This is the first game ive seen that gets the weapon viewmodels and FOVs right. FPS have stuck in the SD era, destroying great weapon models and sights by placing it slammed up in your face making the sights huge. Not to mention innaccurate sight zoom/fov.

My biggest gripe right now involving this game is the comments people are making about this game. I want them to stop comparing this game to tarkov and a "tarkov-killer", cause it isnt and quit comparing this game to it. Let the game be its own thing and quit trying to make everything about your fix for a tarkov alternative. The second is people claiming they want more PVP. Its obvious how many people have not done any research and werent interested in this game until popular tarkov streamers started playing. The devs have said thats its a PVEVP, with combat against AI being the main focus. Stop trying to make the game dive into something that isnt needed if they do it right with their vision. We dont need a game focused on PVP, if you want that go play tarkov or any other shooter out there. It just pisses me off seeing people rip into a game in its alpha phase and have no idea the vision the devs have without including their own tarkov objective and trying to make a game like it.

I know they're probably doing it to ensure good visibility but I really hope different times of day/weather systems are planned because the flat midday lighting isn't doing the game a ton of favors visually. Like I think the reason a lot of people feel it has a generic art style is because the lighting is so flat and neutral. Game needs a little bit of lighting spice.

The Day/Night cycle is planned to release with the first major content update ~6 months after EA release. It will be accompanied by NVG's, IR Strobes, Flashlight/Lasers, etc. In addition to those, it is also planned to release with the electrical system. If you remember from the first batch of Creator videos last month, there were light switches and breaker boxes. The system is there, just not yet implemented.

I hope they get the customization to an insane level and improve the AI.

@levelcapgaming - the comms piece seems similar to typical radio systems. you can't continuously broadcast IRL, so what we do to combat that in practical settings is keep what you're saying brief and to the point, and if its a longer report or broadcast break up the communication by inserting "breaks". awesome video btw thank you for the preview, looks fun!

The sight pictures are realistic, the problem is you cant really render Stereoscopic Vision in a 2D space like a monitor, the Eotech pretty much disappears and the dot is just on the dude IRL yea there is an optic body that you can still see but it feels a lot less invasive when you have two eyes. This is a gameism but at the end of the day they still look great! Sights are not supposed to take up your entire vision, you are supposed to be able to aim and still see what is going on around you. If anything the blur effect is kinda annoying. It looks like they have done an amazing job recreating what it feels like to be a soldier on the ground, those include long walks and massive amounts of boredom with brief moments of pure terror. Love it, I hope to see a community that is working together to make this game one hell of an experience!

They should have backpack patches you can customize, that way you can tell if it’s friend or foe if you look well enough

I really dig that feedbag about looting and bag size.

I remember watching one of your videos of how games can implement realistic ADS view as of how it works when you look through diffrent sights IRL. Im shocked that most modern tactical shooters don't use this, atleast as an optional ADS feature if you want to maximise the immersion. This is definitely one of those games where it should be an option for such a feature.

Looks like doing chores with a small gun in your hand. Map visually looks good tho.

People are comparing the state of this game to Tarkov when Tarkov has been in beta for nearly 8 years when this game is in pre-alpha. The point of these tests is to receive feedback so the devs can fix it. Im looking forward to this game as it seems like a somehwhat easy to pick up extraction shooter.

Not having much inventory space was my largest issue and disappointment tbh. When buying guns and equipment cost a pretty big percentage of available starting cash, going out and scavaging some extra guns, ammo and supplies is a must but you can't do that very effectively at the moment. I don't think I want tarkov levels of inventory (or potential inventory space) but the ability to haul a few guns and mags, food and meds would be a very welcome change because atm you pretty much have to decide if you're in need of more meds, food or ammo... i mean my 4 pocket slots are almost always taken up with meds, my rig is always full of mags, so it's my ruck that has to take spare ammo and food which then limits what supplies I can haul back. Would be nice if the backpacks had inventory slots simulating pockets like in tarkov, so sure you can only fit 2 guns but you can slip a few mags in a front pouch and ammo or meds in side pockets etc. Atm it just feels like backpacks only have the main volume available when that isn't how they work... but hey, early access and it's only been in development for a year, lets see how well the devs cook.

That is super realistic for not knowing friends and enemies

Looks awesome. But they really need a "lowered gun" animation state. You cannot run around for hours holding your weapon in that position.

And what do you expect when Czech developers are working on it? Some of them worked at Bohemia In. (ARMA and Operation Flashpoint). We have only skilled developers in our country, for example authors of Mafia or KDC 😊

Appreciate the work and effort the devs have put into this game but not sure this is gonna have a place on the market by the time it releases, Tarkov will have been around for quite some time with more content and stuff. I know the two are not identical but people who wanna play these hardcore extraction shooters are likely a smaller community. Not sure there is a demand for same-ish shooters as Tarkov but we shall see.

I prefer the weapon size and viewmodel as it is. better than having your gun in your face basically and only seeing the barrel like in ground branch or having those goofy looking, bulky viewmodels like BF2042...

