The Forever Winter gameplay #4 - Ashen Mesa shootout

I also forgot to mention in the intro part that I added a slight brightness increase to the footage so if some parts look a little washed out it's due to that.
The final gameplay video on the development build before early access on the 24th. It's nearly here people.

[@SuperKAMAI]

Hello, greetings from the Japanese community. I've seen several gameplay videos of Forever Winter, and yours stands out as the most refined, aligning perfectly with the creators' vision for the game. The other gameplay I've seen on different channels was somewhat rough, and I couldn't really experience the fun of the game. However, after watching your playthrough, I finally decided to purchase it. Thank you for sharing something wonderful!

[@RafaelConcepcion-un1ko]

Tbh, anyone new to the game will stumble in their first few runs. But that's ok, since the setting is not meant to be for you, a scav against well-equipped military forces. It gives a whole new perspective of things.

Well said

Thanks @SuperKAMAI :) I hope you enjoy the game.

Btw, the author of the infamous manga Blame! inspired the environment design, I recommend you to read it.

[@SuperKAMAI]

Thanks for getting back to me! I wasted no time and grabbed the game on release day to dive right in. While it’s still a bit rough around the edges, you can already see the core of what makes it fun and visually stunning. I’m super excited to see how it evolves from here. Fingers crossed that they’ll chip away at the issues over time. I'll definitely keep playing and continue to support the devs. Keep up the good work, Scavs!

[@Dwumper]

This game could be something absolutely amazing. I hope the devs take their time and get the support they need to make the masterpiece I think they are capable of. Hell, I might buy it and play just for the visuals anyway.

[@captainyakitori]

you know what would be good? A way to throw lures or rocks or some other way of luring an enemy to a different location so you can sneak passed them. Another thing is artilary attacks. Especially when there's clusters of units, it would make sense to shell the location rather than send in forces. This could open up new events that have you look for shelter or use gasmasks with deteriorating filters.

[@CriticalRocket]

That would be pretty good. Keep the enemies moving about and checking away from you.

The maps look like settlements stacked over ruins of previous ones. Almost like they're getting destroyed and then built over again several times.

[@SoulWraith101]

That's exactly what happens. The lore to the world is super deep and cool if you haven't seen it

[@breadlast]

That's because it is. If I remember correctly, the in game lore is that cities get destroyed and then giant AI 3D printer robots essentially rebuild on top of the wreckage when there isn't active warfare.

[@Sorain1]

From the lore, that's 'The Night Shift' at work. Automated 3d printer construction equipment, though it's designs are a little warped. Also, the body cleanup crew can and will grab anyone live at night, since it's there to recycle organs.

[@grimgrahamch.4157]

The fact that your water already ran out is presicly why I hate this mechanic. It will just feed my anxiety and make me feel like it's an obligation.

[@CardboardBones]

I like it (in theory) as a motivator while playing, though I heavily dislike the "water drains while you aren't playing" mechanic.

[@gunkthroat6401]

I feel the same way, but this game seems to really take pride in community voting for things in the game and are actually open to listening to feedback, I believe this is gonna be a common complaint by the people who are interested in the game and should be changed relatively soon

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

The drop off stations that allow players to donate water to other players will probably cause an abundance of water once the game is fully released and many more people are no-lifing it, thus allowing more casual play.

i hope the devs dont forget one crucial rule : you only get one chance for a first impression. release needs to be solid for this game to be a success. from what i've seen and heard so far, performance is bad, AI is lacking, pathfinding needs work. and i havent watched that much. i wish the devs all the best because the world seems really interesting, the game loop is unique and the art style is amazing.

[@chaoticmind176]

there are lots of exceptions of that rule even the one that put extraction shooter on the map. Tarkov really didnt do that well at release and didnt had that many players in the beginning and also had lots of issues only after 4 years or so when they did their first twitch drops it popped off.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

Watching these videos I kind of understand the "clunky" movement. I guess what happens is your guy picks up momentum to get to top speed of whatever position you're in. So from a stand still to a jog/walk/sprint you gradually build up to that speed rather than it being instant. Honestly that kind of makes sense when you think about the rig you're carrying. I guess it could be made of very light metals but I'd imagine in a world like this where you likely don't have easy access to highly durable and light materials (that would likely be worth selling/trading than using) you would be using easily found and expendable unrefined metal that has some weight to it. Overall excited for tomorrow. I just hope that as a mostly solo player this won't feel impossible.

[@VerbotenGeist]

As a continuation on that thought, it seems that the more loot you're carrying the longer and slower the build up becomes. It also looks like it affects how fast you can turn mid-sprint. The movement actually feels like something that you'll adjust to over time, and it's the collision with the environment that ends up making the movement feel clunky. At least that's how I'm seeing it now.

[@Sorain1]

@@VerbotenGeist Yeah. There's some places with rebar sticking out that visually look like you fit and are collision blocked off that I've seen trip up multiple people. (Especially on Scorched map) but that's fixable via either filling the area with something nasty you wouldn't want to step on, or adjusting collision so people can fit through.

