I just clicked on the link hoping it would be something mediocre. After seeing the trailer, that I have hope. We need more of these games. Why aren't we talking about this for fucks sake.

OP's image threw me off. game still looks neat though

>>255938383
nope, but until we know about dlc/season pass I cant get hype.

Just read a thread on the forum saying that the name would not really be good for advertisements and what not. And I think I agree with him, it's the same as Nexuiz or whatever the fuck it was called. Name can mean a lot.

This on PC and Halo on the Xbox, Arena shooter is back!

Seems fun, will def pick it up for 20$-30$ depending on how many maps it's got or how good it is

too bad it'll either go unnoticed or reddit will pick it up and cry until the devs add killstreaks, custom classes and ADS and then they'll abandon and move on to ruining the next game

I think it's a shame that it shares an aesthetic with Tribes. Like it or not, that's going to turn people who feel burned by T:A away.

Have you never played UT2K4?

>>255935652
No. Many games have tried to bring arena FPS back. They all failed because casuals don't want it, and the hardcore fans are to autistic to try out new games or accept slight changes to the ones they already play. This game will be dead a few months after release.

Shitting on other games is always a good way to market yourself. I'm sure that'll take them far and that this won't get its shit stomped in when Master Chief Collection gets announced for PC.

>>255935652
It looks cool, and it's glad that the developers have a specific platform in mind instead of parity bullshit, and they seem aware of the FPS genre.

That said, the name sounds fucking stupid.

>>255939260
Current shooters aren't that good either, because no matter how bad you are at the game, as long as you level up and getting better weapons and perks, you'll always have a clear advantage over someone that's at a lower level, instead of putting all players on an even field and having them search for weapons and ammo throughout the maps.

>dub step

>bragging about no F2P

day one purchase. This guys know what's up

>>255941540
They need to sell more xbones though. Maybe they are waiting for people to get more consoles before announcing it, or they are going with the time exclusive tactic (most likely if the game does come on PC). Still, Halo is a shitty FPS and has very little in common with proper Arena shooters, this game (can't remember the shitty name right now) looks way faster and more skilled based, with some distinctive elements that set it apart from the old Arena Shooters.
I see potential.

>>255941178

i bought Halo when it came out on PC because some part of me thought it wouldn't be totally dumbed down when MS bought Bungie.
it was a very bland, boring shooter and i ended up dropping it quickly.
maybe some of the newer Halos are better.

$15 is a steal if the game is even close to being decent. If it turns out to be meh, then $15 is nothing anyway.

It's a good gamble, in my opinion, since it looks like it's gonna be decent.

Kind of reminds me of Onslaught from UT2004, so that's neat.

But when I was watching this trailer, I got a "HEY GAMERS REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS US OLD SCHOOL GAMERS HUH" vibe from it. It was almost like the developers didn't have anything good to say about the game, so instead they were like "w-well it's not like CoD".

It's great that there's people who want to make games like this, but it's probably going to be one of those games that gets hyped up because it's not just another CoD clone and so on, it comes out and everyone loses interest in it quickly, because everyone who played FPS games back then are either normalfags who moved on with life or tired gamer NEETs.

>>255953805
Because oldskool arena FPS got stale and faded away. Being loyal to that specific genre just like how MOBAs are to the original DotA means there's little to nothing to do that isn't a reskin or one gameplay gimmick permeating over the rest of the game.

That's why games that imposed new features and not just gimmicks became popular, such as Halo and CowardDaddy. These features offered something new and most importantly a meta different than what we had until then, which was stale.

But ironically these new features got now stale and devs decided, what better than to rile up the hype for the oldskool style of FPS and its meta? Nostalgic people will eat it up even through it'll never be a true arena FPS and new people who overdosed on CoD will see it as something new and fresh.

tl;dr You're all getting baited by marketing.

>>255954980
> Kind of reminds me of Onslaught from UT2004
I'm pretty sure that was the whole point

>>255954014

Exactly.

The reason Brood War and Warcraft III were fun was because they aimed for fun, then became esports friendly later (Brood War atleast anyways) due to the game getting great balance after release, etc. Meanwhile SC2 was esports shit from the ground up.

>>255955264
Dota 2 is the best example of a multiplayer game sequel done right there is

Had Blizzard done the same with SC2 no one would care about Brood War anymore

>>255955568

I'm usually not for sequels just being the previous game with better graphics, but it depends.

