It's a line of progression that doesn't make much sense to me.

I'm on mobile so I can't take a screenshot but there's a quest list, with 'collect 40 bear asses type quests' and all.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Feel the Wang.

 

[KainXVIII]

Well, previous game was arena shooter (which was nothing like original)

Yeah but how do you go from arena shooter to loot shooter is what I'm wondering.

 

[antitrop]

Borderlands 3 is taking longer than expected, so there's a gap to fill, I dunno.

 

[Fractal]

I don't know, but I lost interest completely, which is a shame considering I enjoyed the first game. Have no interest in procedurally generated games...

 

[Ronin Ray]

That is a mouth full but I hope they add co op to that list of stuff .

 

[Sou Da]

It has co op, naturally.

 

[OnionPowder]

I'm a bit more interested in this now.

It's not like this was going to top Doom anyways.

Speaking of, how did Doom go from a super fast FPS to a slow paced horror shooter. Designers decide to switch it up and sometimes it works.

 

[The Boat]

That's very, very disappointing.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Open-world procedurally-generated loot shooters are more popular than arena shooters.

 

[Ronin Ray]

So its a open world procedurally generated loot Co op shooter now? What else can we add to this game?

Comparing this to Doom 3 makes it even weirder for me.

 

[A-V-B]

Imagine Plinkett's voice when I say:

Oh....

 

[Big_Al]

You're right in that it doesn't really make sense from how the Shadow Warrior 1 was laid out but it's basically just the game that they wanted to make essentially. The footage has looked fantastic so far though so just giving me a reason to cut things up is fine by me. I'm looking forward to it a lot.

That is a mouth full but I hope they add co op to that list of stuff .

Has 4 player coop.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Ooooooo cool, I had no idea they were going this direction, ima check this shit out!

 

[family_guy]

When I hear procedurally generated my interest immediately tanks.

 

[Sou Da]

Hobby grade co-op* + epic Wang heroes!

 

[Easy_D]

I don't care that it has loot or random generation, as long as it's fun and the levels generated don't feel same'y or dumb I'm in, gameplay-wise it still looks like a ton of fun.

That is a mouth full but I hope they add co op to that list of stuff .

They already did.

 

[Schlomo]

I think it sucks too. And no, the last one was not "just an arena shooter", I thought it was a pretty good modernization of the original.

 

[Ronin Ray]

I do love my Wang Epic

Has 4 player coop.

So will it be just 4 Wangs running around?

 

[Sou Da]

For the record, I don't think this looks bad just very unexpectedly different. It already looks a million times better than the Borderlands games gameplay wise.

 

[Easy_D]

Yeah, they lock you in at points but a lot of it is just general FPS level traversal with enemies here and there.

 

[Big_Al]

That's a good question. I 'think' it's supposed to be that each player is Wang but they appear different to the other players in coop on their screens. Maybe the TotalBiscuit video will show more, not had a chance to watch it yet. My biggest hope is that they've beefed up the weapons other than the katana (which was always superb even in the first game). Thankfully it looks like they have.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I expected them to expand on the ideas of the original - which albeit a lot of fun was technically an utterly mediocre game - not scrap them and turn the game into some lootwhore RPG coop shooter, specially after playing Doom.

 

[Sou Da]

I believe it's Wang to every player and on their screen the other players appear as generic ninjas.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

WELP, my interest in this game dropped to 0.

 

[Big_Al]

I believe it's Wang to every player and on their screen the other players appear as generic ninjas.

Ah ok thanks, that would make sense Hell I mean if you're going to go that way anyway let me choose some crazy skins to use.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Because four wangs are better than one, really.

I do think this looks like a sizeable improvement from the last game, especially from a gameplay perspective.

Hopefully the armor you get is actually modeled on the characters. Haven't heard much about it.

 

[Granjinha]

Well, the core mechanics seem to be there (as in the combat seems a better version of the first one), they just changed things up. The videos from the game are quite good.

Also, it's not exactly procedurally generated. All the leves are hand-made, what is procedural is, like, environmental stuff (storms, day/night, etc) and since these levels are made of "rooms", the way the game alocates the rooms changes everytime you begin a level.

I think it will surprise quite a lot of people.

 

[lucebuce12]

They should've had 3-player Co-Op, and named them Lo Wang, Mid Wang and High Wang.

 

[Movalpolos]

That's one way to completely kill my interest.
Oh well, one less game to buy. I'm not hurting.

“The levels are randomly generated,” Paweł Kowalewski, one of the game designers of Shadow Warrior 2, told me at PAX.

“If you look around,” he said, turning to face the several people playing the game on different screens behind us, “everyone is playing the same mission, but each of them is playing on a slightly different level layout, or in different weather conditions or a different time of day. So, we want to keep the experience fresh, whenever you’re replaying the same mission, or restarting your game.”

I love everything I'm seeing except the number pop ups on bullet dmg. Should be easy enough to turn off though. Adding loot to Shadow Warrior hits all the right buttons for me personally.

 

[RK9039]

Wait what... loot shooter now? I love the first one and I love loot so I guess I'll keep an eye on this.

 

[jacob armitage]

While thats not the direction i would have liked, i did enjoy the first quite a bit and will stay optimistic.

Yep, i cant see how it is a bad things.
And coop, good coop will be amazing in this game. Me and my friend I cant wait for it to release. One of my the most anticipated titles of this year for sure.

 

[RK9039]

Damn, there seem to be so many different upgrades.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Might actual have replay value now.

 

[Grief.exe]

So it's Borderlands with good gameplay?

 

[Sou Da]

Looks like it.

 

[KissVibes]

This is what happens with a relic of an IP and no idea what to actually do with it, after making a competent and moderately enjoyable reboot. You throw a bunch of shit at the wall, borrowing from current popular mechanics, and hope it sticks. Doing a lot of things competently instead of doing a few things extremely well, basically.

Maybe they still have ever time to make it a survival and crafting game too.

 

[NIN90]

Flying Wild Hog is still the developer so nope.

hard reset was dope

So was Shadow Warrior and the incredibly underrated Juju.

 

[NIN90]

Lol Hard Reset was terrible. It's a "classic FPS" by people who apparently have no idea what classic FPS play like.

 

[Data West]

procedural generation is what's hot right now
