This game is based upon the 2005 Stephen Spielberg movie The War of the Worlds, Starring Tom Cruise. This film is based upon the Novel by H.G Wells and I have to say this is probably the best we're ever going to get in terms of a game adaption of the film. Today we take a look at the early gameplay footage.

He's released a couple shorts showing off some improved details.

[@frozone-yeah]

There is not a single video from Raf's channel that has disappointed me. I binge-watched all the early ones about a year and a half two years ago and have been keeping up to date ever since. Not once was I let down. Every single video made me shake with excitement and gave me goosebumps as there is so much, I love about this game including the few things that I love most which are having massive monstrosities that completely overtake the player, having trains, and now having tornadoes, as if this game wasn't cool and frightening enough. 😅😁

[@RAGEMONSTER]

It ain't a animation it's ragdoll Also the extreme dark moment is a fucking nado I fucking love it

[@omaidshams3978]

The difference between the rising animation is the amount of smoke and dust in the air. Before there wasn’t any, therefore you can see little animation misfire. Like before, one of the legs went through a tree. Now there’s dust you cant see any of the weird animations.

[@brianrigsby7900]

13:07 he added the smoke when it hissed

[@Uberkit]

Yeah I realised later on lol

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

the pods having internals exploding after getting destroyed, really reminds me of how Halo 3 did these explosions. I would've absolutely loved it if they experimented a bit with adding Bloom to the beams and explosions, not cringy lens flares, actual legitimately well done bloom.

At about 3:00 when you mentioned "harvesters", I've always had the opinion that the "harvester/warrior" kind of deal seems fine but I don't see why the "harvester tripods" couldn't also still have Heat Rays. For a bit of evidence to back my theory/opinion, immediately after the ferry scene in the Spielberg film, when we see a wide shot of the aftermath and Tripods chasing people down, there are a few Tripods using their tentacles to pick up and "harvest" people, but some of them can be seen using tentacles *and* Heat Rays _at the same time_ and I can't think of a reason a specific "warrior" Tripod would need to use their tentacles and pick people up, other than putting them in cages. Personally instead of thinking of them as specific "harvester" and "warrior" Tripods being different, I think they're simply using one basic jack-of-all-trades kind of Tripod but they're simply utilizing them in different ways, in different positions along the "frontline". Now don't ask me why some have cages and some don't, I don't have a concrete answer for that, but one idea could be that they're also buried underground in larger cylinders (akin to the book's cylinders) and they're picked up by the tentacles and equipped by pods further behind the frontline who don't really need to worry about immediately going into combat.

[@lostfiresanimations6541]

I thought all of this myself. I have watched the movie so many times I can spot errors in quite a few scenes effect wise now sadly. Have you spotted any?

[@Uberkit]

The only reason I say harvester in that bit is because in the movie that's what they're doing in the ferry scene, they're not attempting to zap people they're picking them up out the water whereas in the game he's just gone with the uberpod zapping people

[@UnhorsedGoose]

@@Uberkit Yeah I get it, just wanted to share that with you, see what you thought. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that we don't see NPCs in the water, maybe the way it's scripted right now since there aren't any people floating around, it has the Tripod target the nearest NPCs which I suppose were on the shoreline kind of out of tentacle range

[@galacticgamer8760]

I can already see this game being on steams featured list when it comes out, also I love the new Uberpod horn 2:38 the V3 horn wasn't bad, but it just didn't really fit the haunting nature that the Uber usually gives out, this new one kind of has a mix of both the V3 and the V1 horn and I hope Raf stays with it because this is possibly the best iteration. I don't know when we're going to get a public release for the game, but they should take as much time as needed the longer it takes the better it is.

