ARC RAIDERS New Beta Gameplay Demo

Audio sounds great as well

I am not into extraction shooters but this looks very polished and interesting. If it releases around Marathon release date then Bungie is in trouble.
 

One hour of gameplay but with commentary

Looks cool.

Art direction looks cool and gunplay seems a lot better than The Finals (Finals gunplay sucked major ass).

Would've loved to be able to get into the beta.

Might end up buying both, but this will put pressure on Bungie, because they really need to show much more on the content side, as ARC seems to be what Marathon should've shown already.

Edit:

If ARC and Marathon release around the same time, I'm not so sure this will be a guaranteed success at the expense of Marathon. At least, not on consoles.

Doesn't seem like the kind of game with much pull.

This studio of ex DICE devs are quite productive (The Finals in 2023 and Arc Raiders most likely later this year). Props to them, they must have some very good dev pipeline (yes, I'm aware they're not done by the same team within their studio), and they kinda remind me of Respawn.
 
If you guys like their work, can't get into the test, and want to support these guys, go play The Finals. Always been a fun game.
 

oof

Looking at it versus the initial reveal, we have something completely different. Will still give it a try anyway. Has some Division vibes.

 
I only mentioned it because there's a multitude of youtube videos showcasing it. So that was my assumption that they started going live with it.
Streamers have had access for a couple of weeks now, the embargo has just lifted.

Us mortals are left hanging as usual. It goes live tomorrow.

Sounds like Marathon, in the sense that there isn't really anything that sets it apart, except maybe the 3rd person persective.

In the same vein, the argument could be made that you can just stick with Tarkov, DMZ, Warzone, to get a similar experience.


At the end of the day, people should just play these games and enjoy them for what they are. Or not, depending on personal tastes.
 

oof
It's wild because that's how I felt about looking at Marathon. I felt like there was something more here, but I could be wrong. Maybe it's just the presentation and all. The latest trailer was done really well.
 
Quickly googling it, some game features

- Solo queue or team based. You can even play solo against bot AI only
- When youre killed you can keep limited loot you can stash in your "safe pocket"
- Gun upgrades
- Skill tree
- Prox chat
 
Seems alright but I need to play it and get a feel for how it plays. The videos I saw all just make it seem like some generic fps pvp game right now is my only issue.
 
PVE looks good
proximity chat
Character creation is a +
I do like drops coming down like a fireball from the sky
Lighting is good

But It kinda remind me a bit of division which im not crazy about. Not a fan of that type of aesthetic but id be blind not to understand the appeal. Not a fan of 3rd person either.

Probably will pass but I do hope for their success though. Wasn't a big fan of the finals played it briefly but didn't come away impressed , this does look better than that.
