Is {that a} tingling in my ears? Has Kevan Brighting’s soothing voice returned to consolation my lobes? The Stanley Parable‘s narrator is back in a new trailer, and he’s obtained some regarding information relating to the event of the upcoming Ultra Deluxe version. Reluctantly, regrettably, and resulting from in style demand, it seems the labyrinthine journey’s second remake received’t be launching as deliberate this yr.
Between you and me, I’m beginning to query the legitimacy of those fan emails.
While it was s’posed to launch by the end of this year, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe in all probability received’t arrive till someday in early 2020. Oh properly. It’s not like we don’t have two editions of The Stanley Parable to play already.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is the third iteration of the sprawling self-aware joke generator. First concocted as a Half-Life 2 mod by developer Davey Wreden method again in 2011, Wreden’s teamed up with everlasting bed-head sufferer William Pugh to construct a business remake in 2013.
They’ve since gone off to do their very own issues: Wreden releasing thought-provoking “game about game development” The Beginner’s Guide and true-crime RPGs featuring Keanu Reeves, whereas Pugh’s studio Crows Crows Crows developed zany first-person comedies like Dr Langeskov The Tiger and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist, VR enterprise software program Accounting and a free night club MMO.
Ultra Deluxe sees the pair reunite to carry The Stanley Parable to consoles (boo, hiss and so forth). Ultra Deluxe will nonetheless hit PC, bumping the game over to Unity and provides a bunch extra laffs, gaffs and endings. They reckon the brand new additions quantity to about half the scale of the unique script, sufficient to justify a complete new model. After that, no extra. Three editions is greater than lots.
Until then, would possibly I counsel searching down that authentic free Half-Life 2 mod? It’s remarkably quaint, all issues thought of.
[Disclosure: I’m fairly chummy with a few of the folks over at Crows Crows Crows. Big fan of real crows, too. Brilliant wee things.]
