Yup, just like in the original. Although you've just given me an idea on how to increase the length of the game...
I considered changing the color scheme for this project, but it grew on me, and I believe DGT didn't quite utilize the full potential of this color scheme and style.
I was hoping for a green color to complete the ME3 ending. Also, another game already? I still haven't played the 2nd one!
You have a beam sword as a side weapon and some enemies are equipped with melee weapons too.
That's something. Unfortunately, chances are said sword consumes energy used for other weapons and/or systems, right?
Yes, it consumes energy, but it can be upgraded to become a devastating weapon. Its main downside is that it can only be used for stationary attacks, making it harder to use in certain situations.
2 new types (energy and EMP), but there are fewer mines in the game. There's a higher focus on other interactive objects, such as jammers (which were absent in DGT), laser tripwires, turrets, and the way they work together and how you can use your abilities to deal with them.
I guess moving into a charge attack is a lost technology, even though the robotic suits can ram each other like drunken robot boxers all the time.
IIRC, energy is only used for your shield in the sequel and not much else, as the laser rifle had magazines. Would the sword use the energy for your shield then?
Roxor approves.
Flashlights are a lost technology it seems.
Not really, it's more of a question of usability by the suit itself -- getting your hand off your weapon, reaching towards the sword, swinging it, then putting it back is a long action, while ramming is performed with basic movement.
It was also used for the booster ability. As for the rest, read above.
Duds were considered and even implemented, but I haven't found any practical use for them. Maybe in a much bigger project.
Again -- these 'dark' zones are called that way due to the way the effect is presented. In reality, this is interference screwing with your visual sensors.
Depends on the area. In some areas the it's borked anyway and you're supposed to navigate on your own without the minimap or long-range scanning.
Nothing beats good old ramming attacks.
That's why you implement the blade into the arms for a quicker access. Or carry the sword in one hand and the gun in the other, since the 'bots shouldn't need both hands to fire the smaller weapons.
I know, I was joking.
Yes, but this model doesn't have that. You might get a configuration like this in future games, though.
That should be ideal, unless the Robotic Combat Suits' arm limbs are completely fixed and cannot move much, if at all. Of course, that works better if limbs have their own HP pool, so that you cannot punch yourself to death (there was an obscure FPS starring a ninja where you could do just that).
Limb system is something I wanted to do since DGS and it would add a nice layer of complexity to the series.That should be ideal, unless the Robotic Combat Suits' arm limbs are completely fixed and cannot move much, if at all.

Also, relevant:
Weird, since you can set up additional keywords to make the game easier to find. Gotta double-check that on my end.
