    Armature was founded by many of the core Retro folks who made Metroid Prime. A shame their one big original game, 2016's ReCore, didn't quite land. I'd love to see the alternate timeline where they got to make their own stuff instead of dying because Meta decided to put its VR money into AI.

    ReCore: Definitive Edition (XSX) This game feels like a vertical slice that was stretched out to full length. Movement & combat are fun & feel good to play, but story is thoroughly lacking. Its best moments come after the credits, where it really does shine; sadly only for a brief, fleeting moment.

    Armature Studio got shut down by Meta. Founded by Retro Studios devs, they mostly did ports and helped on Fortnite. They also worked on Recore. I liked it, however the game was (literally) unfinished until the Definitive Edition. Just another great management from Xbox.

    Reminds me on ReCore. Interesting game but I couldn't get through the final dungeon. Like I would have loved some switch to turn off some of the more crazy challenges (Or at least without one specific challenge). So now it sits at 95% completion until the end of time.

    The loss of Twisted Pixel and Armature are big losses for Texas video game development (specifically Austin). Armature had a bunch of former Retro Studios people (they also made ReCore).

    genuinely looking through my backloggd by release date for what was the most recent AAA game made in the US that I thought was any good at all and i believe it was rift apart. before that it was either Recore or Prey depending on whether you count Recore as AAA.

    Yea, Recore is fun. It's definitely a video game first, which prob isnt the best thing to be as an xbone exclusive. The Metroid Prime lockon is a little dated, and I can see the game maybe getting repetitive, but it's enjoyable

    I actually owned a physical copy of Recore for a long time, but I never had the console to play it. An acquaintance worked on the game, and I was showing support by purchasing it. I think I finally sold it whole downsizing my collection in the last couple years (still no console to play it).

    I think Recore has a Mega Man Legends vibe to it, and deserves more love than it got. Is it a perfect game? Nah. But was it something nice from a new company whose only other published title was a flop from a washed up has been? Yes.

    It's interesting that there are now several PC games that use the DualSense features. The only PC game that comes to my mind that used the impulse rumble of the xbox controller was ReCore. There are probably others but that's the only game where I really noticed it.

    Everyone's recommending shows, so I'll zag and offer a video game. ReCore was a game that came out glitchy (eventually got patched) and sort of got memory holed. I bought it cheap on the Xbox store last year for a long weekend with my son, and we had a great time. No problems at all

    I've played games where I can have a pet to tag alongside me. One of the better ones is from ReCore. Each robotic pet in ReCore has a unique ability and you can customize the pets with parts too. That was one of the bright spots of a game I enjoyed but had its issues

    Not talking about Prime 4 but rather Recore. The game starts in a desert with your robot dog and despite not there being anyone to talk to, you talk to the dog, the dog responds you back in subtitles, the character speaks to herself, and then there's an unknown narrator out of context too.
