Gray Zone Warfare's Future...

[@MFG_Rick]

Thank you, Geekesh. I appreciate you honesty and support for our studio. Very chill video too :)

[@Royalasiangaming]

after a week couldn't be bothered to start it up fix ur game

[@HowieDawg]

@@Royalasiangamingchill, this dev team is one of the most transparent. Let them cook.

[@Stefan-vz4pm]

please dint just release content in larger updates, weapons attachments bug fixes should be I weekly or monthly additions. weather or night time sure save that. but you are going to kill this game with lack of content of you wait 6 months before each release. I love this game but there should be 20+ weapons in the game by now

[@MrJordie11]

@@Stefan-vz4pmthey could easily have fixed ai & added earplugs for choppers in between. There will be 400 people playing by the time this update hits, plus games like stalker 2 & tarkov will wipe. They need to be doing more.

[@maikelspekter7772]

You guys HAVE to fix the sound regarding incoming fire. There are snaps and pops, but they all seem to come from the same distance. ARMA 3 makes it clear when you're being shot it, and you can tell how close the rounds are and if they are coming from your left or right. It scares the shit out you when a sudden super sonic pop rings right hy your head, I literally flinch! With GZW, I can't tell if I'm being shot at or if the rounds are going in a completely different direction 50 yards away. It all sounds the same and the only indications are if I get hit or if something near to me gets hit and I can see the impact. Otherwise there's no way of telling what kind of danger I'm in or if it's even me they are shooting at.

[@AEGISDEFENSE]

My friends and I jumped into for the coop Joint Ops....loving it. Can see a great future for the title. Has some big issues though certainly. Ammo and weapon damage models, AI behavior and bullet sponginess, trade items and vendors, mission variety, itemization and lootables....but it hits an itch that I love.

[@iDeagles]

Long story short, it’s a good game with lots of potential that currently lacks content and refinement. With the influx of money received, it seems like they aren’t hiring nearly enough people to operate this vessel given the roadmap they presented. The updates seem nice but they just can’t pump them out fast enough--not even close, actually. I don’t want to see this game die in development like many others but it currently seems like it will. They have to speed up content. Even small content drops every month or so could help immensely. They seem to be under the impression that everything needs to be a big, massive release that grabs everyone’s attention with nothing in-between. Something as small as a weapon rebalance so that shotguns and handguns are viable shouldn’t have taken this long. People burn themselves out and leave because they only have one viable way to play with little to no variety.

[@Lornext]

And that content needs to be something other than endlessly shooting at the crap AI.

[@chadrattington]

The biggest thing holding me back from playing this game is the damn AI. They are bullet sponges with unbelievable aim at the most unpredictable times.

[@st0n333d]

This is how nvgs look irl I have dual tubes.

[@NoShow001]

This game had a lot of potential, still does. But its concerning how slow the devs were releasing updates... the game came out in April and there hasnt been any content added and its mid september, obviously your game is going to lose all of its playerbase. The fact that they couldn't fix absolutely major issues like laser AI hip firing you first shot from 300m away, which made them worse than Tarkov rogue AI, made the game unfun. ANd they couldn't adress this whatsoever since April>?

[@ObeyCityFPS]

the game looks craaaaaazy good, that unlreal engine 5 is just so good, i can’t believe how realistic it looks, i can literally see the fiber pattern on clothes, its wild

[@TheBlueCrunchmaican]

It’s early access which is my biggest gripe with games these days, you have to PAY for the pre alpha. It’s frustrating to pay for a product and even thought it says early access you would expect if they’re allowing people to play that it has some solidity to it, it’s rough if you’re going solo, and most often randomly you get some npcs that we’re hiding somewhere close to you as you engage enemies far away, deciding they finally noticed you shooting their buddies and walk right up in front of you to merc your shit. I’ve had them randomly pop off a couple shots at me and I’ve had them randomly unload full auto. I see the thing they’re going for, and it isn’t as much predictability that’s a problem rather the fact that they make janky movements/decisions and that whenever they do unload at you a couple shots if that is all it takes to go down into a coma, and unless you get them right in the head, they’re going to take many bullets to go down. Your plate carrier isn’t taking this 556 right to the chest from 2 feet away.