[@HTacianas]

Strangely, the technological gap between the world powers are flipped in this universe. Europa (Western Europe and both of the Americas) are stated to be on the technological backfoot, using overwhelming numbers to make up for their obsolete equipment. Meanwhile, Eurasia (all of Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe I believe) and Euraska (Russia and Africa mainly) are technologically superior but fewer in number.

[@Flourikum]

​@HTacianas tbf if Russia, Japan, and China banded together, they'd get a tech foothold over the US in a heart beat. Problem is the cooperation part.

[@exidorutkowyz6735]

So the firefight at 19:00 is very intresting to me becouse i think it show what the devs said about units having internal threat level of the players. You got into a shootout with what i think was Euruska fireteam and during the engagment Europa fire team came behind you but didnt engage on you becouse you A were shooting their enemies B you were not a threat to them so after you killed them all they just left becouse you didnt do anything to them so you had time to rez your friend even in their line of sight but thats my observation. Or it could be early acess junk and they didnt registere you existed XD

[@HTacianas]

That's something a lot of people I've talked to bring up. Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell what's intended behavior and what isn't due to the lack of communication to the player. If it is enemies ignoring the player on purpose, there needs to be some way of telling the player. Having them wave off the player or give verbal warnings would help. I don't think you'd just completely ignore an armed person who happens to be a civilian. Someone in the squad would definitely be keeping an eye on them even if you're not shooting yet.

[@namaan_taw8259]

I'm assuming that it is intentional by the dev, during the fight you can see the rep change in the top left corner.

[@Sorain1]

@@HTacianas I think a stopgap for that would be a sort of 'Green/Yellow detection' like the red markers for actively hostile units. A signal that 'We know your there and don't care.' would help players to know when it's the AI not considering them a threat vs the AI not seeing them. A full on Green/Yellow/Red detection for 'Don't care/Back off/Engaging' would visually convey states to people beyond the current 'investigation bar/! of detection/red 0 of engagement' setup.

I really hope they change the water system, only thing holding this game back. The brutal grim dark setting, the scavenging for scraps, the tense gameplay seems great.. But then if you can't play the game regularly you're just screwed out of progressing.

You don't have to lie. The game is a mess right now, but the foundation is solid and the immersion is addictive.

Nope, there’s ~5 maps at the moment, all but one having about three spawn locations (one is special and a “one way in, one way out” vibe of getting loot, coming back the way you came and holding the extract against hostiles). One or two of the spawns on each map are available from the start, the others require rep with one of the warring factions to use.

What exactly is the difference between Europa GRINN and standard Europa Infantry?

[@TheEnergizingbunny]

Infantry seem to have older, possibly sub-par gear and rifles like the M4 and M16. Europan GRINNs and Europan EODs are better equipped, with up-to-date gear and better weapons, along with having specializations (though this doesn't stop them from mowing down basic enemy units, including you). I've seen EODs wipe out entire hordes of Eurasian melee cyborgs with their rifles despite specializing in explosives, and the GRINNs use the .50 caliber rifles, which means they likely specialize in taking down Eurasian Heavy Brawlers and other heavily armored units. There is occasionally Europan Elite Infantry, who are simply "regular infantry, but better equipped."

Once you have four days of water stored another weapon trader arrives and he's got a couple of weapons with him.

Ashen Mesa has water in the multistory buildings, the extract can be a little tricky at times.

[@SlySkydiver]

The Euruskans take the biomechanical engineering of Eurasia to the extreme. Almost everything they use in integrated with that technology in some way or another and from the looks of it that Euruskan infantryman we saw when they were sneaking by to the chain was no exception as it looked like most of his body was machine while he got to keep his head. The Euruskans also field cyborgs of various kinds and are the reason we have Toothy and the huge mechanical dog unit with a human face.

Early access is the time to suffer such things. I guess remember to complain about it

@@Icidulon Yeah this game mechanic would be cool if you are 17 year old and no responsabilities, but we cant play all days as an adult, you are lucky if you can play 3 times a week.

From what I've seen there are a ton of super early upgrades to either reduce the water needed or allow you to buy water with credits. That means if you are going on a vacation you can just pump a lot of water into things. Also the devs said they are looking at things and adjusting. They want a hard as balls game, not a hard game that is balls to play.

@@TheSilverOrn Best I know on the subject is that the new water cap is 80 days worth, which is basically 3 months if your stocked up. That said, I'm hoping upgrades make that a case of 'early game is rough' rather than 'pressure cooker 24/7'. And I still think they'll ultimately end up changing it to something akin to 'uses water when in the field rather than real time' for the good of people coming back to the game.

@@Sorain1 From what I've seen, and its all CBT footage, its actually easy to find water if you are looking for it. Water tends to spawn in groups at certain places, and will randomly spawn in other places across the map. If you really need to get a lot of water because of a vacation, you can build your rig for a "water boy" role and grab like a week's worth of water in a few runs. Some of the people I watched play would get two additional places on their rig for carrying large items and leave with a lockbox and two water barrels. I mean getting out with a barrel of water gives you a full extra day's worth of water. Of course this really will suck for people who can only play on the weekends, because it means that they need to grab at least 7 things of water each weekend, but maybe there will be a system for going into "low water usage" where if you don't log in for over two days your crafting and etc get slowed down to half but so does your water usage.
