Really makes me wonder as well what went so wrong when so much effort was put into creating it. This game deserves to be a AA title, like it has the makings of one. And it IS fun, it honestly is a fun game…but its so BROKEN…
What new features are coming to next gen ?

When I got here, which was only a little bit after launch, there was a lot more activity and a lot of it was positive (Fantasma and JH87 spam notwithstanding). But there was a very obvious lack of communication between the people who worked for Illfonic and the community. Many asked simple questions about fixes, submitted extremely detailed reports and lists and how to replicate them for devs to repair, and…nothing. Either the generic “we’ll pass it along, thx”, or no response at all. Thus began the aggression and frustration. And this continued for years, of Illfonic just not saying anything about anything. And during the Time of Darkness when Kass was here moderating, her responses were the same as well, “I’ll pass it along”. Now with her, it was interesting, because she did display a bit of transparancy with us; she would say that she passed bug info and other issues to where they needed to go, but would get no response from them. She even became as frustrated as us when it came to her employer and communicating. Now you can take her claims with a grain of salt of course, considering how tyrannical and personal she took her moderating, which likely is what got her removed. But if true, it lends some air to Illfonic’s internal practices, and how little they care about the state of the game.

I personally don’t think they don’t care about the state of the game. I’m more inclined, based on observation, that they just don’t know how to fix it because they’ve had so much staff turnover that nobody who was working on the project when it started still works there.
Obviously stating something like “well the developers of this game all left the company 3 years ago and we really have no clear understanding of how they did what they did” will look bad, even worse than just ignoring the inquiries of the playerbase.
Dont they have an office in austin? Shit if its feasable, apply with em seems like you care about your work enough to do what you did so far. I think we all just want the game to succeed cause it is a fun game minus the short comings which i think most of us would agree
I found out the price for the game when it comes to Xbox, generally $20 or £15 as well as the new predator comes free with it and the shield, crossbolt, and new combistick. I really can’t say that’s generally a really good deal that illfonic did there to be honest unlike there past predators

Supposedly. I’ve looked and it doesn’t seem like they have a real office space here. If I remember correctly they opened it right before the pandemic hit, and I haven’t seen a job posting for Austin ever since, so I believe is likely closed. From their website, none of the old offices are mentioned anymore, only the one in Colorado, while all job openings are fully remote.
I’d apply probably be a fit for the Gameplay Engineer opening, but I don’t have any relevant experience in that field. And honestly, I know game developers are on the bottom of the pay grade for software developers, even on AAA game studios. I’m 99% sure I make more money at my current job than what illfonic would pay. I make close to 6 figures when all benefits are accounted for.
if the release for Xbox is $20, that’s actually not a bad deal for xbox players
Well in that case fuck that lol
If they simply cant fix the game because of missing specialists, then they must have enough courage to make announcement about it. Being honest is important in communication with community. Instead of it, they simply milking us with new skins and minor patches.

Want to remind you that there are different predators with defferent voices and different screams. And they do sound EXACTLY the same(why? devs dont giv a fk thats why), until the mask dropped off. And pred player cant take of his mask by himself. It doesnt looks like they still care bout sound)

I really do wish that was something you could do, take your mask off. I know we shit on RPers a lot but it would be such badassery to go up against a premade and kill all but one, then willingly put yourself at a disadvantage just for brownie points and get the kill.
Ok most people (not everyone, there are some awesome people here) on this forum are a bunch of assholes who literally just shit on everything illfonic does for the game or anything good anyone mentions about PHG. Don’t worry about the hate man, if you like the game, keep liking it. I personally love this game, bugs and imbalances and all. Not saying it’s perfect, I would love to see some improvements and shit in patches, but so many people are just doomers who shoot down any positivity whatsoever. Keep on being excited for shit, I know I will be 😁
There are players who bought the game, encountered a bug, used their free time to play to catch this bug again, made a screenshot of it, recorded video of it, uploaded on some hosting and created topic in feedbacks s3ction with all that material to help the devs to fix the problem. And what they got in return? Mostly, doesn’t even get answer from any of devs. They did answer in some of topics, but most of them weren’t fixed for years. After some time, devs stopped to reply in feedback topic and even visiting forum itself, only making cheap announcements to sell not so good quality skins every half a year. And how a normal person suppused to react to such behavior? Of course people started to hate them for such offensive relation for games community.

No I understand, and that’s extremely fair. Illfonic ignores players, takes way too long to fix stuff or never does at all, ghosts the players, and more. What just pisses me off is when anyone tries to bring up anything positive at all about the game or the updates or anything of the sort and they are immediately just jumped on by 20 people who have nothing better to do. Just to clarify, I don’t think you’re doing that at all, in fact your response is genuinely well written. It’s just other people in this forum who can be a bit… abrasive
At this point I’ll think these post are just made by trolls just to get higher counts lol
