Teaser Trailer Discussion

(0xT1) #81

I seem to have missed something, where does it say it’s f2p and UE?

(Aristotle) #82

I would still put my money on ET being one of the most popular of the F2P FPS, far beyond that of TF2. 10 years later and still has an incredible amount of loyal supporters that play on a daily basis.

Uh, did you really just say that ET was just like Battlefield?

[QUOTE=Mithrot;410806]I would appreciate it if you offered a source where you know that this upcoming game will feature Dedicated servers. Even then, there is a good chance they wouldn’t be player-hosted, which would hurt any chance of there being a competitive scene for clans to practice on or having pub games where admins can monitor matches.

If you say the game will rock regardless of modtools, we’ll have to see first, but outright ignoring them is a mistake. Have you never played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory beyond vanilla? There were custom maps like Base Race brought in fresh ideas that even today’s shooters lack, they even made up a large part of the community such as Jaymod/ETPro.[/QUOTE]

He is probably going by past experience given SD’s other titles. I would be perfectly happy with that, I would rather play on a server that isn’t hosted off some random persons **** computer/connection and instead is hosted through a third party company, like QW and ETQW have done. The only that I think you would have to worry about the neglect of competition and custom content is if they run RANKED servers like they did with Quake Wars, which I hope they learned from QW and decide to bypass the whole ranked/unranked situation all together.

The UE logo appears at the end, not to mention that SD have mentioned in the past that they’ll be using it.

With that said, you do bring up a good point regarding F2P, and it’s one that I’ve seen a couple of journos mention today. Although SD have been making a lot of noise about F2P and have said that future titles will use it, there has been no mention here. It’ll be interesting so see what they have to say about monetisation at some stage in the future.

RTCW > ET > Brink > ETQW

There you see what I did, introduced the fact that they arent unique. All three are derivatives of the RTCW, and none compare favourably to it.

:slight_smile:

(shibbyuk) #85

It’s inferred from the fact that WarChest publish F2P games:

[I]"We’re a brand-new publisher of downloadable games with production values you might expect from games you would normally buy in shops. By bringing our titles directly to you, we’re saving a whole bunch of money that we’re investing into our games instead.

Better yet, they’re free to download and play!"[/I]

Not sure if you’re listing in order by your preference, or chronological, but if chronological, QW should go before Brink :slight_smile:

(j4y_) #87

:d psyched 4 this!!!

(Evil-Doer) #88

Absolutely excited for this! More details the; the sooner the better!!

(Sebultura) #89

I’m I the only one being not really that much surprised or anything ?
This teaser didn’t honestly made my hearts goes boom, anyway it’s far too early to get a real opinion :frowning:

Too bad for idTech, Brink was real cool to me…

(MadStyle) #90

It has that similar Brink art style going I saw, nice. :slight_smile: Just hope the tools are in place for the competitive scene like Demo, spectate,etc.

(phoen1x) #91

Sebultura why as customer u would care about engine being used? Idtech4 wasn’t the best engine anyways. And BRINK while looked cool died almost instantly and ET/ET:QW still being played after all these years.

(kevinski) #92

I like the class functions in Brink. I’d suggest that they keep those the same, but get rid of S.M.A.R.T. and that stupid mission wheel or whatever it was called. It’d also be nice if they’d use a different engine from what they used in Brink. They need to ensure that the game physics are running at higher frame rates, rather than just being capped at 30 fps, because it just feels weird having the physics capped at a lower frame rate than what the graphics are rendering at.

I’m glad that this is gonna be F2P, because that’s about the only way I’d try it after the train wreck that was Brink.

(phoen1x) #93

S.M.A.R.T. wasn’t that bad compared to magic F key, syringe, buffs and autolocking on target… kevinski u could always remove the cap but Wii Xbox Live in your signature tells me a lot about u. This game is MADE FOR PC.

(Kinjal) #94

Some things I’v noticed –

  1. There is a class with a giant bag on his back and a light machine gun – heavy bodytype (I wonder how the hitbox model for this guy work)
  2. Smallest Bodytype is a sniper (Girl sniper hitboxes? Small? We see only a male sniper)
  3. One of the factions in game is CDA “Lies get you nowhere” - printed on the wall, its a police faction
  4. Female engineer with 2 mines on hips and a shotgun and…2 combat axes near her ass
  5. The final explosion was made by tank or …camo IAV (escort mission)
  6. The guy at the begining of the video is probably a field ops with ammo packs
  7. There is a 2 dead masked male soldiers, u can see them just after girl eng (medics?)
  8. there is a strange emblem printed on walls and IAV , looks like reverse mitsubishi emblem (must be an emblem of a anti-rebel faction - CDA)

Let’s not start the whole console versus pc flame wars again…

Also, just because he has his xbox live username in his signature doesn’t mean he doesn’t play from a PC as well. I personally play PS3 and PC myself, some games you just can’t get on the PC.

(Doombreed) #96

I dig it. It has a strong Brink look to it, but I’m hoping to see some innovation on the gameplay mechanics!

(Sebultura) #97

For two simple reasons:

  1. I’m an assumed idSoftware fanboy
  2. Apart being a gamer, I’m also a developer and so so I can’t play a game without tech coming to mind

Anyway, I like Epic engines too, it’s just that there’s no more studios now working on idTech apart id, and it’s sad for old-school loving techy whores like me :frowning:

(xarQi) #98

alle i want is dedicated servers & competitive play also think on leagues etc…

(MassCreed) #99

I’m very attracted to this because of the “Made for PC” thing

(Exedore) #100

If we ever meet, I promise to buy you a cookie.
