First-ever Dirty Bomb Gameplay Video Released!

[Dope]

Good luck SD!

It’s probably because the developers want to make their games more realistic and that, i think, is a basic thinking error. There is more fun in a unrealistic movement than a realistic one.

I’d suggest that it’s because that’s what casual gamers “think” they want because other popular shoots have told them so.

Therefore in order to appeal to the masses, which is arguably a very sound business strategy, then that’s what said developers are being forced to do.

I think the trick is to make it broadly how we (the smaller community) want it, with a slight slant towards softening the edges so casuals and younger gamers used to these other shooters are not alienated.

And then market it as being no different that what they’re used to, just more fun etc. however us insiders will know the truth.

In the gameplay vid, they literally say: “Engineers get C4 on it and destroy it.” (Around 1:40 minutes in the video)

I didn’t actually pay that much attention to the video, plus I only watched it with sound once

[NeoRussia]

Huh? I can hardly think of a FPS that has weapons that are realistic. ARMA is the only game I can think of and even then the sounds could be better.

F3/NV and Skyrim were both really terrible ports with money-grubbing typical Bethesda DLC, and games that were unplayable on more than half of PCs and it was only fixed by unofficial patches or GPU driver support. New Vegas actually took several months before it was playable by the majority of people that already owned it since release, and even then a mod patch to fix the game came out before the official one. The only PC-related support is done from nvidia and amd for drivers, and Bethesda’s mod-loading system which is just an interface to copy files over. It just so happens that’s possible because there is no protection on their files, same with other PC ports like Dark Souls where files are easily accessible and modable. The only protection on their games is a CD check because they don’t give a crap about how pirateable their games are on the PC, as they do not ever make specific changes for it even though something as big as their inventory system which is so bad it’s near-unusable on the PC never gets changed even though it’s been the same since Oblivion. They just leave it up to the community to fix their own sloppy job. And that doesn’t end there, we already knew how Bethesda basically destroyed some of the best developers such as id software for us PC gamers. Every single id software game released under Bethesda has been a complete mess because of marketing and support from the developer because suddenly as soon as Bethesda took over the connection between id and the community has been lost completely and now we have games like RAGE which are a complete joke and come with pre-planned DLC. RAGE ending was originally not going to be the official one, you would have to buy the DLC for the game in order to get the full ending, but as soon as Bethesda realized they weren’t getting sales they had id cut all plans of support for the game.

I hope you are right.

I had to rewatch the video as well, I wasn’t sure if they specifically said it or if I just assumed that the engineer had C4 ^^

Hey guys?? So Ironsights are available for usage like Brink? Seen the video but was curious that why not many ppl are using the ironsights…

[imrevned]

I think it looks very fun, I am dying to try it out

[Kinjal]

not bad for pre-alpha

[montheponies]

very encouraged by the intro post and the gameplay footage in general. still a bit uncertain about how the f2p model will work without putting some players at a disadvantage (unless it’s all cosmetic…).

Final quibble, I’d rather not see so much reliance on vehicle escort maps, personally they are my least favourite objective type.

We’re assuming that the devs made it so that iron sights are there, but the weapons are accurate enough that you don’t even have to use them at closish-medium range.

so nice :D. a dream came true. a new et after so many years of nerding it. btw is there a way to upgrade the pack(i would pay 30 euro for sure,maybe i want to upgrade it later to 60 or 120). im a poor schoolguy and need a hardware update for this game so i cant invest that much. also if i have done alredy a free beta enquiry can i upgrade it?.

[DarkKnightDK]

We’re assuming that the devs made it so that hip firing is there, but the weapons are accurate enough that you don’t even have to use them at closish-medium range.

Yeah cool…either way I am fine with it…Makes ADS not a necessity to use it when close encounters…

“Be sure to watch that now and let us know what you like, and want to see more of!”

As a longtime fan who played W:ET, ET:QW but skipped Brink (kids and work make my gaming pretty selcetive, and honestly it seemed too complicated), I’d just like to say that I am super stoked about the direction of Dirty Bomb. Team based, objective based FPS MP.

My son likes the Call of Duty type games, but honestly I find them so boring. Gun and run, gun and run, what is the point? No objective to destroy or defend?

You know what I like in your games? Big things. Like blowing up the huge wall in Oasis, or the Hammer killing half the map, or the slipgate in the middle of the map that transports you across half the globe. The excitement of a wide open plant (like on slipgate)
Damn, OK… I just re-downloaded W:ET and am about to hop on. And if that doesn’t start up, I’m off to play QW.

Big things, boys, big things.

[iWi]

Yep , ETQW = The Best FPS what I’ve played in last 10 years ! SD has made absolutely great “cocktail” at ETQW !!! ( team play , vehicules ,
combat focused on key capture, construct and destroy objectives,unlimited strategic options with deployable radar, fire support and defense turrets.)
We will see what SD’s cooking at Dirty Bomb. I find at video that there’s a fire support from a plane at 0:22 ;
destroy objectives at 0:58 ; antipersonnel land mine at 1:30 and some defense turret at 2:24 ; of course team classe like a medic , sniper , constructor etc etc .
Well- JUST DO IT , and do it well please to see us playing on line long long time.
Probably ( no large area -landscape, no large sort of vehicules , no large sort of turrets ) oki doki ,
SDK please !

Looks great so far.

What’s the graphic engine on DB ?

Thanks.

Gameplay looks solid. Screen shake seemed a little heavy around the explosions and though this is personal preference I am not a big fan of the blood square after you get shot. When I’m getting shot the last thing I need to have happen is my screen shake violently while turning 80% red. That sort of turns the game into a if I saw you first I win vs an actual shoot out happening. I would need to see how it feels in game though before really voicing an opinion.

[dehebo]

generic shooter +1

[jjpron]

Oh, yeah, you know what else was fun…
Volumetric Flamethrower.

(Posted this in the Create a class thread too.)

[Apocalypse]

Am I seeing trick planting? If it is, its a sure buy for me. But it looks like a hybrid of ET free dynamite planting and ETQW, fixed location planting.

The chick being the engr is a nice touch (my guess)!

Yes, hardcore ET engr player here.
