[@AlexValorant]

@@zanduzuf8393 yes

[@xLinksDreheRx]

How? cause this gameplay looked insanely noobish

[@T8-TR]

Long TTK isn't a bad thing, tbh. Makes it so that you can't step outside and immediately be lasered like in Warzone or PUBG, which means less incentive to camp.

[@SD-ni9jh]

Yes exactly

[@prozachseven]

Yeah, and it means you get more of a chance to learn from your mistakes in game, rather than getting one tapped and having to wait potentially 15 minutes to try again.

[@EndOfExistence1337]

Long TTK is actually awesome in BR games, it is the top reason I enjoy apex more than pubg or warzone. Nothing is more frustrating than looting for 5 minutes only to get killed before being able to react by a guy camping somewhere.

[@sacr4450]

It can become bad. You may never be able to win a 2v1 no matter how good you are.

[@hioxd]

Yeah I thought I hated it at first, but if you get used to weapon swapping it really feels like doom/quake/unreal/tribes. Atleast that the vibe I get, mixed with titanfall

[@TheSageofmusic]

Really good commentary. Just watching the game it felt like nothing had any real impact, and the sniper rifle issue is something that absolutely has to be addressed if they want to pick up any players from Apex or Warzone. One think I noticed that looks really cool is the lack of a minimap. Having to look at your surroundings to notice the degradation is a neat twist.

[@robighast3819]

Yeah but there is a map you can open.

[@karthiiraja17]

It has a press to view map only option.

[@mrlasanham4931]

A minimap you can see while you are running or fighing is the best thing you can have

[@mrlasanham4931]

And with a game that has this movement the game needs a minimap

[@DawnApon]

@@mrlasanham4931 I respectfully disagree. With the way the map, like an arena, seems over the top littered with inferiors and even pretty intense cover on some rooftops, it seems likely you're very well meant to stop in these places to look at the map, which introduces a nice dichonomy between - Wall scrmabling, Rooftop leaping movement - And Having to find a defendable building/arena if you need to check your map. A thing which we don't even see seagull do, so it's not so important that we need a minimap. And with how the buildings create these ant-hill like, vertical spaces, I don't know how actually beneficial it would be to look at at all times.

[@felipeneves7260]

I'm gonna be heartbroken if this game flops. You can see that someone REALLY wanted to revive the gunplay of arena shooters and present it to a new generation of sweaty tryhards. There is more passion in this than any other BR, and for that alone it has my respect.

Too bad that doesn't work. R6 is a UNIQUE game, offering a unique experience you cannot find much elsewhere, even CS:GO. HyperScape is not unique, and you can play any of the currently MASSIVELY POPULAR BR titles your friends already play. If this isn't working well, with good balance and well-made content drops, then maybe it might stand a chance. Right now it has to convince me to abandon my progress into Warzone to play this, and it honestly is not appealing at all. If I'm not going to play, I know two of my friends won't play. If they don't play, none of our groups will play this game because nobody will really want to play in a group. This happens to plenty, and why people stick to popular, widely available games like Fortnite, Apex and Warzone, that already has multiple seasons of content to work through.

And the way the districts collapse makes for some really interesting moments with how the buildings disintegrate.

It is not that busted tho. You get one shot and all the mobilty and hacks makes it hard to hit if you miss your first shot.

@@cpenner7086 The reason it was busted was because the map was terrible for loot dispersion and takes a lot of time to go from one loot to the next.

If i have to be honest, as a guy who has mixed feeling for BR games, this game feels more like a TDM mode than a br which is a good thing. I love the game as a average FPS player in Siege, Valorant and Overwatch. I think hitscan weapons makes the game easier but thats just my opinion.

I would love to see an arena fps game that is based on show, and that will gather a huge amount of spectators as it was for example the Hunger Games movie series, with everyone watching waiting to see if their favorite player wins. A map with traps and other mind boggling things that will force you to think besides having to have skill in shooting. To keep the spectators focused, they should be able to be caught in the game somehow, either with voting, for example vote what npc to hunt the players, or trap, or hazard to activate, or betting? I don't really know I'm just throwing ideas here, it would be cool to hear the simulated cheers of thousands of people when you clutch and to other crazy stuff.

