Trust me, its gameplay is ok and a red rail mechanic is a good choice. You do not want to struggle with platforming in this type of game.
Also it does not feel spongy at all.

Well the good
The atmosphere is pretty good...they nailed the soundtrack and there are small nods to the movies all throughout the game
the bad
The frame rate on pro is atrocious and the aiming mechanics are stiff and rigid
the spongey enemies are only really saved by the fact the NetCode is shit and they just appear or randomly stop
I have not played as the predator yet but out of the 20 or so games I've played it hasn't won a round
the game objectives are pretty boring and you pretty much just run from beacon to beacon killing spongey enemies and the predator usually realises he can't win by doing nothing so he shoots at someone and gets revealed and the whole level basically opens fire on them killing it
I don't think the final game is gonna review well
edit
Have played on pc....you have to enable cross play in the menus
frame rate is much better but it's the actual game that's the issue

What type of objectives would have been better in your opinion? Puzzle solving? So collecting stuff, destroying stuff, activating stuff and killing is not enough for you?
It seems a person who played as Predator sucked big time in your matches.
Have you unlocked everything in the demo?
Have you played in all 3 maps?
To be honest people if you are fans of the first film, you won't be disappointed.
The game is not the issue. You won't find a similar experience in other games. It is quite unique.

To summarize your message sounds like this: "I do not like interesting MP games, make more cinematic SP ones".
No, it was not a waste. It is the best depiction of a cult film-Predator 1987 in a form of video game.

Not sure how I feel. The shooting feels off, Predator didn't immediately feel as fun to play like it was with Jason in their previous game, but I love the concept so I'm going to give it a few more games

I get the feeling you are trying to defend this game.....it's not fun and it's not very good
If we look at games like Friday the 13th which is similar you had to work together to get car parts or find ways to escape....this game you just move to the next point...click the box...shoot the sponge enemies and get to the chopper
very stale and boring....the NetCode is atrocious andyou combine that with the framerate.......not sure why u are trying to defend it

Of course I defend games with good gameplay.
The thing is that you are not a fan of the Predator franchise and this game is aiming at its fans. Especially the first film.
Also it seems that you are a huge fan of Ft13th, so no wonder you are against this one.
Predator in P:HG can destroy easily the fireteam which does not work together. And it is not my fault that people you played with sucked at it.
What you described is not what I experienced. And do not lie to people here about it. There is more to do in the game and skirmishes are better than those in your favorite Ft13th. Probably you prefer teenagers fighting with spongy Jason and spongy zombies in RE(R) games?
Again LOL at spongy enemies. SMH

Do not worry. I am relaxed. I just exposed him here and I understand that some people are into games about Barbie and Ken's adventures.
The thing is he cannot cheat somebody who experienced this game already.

You asked for an example of a similar game that does it better and I gave you one...I'm not really a fan of that game either
I have been playing this trial since it went up and double dipped and tried the epic pc version just to see if the experience was any different and it was the same
I have unlocked quite a few of the guns and perks but the gunplay is definitely not this games strength
i am a massive predator fan but this game just doesn't do it for me...you are either a massive predator fan or a massive ps4 fanboy...not good for you if you are either
I am hoping the trial identifies the issues with netcode and enemy ai
The game needs some sort of movement and gunplay tweak similar to ghost recon/division...it's really janky...the soundtrack is boss though
if you want to team up to prove me wrong about the game you can hit me up on my psn captainra1ncoat or my epic if captainraincoat

It seems that you do not like asymmetrical MP games.
What is a good example of great gunplay in FPS shooters to you because I have not found anything bad in this one?
To be honest I have a doubt that you are a massive fan? Have you experienced a very specific thing playing as a soldier that every Predator 1987 fan wants to experience, and it is not possible in other games? You should know as the fan what I mean. Also what is your nickname on avpgalaxy website? I, myself, am a massive fan of the franchise (only first two films) but I choose only good products based on it. The last ones based on my standards were some comic books and a Predator: Concrete Jungle game. Also I was very sceptical in the beginning about P:HG until I watched enough footage from its pre-alpha demo because I thought that it is impossible to pull it off properly on OG PS4 and I was never into MP games as I found them boring. In the end I was expecting a dynamic arcade type of gameplay without unnecessary stuff and the trial delivered it big time. Like the 90s fun is back. Also it does not feel like a copy of other FPS or generic.
One more thing. I am a gamer since early 80s, so it is not like I have played 5 games only in my life to not know anything better. It was gazillion of them.
The issues you experienced with netcode are not the same for everyone and enemy AI should be an annoyance (not sophisticated), not very competitive for balance reasons.
The game does not really need a different movement and gunplay tweaking. It works fine in this game. You just want to have this game made in a completely different way for your personal needs. I guess, mainly TPP for soldiers too which will break immersion and similar disorientation found in Predator 1987.
We can team up, but how is it going to prove anything? And if you do not like the game already, how you will be motivated to play it properly?

not a hardcore fan but a general lover of sci-fi and alien type movies and if you grew up around that time it's hard not to like arnie movies
The predator movies I consider good are 1 and 2 and predators (which rehashed part 1)....these movies captured the sci-fi and hunting predator experience.
predators I'm convinced Shane black has a bet to see how badly he could fuck up a movie....some interesting ideas with the super predator but that whole team would of been dead if the same rules as 1 and 2 had applied.
what would I like to see
Get rid of the npcs....you can literally walk right into the middle of the camps and start firing away without consequences...I know predator 1 was largely like this but
they are dumb...the NetCode issues make them appear and jank all over the place and the bullet spongey npcs are just annoying
the guns should never be the only way to kill the predator...if we look at another similar game evolve...you had traps....different abilities......either I missed something but this game has none of that
if you and your team were able to bait and outsmart the predator it would be a much more rewarding experience gameplay wise
One thing I absolutely love is the sound design ...the small details like the same buzzer going off in the chopper drop...the predator curdling
the predator I don't think is the actual problem with this game....it's everything around it.