@CornFed_3

Ай бұрын

It looks terribly modeled. It’ll be adjusted prior to launch, virtually guaranteed.

I think the sight issue and the gun size issue are pretty much the same thing. If you increase the size of the gun on the screen by moving it close to the pov you also increase the sight pictures. The guns do look a bit far away.

There should be a regular sprint that slowly drains stamina like a jog and then the tactical sprint for dire situations. I feel like that would make the stamina system less annoying and it would be more realistic because as an operator you're not going to always be a a full sprint when you want to move a little faster.

They should add drones into this game as well. They are a huge and evolving part of modern warfare and hope to see them in some shape or form in this game

The rendering of the optics is relatively correct aside from the footage of the Eotech holo looks very dim which is incorrect but the acog being small and also hard to shoot out of is pretty much exactly how it is in real life. At least they didn’t mimic the terrible eye relief in the acog as well. Overall if you could adjust placement of the optic like in ground branch that would be ideal cause then the work around would be (just like in real life) bring the optic closer.

The devs need to watch your ADS optics video.

If they allow modding this game will be a great content creator for milsim

The amount of people white knighting this game is crazy! I was excited for an experience like this too, but it seems they have focused too much on certain details and forgot about gameplay. While it may look pretty for some cinematic shots, this map design is a terrible choice. Environments such as this are well know for being confusing to navigate, with no notable features or landmarks. This creates the situation of constantly checking the map rather than navigating by eye. Now add in the sheer amount trees and bushes to this hard to navigate, PVP situation and you will soon see the frustration. All the advantage is to the campers, and good luck trying to explain to your teammate which bush just sniped you. Not hear to argue if that's realistic or not but may want to ask if that's what you want to play?

@Anime2077ttv

I totally agree, the people defending this game at all cost against the most minor criticism is crazy

It doesn't look like they've added gun weight and turn speed limitation. I remember when ARMA 2 had that and people kept claiming it was lag when the developers said it was simulating realistic movement speed. I wish studios making FPS would ignore the complainers and fully simulate realistic body movement and even fatigue for lifting various weapons. I get tired of seeing player movement that is as fast as they can move the mouse. Does it have variable walk speed using the mouse wheel, like with Star Citizen? That feature alone makes SC so much nicer to use than a lot of FPS controls.

I'm gonna be so upset if it doesn't have propper controller support

I don't know how big this issue is going to be, but the bitrate of the video and also streaming (in the future) his hurting with the foliage of the jungle... Like, will people enjoy watching videos/streams of the game when they mostly see blurred images? The person playing will not have this issue, but I guess only the future will tell

Should’ve been a Vietnam war game Or at least, this map would look amazing in that setting

For this game i might spend thousands on a pc and a 4k monitor and learn to play with a mouse at 42 years of age..

i dnno bout you but i dont put my sights up to my eye socket to replace my contacts to aim.

Looks like a coolio game But it does, as you say need work. For me, you had me @ missions and replayability ...... I will have this on the radar for the future though, hell I may even buy it in early access to support the dev's but I'm guessing that's the whole point of this showcase.

“Impressed I had high fps with Nvidia DLSS & Frame-Gen on” There we go gamers have been fully converted.

Once again these indie devs are executing what AAA studios seem to fumble every time. When I watch this my thought is “ghost recon should’ve been something like this”. But honestly, I’m glad an indie studio is getting this done, 2024 year of the underdogs

The optic rendering is realistic, major games when u aim down sights it reduces the fov, causing an eye magnification with the scope, which in real life does not happen, so 100% the optic rendering that u mentioned is fully intended to be that way, and when you hold breath the character brings it a little bit closer to the eye

As someone that usually plays medic classes in games due to my real world interest in medical care. With the medical system in this game it would be very fun to run a medic build, but we'll see if that ends up being beneficial having someone else heal you so you can cover or if it's just better to heal yourself.

Cool idea but I wouldn't enjoy this because it would feel too slow and most people just want to get straight into the action and not roleplay their way into it.

disagree with the weapson scope the real one works like this. it is small and you are not usisng eotech to shoot over 200 yard anyway

yeah sure.... on the same moment tarkov is facking it up.... who are the share holders/money keepers on both projects?

The game has great potential but they ruined it making it an extraction shooter. Will need more gamemodes but it looks good for what it is, I do love the visuals and the gun play from what I can see. Another note: The shadows on trees at longer ranges is simply Nanite foliage mixed with mesh distance fields which is just two tick boxes built into Unreal Engine 5, thank the engine programmers at EpicGames for that one, not the devs. One thing I really dislike is the sound effects and gore, why the fuck are they using pink mist and feather light corpses??? It pisses me off, in real life you don't usually get much splatter on impact, it's all on the exit of the bullet and the kinetic force that pushes the shredded flesh out so it's very unrealistic to have pink mist for blood and people shot go down like a sac of potatoes. Second, the gun sounds too generic, it needs more punch to it. The devs should consider looking through some live leak war footages and learn.
