For fuck's sake, angry Joe is a spectacular annoying retard.
Recently they announced that the early access will be MP games only because they "don't have the technology" to make it work in open world, but I thought that has been known for a long time now.
64 players I'll be fine with for a shooter, I always like Battlefield. Obviously not an MMO but eh. As long as it's good I'll be pretty satisfied.They said they will start small but aim for 64 players later.
Well, Planetside 2 gets most fun when battle goes from 24vs24 to 96+vs96+. Only then the satistaction of crushing enemy resistance and breaking the stalemate and then routing them out is the greatest.Then again Planetside sucks after some number of players at a location.
Eh I think Planetside is only fun when you have an organized group listening to a good leader. Which is... 48 players in a platoon? Best case scenario is an outfit that has 3 good platoon leaders so three platoons, which would be like 144. But again that's best case scenario, and you'd have a bunch of randoms, too. I guess 96vs96 works, 2 platoons with a good number of players that listen. But I dunno about 96+.I would still prefer they'd choose Imperial guard and Chaos cultists instead of their SM variations. IG could be wasted in millions, and announcing a game that would be true to fluff and athmosphere while killing tens of thousands of SMs in a couple of hours is a joke. Nevertheless could be fun in the end, not a WH dream-game but a decent MMO-shooter.

Space Marine was pretty good in that aspect in terms of animation and sounds - except gameplay-wise during multiplayer where you die in two hitsDoesn't have any of the weight/power I expect space marines to have. Very few games have captured that element of it, with DoW still probably being the best example.
Gerrard said may not be able to do open world. Aiming for regular shooter 'arenas' for now.Nope. So far it'll be like planetside - mindless meat grinder with occasional orginized alliances.
What were they using before? I heard some rumors it was Unity but I couldn't find any place mentioning it specifically.
Yes I thought so, too (which was the Darksiders engine actually), because the alpha gameplay looked a lot like it. I hope this doesn't change things too much, though it wouldn't be a good management decision to almost start over. So (at best) I'm assuming they are using UE4 mostly for world, art, vehicle, etc assets while maintaining Space Marine-esque mechanics.What were they using before?

I guess the same as Space Marine (action TPP no cover shooter a'la Gears of Wars) - Phoenix Engine?
I dunno, really. But from previous videos it seemed like they already had combat and gameplay set, and had not worked much at all on the graphical aspect (animations, textures especially).This is an eternal alpha ?
Arena gameplay will carry the game if it has good netcode and is supported well. Space Marine stayed alive quite well despite really shitty netcode and lack of new maps and everything. People just got bored eventually, really.How is the U4 engine for massive open world with tons of players?
Right now reading the EC forums. The model for the game appears to be. Arena battles of some sort at launch with Planetside 1-2 open world in the next few years. But I see a lot of people not willing to buy that line at all. Stating that if open world was always going to be the real meat of the game then it should have been the first thing worked on and released. Or they say simply that arena gameplay alone simply cannot nor will not carry the game until it reaches that point.
If it's anything like Space Marine, it's quite fast when you sprint, hip fire is decent, it's just slow when you right click to aim.slow movement, over the shoulder camera, poppin da moles, AAAwesome finishers
i'll stick to Tribes
Well duh, the Alpha Legion's in there?This is an eternal alpha ?