[@Uberkit]

Yeah the current version is enough to give you goosebumps

[@frozone-yeah]

I love the new Uberpod horn as well here. V4 we will call it. With the Uberpod I would think that it would be much harder to strike that balance of good sound because you do not really hear a unique Uberpod horn in the film as a reference so you kind of have to go from scratch with the only frame of reference being how organic and haunting the normal tripod horns are. With something that's much bigger, it has to have the sound to match, and this just about perfectly represents something that is not only organic sounding as there were Uber horns in the past that sounded a bit too metallic. And so, this is definitely the best way to have an intimidating sound to match a more intimidating figure. My least favorite versions of the horn were actually version 2 from Raf's videos if we are thinking of the same thing. V1 was at least somewhat haunting and V3 at the very least could spook the heck out of someone when least expected. 😂V2 though, was that one to me that sounded too metallic and least intimidating. It was cool at the time when first hearing because it was new, but with how much better the quality of the horns are now, it just would not fit at all. V3 wasn't amazing either, I agree, it wasn't bad yes, but it just didn't feel intimidating enough aside from almost giving a heart attack. 😅 I hope the latest version sticks with us from here on in too.

[@galacticgamer8760]

@@frozone-yeah 10000! PTS! I agree with you on everything you just said, the V1 was possibly the closest to the movie which of course brought a haunting presence with it but was still kind of bland, the V2 which is by far possibly the worst version is just the V1 but with more bass and as you said sounds too metallic, the V3 doesn't really bring a haunting presence like the V1 but it would definitely scare the crap out of anyone if it was dead silent, finally the V4 builds off of the haunting presence of the V1 but also the suddenness of V3.

[@Killer7kai]

9:10 was a tornado and I think the death was a ragdoll

[@britishheadcrab5640]

this is so cool like the fact that the aliens actually come out of the pods this update is really good and the fact that you can kill the pods now

[@Felon_Confir]

in the movie if u look closely in the ferry scene the tripod thats comes from the water is actually a uber pod

[@J-dogd]

9:11 it seems to be a tornado raif put a short showing a better view of the tornado during the day if u wanted to know

[@acesw6124]

This WOTW game has me hyped on so many levels. 1) Is inspired by a movie 2) Aliens 3) Survival game 4) stays true to the source material 5) Ambience sounds and game mechanics 6) graphics 7) The aliens are the boot that will stomp you if you are too cocky 8) great map design 9) nods to the movie 10) Progress being made and shown with ingame footage and not some cgi cinematics Have you heard of Interlakes. Sadly they are not posting as many updates since last year or so and are also a WOTW game.

[@greendecepticon6148]

In the movie the tripod that came out of the water used an uberpod model at first.

[@Uberkit]

Yeah however they then got picked up by regular pods that were harvesters, whereas in the game the ferry scene does away with the regular pods and just uses the uber zapping people

[@TheSnaker]

I want to see more tripods with the boat, as you said maybe a nod to the scene, but I think it be a bit more like the scene, not exact but having one tripod coming over the hill then another two following it, then being in the water with loads of other people trying to swim away and you have to evade dynamic grabbing tentacles, that would be so good, then having more pods swarming in on the scene. then have those other three coming over the hill zapping all the running people. and it should be raining after you come of the boat for dramatic effect the have all the clothes falling.

[@cursedhawkins1305]

The issue with wishful thinking is that, if that scene's meant to be more of a nod rather than a straight up 1/1 version of the same scene from the movie it might cause more problems with the studio's lawyers, remember that they're doing backup tripod models in the event the studio has an issue with them more or less 1/1 their Tripod models for the movie. Plus we know there's going to at least be a single player and a multiplayer aspect to the game so the Ferry scene and maybe even the plane might not even be featured for the multiplayer aspect of the game as other human players might end up triggering them prematurely whereas a single player experience would most likely have more leeway for such events to take place within.

[@ReveredDead]

Kit I really have to admit it's coming to a point where we should know where he is so far. Like when might we get early access and what not. Sure the videos look great but it will only go so far in generating interest and hype.