The problem I have with this game is that it looks a bit generic in general. The animations, movements, guns, powers, etc all look and feel very boring. Not that it is bad, but style matters to a lot of people more than just graphics and the way it looks right now is kind of a turn off even though I like this gameplay.

[@vascap8264]

PixelLightShow Just because skill and gameplay is a focus of an arena shooter does not mean that stylization is pointless. Many shooters with similar gunplay work so well because they have that perfect balance of having skill behind what you do in game, and backing it up with appealing visuals that supplement what you are doing.

[@Sobepome]

@PixelLightShow why don't they just make an arena shooter without bothering with graphics then? just have players be floating hitboxes, it should be just as good yeah?

There is an audience for both sides. If a game hopes to be at all competitive, it should err on the side of worse graphics m, better optimized. Something like Valorant.

[@antiochorontes6374]

Agreed. It looks like they looked a lot at apex for some of hte game mechanics, but then just made everything ugly and look cheap without adding anything new. I doubt it will become more popular than apex let alone the other top BR's.

This game actually looks pretty fun. It's removed all of the bs filler that I hate about BRs (looting, running around a HUGE map for 15 minutes only to get sniped from a kilometer away, etc) and implemented some interesting mechanics that reduce the game time even more. That was my main problem with BRs: the games either take two minutes or upwards of an hour. Might try it once it releases

While it's definitely got potential, it's gonna need a metric _$#!+ton_ of polishing before it's ready to compete with the Big Three. Right now it absolutely _screams_ "indie game", not something from a AAA dev like Ubisoft. I'm interested to see where this game goes.

Absolutely love the huge urban Parisian styled map and as someone who played quake 3 arena and the 99' unreal tournament as a kid I can say that this could fill the arena shooter hole that's been empty for so long (I played quake champions but I had performance problems with it and the game felt weird for some reason).

[@sunsee1537]

I seems pretty cool. From what i see there is not a lot happening on screen at all times and the colors highlight each other. one of the main reasons I don't like watching apex is because I find it hard to see at times, not really pleasing to the eye. The gameplay gave me the old H1Z1 vibes where its fast enough to be casual and fun, while also not being the fast paced fortnite and apex where many things come on screen seemingly out of nowhere. As you said the sniper sounds really broken and rifles sound useless.

[@Thes4LT]

Beware: The game's servers are likely to be downgraded from 60 tick to 20. We already saw this happen to Modern Warfare 2019. During the beta, servers were all dedicated and 60 tick. On launch, there were only a mix of P2P hosted matches and 20 tick dedicated servers, in addition to 45 tick servers exclusive to ground war. The netcode will be nice in beta since few people will be playing it, but as numbers increase and servers are overloaded on launch, they will cancel the 60 tick servers and use the savings to buy a load of 20 or 10 tick servers to save costs. Oldest trick in the book: Launch a high quality product and gradually lower the quality to increase profit with minimal attrition. Most customers won't notice and the ones that do aren't the cash cows anyway.

[@Cos3527]

