Atomic Heart - open world first-person shooter set in an alternate universe Soviet Union

[ReforgedSoul]

I'm still surprised that Atomic Heart is coming out and actually exists. It feels like trying to discern if something was real or if you dreamt it up.

Those clowns are shooting themselves in the foot again.

PC version will feature some draconian copy protection and the devs don't know if it would affect performance.

I'm not a fan of these types of games and it seems like the company keeps on making stupid decisions, but the trailer actually showcased some pretty good gameplay. Assuming they can deliver on the quality shown in the trailer with good performance, there might be something here.

How does this thread not have the vaporware tag? This shit was announced when Obama was still president IIRC.

This thing does not exist as far as I'm concerned. The devs are saying shit like "We implement DLSS which would offset FPS lost by our custom DRM, which btw we don't know whether it would have FPS cost.", which is something no real engineer would say, as it makes no sense either way.

From Google translated article:

"How it will affect performance, the developers are not yet sure, but they expect to compensate for the losses with the help of DLSS."

Fuck off...

Bagratuni said that the game will contain about 60 "hit songs familiar to all of us from childhood and not only," but also the original soundtrack. Atomic Heart will feature over 200 references and Easter eggs, including games from the STALKER and Metro series.

wow, heckin eastereggarinos!!!!

The "hit songs" thing has been done before as well.. by Bioshock, which had music "stolen" from one reality into their wacky alternate one.

You can move it to General Gaming now

will this be another mick gordon soundtrack that comes with a game?

 

[ferratilis]

It looks so stupid. It's like nuWolfenstein, but even worse. Remember when people thought this would be an RPG? Lol. Also, someone needs to tell these guys to tone down on postprocessing effects, shit's nauseating: motion blur, camera shake, particle effects everywhere you look, narrow FOV.

^Literal

I don't get it. Dick Gordon I found to be beyond overrated in D2016 and DE. In fact I'd go as far as to say that in the case of D:E, a game I very much like, it is the stand-out Achilles heel. The gameplay is pretty great, the story is borderline non-existent as it should be (or otherwise easily ignored), sound design is solid enough, Art direction could be better but it's not bad at all, but the soundtrack merely implies things are epic, blood pumping and cool. They're kind of boring. Even the best track I do not include in my massive video game OST playlist. It's all thematically appropriate and does compliment the action well, sure, but I simply expect more after the video game OSTs of the 90s.

For metal examples:







And then some...only allowed to post 5 it seems.

I think it wasn't Mick Gordon who did D44m Eternal's soundtrack. But you're right, I found his music to be extremely bland and lacking punch. Yeah it's metal, but it's like a random mash of strings and loud thumps with no concord to its rhythm.

the boss is pretty much this

More classic gaming metal, because every thread needs a little incline:

Who the fuck makes a trailer like that and thinks to himself afterwards "yep, this is a good showcase of our game"?

 

[kangaxx]

I agree, it's visually unpleasant. Borderline seizure-inducing.

I'm having a really hard time believing these are the system requirements.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS​

• MINIMUM:
  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10 (20H1 version or newer, 64-bit versions)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600@ 3. GHz or Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.1 GHz (AVX, AVX2 and SSE 4.2 support required)
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 380 (4 GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB)
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 90 GB available space
• RECOMMENDED:
  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10 (20H1 version or newer, 64-bit versions)

A lot of devs lie about this shit these days to maximize sales.

The one benefit of development hell, your game probably will have lower system reqs when it comes out than contemporary releases. See Butterlord, decent ports of older games, et cetera.

Are there other games apart from NOLF and operation flashpoint where i can kill commies?

Actual commies, not third rate hand me downs.

I should specify I want to kill soviet era slavic commies. I guess GoldenEye is another one that comes to mind.
