Reddogtv Interviews Ed on Extraction!

(Bitey) #1

So after hearing some intelligence coming from my various game community connections, a shoutcaster by the name of Reddog from Natural Selection 2 managed to sneak a 7 minute interview with Ed from splash damage. I was also thrilled to see how nice that booth looked on a walk-by that happens earlier in the video. The booth walk-by takes place around 12:29 in the video, here is a direct link that skips straight to the interview.

Also just curious as to, who exactly is Ed by nickname. I’m still not familiar with all the SD developer first names :slight_smile:

the interview looks nice…

Hmm, he’s announcing an open beta. Which means that’ll open up after PAX I guess?
Isn’t that a bit to soon?

(Volcano) #6

stupidly soon if that is correct its in no state for outsiders to try

(n4ts) #7

Yeah, that’s what I thought…

open beta will be long after closed beta, we’re still in alpha, change your shorts and get back to speculating

On the screen it says. Play the demo to get closed beta access. They said closed beta will be somewhere 2013 q3 or q4. I don’t remember.

Could not stand to watch since it was a strain to hear them.

Pretty sure the founder page says 1mo guaranteed access to closed beta before open beta.

Ha! Finally an interview with Ed! :stroggbanana:

No story revelations tho yet :rolleyes:

Anyways, Ed is brilliant as always. Noone can explain the game as he does. Always fun to watch <3

Hmm, the T-Rat looks seem to suit him very well, also he seems to have lost some weight lately :slight_smile:

The only thing I was startled is as he said:

  1. “We will bring out a new character every month”. Is it really so, how can it be already planned now?

Regarding Thompson and MP40 being same. Yeah, everyone was confused at some point, because in RTCW they are not same, e.g. afaik MP40 had lower RoF but higher dmg/bullet and better accuracy.

BTW is the man at 37:14 a reel Arty? :slight_smile:

double post, wtf forum lags

I don’t like how Echo is presented, as a miracle solution which can replace all arguments of players.
Especially when I see that echo data can be interpreted in different ways (http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/37438-Questions-about-aim-tracking?p=466488&viewfull=1#post466488) and Echo will never can measure on thing: The Fun.

Just to be clear our current, tentative plan is for closed beta to start early Q4 this year, with open beta starting in early 2014 and running for…as long as is needed :slight_smile:

As with anything this early in a project that is all subject to change, I just want to kill any more crazy speculation if I can though.

Really liked these interviews from Devs
But I would like to see a SD Dev interviewing Players for their first reactions after playing the Demo at PAX …and if its good :wink: add it to promote Xt :slight_smile:

Why do they describe it as MASSIV multiplayer?