[@gj9157]

True, its dragging

[@Uberkit]

While I do agree with you that it would be great to know how far along it is but it's very hard for a developer to provide a specific date for release because they can encounter issues which slows development down and then the stress comes along because there's a deadline. Hopefully when I next speak to Raf I'll get an idea of how far along the development is

Hey, it’s okay to prioritise your health first and to take time to recover from your illness. COVID is no joke. I’m glad to see you back, though. I can’t wait until the game is out and I can see youtubers play this and maybe I’ll even play it myself. Those aliens look buff. Dayum. They’re like 2 metres something tall and seem to be very fire and bullet proof and can kill you with one hit. Nothing to be messed with 😅

@@Uberkit From what I can remember they weren’t that small in the movie either. Not as tall as in this game but I think they might have been between 1.60-1.80 metres or between 5’2 and 6’0 ft. Around the same average height of a human.

[@Kyai0405]

I love everything about the dev update, it's just the inside of the tripod scene kinda (as expected) is nasty, but we did really wish to see more on the inside. Though again makes sense as this game is still in development, and if Raf revealed too much then it wouldn't be so much of a surprise. Can't wait for everything though..

[@Uberkit]

Part of the reason why we don't see much of the inside of the tripod is Raf believed it wasn't his place to decide what the inside of the tripods actually look like as no one knows what they look like inside

@@Uberkit makes sense, thanks for clarifying mate , though do you think it'd be different if it were the back up models the team have made and not the 05 ones? Since with their own models they'd have more freedom?

As to the plane crash, that could NOT be caused by EMP- it would need to be hit by a heat beam. (Trying to make the game as good as possible-, so forgive the long explanation.) Why? Because ALL fly by wire aircraft are REQUIRED to have EMP hardening against not just lighting, but EMPs from nukes. THAT is a serious amount of shielding. The reason is that one of the first computer controlled 747s went from 30,000 feet to 13,000 feet- because the lone computer on board "thought" it was too high. It seems Boeing failed to notice that their fly by wire military aircraft were required to have EMP hardening AND multiple computers because of the altitude- and not because of nukes. This shielding is needed because the higher you get, the less the atmosphere blocks against cosmic rays. If a cosmic ray hits a memory module, it can change the memory from no to yes. If that happens, the aircraft's computer simply reads the memory and acts automatically. This automatic action was a "safety feature" which could not be overridden by the pilot's command at the time. (Since changed.) This left the pilot pushing buttons, yanking on the stick and otherwise flailing helplessly while the aircraft nose dived to 13,000 feet. Having recovered, the pilot declared an emergency, but since he was hours from an airport, he rose back up to 30,000- and the plane nose dived again. (He did finally land at San Francisco.) After this incident, Boeing quietly installed multiple computers in the 747 to prevent this happening again. Each computer reports it's status to the others and voting now takes place. If one is ruled out, the computer is reset. Further, they dramatically increased shielding around the planes computers and electronic vitals. Lastly, aircraft now have special conductors that allow the lightning to pass through. Even VERY large bolts won't cause much lightning- aircraft are hit by lightning constantly. (And according to the movie, the lightning was no bigger than that of any other ground strike. You would need a very rare "super bolt" to affect a plane in flight- if at all. ) (Physics Point: Aircraft in flight are far less affected than a plane on the ground. An aircraft IS a floating point ground system. That means that even if lightning passes through a plane, there is really nowhere for it to go inside the plane- if everything is built and maintained right. Think everything needs to be grounded to Earth? Nope- why does your car work without a ground? Is there a ground wire tailing behind? Why does your flashlight or laptop on battery work? Floating Point Ground.) Anyway, sorry for that dissertation, but Spielberg got it right in the movie. An airplane would need to be zapped with a heat ray. Even very large EMPs would not affect it. Lastly, if a passenger jet yawed as much as it does in the scene here, both wings would likely tear off, resulting in fuel mixing with air, resulting in a massive midair explosion. BEST place to hit it from the ground, and still have pieces bigger than a soccer ball left, would be right through the middle, severing all communication and resulting in the plane nose diving. Then you would get a wreck with large pieces like this video shows. Sorry to be so anal in length here, lol, but I really WANT this game to be as true to life as possible. HOPEFULY you can get this to the builders? Especially about the yawing. It would need to become a vast fireball if they want it to spin that much.