This my experience with gun play. My aim with the heavier guns (shotguns, sniper, explosives, deagle) has never been better on any other battle royal. I will say I have a problem with the heavy machine gun and the ripper but I haven't played for long so maybe I just need more adjustments with my sensitivity. The Abilities also felt very natural to me coming from many ability based games. The game to me looks amazing for FTP, maybe it's because I am not used to games that have such vibrant lighting (The character models are clearly ftp though). For me the ultra fast mobility is what I think sets this game apart which I love because it makes it very satisfying when running and juking the enemy. This for me is the most fun I have ever had in a battle royal and also the most for pretty much any game (Valorant is fun, but one of the reasons I stopped playing Overwatch is because people use abilities like babies with building blocks and that carried over to Valorant. People also will ONLY start rotating to the other site when their whole team died at the other point and their is 5 people on sight with bomb planted (Sorry for the rant)). For me this game is a 8/10, Only knocked down because though the abilities came natural, that is a sign that they are simple, which they are, but they showed that with that ball ability they aren't completely close minded so hopefully we will get more creativity when the full game comes out and further updates. Normally that would just be one point down, but the abilities are so simple its 2 points. Like cmon, Invis, checking through walls, a wall that blocks fire/LOS, a teleport, a heal, and a self shield. The only ones are unique/somewhat unique is the mine, the slam, and especially the ball. I feel like if the games other aspects are this simple, we could probably go to like 25-20 abilities before it gets to hard to track. If they focus on the abilities this game goes to a 10/10 for me, but if this game starts doing movement restricting abilities (I know slam technically restricts your movement with the knock back, but I have seen much worse than that, cough cough Doomfist cough cough Bridgette cough cough Hammond cough cough.), or even stuns, this goes straight to a 7, maybe even a 6. Btw, I do respect his opinions, just giving mine. It was a good commentary and you were fair to the game, unlike certain twitch chats that will call any game bad or a mobile game when its graphics aren't God of War levels of good.

[@Turtlezzzzzzzzzz]

Im definitely in the camp of "noobs getting stomped" lol I played for about 3 hours yesterday and my best game was top ten squads with 2 whole kills. It's a fun game with neat ideas, but like you said so much balancing needs to occur. The minigun, grenade launcher and sniper are just too strong and dominate games. The minigun is way too accurate at mid range where the one assault rifle is basically useless. The grenade launcher just consumes indoor battles with it's juggling/knock-up locking. And like you said, the one shot hit-scan sniper is plain filthy in the hands of good players. At least in other BRs if you get dinked by a sniper from half way across the zone, you know that was a damn good shot and or just plain luck. In this game it's just clicking on heads. Really hope they can balance things out

This game looks reallllyyyyyy GOOD! I hope they work everything OUT!!! Iv been wanting a game like this for so longggg!!! I love apex but this looks so damn good.

[@marcy1949]

2 types of people: I really like this art design, i like the sleekness this is so bleak and messy this sucks

[@LtJager]

I would love to see arena games like Unreal Tournament or Quake have a solid and strong come back, hopefully we are heading to that reality

[@arturolimonez7470]

This looks promising and cool but knowing ubisoft it will be plagued with micro-transactions :(

[@lethalpanda2843]

Doesn't every free to play game have microtransactions.

[@codlover93love24]

They said they are going to change about that

[@createprince2093]

the simplified inventory stuff sounds like a HUGE plus for me

[@su11en41]

Just looking at the game, it seems its trying to do too many things at once and has so many elements that just do not fit together.

[@Nnexialist]

Like guns and abilities? Look at valorant. High mobility and fast paced gameplay? Look at titan fall.

[@Doflaminguard]

@@Nnexialist id say r6 siege than valorant about guns and abilities.

[@dan_noo]

0:34 set in a futuristic video game world, kinda looks like Tron.... Ready Player One: oke (sad face)

[@RecoilMojo]

Looks like it'll be fun on release, dunno if it will last tho

[@zipper978]

Fast paced FPS will always be niche. You can’t be bad and have fun in fast paced FPS. But you can be bad and have fun in warzone or overwatch or league.

[@cyrar2150]

I feel like they can very easily fix the sniper by making it like a Kraber. For those who don't know, a Kraber is from the Apex/Titanfall universe with a "slow" projectile for a sniper. Don't get me wrong, it's fast, but comparing to other's it just feels sluggish. But anyway, a Kraber has got some serious drop and speed, which makes it a perfectly "balanced" weapon because: high skill, high reward. This raises the skill ceiling for the gun and makes the game overall better since you don't need to worry about someone hit-scanning you from across the map.

[@Dr_Gerbz]

That Ubisoft was going to make a battle royale was obvious, every major developer (EA, Activision, Epic) wants a piece of that pie. I was hoping for an Assassin's Creed BR though; the multiplayer's concept in Brotherhood up until Black Flag was pretty decent but got ruined by people playing it as if it was Call of Duty: running around the map, totally ignoring stealth, forcing stealthers to do the same otherwise they couldn't keep up score-wise. I think this concept would work really well in a BR setting, as staying alive the longest can win you the match, encouraging stealth. Of course, there would also have to be some mechanic that ensures you also have to go on the offensive, otherwise everyone would just hide all day. For example, to be able to use your stealth skills, you need to make kills. ...Instead, they went for the totally safe route and just made another FPS. Urgh.

