They said there'll be more customization in the full game. I'm assuming these aren't fully final anyways, but it looks like the intent is to have the armor you wear show on your character model, so if it doesn't change much, at least people won't be naked for long

[@criticalcoreshock]

​@@IvanKorsinskyI really agree, or at least they have a mask such as a balaclava on, I just don't like when they have faces shown. I find it cooler and more ominous that they're anonymous and have no skin or next to no skin showing. It's as you said, in sas4 they're completely anonymous and we don't know what the sas soldiers look like.

@@Crunch-sas4 lets pray

[@KingOC-z77uy]

At least they didn't do medic that dirty

[@emoment1088]

If we're being honest, they *had* to change medic because people were playing what was supposed to be the support class as the king of all DPS. It just wasn't healthy, although to be fair the way the game was setup, it didn't really allow for you to play as anything except for pure DPS and speed at the highest difficulties anyways.

[@mdkanaki3886]

Why on earth they go for Dead Plague style gameplay 😢? Shame I was hoping for the classic to return

[@thelordofthelostbraincells]

WTH is dead plague, I've never heard of that (Edit: I just looked up some gameplay for the game, and now I also hope it doesn't end up like that, hopefully this is just for this build of the game, things can always change. Hell, they could probably always start over from square 1 if they're not liking this version)

[@phantomwarewolf8504]

They should include "Tackle" as a dash skill for Juggernaut so they can actually protect a teamate and "Roll" for Medic to pass through horde of zombie. They should increase damage for a short time for Assault when they dash (cant pass through)

[@phantomwarewolf8504]

I would be nice if they add Engineer Class in the game and it would fit in the game story since the organization is "no more" things like turrets are limited; they have the ability to reload/revive turrets by using their own ammo like if they use rocket weapons they can reload rocket turrets.

[@thelordofthelostbraincells]

Robot summons are something like that, because I hope they don't gatekeep automatic turrets behind engineer.

[@UltimateSaveRL]

Maybe the engineer could have a skill that can refill turrets ammo… and it cost 45 energy or something. Then there could be other skills like a barricade that has a cooldown just like the medics purple smoke bomb… but it’s a barricade… and it holds up until the time limit runs out…. But if you set it just right… zombies cannot get past the barricade or there effects… like shadow, acid, fire… which can be useful.

[@edensl8759]

hopefully there will be a variety of weapons from different "companoes" like hvm,hiks,cm etc... also premium guns. different level strongbox drops, nightmare mode, fun contracts and challenges with rewards. i believe it has a LOT of potential to become an amazing game, it needs to keep many things from sas 4 that were successful, but this time with those new and improved graphics and animations.

[@Crunch-sas4]

It will probably have most things from sas4, really hope they don't mess it up

[@skyemanuel5069]

if the character designs are for the lore, I can see it. But, I personally dont like it. It's like Hunk from Resident Evil. Loved by many bc he's a badass unknown agent. I also want troll or meme builds like only melee, unkillable regen tank, status effect build, or ability spammer. Or more classes besides tank, assault, medic. Maybe a playable robot, engineer, scientist, or a crazy guy in a btd super monkey suit that has banana powers.

Pro tip from PrimoZ: Make sure to get your characters named "Busi" and you will have triple the chance of getting black strongboxes, keys and cores!

[@Crunch-sas4]

true

[@amanjyotsingh3550]

All I want is the grind to be less painful I did the math for sas4 and to get your gun to maximum potential cores do play main part and since you need 2 for sure you need to grind about 3,920,000 credits, about 4mil it's insane I just hope the grind for this one to be less painful really

[@Crunch-sas4]

we'll have to see

[@phiromvum2193]

Bro, the designs are bad, ngl. They should look like actual mercenaries and make them wear gas masks that only cover the nose a mouth and possibly give them helmets and kevlar vests. And if you can't, give them makeshift gear like shoulder pads made from cardboard or something, or ski masks with colors red, blue, and yellow. Just to show that they are different classes with different abilities. These guys look like raiders or bandits from an apocalyptic video game or show. But there is one good thing they did here, they put accessories on them like bandoliers and other stuff. So that is my opinion on the outfits

[@CesarTheChip]

We just got developer diary 2 just come out and they said there working on the guns and characters to improve their quality and skills

[@CesarTheChip]

And more

[@zu1200]

Damn I'm dissapointed. Character design is different than the previous franchise in a bad way. For some reason this game doesn't have the same ominous atmosphere as the other SAS. Well, at least its title is different so I can act like this is a completely different franchise lol

sas3 had clans so I guess it would be cool if ZA:R also had clans where you could work together to get some rewards and all that

[@thejeaker384]

I hope this is just an extremely early version of the game because right now, this looks extremely uninspired. I wouldn't even guess this was SAS 4 sequel...there's nothing in it that reminds of it, both in graphics and in gameplay. There's not that subtle horror/sci-fi element. The gameplay looks and feels like a vampire survivors clone but with guns and zombies. Idk...I hope they turn it all around

[@Savitar540]

I thought when they said it would be a 3D version it would be like Dead Space or something like that but that's a long shot. But other than that they have at least made a new version of the SAS game and new details like the zombie look and the revive feature and others and that really Impressive. But the character design is weak compared to the character design in the SAS 4 version, other than that there is no story mode and there are no different armors to wear which makes the game lose its value at that point. So, I hope in the future that it will be fixed and Adding those things. But overall the game is okay and that's normal at the beginning of any game.
