How would you shoot and control yourself. I admit some videos make it looks slow, but when you get someone who is using the traversal well it looks perfect!

That's kinda why I was saying it was most likely just me.

 

[abadguy]

Grinding is looking pretty fast on this stream.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That city looks incredibly dead.

That's cuz everyone is dead.

 

[FeD.nL]

Traversal looks so fun and fast. That's something you didn't see in those previews.

 

[T.O.P]

That city looks incredibly dead.

...

 

[abadguy]

That's cuz everyone is dead.

Yeah that's such an odd criticism i see leveled at this game. Takes place after everyone has turned to monsters. It's like asking why there was no traffic in Dead Rising or Resident Evil 3.

 

[Sabrewulf]

Dead Rising, JSRF, Prince of Persia, Diablo, Destiny, Infamous, Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawk, Crackdown 2, Mario Kart, Prototype... I mean does this game even know what it wants to be?

But is it Dark Souls?

 

[Ape]

He's easily the best traverser (is that a word? now it is) that I've ever seen.

 

[Grisby]

I really need to get back to Horizon 2, but I just don't have the time...
.

It's gonna be one of those pop in every couple pf months for me. Same way Titanfall has been.

Dead as in boring...it barely has any enemies or anything to do aside from grinding and sliding.

Are we watching the same stream?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Did you just watch free roam for a minute and that's all?

 

[T.O.P]

IZ BEAUTIFUL

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Did you just watch free roam for a minute and that's all?

I get it that hes waiting for MP match, but im paying attention to the world around, and I cant see much happening, and im basing this on other videos and gameplays i've seen. The grinding mechanic is cool (as it was in infamous and JSR) but it looks like the whole game is based on that...the world looks boring, adding color doesnt make it interesting.

And you may think im being fanboy or wtv, but this was one of my most antecipated games, but the more I watch it, the less I want it.

Edit: The popin looks very very prominent as well.

Watching him go from one side of the map to the other:


- The traversal is eeeexcellent once you learn it. Perfect mix of Ratchet and JSR grinding.
- City design overall looks fun and with good traversal lines once you learn it
- The sliding on the water is awesome
- I like the size of the map. Small (3 minutes from one side to the other), but I'm perfectly ok with that. Never had a problem with Saints Row's map sizes, for example
- I would like **just** a bit more variety in the city and environments.

The map also has an amount of verticality to it. So it's not just as simple as this is the map, that's all there is.

Of course, accounting for that.


Edit: Oh yeah, and there's still the air dash to unlock :O

 

[Rurunaki]

I thought this was suppose to be "hectic fun." Why is the city so bland..

 

[igRossMcIntosh]

sp00nerism had a good stream last night, not sure if he posted it but he was really good at the traversal as well.

He's just exploring outside of missions waiting for a multiplayer match.

 

[sangreal]

maybe you'll get matched up with this guy that has been searching forever

 

[flaxknuckles]

This game desperately needs some grinding and jump tricks to spice up the traversal.

 

[Rurunaki]

I don't think that's a valid excuse as to why the city is devoid of activity.

 

[abadguy]

I did see some people doing an air dash move on the other stream

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Wow. Looks good with a good player playing.

 

[Jaxx]

http://www.twitch.tv/insomniacgames

Yeah, this looks great. Traversal is nice and fast and fluid.

 

[theDeeDubs]

It's looking really good. Preorder tile is burning a hole in my games and app section, and I'm dying for some wall running and rail grinding traversal.

 

[funo]

I did see some people doing an air dash move on the other stream

apparently they are not allowed to unlock the air dash yet (MS NDAs)

 

[hawk2025]

lol, I'm basically gushing on the stream.


Calm down, breathe. It's only 5 more days.

 

[badams]

Finally a stream that shows some REAL traversal! I've been lately thinking of grabbing Lords of The Fallen instead of this, but nope, it looks awesome! Shame, that most of the reviewers probably won't put enough time to learn game mechanics properly.

Dead Rising, JSRF, Prince of Persia, Diablo, Destiny, Infamous, Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawk, Crackdown 2, Mario Kart, Prototype... I mean does this game even know what it wants to be?

With it's heavy focus on grinding I'm pretty sure this game is a Destiny rip-off.

 

[watership]

This stream is coming in a little lower res for me, but it's nice to see some of the more advanced movements and the city itself looks gorgeous.

 

[FeD.nL]

So many traversal moves, I can already see the insane combo videos that will appear. I want this game now!

 

[Ape]

looking back at the shacknews stream is now especially painful after watching pros like yoshii and jstevenson play.

 

[abadguy]

Yeah, just started watching the Insomniac stream and he's air dashing all over the place.

 

[JaggedSac]

http://www.twitch.tv/insomniacgames

Good shit. Cant wait to play it.

 

[Skilotonn]

I'm just getting in, so I see that I missed the co-op action. Hopefully he gets into matchmaking soon.

How the fuck is this boring?

videogamer pls.

We are live (in French for the moment) on our new HQ stream, playing with jstevenson

It is not a real game!!

It does have bullets I think.

Woah, that's a nice looking stream.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That air dash changes the game. I wish they would be showing it off more.

 

[Cavalier]

Can you guys stop torturing us and maybe release this game early? Please?

 

[hawk2025]

Air Dash changes everythiiiing!

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Look all those streams! This game looks pretty damn good!

 

[RoKKeR]

I've never been so indecisive about a game...

...most of the time it looks great, but other times I'm like "well with Halo out in 2 weeks is it worth it?"

Really looking forward to reviews.

 

[Jaxx]

LOL a weapon called The Shocker. This game is so incredibly immature, and I love it.

Anyone claiming this game moves too slowly is either blind or watching the wrong streams. Blim is moving around so damn fast.