[@FatalFist]

Kind of interesting watching the world digitize and delete but then this just makes me wish we got a full-fledged Tron game. I too don't think this will really go anywhere.

[@strange4107]

I don't think meshing arena fps concepts with a br is actually that bad. In many cases a lot of BR concepts are kinda-sorta like things seen in an afps. So I think its cool. Btw where can I get the game:?

[@BurnttBurrito]

For me this game peaked my interest and i loved it straight away because normal br games seemed to slow for me but this game is super fast which i like. sniper needs to be blown out of existence tho

[@trucke9194]

Being an average player that isn't the best at FPS I find this game really fun even though I don't win as the constant fighting still allows me to have very intense battles which makes every be filled with constant action and no real looting downtime.

[@carbon3d]

What do you mean, the weapons feel like they have no real "weight" on them? Sound? Sound is supreme in it... if you stop moving for a second you can hear footsteps where ever a player is and pinpoint... Weapon fire is determinable weather you're moving or not. Competition with those other games you mentioned is an issue with me personally. This is a very different playstyle compared to FN, WZ, and PUBG... You could say it's Niche... but it's not exactly competitive. Every sniper should 1 shot HS. In any game. The weapon shouldn't be changed, but think about it as a buff on the Head Hit box. Which would entail buffing dmg on other guns to a head hit box, or making the buff to the head hitbox only for the Protocol V. I guess you could call it a nerf on the Protocol V. It still at MAX should reward skill on a HS as a one shot. Otherwise you might as well just use Teleport/Slam and chase people to blam them down with any other weapon. The sniper will be less used then if you nerf it as you suggested. Might as well remove it from the game and replace it with a DMR.

[@zer0g35]

My favorite load out is heal, skybreaker and ripper to make the soldier 76 set up, slot of the abilities in this are similar to abilities in overwatch lol

[@derpytw]

i do enjoy the fact that there is basically no fiddling around with attachments, or anything. its just streamlined the BR mechanics out of the game basically. which is sick

[@Wylie288]

ADS is still unfortunetly requried though

[@ithalathegayguy]

The ghost mechanic is really neat. Like, you can still be an active part of your team even while you're dead. They would have been pretty fucked if they didn't have you pinging the sniper and narrating where the sniper was going to help them avoid her. Definitely not a game I will ever play personally (horrible at battle royale, not much better at shooters) but I look forward to seeing gameplay from various youtubers

[@plasmaglowmusic1655]

hey devs :) please work on the weight of the weapons, so that they feel more real when wielding them. also, please allow players to choose their reticle height. (you will thank me later) one last thing, add a jump-back ability that you can collect, something that adds some diversity to gunfights :)

[@rusozawr4969]

I can't stop comparing FPS games to Overwatch lately, and as a result, every other gameplay disappoints me xD but I particularly enjoyed your pod flying in the sky, watching it from various angles, quality work.

[@klaus1352]

Never been a huge BR fan because of the rng involved but this looks like it fixes that a bit. I don't think this is going to be very popular but I hope it finds some sort of foothold because I love fast paced shooters

[@jonathanhamstra3319]

Honestly the best time I've had in a BR in a long while. I'm a arena shooter guy, quake/UT/halo are my jam, but they have had so little popularity in recent years. I don't enjoy BR's as a genre because they tend to have long stretches of nothing followed by quick, long range fights and then it's over. While it is competetive, I never enjoyed that rollercoaster of game flow. Apex almost did it for me, since I really loved the titanfall series, but in the end I just couldn't stand only getting 1 fight every 3-5 minutes. Also it felt like I couldn't do anything on my own, I needed a competent team to even have a passable time. At least in my first 6 hours, hyperscape has been so fun due to how much it plays like a arena fps. Fights are constant, drawn out, built around movement and tracking. You don't ever go more than 3 minutes without a fight. The map is fun to traverse, never a dull open field. Being aggressive is actually rewarded, and taking damage isn't a major setback, just a 15 second regroup. You can absolutely outplay and come out on top, which is so refreshing off of many games which put deciding factors on something beside skill.