[@iybizuku1366]

Are you ok??? You know this is Sci fi, not real life. But yea.. wish the plane falling from the sky will be slightly realistic

[@Uberkit]

Yeah I do agree with you but I think you have to suspend your disbelief a little bit with a game like this because it's sci-fi, but even if it got struck by a lightning storm it would be better than just randomly crashing, even if a plane is lightning protected it's not like it's your average lightning storm ;)

[@ZombieGrandpa]

I get it, i am long winded. But detail can't be understood in a ten work text message. But since you are here, let me ask you something. Why was the War of the World's movie so good? Just one thing- Spielberg and his legendary attention to detail. He researches the subjects he is filming and knows the difference between mediocre, "Oh wow, that's cool" and "Oh MY GOD! Did you see that?!?" He understands that when something is not right, when it rings hollow, he MUST start over and get it right. The animatronic T-Rex Spielberg used in Jurassic was a pain in the ass. When it got wet, you had about 30 seconds before it started shaking in epileptic fits due to the weight of the water. Spielberg had to literally set everything up and yell "GO!" while his team rushed through the scene. if he was to get anything useable, that's how it had to be. Then out came the towels and 15 minutes later the dino was ready for his next scene. He needed that damn dinosaur to work and he found a way around the limitation without sacrificing quality. That's why Jurassic Park ws so good. Attention to detail. You see when something looks fake or just off, your brain sees that- and you are torn from the fantasy world that a director is trying to craft. That is a sin a good director CAN'T allow to happen- especially in a 200 million dollar movie. Essentially, video games are movies you star in. If something is wrong, if it looks off- you are suddenly thrown out of the reality of the game and into a "huh?" moment. That burst the game bubble- something good games avoid. This game is like a 200 million dollar move to the design team- takes forever to get small things done. Errors must be worked out. Details that don't look real improved upon. And that's why it will be a huge hit. The reason everyone is raving about this is the team's attention to detail. Compare it to Roblox footage, lol. That's why this will be an EPIC game, just like Sid Meyer's early work in XCOM, Apache, Railroad Tycoon and I lost track of how many versions of Civilization. They were all masterpieces in attention to detail. EVERY one of those games would hold your attention today- even on a Commodore C-64. Why? Accuracy and attention to detail. Yeah, I know I said that like 10 times already. But I promise you friend, 20 years from now when you are an old man like me- you will still be playing this game- it is shaping up to be a masterpiece. When Sid owned Microprose, he actually went out and interviewed Apache helicopter pilots until he got the physics, weapons and details just right. He KNEW how the craft would react in the real world and translated that to the game. When he did XCOM, he and his team immersed themselves in UFO lore. Then they moved that creappiness into the game. I seek only to help this game know the details in areas I have knowledge in. You are right, all games are fiction- or they would not be games. But attention to detail and never bursting the player's bubble with something that does not look right is PARAMOUNT if you want a great game. At the price this game will sell at, MANY will feel robbed if they are yanked from the game world by something that reminds them they are playing a game. Forgive the length again friends, but detials can't be hammered out in a paragraph. The designers are crafting a top notch game here- I hope. If they get tired and say, "Screw it!" just as sooooooo many other dev teams have, well that would be a tragedy. Note to the dev team, if you are listening, please keep up your excellent work- stay on those details!

[@ZombieGrandpa]

Well if you want it epic like the movie, then the pod shoots the plane down. And riddle me this Batman- why was the plane so low you could hear the engines screaming? Why is it the next morning the plane seats have no bodies? (Well just one anyway.) The plane was a Kamikaze bomber trying to find a way to force itself through the shields. Think about. Really loud airplane noises are heard in the basement. Then pod zappers start firing. Why try to shoot down a plane if you are invincible? Because maybe there is a limit to what a shield can take. And the aliens DON'T want the humans to figure that out. I work for a military contractor for the 747 and other Boeing passenger\military cargo planes. It is INSANE how much EMP protection they have. That's why only a heat ray through the center would produce a crash with results like that. That scene in the basement was a knife fight in a phone booth between a Kamikaze and alien pod. The plane lost.