[@caesurabreak3528]

I equate this game to no mans sky. I couldnt sink time into that game when it first came out either, and now i have over 400 hours in it. It was a frame on a foundation, and had no actual content. Greyzone feels similar right now. Super solid foundation, they just gotta fill it in.

[@shr4n]

There is nothing in this game that other games, like SCUM, Arma Reforger, and Tarkov, don’t have and do better. They need to step it up.

[@geekseh]

While I agree to an extent. I think they just need to flesh out so much so it does differentiate itself from these games.

[@R1amuse]

For an Alpha its really good. Its a challenging game and can only get better . They just need to sort , performance, Ai and content . Good things take time .

[@johnwicks4936]

I can’t wait to consider buying it in 2027. I wonder how many DLC’s they’ll put out until then?

[@JPro1258]

I enjoyed the 180+ hours I put into the game. Didn't have a big issue with aimbot AI too often. I noticed it more in specific parts of the map more than anything. I didn't explore just went to finish tasks, so I agree with the world needing more for players to do. Ready or not, had about a year or 2 in their timeline i didn't play it due to them focusing only on multiplayer at the time. I'd still probably be playing if I had a reliable connection to a server right now, but I don't, so whether i want to wait a year or not, it looks like Im going to have too.

[@crossedfuneral]

I really really like the game, I played it for many hours recently but we now wait for the night ops update to grind into it again

[@PeterPetermann]

I’m still playing,but I think the wipe is when they will lose me. I don’t like the idea of having my progress reset and even less so being forced to use starter gear again ,because I won’t have the traders I grinded for month to get.

[@Wakeupfighter]

Love the game with the bugs. I know the team will get it right. I’ve waiting so long for the game to drop. I’m sticking this one out!

[@JimmyCyouTubes]

I'm a former, longtime DMZ player, level 800. Mostly PvE, about a 1:1 extract:die ratio. Probably 50% solo, 50% with regular teammates. Thought the range of bots abilities in DMZ was about right for those of us who aren't in the sweaty fast-twitch crowd. Tried GZW co-op solo about a dozen times, died without ever seeing the AI about 90% of the time, gave up at that point honestly, not fun. Will definitely try it again if they tone down the AI ability.

[@sambone305]

Performance too bad for me to get into it again just letting it simmer

[@Jojoboogie]

The current issue right now is team killing. There are players that come on the game to team kill and disrupt the development of this game. I believe they are paid by other game developers of the same genre to do this.

[@geekseh]

I think you are looking into this way to deep you underestimate the shittyness of normal people playing videos games. It's not that another developer is paying these people. It's that people found they can grief other people and it makes them happy to know other people are upset now just like themselves.

[@abisaijorgevegaperez5289]

Another thing would be to remove the key system to open doors. You are telling me these men cant shoot a wooden door or a lock or plant a grenade or c4 into a door an open it? Its just dumb

[@TommyTheBraveDummy]

The game looks great thanks to UnrealEngine, but the AIs are inconsistent. Firstly they can suddenly reappear in front of you or behind you : "Magic" respawn is not possible in a serious game. Second, the AIs, particularly in Tiger Bay, are able to spot you even when they can't see you. When these points are resolved, I'll get back to the game!

[@christopherhope2477]

I think we should give a chance to make a great game. I play it a lot solo. I think it needs work but I enjoy it. At the end of the day. It what matters.

