Hyenas Is a New Multiplayer Shooter From the Team Behind Alien: Isolation - IGN
Sega and Creative Assembly have announced Hyenas, a PvEvP shooter from the team behind Alien: Isolation and Halo Wars 2.www.ign.com
public alpha sign up if you care: www.playhyenas.com
That is exactly what came to mind first. I don’t think a single one of those Ubi games found an audience.Ubisoft-worthy generic focus group driven videogame.
Nice.
That’s because he’s busy creating another bIllion dollar franchise…..Im not sure how good your game could possibly be if it looks like you ripped off the art direction of The Simms.
Cliffy last man on the B
This man shows up late to everything.
We posted a similar post at the same timeCliffyB realizing someone is trying to copy his billion dollar Lawbreakers franchise idea:
Can’t believe CA, one of my favorite studios for strategy games, would try to push out a turd like this. I’d play the Saints Row reboot over this.
Because when you get into a repetitive trend where toughts start to be confirmed with the game's release, you know it's no longer somone being on a poor coincidence but deliberate, as a dogwhistle. Notice that i'm very open to anything but at this point these games are very corporate driven.This thread is so cringe.
People freaking out over a non gameplay trailer because...checks notes...multiplayer + art direction.
Casual status building.
Probably a Point Break reference.No.
. . .also, why would someone be wearing a "Tricky Dick" Nixon mask in the future? Do modern gamers even know who this guy is beyond maybe FUTURAMA and/or hearing their name mentioned during (at this point) overused references to Watergate on Twitter?
Probably a Point Break reference.
The gang in the film were called the ex-presidents, they all wore different masks. I guess it is a cliché now, but so is the "Alien".Oh. Okay that would make sense. . .and be absolutely hilarious if an artist on this was referencing a movie that referenced a bad politician, instead of referencing a bad politician (Nixon masks I feel like are fairly ubiquitous in "heist" movies, like Point Break).
Sadly you might be right.Industry is finished.
Crash coming soon and many studios/publishers won't survive.
A little over-dramatic, but I do think that over this generation we will see enough multiplayer copycats join the big graveyard of multiplayer titles, to where it will finally shake things up in the industry.Industry is finished.

Game doesn't look too bad. I guess from the companys perspective, this hero-shooter-multiplayer-gaas-mtx-br thing makes sense. I immediately ask myself what the money spent on this could have accomplished otherwise. Something Shining, Crazy Taxi, Altered Beast, Border Break, Condemned, Dragon Force, Ecco, Fighting Vipers, Golden Axe, Herzog, Otogi, Phantasy Star, Sega Rally, Shinobi, Spikeout, Thunder Force ...
But then this forum and other social media sites wouldn't pay attention to their projects or worse yet, call their hard work 'a waste of time' or 'filler' during big showcases. There's no winning either way.At this point every talented team should just join forces and become independent. I mean, that way there is still a high chance to become successful. They could also start with smaller projects and work their way up, if they're having trouble gathering the right amounts of funding. Wouldn't that be cool? You'd be free from your greedy, soulless, industry-trends-chasing publishers.

Please. It’s been said to have been in development since 2018. They could’ve shown gameplay in this reveal, but chose to just talk about gameplay “elements” that have been littered throughout similar games for years.This thread is so cringe.

It's still terrifying, just in other ways.You go from making Alien:Isolation, a truly unique and terrifying horror game that still till this day stands against games in the same genre, to just another generic cash grab battle royale game that will get lost in a sea of other games chasing the same moneybag, sad.
Is that Amber HeardActual behind the scenes footage:
In case anyone is wondering:

And I don’t want to hear about covid either. I’m sure they could’ve constructed something better than this for generic edgy shooter the game.
Hey, I hope you get a lot of mileage out of it. I feel like it’ll be fairly mediocre. If it comes out and blows everyone away, I’ll stand corrected.Nah, I'm not buying this.
They said they were inspired by Battle Royale, with their asymmetrical engagements and high degree of variance...which is basically brand new thing in the industry.
We've choked on team based arena shooters for 30 years now and this game seems to be leaving that formula in the past. BR has been the most recent monumental shift in the industry and THANK GOD the this team seems to appreciate that fact.
This thread is just filled with multiplayer whiners who have almost certainly complained about every smash success multiplayer game released over the last 5 years.
As I said, it feels very casual in tone. It's not art direction over gameplay...it's gameplay over art direction.
There's a trend, this game tick all boxesThere is no "trend" as you see it.
We all complain about CGI trailers because they all tell us so little about the gameplay. However, as soon as it's a CGI trailer for a multiplayer game we hear the moaning of casuals because their magic 8 ball apparently understands how it will play.
Also, I find it hilarious to hear the "market tested, corporate driven" design complaint as if that isn't just as prevalent in the AAA single player space. As if the 200 million dollar single player games are all made by French auteurs.
