Game Designer plague team sounds so wrong if you would just tell that to Joe Schmo.

Huh, a third one? Considering how it ended
modern day rat plague? would be great to explore a small city/village but I highly doubt they can pull it off

Would be way more interesting if they can pull it off. Feel like the two Plague Tales carried the rat formula as far as can go for that period setting.

I loved PT1, what they achieved with that small budget was a small g'damned miracle, from the graphics, to the music and general atmosphere it was a game that had "soul" and its shortcomings could be forgiven.
Enter PT2 : a fucking wannabe Uncharted/Naughty dog game where they tried to bite more than they could chew, everything was dialed up to 11 to the point of being not only ludicrous and hyperbolic but fucking comedic , that rat-nado in the final chapter with you shooting at it with a canon was just lulz ffs but, besides that, the enemy A.I remained as braindead as ever as did the mediocre animations and generic stealth gameplay, they pretty much exhausted their options and I don't know if I could personally muster a 3rd one.
Also : most annoying voice overs of the past 10+ years, Hugo's incessant whining and Amicia's constant grunts and sighs were absolutely shite.
1st game was an 8/10, 2nd one a 6.5/10 due to all the bullshit.

After the emotional gut punch ending of Requiem, I don’t see where they could go afterwards, unless it’s something drastic. We’ll see in some years, I suppose.
Innocence still currently has the best story and writing between the games though, imo.

Unless they make some drastic improvements to the gameplay I’m not sure I’d be interested in a third game.
First game was a very pleasant surprise with its setting and themes. But I feel like the second one improved almost nothing. If their direction is ‘more of the same’ I’m out.

Bizarre requirement for a job listing:
You have played Plague tale 1 and 2?
I can see a million players waiting outside of their offices with a resume that reads "Have played Plague Tale 1 and 2" and nothing else. LOL!!!
Doesn't Asobo make Flight Simulator for Microsoft? I wonder how the team can work on something that seems so huge and overwhelming in scale and still have put out 2 Plague Tale games in the time frame that they did? They must have a huge develop team. It seems mind boggling.
I wonder why Microsoft doesn't acquire them?
Also going from Flight Simulator to the jank of Plague Tale seems jarring.

It's a sly way of increasing sales, this is how you market your games.

More cities and thousands of people for Amicia and Hugo to destroy and murder.
Definitely not Hugo though

Moderated wildly
Enjoyed them both and have huge respect for the studio. I'm in on whatever they do next

I would honestly want it to be Amicia continuing her travels with Sophia and Lucas, and nothing to do with a modern day plague. That’s the only way I could see the story continuing and it feeling impactful.

I made it to the end of the first game, but gameplay wise it became really annoying towards the end. Felt like your random modern Western-developed action game a bit too much for my taste. Because of this I did not have the motivation to try the second game, because I already know that gameplay segments are going to be super annoying. But well, might give it a try, it's in Game Pass I think.
