ESRB: Hunt Showdown 1896 leaked for PS5, PC, Xbox Series

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
"This is a first-person monster hunting game set in a antastical version of the Victorian era. Players use bladed bats, clubs, brass knuckles, and pistols to kill zombie-like creatures and human rivals. Combat s highlighted by impact sounds, gunfire, and blood-splatter effects. Some weapons allow players to cave in zombies' heads or to cut off their limbs. One type of zombie explodes into blood and viscera when killed; another type is depicted wearing human skin as a cape."

Not really a leak. This is their "relaunch" on new gen consoles. The huge engine upgrade and lots and lots of changes. Coming in august. I cant wait to jump back in on PS5 this time
I've been playing again the last few days and console lobbies are nuts. I think everyone but hardcore sweats are taking a break. Quickplay was like 6* Central all night.
 
Might be time to jump in.

I always liked the setting, but something looked off in the PvP combat to me. It’s weird seeing those character models strafe while taking single shots at each other.
Maybe they just lack some momentum in the movement or something.

It always reminded me of the pvp of a very old FPS game set in the Wild West with Duke Nukem 3D style graphics. I don’t remember the name, but I’ll google it now.
It is: Outlaws (1997) :)

The movement is very "realistic". Of course I mean videogame realism here. As in, weighty, you see your legs, vaulting is highly animated, tons of fall damage, long animations etc.

The game has a very grounded feel to its shooting and movement. It's all about picking your shots, stealth and positioning. If you're doing the strafing cha-cha in the open you typically already fucked up a bit to get there if that makes sense.

They showed some indoor clips showing off a new (realtime?) GI system.
I don’t think it is going to look vastly different, it’s more of a performance upgrade if anything.

Edit, this is the video:


I'm sorry, but I'm sure this dude knows what he's talking about. But it's hard to take him serious being that he looks like that with the spikes, ear rings, and hair LOL!

We have all tried these hunting type games and I can’t think of one that was successful. What they need to do is create one where the players face off in a pre historic setting against dinosaurs where traps and players use and have to level up sticks / darts / slingshots / bows and the like.

Different maps for ocean / swamp / attic / mountain / deserts / etc to fight across.

That I’d buy in a hot minute
 
My friend group, or “crew” for the more hip, have been on a steady diet of Hunt for the last two years and it quickly became our main obsession. Needless to say we are greatly anticipating this re-launch. If you haven’t given this a try, I’d strongly suggest you do. The setting, the gunplay, the challenge of getting to the point of reliably getting kills is better than 98% of the options on the market, humbly speaking of course.

Best extraction shooter by far.

I frequently jump back in for a week here and there.

Imagine if their next game was:

Same theme but modern weapons.

Or

Future ala Crysis but with this gameplay loop.

—-

I think this game has the best skins in any game out there. I’ve bought so many. I just wish I could use them as a transmog without a cost.

Man I loved Outlaws. Remember playing local multiplayer over an old school direct connection LAN.
 
That would be glorious. I loved Hunt at launch, but I get bored of multiplayer stuff pretty quick these days. The setting is perfect for a single player story, however.

This.so much

I bought Hunt for the XSX a couple of years back, put some 20-30 hours on it and got bored, can't do multi-player games anymore.

A SP game in the world of Hunt would be glorious
 
Currently 6* MMR, feel free to add me if you play on east. Looking forward to later this week, would love to get a GAF gang going. My Steam url is in my profile about.
 
So I finally bought this game on PS5. But it's not a great start so far...

The first tutorial crashed at the beginning (at least all I saw was some UI elements in pitch black, couldn't even call the menu, had to close the game).
The game is REALLY dark indoors, can't see shit (even with brightness cranked up)
Matchmaking takes forever...

Hopefully this will be improved upon, because I think I'll like this game

There will be issues and bugs since this is a huge update and engine change. Game just gone live on new gen consoles. Im sure lots of old players will come back for this update, just give it some time
 
Yo this new UI is fucking comical. Even on console. This is insanity lol. It's the most unintuitive nonsense I've ever seen. Just wow. Who, why? The designer:

Also all settings completely wiped is obnoxious.
