best but looks like fun.

Its got slick graphics. Hopefully the gameplay is good too. Made by a small team and I dont think theres been any info/clips about it since that first video a year ago?

The voice acting in this is terrible. Hopefully they will have a Chinese language option. Graphics and gameplay both look great so I'm looking forward to some trusted reviewers ideas on it

I thought it was, but I dont think it is. I thought this game was part of that Xbox video where they they said every game shown is on GP. Might be wrong and it was shown in a different promotional video..

I liked the previous one a year or two back. Cool to see this one releasing.

A shame that the Xbox Series X version isn't launching simultaneously with the PC game, as Xbox fans have been eager (with trepidation) for this one since it was supposed to be out around launch. I hope it turns out well, the original Bright Memory was a suicide-slurpee of game ideas rather than any specific flavor and it didn't really master anything it tried to do, but it looked nice and moved fast and was convincingly exciting for a time, hopefully the final is all that but with a more clear taste.
FYI, some time after the Xbox release, Bright Memory Infinite will also be coming to PS5. Priorities of platforms are in place (I'm so-so on "timed exclusives" but it feels right for Xbox fans that they're getting a window of this being their own for a while,) but eventually everybody will have a chance to check it out.

This is a remake/expansion of Bright Memory which was released in 2019.

The first Bright Memory episode was but he hired a number of more people in making Infinite

That might be the case in a sense but the developer's also said it's a lot different from Bright Memory which I assumed was more akin to a prototype for what they really wanted to do in Bright Memory Infinite.

Bright Memory was developed by one developer.
His studio at the time of self publishing had one developer on the "team"....himself.
He used a bunch of "free" and "cheap" softwares to basically cut his dev costs and work in half.
Youll be amazed what "solo" developers can do these days, software has gotten so good for basically pocket change these days if you dont mind some people pointing out theyve seen some of your assets in stores then you could make AAA quality games relatively easily.
You could stay in the Unreal Ecosystem and pay nearly nothing till you make a million dollars
Unreal for Engine.
Blueprints for nigh literally all the programing.
Mixer for the textures.
Quixel for smart materials.
Megascans for assets.
UStore for effects, scripts, other assets.
Metahumans for characters.
Blender for assets you want to make/tweak.
Total cost.
Basically 0 dollars.

If we're just going by the trailer anyone could make something like that.

The original Bright Memory was an episodic game of which the developer left behind after getting about 50% through the first episode. This is essentially a pretty large expansion of that episodical game.
My thoughts on this release really haven't changed from when it was originally shown, on a technical level its doing some nice things graphically but even with that I just can't get away from the fact that it looks like a really cheap, low budget game with absolutely no artistry. It looks very much like a PS3 or 360 game that's been made to look as shiny as possible.
Fair enough if people enjoy it when it's released but there is absolutely nothing about this that excites me.
Perhaps I'll change my mind somewhat when reviews hit and they show some proper unedited gameplay rather than the quick cuts the trailers have shown, I would be surprised though. It would certainly be good to be very wrong about the game.

You mean, he "acquired" games and "re-purposed" their assets and what not for his "game". Apparently he has 9 years of experience .. (interview with a YTer, with 900 subs and 50 views).

Looks great!!! Day one when it releases on Series X!! Would have liked it to be this year but early 2022 is no biggie especially when Ray Tracing will be in day one. Still have the demo to play but have been waiting for Infinite to get dated for Series X so I can play the demo a few days before.
Looks like a pretty solid effort, the actual combat looks more enjoyable than shit like borderlands. Kinda gives me hard reset vibes in that it should be an enjoyable ~6 hour game with the core assets being recycled through out. If they can step up for their next game like flying wild hog did with shadow warrior will be interesting to see what they do.
