not gonna lie, that looks good. i do need that instagib arena

 

[Kurt Russell]

coming to steam

 

[Alextended]

If they have all kinds of abilities and shit why make it rockets only too. Like why's that cool as a theme?

 

[Alextended]

Just to sound like Rocket League?

those maps are small man

 

[Kurt Russell]

eaplay

[Alextended]

Get back to respawn to show MOH already :d

 

[Alextended]

Ok Squadrons might be nice too, though it sounds barebonesa and sim
plistic with the 5 v 5 online focus, hopefully the campaigns aren't simplistic like battlefront 2's.

 

[lashman]

show gameplay, goddammit!

 

[Swenhir]

Alright, mechanics, show me

 

[NarohDethan]

Frostbite huh

 

[Swenhir]

I do not care about your geek points, I want to know how things fly

 

[Nabs]

there's only 10 min left, right?

 

[Alextended]

An hour already passed?

 

[Swenhir]

15 I think

 

[NarohDethan]

 

[lashman]

lol, so true

 

[Swenhir]

That's such bullshit

 

[Swenhir]

What he is saying, not you guys

 

[Alextended]

Sounds like they have some inertia stuff going on, so that's promising.

 

[lashman]

crossplay with vr ... nice

[NarohDethan]

Who gives a shittttttttt show the damn game

 

[Alextended]

Not full newtonian physics I imagine but maybe at least nice like Tachyon: The Fringe.

 

[Swenhir]

It is indeed, here's hoping but that kind of hinges on how they do it. HOTDS comes to mind

 

[Swenhir]

Yeah also that

 

[Swenhir]

Basically hold button to go inertial, change your orientation, release button to recouple

 

[Alextended]

Yah.

 

[Alextended]

Worked really well in Tachyon. Underrated game.

 

[lashman]

looks decent

 

[Alextended]

I mean graphics were always gonna be awesome even if they jus reused battlefront assets... Needs more :d

 

[Nabs]

I wouldn't mind giving this a spin in vr

 

[Alextended]

Power management stuff is good.. intertia stuff is god... they ant really showing shit though.

 

[NarohDethan]

Nabs oh you’re gonna spin that’s
for sure

 

[Nabs]

 

[Alextended]

Diff ship classes are good too but with just 5 v 5.... I guess flagships will be objectives like battlefield 2142 titans or whatever those were called.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I'll be preordering this closer to launch.

 

[prudis]

customize yout shit by simply playing the game

 

[prudis]

doesnt sound like EA

 

[Alextended]

I guess they really have to try to fuck this up, otherwise it should be fun at worst :d

 

[lashman]

agreed

 

[Futaleufu]

They should use this same engine for podracing

 

[lashman]

i wish!!!

 

[Swenhir]

That's really shallow in terms of mechanics demo. All I can see is a FM that has very little intertia, and little HUD guidance. But as an arcade game, seems nice!

 

[Alextended]

Linear progression back and forth in map, maybe a bit like aerial unreal assault mode.

 

[Kurt Russell]

give it to me

 

[Swenhir]

And yeah with a VR game, "game engine" footage is pretty much CGI compared to the stuff that needs to run at 90fps

 

[Alextended]

is it shown no-hud or just how it is without lame "follow the tracking retricle ahead of the target" stuff?
