PAX Sneak Peek!

(Kiris) #21

Very well done. Good introduction to the game. I also liked how you split the map.
Oh, and removed the hacking of the mechanical switch lol

I could name literally hundreds of minute little changes that have been made, many of which were asked for, some which were expected to come at some point and a few nice surprises, great job!

Any thoughts on making this “demo” playable for fans that aren’t able to make it all the way to PAX?

Also don’t forget to take some photos of the booth for us.

Cool trailer! :cool:

First time we hear the mercs speaking, keep it coming!

(Ashog) #24

Oh and good luck!!

Going to push this map to closed alpha servers as soon as possible once we’ve finished merging it back into trunk and verified its stable. More on this soon.

Really good trailer, well done! :smiley:

Good luck on PAX, conquer them all - and extract them! :oppressor:

[QUOTE=Jonny_Hex;466336]Shifty and Rookie1, do you have some kind of avatar pact going on? For some reason I imagine that’s how you both look IRL.

/end derail

Nice vid…props to J, Fabrice and everyone else involved.[/QUOTE]
Its my neutral look :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley:

(Mustang) #28

Sorry, I explained myself poorly, I was referring to the players that aren’t in alpha.

(montheponies) #29

looks excellent, well done :smiley:

The airstrike brought a smile to my face :slight_smile:

only mild whinge is that we’re playing a build or two behind what punters will be playing at PAX… :confused:

(Jonny_Hex) #30

Ah, I see. No plans to release a public demo, no. Not AFAIK.

See my previous post. Need to get latest changes back out to you guys ASAP. Duly noted.

Good job lads. I’m going to give my views on how this video made me feel. Going to give it from the perspective of somebody who hasn’t played the game and also as somebody who has played the game.

New to the game:
So this video basically made my stomach flip with excitement. If I was heading to PAX this weekend, I’d be racing to the queue for Extraction and then rejoining when my shot was over. I’m really ****ing impressed.

Played the game:
I just want to say thank you for a few of things; 1. Promoting SW as the gamemode at PAX, 2. Having only 2 objectives and using Camden, 3. The choice of mercs is really good (Skyhammer would’ve been better than Arty since I love him with all my heart). On top of this, I just want to say that my whole opinion of this classless objectives thing has been flipped on its head. Why? The video sold Proxy as being somebody with a faster hacking ability - “Able to hack or disarm faster than anyone else on the team.” This makes the fact that anybody can hack or disarm sound okay in my book.

I have a smile on my face :slight_smile:

(spookify) #33

Looks amazing and makes me want to play!

Having actual played the Time to Kill looks and feels much slow when I play. If I see someone, boom dead or I am boom dead before I can think or move.

Balance

Looks awesome and SW is by far the best. I might need to rewatch did anyone see a spawn timer?

Edit: I did not see a spawn timer. SW really isnt SW without it…

Glad you guys are liking it, and to repeat what already been said, if any of you are at PAX this weekend seek us out and we’ll get you in quick.

(Attackmack) #35

Are we allowed to repost the youtubelink on other forums?

(badman) #36

Not at this time, sorry. Might not stay that way for long though. :slight_smile:

  1. The choice of mercs is really good (Skyhammer would’ve been better than Arty since I love him with all my heart).[/QUOTE]

Arty Was chosen because he had received a polish pass and new skins (used in the demo are trinity for friends and decon for foes), note that his abilities and gun are of Skyhammer :slight_smile: So it is purely a cosmetic swap, for the purpose of showing polished assets in the demo. Skyhammer is getting his airstrike back :slight_smile:

On top of this, I just want to say that my whole opinion of this classless objectives thing has been flipped on its head. Why? The video sold Proxy as being somebody with a faster hacking ability - “Able to hack or disarm faster than anyone else on the team.” This makes the fact that anybody can hack or disarm sound okay in my book.

This is something that we also emphasized visually by creating 3 completely different repair tools showing clearly which one is faster than the others, instead of the prototype colored pliers you guys can see in the current alpha build (risks of being in an alpha :)).

Are we allowed to eat the youtube video with a nice Chianti? sssssss

looks very good, love the voices!

(Attackmack) #39

Alrite =)
Let us know, I think this might get peoples attention! Eager to post this at one of swedens biggest gamingrelated newssites!

(Seiniyta) #40

I was really concerned how SD was going to give the character personality. I guess I totally forgot about the voices. Looks great and can’t wait to play it once it’s on the alpha build :slight_smile:
