Unfinished: Outriders (08/13/20)

This looks kind of cool.

from the bombcast this sound generic, but I'll give it a chance

EDIT: after watching. it looks interesting. the abilities and guns look interesting.

the last battle scene looks unique. hopefully more varied environment

Wait, does the game have no shadows?

@fudgepuppy: "WIP - not final" in the top left suggests it probably will.

This looks tight and good mechanics but a bit dull.

I love the effects and this looks super satisfying. But, shit, is it too late to add a cel-shader or something to this brown mess? I almost can't stand staring at it... but then numbers start popping and ice appears and it looks good again. It's like they were asked what art style they wanted and someone said: "none."

I don't know about this one

I'm pretty excited for this game. It looks like a more modern 2020 version of Mass Effect that I've been looking forward to. It certainly checks off a lot of existing boxes, but it a lot of these hadn't been put into a Third Person shooter which I've been looking for.

From my understanding, this press event was understaffed, and a lot of other publications had troubles trying to get the correct information about the game or more details into particular systems.

I loved Bulletstorm - the story was dumb as heck but the gameplay was incredibly fun.

That said this doesn't seem to have any of the wildness that Painkiller or Bulletstorm had. It looks like a fairly tame third person shooter with some abilities.

@fudgepuppy: Strange, they definitely have shadows, good lighting and just all-around better graphics in their videos on youtube. Maybe it was on low or something due to it being a streamed test? Or they just forgot to bump up the settings. :V

So how many different characters can you techromance?

Nice overview, Ben!

So they seriously thought it was a techRomancer and not a techNomancer? Nobody even questions Ben's imaginary robot fucking class.

@mordja: they've still gotta tighten up the graphics on level 3

Are the graphics settings on Low or what? I've seen other (presumably older) gameplay videos and they look a lot more polished than this. That aside, I don't like first person shooters usually so I'm looking forward to trying a "3rd person Destiny" that isn't Anthem.

Looks cool. Kind of like Remnant, but a bit faster. They make cool games so I'm more curious than I was after the announcement.

Borderlands 2 has a Mechromancer class, think Ben is mixing up Technomancer with that.

It's weird how 60% of the screen is devoted to motion blur.

I'm hoping this game will replace Destiny for me. I can't wait to see what their end game loop is like.

Technomancer. Not Techromancer. I thought I was going insane and/or just hearing him wrong. Am I alone?

Man...I'm usually not one to nitpick on this aspect of a game, but those visuals ROUGH looking.

visuals are the main thing i'm worried granted this looks like a base ps4 footage or the setting is on low.. animation look bit rough if it get's polished up i'll be down for this as a fan of loot shooters

just wonder how old this build Ben was playing is

@katsu044: It's got keyboard prompts, so hopefully it's a mix of low quality settings and/or an old build.

This looks really bland and uninspired.

Does seem like there are ammo pickups

I'd try it, at least. The problem with these GAAS looter shooters isn't the core gameplay so much as it is the longer term content loop and grind. Destiny feels like an awesome game to anyone if they run through all the content just once. Longevity is the struggle.

i.e., you have to be able to like MMOs.