[@niclast7600]

They will be back when the next patch is released. Leave when they are bored and come back again when they release another patch. If they cant keep players engaged and stay this will be the pattern. I still play, but I do miss some Tarkov features, better loot, reason to not just go for quests, events and a lot of this is coming in the next patch. And I really think they need to dedicate some time to PVP players, I know its not something they want, but its needed sadly for them. There is PVE and PVP servers so if you dont want PVP just go PVE

[@itsbiggs2540]

I think you hit the nail on the head with holding off a year, obviously the difficulty of developing games is not lost on you, spring 2026 being the crafting type update is where I got interested too, but will we still be talking about this game in 1.5 years. I worry they got caught up in the whole Tarkov AB:I thing and pushed this out far too early. As you noted they hit it hard and then has fallen off, all the reasons I see is because we don't have a true gameplay loop to keep people interested.

[@geekseh]

You hit the nail on the head 100% my man

[@adriangabriel50]

Fall 2027 its a long way away, think how many more early access shooters going to come out by then.

[@xINTENSORx]

If they follow that roadmap and it doesn't catch on by December 2024, they will 100% be announcing layoffs by the end of 2025. They need to use all the money they've made to hire more people to develop this faster.

[@eduardopekurned1505]

it would be kool if suppression with small handguns with AI. instead of the ambush... It's my favorite game I play very little

[@polecat1337]

single tube nvgs wont be the only ones from what i heard

[@geekseh]

nope youre right. In the video you can see other ones.

[@fartb3nd3r75]

can't wait for it☺🤘

[@OGBRADASS]

How about they make the game better, before adding in weather and making it worse... doesn't make sense.

[@BlindxSide]

What you just said makes absolutely no sense.

[@OGBRADASS]

@@BlindxSide There are 100 problems, but instead of fixing those problems they are worried about weather. Does it make sense now?

[@NatePorzio]

Comment for the algorithm baby

[@backstabbath6837]

Lack of economy..lack of pvp objectives...why kog in

[@abisaijorgevegaperez5289]

I will play this game as long as they dont do the absolute BS of tarkov where you play by time and have to enter a leave a map by a specific time. It absolute ruins the immersion of the game to have to play constantly aware of timing before you lose everything. Thats why I will NEVER pay for tarkov

[@johndory649]

Can’t wait to play this game, but wtf how has the industry allowed this to happen where they charge a fair chunk of money for a game that’s still five f***ing years away. That is a bollocks business model that consumers need to stop Playing into!! Remember when you used to buy a game on disk and play it without internet! Devs should at least be within a year of final release before they charge. Look at road to Vostok, it’s a demo that is free because it’s not a finished article!!

[@johndory649]

For the record I won’t be giving them money until 2027 at least

[@africanricc3458]

They needed the funding to move forward

[@johndory649]

@@africanricc3458 that’s what they used to call finding investors….. who would then get their money back and interest.

[@MikeSoutham]

yeah it looks good... but what's the point of it looking so good when it runs like complete crap on 95% of computers out there... That right there is why the players base died within a month. Will they come back? I hope so.

It took half a year for them to add night mode... Yeah, Im worried about the game. The gameplay loop is so boring, shooting endless shitty Tarkov AI grows old FAST! What the hell do you even do with the "high value loot" though? The economy is absolute crap with infinite resources already!

[@adriangabriel50]

For you maybe. I lost a lot of gear in pvp servers. Most of it due to lz campers.

AI is the number one issue with the game!

[@SonsOfDeForest]

skill issue. i only die to them if i make a mistake. you have to play slow and peek hard cover. just like irl

[@rmartuszewski]

@@SonsOfDeForest BS, bro I will be 100m away, crouched moving slow behind cover, and they will just start shooting at you without line of sight. The AI is broken. Plus snap shooting you at 300 meters, with an AK without any optics, first found head shot. Its BS AI. What you’re saying is play like a sniper, and that’s a work around to broken AI

[@Highwayman-n6k]

The developers need to far cry the hell out of this game,what do I mean, bring aggressive wild life into the game,tigers,water buffalos,Crocs etc,maybe some badass takedowns too?

No.