You are honestly better not even using the plasma caster or nets as the predator...you are better of simply equipping the blades....killing one of the fireteam..cloaking and then kill the guy that comes up to rez and rinse and repeat
i would love the ability to be able to trash talk as the predator like in part 1...surely they can do this

This looks amazing to me.
The sound effects, the strength, speed, and agility of the Predator. This game is a dream come true for the younger me.
Now if I only had another game console accompanying my Switch right now.

Played on pc and on Ps4 slim.
Pc graphics are good and the frames were smooth.
Ps4 slim the performance was good, but there is a lot of aliasing. It felt like a Ps3 game... The graphics reminded me of the last gen Wolverine game.... Kinda.
The game has no bots, so if a player don't join the session or get disconnected, well... You're kinda fucked.
The customization options were ok.
Playing as a soldier is extremely boring.
Some players lagged as hell, specially on pc... Server issues?
Playing as the predator is fun.
Overall, so far, is a skip to me, it has some good things going on, but also some bad things and for 40 bucks I don't think it's worth it... Maybe it should be a F2P game, they could sell so many skins and customization options.

The netcode issues i think are its downfall...they highlight how bad the npcs are and also reveal bugs

I am not sure about the netcode as it does not happen to everyone but AI is especially made to be an annoyance, not another element to worry about too much. Also I have checked some gameplays put on YT and I did not notice the spongey npcs in their matches. They died the same like in my experience.
The rest is just your personal expectations of ideal Predator game but it is OK.
Also there is some stuff to fool the Predator in the game but not environmental traps. There is not even time in the match to do something like this as soldiers should aim to accomplish a mandatory mission and side ones if they have enough time. They should be always on the move.

Been playing a lot of this. I think it is pretty fun, especially when you play stealthy with traps as the Predator. You can really mess with people.
I can't seem to figure out the stealth finishers on other players. It says you can when you hit them with the net gun or they have low health. Any ideas?
Would like more kill animations and they need to add the laugh when the bomb goes off. I think it's worth 30$ but 40 is stretching

Are people really experiencing netcode issues? I haven't experienced anything of the sort on PC. Just experienced minor bugs and jank, but I'm having a great time.
Only really issue I've experienced are the queue times, but they're looking into them, so...
illfonic has done a great job with making you feel like Jason and the Predator.
I'm just still really bummed about the whole F13 thing.

The netcoding and the jankiness is hard to get through. I do love the authenticity but performance wise its a bit messy.

Probably the game puts you into a role of whatever side is available if you choose quick play.
I wonder if it is possible to shoot down the chopper. Has anyone tried that as Predator?
MiguelItUp

I just think it really revolves around when to strike. If you don't pay attention to the Fireteam's objectives, you can lose as a Predator pretty quickly. Gotta know them good choke points.
Plus if you're too offensive and too defensive as a Predator, you're not gonna win, haha.
I tried as it was leaving and it didn't look like any damage was being done when I did. But I wonder if you get to it before Fireteam if you can destroy it. Maybe it just takes awhile.
I mean, if illfonic added the Predator's self-destruct, I almost feel like you have to be able to do that in terms of detail, haha.

I really liked this but I hope they improve the graphics. They looked a bit rough on PS4.
Yeah it feels like they went with a $40 price to milk the first wave of buyers because they know that's the only substantial amount of sales they're going to make. This will be free on PS+ within 6 months.
For sure they will be selling more skins.

I wish the 1987 Predator skin wasn't pre-order bonus. It should be the default skin in the game. I hope they add skins from other movies too.

No, I am not a developer. Again this game aims at Predator 1987 fans. What is so hard in understanding this? And if I read BS in this case, I call it out.
Just bring real constructive criticism here.
Also I was very sceptic about the game when it was announced because I did not believe they can pull it off on OG PS4.
And I do not talk to myself. In this case I am not interested in conversations with those who have not watched the first two Predator movies and with those who have but do not like them.

Played 2 rounds. Both times as Predator. Played on PC. Runs really well and there's no doubt that it really channels the franchise and especially the first movie very well. Sound design especially deserves a mention. Haven't played as the Humans yet, but I could see a group five really enjoying this game if you have the numbers. Overall it's better than I expected. It doesn't come across as a full $60 type AAA game, but it does seem like a pretty good $40 AA game. If priced appropriately, I could see myself playing this with buddies when we need a break from other games. If they priced it at $25 I could see it doing really really well.

This game has potential but it just feels so janky and buggy that it's hard to imagine it improving in time for release. Like Friday the 13th, this is probably being pushed to release too early.
