Darktide take notes

Why cant darktide do a roadmap like this? Nothing planned? No ideas? Indecisive and cant keep promises?

I love darktide with all my heart i cant get enough but a part of me hopes Spacemarine 2 cant be my new time sink and get me off darktide. I play it on xbox and they just dont care. The game runs horrifically on console with no help coming and we will never get basic QOL mods ported over for us because pc players dont need to complain about it as they have access to the mods so why bother. It feels like an abusive relationship i keep going back to because i can see the good in it and what it could be.

At least I know that I can wait late 2025 to try this game (horde mode).
Real thanks!

Because they have structural and managerial issues drag out any sort of timeline, internal or external and it’s easier for them to not communicate things than it is to fix the underlying issues with their organisation.

Yea i thought that too its bs that they are drip feeding basic features like horde mode prestige ranks and even private matches don’t look like its gonna be day 1. No games can get it perfect lmao.

Really keeps a large playerbase for them doesn’t it

It’d require them to actually have a functional base game already, and a clear process of development planned out with the necessary internal structure to consistantly meet the targets.

I don’t reckon they gots it, man.

Because the last time fatshark tried it they could not keep up with the road map. It did not help that the entire community went ballistic and roasted them to death for it. (Mostly justified)
They ain’t doing that with a sequel when basic features are not even working properly.

Nice Poster.

Says nothing about the potential issues on release or if they will really release all that “promised” content on time.

Have you learn nothing from living in capitalism all your life?

because it would be a disaster , they couldnt hit the targets the studio is clearly struggling with increasing its size and maintaining output.

but at least FS are not flat out scamming you like SM2 publisher is. that holding your access back when you pay full price just so they can gouge you for more is a flat out bullpoop scam.

holy LOLS i hadnt actually looked at that roadmap…

season 1 adding monitor support and lobbies. thats extra content? i would of considered that base game stuff myself.

season 2 a mission a difficulty an enemy and a weapon… sounds like cut content to charge twice to me.

Welcome to modern gaming. Where devs release unfinished games and the players are praising them for it.

What is crazy to me, is Saber doesn’t consider Space Marine 2 a live service game, but Fatshark considers Darktide a live service. Yet, with Darktide, you are staring into the void to figure out future content. Maybe because Saber took the time to make the foundation of the game complete, they have the time and resources to actually roll out content seasonally.

If FS did that, they’d stick a roulette wheel in the middle :joy:

The first season is launch genius

World War Z also had a roadmap in the beginning. whowever, since then, i have not heard from them at all, and when i ask about updates, all i get is, “We’ll announce when it’s ready"

yeah and those features are coming after launch genius

they are the ones billing it as season one content

Partly because they are woefully slow and incompetent.

Partly because almost none of them are actually working on any content at all. After the botched release, 90% of the team worked on the xbox port. After the release of that port, 90% of the team switched to working on the PS5 port. There’s almost no one actually working on the game or content for it.
