So this game is a year (or two) away still and "this game is DOA" vibes are already permeating the enthusiast circles. Why are these companies chasing Overwatch? Let Overwatch be its own thing.

Hey Bungie/Sony, there are literally tens of millions of us elderly boomer Halo fans who will throw money at you for a regular sci fi shooter with a regular campaign and regular multiplayer modes. Shit, even throw in a BR mode if you want.

its not overwatch its still an extraction shooter....guys read the article not the OP lol

 

[Zacfoldor]

Oh dear. Concord 2.0. Even the Bungie name won't make a 40 dollar hero shooter popular. Spesh if its like Apex which is dropping players as far as I know.

Bungie deal already looked awful. But it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Sony really are going to shit.

Also Marvel Rivals is launching this or next year. Free to play. This is such a packed genre that their last game shut down in a few weeks, FROM LAUNCH. Just why. Who is this for?

I look at hero shooters as an individual shooter, team shooters are different and you can’t tell me hero shooters are better than call of duty, none of the hero shooters are bigger games than Halo in its prime, Gears of War would give “hero shooters” trouble, go back to battlefield vs cod battles, controlling capture points, game battles vibes. I think hero shooters are the best they’ve been but what’s a concern for hero shooters is it being a trend, a bunch of people are in the dark about the next halo, the next gears of war, my point being arena shooters carried the 90s, 00s, and every time society falls in love with a type of shooter they end up dying out in the end. Call of duty has a gas tank, battlefield will make a run, and I’m curious about gears of war, halo and the odd rainbow six, ghost recon, uncharted multiple.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

an extraction shooter.

 

[Dictattor]

Hero shooter?

 

[{insert code here}]

Please let this be 2025. Best case scenario (for entertainment and laughs) is to see this Bomba launch near the switch 2 release.

 

[Little Chicken]

Another $200m+ down the toilet

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Paul Tassi lol

 

[DeepEnigma]

Paul Tassi lol

Paul Tassi is a shill.

He is writing hit pieces for Disney on Star Wars Theory.

 

[clarky]

This gets worse every time I read some new info on it.

It's now a hero shooter instead of extraction?

Just fucking cancel it already.

I read it as still an extraction shooter with different "heroes" that are customisable. The way they described the Heroes are basically D2 Guardians with abilities like double jump etc.

Not sure why every is "LOL DOA" at $40, all other extraction shooters on the market are priced similarly.

The Art style is the same as the reveal which is a plus.

Like i said in the other thread, Bungie always seem to pull something out of the bag, ill wait for gameplay before writing it off.

 

[BlackTron]

A $40 hero shooter? Well if they tone down the DEI maybe it'll get to 5k players instead of 800 or whatever it was.

Interesting that people actually wish for bad games to be released.

Odd.

 

[demigod]

I knew this was another Taul Passi article.

 

[Revolutionary]

Hero Shooter

 

[Gojiira]

Sounds like Ziegler doesn’t get it then…That original idea of having it be more like The Dreaming City sounds way better
An extraction shooter with secrets akin to Destinys secret missions and Raids sounds fantastic…Hero shooter with none of that well sounds familiar…I suppose it can still be good, Bungie are good at making the shooting part but it sounds so ‘familiar’ and safe atm I just dont see the point outside of that sexy art direction.

 

[amigastar]

Why Hero Shooter? Why not Marathon on Steroids like Doom 2016/Eternal?

 

[ultrazilla]

 

[BennyBlanco]

What could go wrong with another $40 hero shooter? Hope they bring in the professor to bring this one home

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I almost can't believe some peeps at Sony actually greenlit this and thought this was a good business decision.

 

[{insert code here}]

Odd.

Interesting that people actually cape for multi billion dollar mega corps.

Odd.

 

[TransTrender]

Oh my, I was really hoping this got canned.
Maybe it will get the Concord and BatGirl treatment as a tax write down.

 

[Bry0]

It’s an extraction shooter first and foremost still with heroes ala apex, not just an overwatch clone. It’s in the article that none of you actually read apparently.

Game is probably doomed either way so not like it matters much I guess.

Cape for what? id just like to see more good games. But you cheer for shit games, thats whats odd.

They root against GAAS because they think PlayStation can go back to being a SP company. It's weird. It's strange. It's wrong.

For once we agree.

Bungie have yet to make a single dud so they get the benefit of the doubt from me.

 

[Nydius]

$40 price tag, admitting they’re going head to head against already established, and F2P, Apex?

Dr. McCoy, paging Dr. Leonard McCoy.

 

[Kacho]

Will they kill it after 2 wks as well?

Let’s see those open beta numbers

 

[Sleepwalker]

Hero shooter

 

[GymWolf]

Man in shambles told me it was an extraction shooter...

That's not what the article says. At all.

Its an extraction shooter, if you read the article. Title of the thread is misleading.

 

[BigBeauford]

I would love for this to be a more accessible Tarkov. If they nail the gunplay and don't make me study a physical map because the game lacks a map and compass, I might be into it.

[adamsapple]

• 2025 will be a tough target to hit. Sony wants it to come in 2025 and "if it doesn't = bad"

 

[pasterpl]

How many years is this in development now?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sony is so over Bungie at this point, lmao

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Sweet! Hero Shooter! About time we got one of those!

Sweet Hero Inc.

HYPE!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Sounds fucking awesome!

I think the greater problem is that people believe Paul Tassi. It's OK to be skeptical as he's just repeating all the recent rumors here and adding a few plausible vagaries "that could change" to get clicks.

 

[proandrad]

Hero shooter

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

Sounds unappealing. I will watch it burn from a safe distance.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Same. I'll start being open to the doom and gloom after we get a real look into its gameplay loop. As of right now, all the incentives are there to spread doom and gloom to the gullible masses.

Also where is James Sawyer Ford ?

 

[clarky]

Seen as everyone seems to love just reading incorrect titles by my man Draugoth ill quote the article.

" There are heroes with individual personalities with a few unique abilities each, ie. double jump, fast revive, invis. Though as an extraction shooter, the gear and guns you find during runs are the most important part however, and can be customized a lot. There are gameplay buffs you earn from XP that apply to all characters in different changeable skill trees."

If anything it sounds like an extraction shooter with a Destiny twist.

Dude kopped a ban. I don't understand why.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

This is getting cancelled. Count on it.