[@will-ld9fj]

You say the guns don't have 'weight' but I think that is kind of by design, this isn't Warzone where you have US Marines and Soviets running around with ak-47's and M4's, it's a digital simulation world where everyone is super charged and super human, the sniper isn't a 50.Cal it's basically a digital laser beam, it would be weird if guns had a heavy recoil feeling. I don't really know what you mean by the guns "don't have weight". The game is very much 'weightless' but that kind of makes sense - Nothing is real, it's all a simulation cities literally disintegrate before your eyes, your character floats around like bruce lee on cocaine.

[@plasmaglowmusic1655]

I don't know if the game is in any state to add weapons, but I would like to see a chain-saw-sword or something like that. (it's a weapon that came to mind when I first saw the artstyle of this game)

[@0whatman]

I agree the sniper being both hitscan and oneshot is too much they should have like one heavy sniper that oneshots and is projectile one quick sniper that doesnt do a lot of damage but has super fast projectiles and one hitscan sniper that does moderate damage and has a moderate recharge time or something of the sort the problem is that cause of the way that upgrading works the weapons must be fairly limited in number but overall I quite like the game so far

[@jackychen8338]

damn, seagull is good at narrating... I'm speechless how narration and gameplay were seamlessly connected.

[@michaelg1778]

It looks super interesting with the arena style. Seagull touched on a few issues/worries I typically have with these types of games and he makes it sound like they could be major problems if not addressed. But let's hope they do some work before release and make it great.

[@gartinmarrix4841]

Nerf the sniper damage or give it a huge tracer bullet path like the machina?

[@Freezera86]

I like the arena FPS feel, it brings me back to UT99

[@andrekorenak2417]

the Aesthetics are great. Leaving everything else alone I love the "zone" mechanic's visual.

[@TryTane]

Third game, it was with my friends (they are good quake players, like ~1.5k hours in quake) and we made in total 53 kills...

[@the03k]

Congrats on your second YT video Mr. Birdman

[@thethanor]

So serious question, how is a hit scan sniper different than a Kraber from Apex? Does it not have any bullet drop or something?

[@coolnormalandwelladjusted]

A kraber has travel time and bullet drop. A hitscan weapon has no travel time at all and no bullet drop. For reference: The Charge Rifle and the select-fire mode Havoc are both hitscan. Hitscan weapons are just point and shoot with no requirement to predict enemy movement/adjust for distance so theyre very easily op compared to other weapons.

[@skullkrusher4418]

They need to add more button layout options and look control options. Not being able to have a linear response curve and play on Tactical made it unplayable for me.

[@pagmanproductions1686]

can you bhop in this game? can you do quake stuff?

[@damnvier3897]

nice overview, thanks mr. influencer for giving me that interest for a game

[@scienti0]

This is the ONLY BR I have looked at and wanted to play due to aesthetics, game play, and overall style. I hope it does well.

[@azure98]

I personally think the general theme and art direction of this game is pretty dope.

[@Wolvesaywe63]

Will it be on console and what sort of price if it will be

[@Sludgelorrd]

I do feel like the ttk should be lowered slightly, it makes the weapons feel more like lazertag toys then powerful advanced cyber weapons.

[@mariohernandez231]

The TTK looks different from when I was watching jackfrags play it I don't if it's because he was missing alot of shots or if they changed it. But the game looks fun especially the restore you're teammate's system

[@mr.penguin4614]

i really like the look of it. hope they address some of the gunplay issues bc it looks like fun and ubisoft is great at supporting their games

[@calebrobbins6406]

This was some pretty good criticism. I like how you roll, my man! I'm sure veryone is saying this and I'll say it too: the sniper was OP. It's just the Apex Skullsplitting Wingman but....better? Or worse? Depends on who you are XD
