it looks almost what I imagine being a foot soldier in an armoured Core game is like

[@ozymandias1091]

Thumbnail looked eerily similar to a shot from the ac6 reveal trailer. Exactly what my mind went to

[@Dracobyte]

Or Battletech

[@HinokasArabfan1]

Playing a game about mechs from the common soldier's perspective sounds like a good time.

[@elemenopycuaress7454]

I was thinking it looks like playing as one of the civilians in Brigador... In the brief moments of gameplay before they turn into a fine red mist.

[@Tuna989]

that is the point

[@Jabullz]

This game looks like something I've always wanted. An actual dystopian nightmare world at war. Perfect, hopefully it doesn't fall flat!

[@Mixnar98]

Exactly!

[@Paladin.Brandis]

It has bots apparently so you could play it 20 years from now and enjoy it solo! Thank the universe!

[@bobsagetbillboard1876]

Seeing modern guns and vehicles like the apaches and T-90s mixed in with all the other dystopian nightmare tech and gore is a great touch.

Makes sense that the AI completely misunderstands where body parts go, how many and in what order

[@astral6749]

@@NeptuneSega A believable lore reason for this could be that the AI was created to always evolve and train itself based on its environment. Because of the war, said environment is littered with corpses and dismembered limbs, thus affecting the AI.

[@Hunter57588]

@@astral6749 I thought it was because they were destroyed so many times that the AI has lost the original shape and meaning of the object and just 3d prints it from memory.

[@armintor2826]

I remember hearing that it's because the AI have 3D printed these buildings, statues and other things so much and many times over the years, that over time it just forgot what it was originally supposed to be or look like, which is how we get some of these surreal scenes

[@domosapien]

What an interesting concept. I'm getting weird blends of Hawken, Hell Divers, Lost Planet, and... believe it or not - Dante's Inferno.

@@armintor2826 Doesn't surprise me at all if true. Has that hyper condensed robo -city look to it.

[@bobjones7533]

Not a kids movie

[@lemniscatelogos7917]

Mad god by Phil tippet was an inspiration as stated by the devs

[@Lightscribe225]

It's actually a 3 way war between Europa, Euruska, and Eurasia. This works into the mechanics so when you inevitably piss off a Europan mech and they send a mech after you, you can run right at a Eurasian mech and the two will start fighting each other, leaving you to loot the scrap from the loser.

[@souldry]

They say there are two factions fighting. Apparently it’s Europa vs the alliance of Eurasia and Euruska.

[@Zagor24]

This game has been on my radar for a while now and I hope it delivers. However, I simply cannot unsee the horrendous frame rates in the footage we've seen so far. -.-

[@nicobenji0248]

Yea but would rather play a jank game with heart than what the AAA games are releasing these days. Still they gotta iron out the performance but still have respect for what they're trying to do as an independent studio with a small team and no outside funding

[@biggiecheese3678]

I’m usually one that does not mind sub par frame rates as long as the quality of the experience makes up for it like as long as it doesn’t require frame perfect movements which would require great frame rates and from what the gameplay premise looks like it’s gonna be less fast quick action blowing apart everything in your way and more slow and methodical taking your time and choosing your fights so for games like that I can usually tolerate like 40 ish fps and after a while I can sorta tune it out of course having a better fps would be preferable but it’s not a deal breaker for me

[@vornir6169]

The gameplay we've seen is alpha i think, so it's really early in develelopement. But still we gotta remember the no1 rule: do. Not. PREORDER. See if the game delivers what it sales. (Sorry for bad orthograph, english is not my first language)

[@Zagor24]

@@vornir6169 Never have and never will preorder. But even if your game runs like crap on day one of the release, at least make the effort to make it look like it runs good in your trailers. xD

The art style is so good. It this juicy blend of Beksinski and Killzone that seems so obvious it's surprising it hasn't been done yet. I just hope the gameplay is as top tier as the visuals.

OH NICE! Was hoping you might cover this one, LevelCap. I'm pretty enthused about it, considering it's being built by such industry vets with no compromise in design philosophy. Really cool looking, and really hope it does live up to what they want it to be.

[@pablieto-veganson]

I have become pretty jaded when it comes to the games industry. And pretty much nothing excites me anymore. But this game? This game i'm actually hyped for. Something actually interesting and different.

imagine there are two sides of a mission that scavs on the game get randomly, so while one scav is helping Europa in a battlefield, another is helping Eurasia in the same battlefield, being able to see and interact with each other

[@asifkaka5052]

This game looks so much fun but it will be a while before it is finished as it is still in production. I just hope they deliver being a scavenger in a post apocalypse world and knowing that your are not the one killing but the one surviving is such a cool idea. I just hope that they nail it as it looks so good.

[@michaell263]

Looks like armored core

[@austinaragon3110]

I like the music in the trailers, but this game would capitalize so well on its visual style if it has an equally moody constant soundtrack. They need to evoke John Carpenter from The Thing OST and this game will be a vibe to experience.

[@thebutterflyking]

Thought it was death stranding 2 for a second

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Looks like Armored Core 4 if you were one of the few people alive who is not inside a mech

[@yakhooves]

I am excited for this but my expectations are definitely tempered by my forty years of existence. I love a solidly created world in my games, books, and movies, and this looks like a seriously fascinating dystopian world of perpetual war. So hopefully it isn't too janky for fun!

[@teagan5494]

Games where you aren’t the main character, are the best. In this game you are a simple scavenger, trying to survive a massive world war between Eurasia and Eastasia (or something idk). Military forces won’t fight you if they don’t have to, troop squads will run up in your position and than blast troops walking behind you, massive drones scan the streets, mechs walk amongst normal people fighting in a massive unending war, and you are caught in the crossfire

It explicitly won't be an FPS, but the effect can be mimicked by using Helldivers 2-esque feature of having an FPS look while aiming down sights.

A PVE game where the world does not care that you are the player, if they really keep this vision it might be my favorite online game, being a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. veteran. Too many games nowadays carry the player by the hand or are power fantasies.