Dota 2 being DotA with all these new features, bells and whistles, graphics and so on was exactly what it needed to be. SC2's multiplayer should have just been Brood War with new graphics and online features (just like you said) while the campaign would still be a sequel.

Diablo III however, I wanted Diablo III. Not Diablo II HD or Diablo 2.5, but Diablo III. But what we got was Diablo: We Want The Console And WoW Audience Edition.

Is there a map maker?
Will the devs support the game for years?
If it doesn't have either of these, then the game will die.

i have played over 1000 hours of shootmania.

the game had great potential but the developers (nadeo) just might be the most incapable/naive devs ive ever seen. so many shitty decisions, they cant even get the GUI and the server browser right, they remade it at least 2 or 3 times and it still sucks. the gameplay has many flaws as well (tri-laser for elite, unnecessary falling damage, elite being the main mode, etc).

it's still good for a bit of fun but nadeo is fucking the game up more and more with every patch.

I just want a fun shooter with a brisk pace.

Doesn't matter if it has moderm game mechanics like ironsights.
Doesn't matter if it's bunnyhopping and wallrunning.

I just want a game that plays well.

I feel most modern shooters like to take things out of the player's hand and still hand them stuff for nothing, like killstreak rewards and loadouts.

Not so fun.

>>255957787
Games like Strike Vector have literally no advertising and the game's not that great to begin with. It's just a fun indie title.

Now with big games like Unreal Tournament and maybe Toxikk things might shake up a little

What I was trying to say is that it can play however it likes and as long as it's not terribly slow I would enjoy it.

Titanfall was.. Okayish. Didn't really like the pacing because of the Titans themselves.
Even if they aren't terribly dangerous if you know what you're doing it dragged the game down.

From the game's FAQ:

>However, unlike the shooter giants from the past, TOXIKK features an XP and a bounty system. The XP system and its associated ranks are used for reputation purposes, for our match-making algorithms and to unlock new skins, but they do NOT change the stats or the abilities of your character. Your rank will show other players how experienced and skilled YOU are (rather than showing the experience level of your game character).

>>255962353

You really dont know how a oldschool arena game work.

>>255962013
Leveling/grinding is the reason why MMOs are addictive. You give players a little reward of a number going up every so often to make them feel like they're accomplishing something. For keeping people playing your game, it's the oldest trick in the book.

A truly good game doesn't need something like that to keep its players entertained. When you finish playing a game and feel good because you genuinely had fun and not because some of your arbitrary numbers got bigger, that's the mark of a good game.

Halo's appeal to many is its custom games, is it that hard to make the option to let people customize their games these days?

I'd kill for a game on PC that I could dick around with /v/ and play Fat Kid

you should just be able to import your own skins made by modders. i think that's what this other guy meant.

I was burned by T:A and I like the fact that it has a similar art style. Assuming we get enough flexibility in custom games we may even be able to go fast again.

Do you remember it Anon? The wind buffeting your helmet, the VGS spam, that music change when you grabbed the flag?

What does halo 4 have to do with anything?

>for our match-making algorithms
This could be kept completely invisible.
>to unlock new skins
Count on many players becoming bored and dropping the game as soon as they unlock everything since there's nothing else for them to earn.

>all of these people blindly defending to the point of shitposting a game that has only had one trailer with minimal gameplay that is building its marketing campaign on "well it's not Call of Duty"

>shooters become casualised as fuck and indies must revive it and revert it to the late 90s
>meanwhile fighting games are still strong, and only a few shit western games (injustice, etc) have tried to pull it down while the majority are 100% dedicated to their core fanbase

I think we know the superior genre.

>people still have hope for "throwback" shooters

they're all just cashing in on kids who never actually played the games they so desperately tried to emulate, they'll ditch it and the quake audience will still be playing quake

No, in olschool arena games you were able to do something called FORCEMODEL, which basically means you choose the model and the color of the opponent, also all the models had the same hitbox.

You were there to actually play and get gud, not to grind for your faggot amour like this guy>>255961612

It's fun to see how many newfriends are these threads nowadays

Yeah, Roguelikes

Halo Reach

XP unlocks you armor, and it kept me playing the game long after I was tired of the game modes

Also DOTA 2 kind of. After every match there's a chance for an aesthetic item to drop for you

How does it feel to be shit at marketing?

Looks like Halo.
