Looks to me like it was most heavily influenced by STALKER.

22:30 Only came across this video a good while after playing this game and wondered what the R in the recruitable "R" Cultist stood for and now I know, congratz man.

I love this game , I really hope it’s stays ..well, Forever ! ;)

Proof you dont need four hundred million and a team that takes an hour to credit...

Veteran tarkov player here. Man, every wipe, I bring the best gear I can afford from level 20 and on. Either i die to some scav randomly, or i die to some timmy with trash ammo. My luck in tarkov is fucked, i guess. But, every time i bring a not so shitty but decent kit, I'd kill at least 2 players per raid (if i don't get killed). So, I learned to play with semi meta gear, and my success rate is better than using meta gear.

This game looks lika cacophony of shit made by DEI cretins.

WADE!

I do enjoy your retro editing and anime/video game music vibes

Thanks for saying AKM and not "AK-47" So its basically fallout but darker and more anime This .... documentary, was cery interesting. Its also very interesting to see a small team put so much love and detail to mechs....just to not have the player interact with them and for it to be more for ambiance. That takes restraint. The moral, human touch and initial aim to bot be edgy is much appreciated in this edgy era. Glory to these artists and devs

So DBD?

Just picked up the game, it is BEAUTIFUL, there are so many moments which you will never find in any other game today, possibly in the future. Playing with friends increased this ten fold, seeing your buddy be pinned down by an exo while you helplessly sit in the background is horrifiying and beautiful. Truly amazing game.

Is it 28XX or 20XX?

hop on the forever winter bro

SCP SL meets EFT I'm all here for it

Well said.

Level zero already did this

i imagine they could make the gameloop around you being a mailman of sorts between refugy sones

I just want classic cod (no mmm) or a decent battlefield game which it seems like we are getting with Delta Force or “maybe” this new battlefield.

Whats fun dog?

This is dumb af. 😂

The hidden was the absolute pinnacle for me, never stayed up so late playing any other game

evolve stage 2 +hidden ive waited so long for something like this

spec ops: the line but you play as a civilian.

Thanks for this. I am still exploring the game and the lore really adds so much more depth to it.

If you think penetrating ammo was ever the meta you dont play tarkov enough. Flesh round KS was always the meta and hasnt changed, you can take down chads with nothing but fucking hopes and dreams

L for taking out crosshairs

Is it just me that thought that they were bouta get jumped by siren head 9:05 💀

Where can I get this?

Could this beat dead by daylight

Your argument makes sense. How uncharacteristic for online content. ;-)

Wanna hear wishful thinking? I hope it comes to PS5 with mouse and keyboard support

So like a 2024version of evolve..

So its post-Harris/Walz administration... thats all the info we needed.

when i saw the first gameplays and then played the game, i got beksinski vibes. i got proven right.

Really enjoyed your style of presentation, and the way you explain what they are going for. Thank you

I always imagine, in these type of fantasy, when all first world nations go to shit, south america is still the same and looking like nothing happen HAHAH

so, evolve but monsters are smaller and there's more people in one match?

HA I feel like 20:52 this point being utterly, utterly lost on every single early access player lmao It never even occurred to me they was going for this honestly. I think it's partly because of the way they keep spawning these trash mobs out of nowhere, and they're always seemingly hostile, so it quickly makes you forget these are innocent Chinese, Thai, Indian, Cambodia, Japanese civilians trying to get home to at least see their family again, or that this is some random poor sod from Belarus out here dying in what was once California like some rabid dog for no good reason at all. There is simply no sense of any of that at all in the EA footage I saw, sadly.

if this game works out i'd love to play it just to derp around as the monster. hopefully there will be more than just the type of "anomaly" that was shown in this.

I wish Evolve was popular, I thought it was so cool

DID YOU FUCKING COMPARE A GMOD GAMEMODE WITY L4D ?! IF YOU DON'T KNOW GAMES STFU, Y'ALL LIKE IGN WTF

If yall wanna play a game exactly like this just go play Level Zero

Guess I’m going in with a full cultist team.

Chapter 13 in Machiavelli's "The Prince" (easily findable online for free) talks about the use of mercenaries / soldiers for hire, and the TLDR is... don't use them. Their only allegiance is to money. You could have an army and what happens when your enemy just shows up with more money to pay your army to go away, or turn against you? Additionally, I think one thing that gets lost in games is that _real_ PMCs aren't all ex-special forces, with the best gear. Per the picture at 8:07, the men there have some fatigues, a beret, and an AK. But being able to have 100+ of them, knowing relatively what to do, when their "small army" has no prior experience, is a benefit. So while "private super special black ops forces" may exist... its more than likely if you look at those job postings, the vast majority are for security in some form, or training people (men and children) into the fundamentals of being a soldier, etc. with bare minimum equipment. As per the game, just like Day Z... people are just going to shoot each other at their first opportunity. Gamers don't have great morals lol

All in

SeaNanners mentioned!

The healthy mindset you're talking about is actively being suppressed in modern society. Walking away and not defending or attacking the *thing*, whatever it may be, isn't profitable for corporations. The entire political process in most of the world revolves around this attack/defense mindset and it's absolutely destroying any capacity for younger generations to abstain from it. X is making me live in an unhealthy mindset so I'll ignore it and move on, but then they move on to Y and treat it exactly the same. It's truly sad and I have no ideas to overcome it.

What game?

what's the film / tv footage at 12:24 ?

14:30 I understand why the game is in third person, but i think the impact of being a tiny scav in the middle of a war would be much better served by a first person view. The feeling that everything is bigger and more dangerous than you, the need to know if you are completely out of sight, the difficulty in knowing what is happening around you. I believe that, after dying several times just trying to kill everything in sight, the player will certainly understand that this is not how the game should be played. Immersion is key in a game like this, and i think the importance of the first person view is often underestimated. Finally, great video and great work by the Forever Winter devs. I can't wait to see when the game comes out.
