Ah, too much talking.would rather they show us these systems they're talking about.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

is it the stream or the graphics look last gen?

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Cross Gen. Either way I think it's part wanting to keep the frame rate high and the simplistic aesthetic.

 

[sendit]

I'm a huge, HUGE appreciator and enjoyer of Bungie's FPS mechanical shooting and movement design, it's genuinely unmatched. But I strongly believe this will fail, and be catastrophic for the company. Sad times.

While I think you're right about this game failing. However, this looks like a low budget/side project for Bungie.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Meh looks pretty garbo, it's amazing they neglected crucible for this lol

 

[nikos]

18 players per map that's pretty big

Also depends on the map.

 

[near]

They're just huffing their own farts about how great they are. So why?

No not really. They're going into depth with gameplay mechanics and game design. They just explained that one of the classes has an ability to traverse quicker and builds up heat (stamina meter) and obtainable loot includes expansion cores. So no, I appreciate this deep dive, I like to know what I'm buying before I buy it.

 

[March Climber]

I think this game looks artistically/aesthetically good.

I will wait for a PvE-only update before playing it.

 

[Jigsaah]

What is the matchmaking like? Can you go in solo and end up against multiple teams?

 

[MayauMiao]

I am not sure what they are laughing at.

 

[midnightAI]

18 players per map that's pretty big

For that specific map, its different depending on the map (some maps may have even more for all we know so far)

 

[clarky]

I really like Tarkov. So this genre is great for me. I will need to get used to the artstyle. Very geometric and I wonder if the text on literally everything is actually helpful in any way. Also what is the map like? Do we know where we are at all times? Or is it like Tarkov where you need to figure out your location or go from memory

Yeah, I like the look of the game but they are doing a terrible job on explaining the loop to none extraction shooter players. Really needed a vidoc at the start like they used to do.

 

[Zuzu]

The gameplay mechanics look good, but I don't like the evolution of the art style. This slide that they showed when talking about the development of the art style/visual design demonstrates that they went too far in one direction. Imo they should have stuck to the middle art style rather than adopting the one on the right. The one on the right looks too cartoony and "blocky":

 

[nikos]

What I want to know is how much bullshit aim assist and bullet magnetism I'm going to have to deal with as a mouse & keyboard player.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Now they need to sell me on how casual friendly it may be.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

It is? I don't think it's supposed to look low budget though

 

[clarky]

Looks like the shooting mechanics are lifted directly out of Destiny so should give you a good idea if you played that game.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Extraction seems like such a niche style of game to put all your eggs in

 

[Buggy Loop]

I would hope this runs 120 fps?

right?

Unless things changed, yes, you can play solo.

 

[DarkK86]

That was awful... The art style is really off-putting. The game looks like it's in the stage where they are just about to add textures but even if they did, it wouldn't fix a thing. I hope it flops hard and puts an end to this trend of games.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

The 4k uploads are up on youtube. Great, if you love 30fps

 

[Shubh_C63]

What else to go after ? Extraction shooters are the one genre not been absorbed by casuals due to its hardcore nature.

 

[Wimbledon]

I would like to see the aliens , we saw the small ones, and i believe those robots. But i want to see what else will be more hostile too us, when we go on harder missions.

 

[nikos]

That's what I figured, so a lot lol. I never really played much Crucible in Destiny.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I've expected lore, PvE and way more refined visuals.

This game is aggressively targeted at PvP crowds even with visual style reduced to readability markers.

Hard pass.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

People say the "extraction shooter" is dead. What are the current big extraction shooters? Helldivers 2 and Tarkov? Tarkov isn't even on console. If done right, this game will be massive. As a primarily console gamer, I'm excited. Nothing else like this on the market

 

[mathello]

Switch 2 port will be easy.

 

[Katatonic]

Gorgeous art style

That 2nd gameplay trailer should've been the opener. Looks great!

 

[blacktout]

This is exactly where I'm at. I love the visuals and I'm intrigued by the idea of tons of loot and customization, but I've never played an extraction shooter before and a lot of what they're saying sounds like gibberish to me.

 

[Jigsaah]

Unless things changed, yes, you can play solo.

Yeah I know you can play solo. They mentioned that in the video. What im saying is that in Tarkov you can go in solo, but there is no matchmaking, so you could end up fighting an entire squad of like 4 players, some solo enemies and some duos or trios. Dark and Darker does things opposite where you know what the possible enemy team composition you could be up against before going in. Im just wondering how they are approaching that

 

[clarky]

Yeah this looks great. Im in.

 

[Jigsaah]

The inventory looks like Minecraft, another thing I gotta get used to

 

[Ogbert]

Genuinely sad.

An incredible studio reduced to this nonsense.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

That HUD is awful. All this glitchy effects.. yikes

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Man, these graphics are really terrible. I'm pretty disappointed here. Was dying for a great new Bungie shooter.

 

[flying_sq]

Probably trying to be what Fortnite is to PUBG. Tarkov made it "popular" and now a big company with a lot of money is going to take a run what could be considered unsaturated market.

 

[Shubh_C63]

This feels way more chaotic than your normal Extraction shooter.
Lots of normal critters to shoot at to keep the game flow ?

 

[clarky]

Yeah doesn't seem to be loads of downtime. Interesting.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Someone made a really polished FPS in Roblox.

 

[Jigsaah]

Ok now that I see Lupo playing....this game looks sick as fuck. I will say that watching this reminds me of when I first played starfox. My brain was not immediately recognizing enemies coz it was all polygons.

 

[nikos]

The footage is edited, so we don't know how much downtime there really was between all of this action.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

What's worse is I just know the tech analysis bros like Linneman and Battaglia are going to simp all over the visuals, being dishonest about it deep down.

 

[clarky]

The footage is cut, so we don't know how much downtime there really was between all of this action.

Games like this need downtime, lots of it.

 

[Markio128]

Gone are the days of a Bungie 1st person shooter with a quality single player component. They are going to charge players for what essentially looks like a f2p game.

 

[nikos]

Yeah, seems like they're mostly showing encounters. Looking forward to seeing a full run.

 

[clarky]

Gone are the days of a Bungie 1st person shooter with a quality single player component. They are going to charge players for what essentially looks like a f2p game.

All the leading extraction shooters are not free to play nor do they have a single player component, except the newly released Delta Force.

 

[Wimbledon]

This game is going to be cancer online i already see it.

 

[SCB3]

Well Destiny 2 plays great still so the controls should be fantastic as they are

But this is not Marathon to me, where the scary horror vibes for example, sure it has the weird cyberpunky thing going on at least but its not what I'd expect from that IP being revived tbh, think of it like this, RE:Verse is not what I want from Resident Evil, same applies here

 

[Jigsaah]

There should be downtime in an extraction shooter though. If it's non-stop flashpoints then you don't have time to loot. Really curious how big these maps are. They should be large with multiple places of interest to loot. Im kinda getting that sense from watching this. I really wanna see the map
