if I cross the Dark Zone do I end up in Yellow Zone of Homefront?

 

[Dance Inferno]

HQ version, french only for the moment though

Thanks for this, I couldn't understand a lick of the Italian version.

Game looks pretty epic. Pre-ordered it for the beta access, let's see if the game convinces me to keep my pre-order. I missed out on Destiny and I miss NYC (used to live there), so this game has the potential to be right up my alley.

So will it be easy to coop with strangers? Matchmaking etc.? I know probably only one other person who will get this game, and my gaming habits tend to be late night-early morning Friday to Saturday affairs and not much else. I've also never been big on stranger chatting on the headset.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Definitely didn't like the bullet spongy enemies, they could tone that down a little. Also the shooting itself didn't feel exactly satisfying at all, for me. There was a lot that lacked in the alpha and we'll have to wait and see. I certainly am not as excited for it as many people here are though about it.

 

[Super Wario]

I caved in. I just pre-ordered the game and I will get the Hazmat Gear Set (hazmat outfit, hazmat go-bag with increased health skills and the POF P416 assault rifle) and one beta key as bonus. 599 SEK ($70).

Thanks for posting that. I am officially hyped.

 

[Vooduu]

Sorry, but I'm gonna wait and see how this turns out being its Ubisoft..

 

[elitewillie1]

This has me extremely hopeful.

Agreed.

Yes

Same but after this trailer i will definitely keep an eye on it.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I mean I'm sure the PVP will be fun but what will really make or break the game long term is the PVE.

 

[Vooduu]

Yea, the concept actually looks really fun, I'm just not going to blindly support Ubisoft games.

If the launch is successful and the community stays with the game, I can see this being really fun. Hopefully there is enough content.

Exactly. This is my biggest concern.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Looks like it got hit with another downgrade

Spoiler

lol. It looks great

 

[TheMilkGuy]

pre order on amazon, receive code, cancel order, profit

Does amazon takes too long to send the code?

 

[deadduck]

Bought an Xbox just for the alpha.

Never had an Xbox or 360 before. Pre-ordered the special edition for PS4.

 

[Shawnyofthedead]

I barely understood more than 5 words in that trailer and it still got me to preorder

 

[Broadbandito]

Maybe this English version will help with that:

It's finally up on YT https://youtu.be/GNIji2oVo9w

 

[Gaogaogao]

I hope the shooting really feels good.

if the shooting in destiny didn't feel so good, no one would stick with it.

I want to know if I should get this on pc...

It is Ubisoft published. The game is made by Massive Entertainment.

huh. well far cry 3 was good

Fantastic instructional video.

Thank you kind sir

 

[family_guy]

It is one large open map or is it broken down into large mission levels?

 

[Syinn]

Large map.

 

[iCodec]

I got it in about 10 minutes after placing order.

 

[Sou Da]

Large map.

So do you get to go to all the boroughs or is there going to be a Staten Island dlc or something.

 

[Syinn]

So do you get to go to all the boroughs or is there going to be a Staten Island dlc or something.

Alpha was a limited space so I can't confirm that.

 

[everyday math]

Looks fun. Hopefully Gaf can put together a good community like we did for Destiny. Run this town! 😎

 

[Goodacre0081]

haven't watched it yet. were the car door physics downgraded?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

SO it's a hubbed base multiplayer game like Destiny?

Too bad, I really wish it was a open seamless world without hubbs.

Mp is open world. Just limited to certain areas.

 

[Doffen]

Car door physics will be exclusive to Xbox One thanks to the cloud.

 

[BinaryBear07]

I am excited for this game. The only thing that worries me is Ubisoft's servers.

 

[Portugeezer]

Cool trailer, back on my radar.

 

[RoKKeR]

Alpha definitely got me interested, keeping an eye on this one.

 

[Mozendo]

huh. well far cry 3 was good

IIRC they didn't touch SP, they just ported it to PC and worked on co-op.

Great video. tbh I haven't been following the game too closely, so I wasn't sure what all that Dark Zone / Rogue stuff was all about. This video explains it all pretty well

I bought beta access via that humble bundle and had a fairly recent hardware upgrade, so I'm ready !

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Reaction after watching the video in the OP. Game looks dope, really thought Ubi would push it back again but everything points to that March 8th release date.

Here's to hoping they can stick the landing and then some.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Base Building looks excellent.

Dark Zone reminds me of Runescape Wilderness in a lot of ways.

...yep, I'm sold on this game!

 

[e90Mark]

In for the beta. I enjoyed the Alpha on xbox, but looking forward to better performance on PC.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Can you loot other players bodies after killing them in the dark zone, or is it only those yellow packs they carry? It would be nice if a game like this incorporated corpse looting but most mmos these days refuse to allow it which is a shame.

 

[Grief.exe]

Hopefully this isn't locked to 60 fps.

It's 2016 fam.

 

[wild wild rice]

As a former New Yorker I'm interested in checking this out for cheap someday. The inside of the Farley Post Office is spot on.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Only the yellow packs.

Which contain whatever loot they happened to pick up in the darkzone.

 

[Tainted]

How do you all feel about their decision to remove that companion flying bot thing which was seen in that first E3 reveal ? At the time I felt looked like a cool addition but apparently it unbalanced the game too much so they had to remove it

 

[SketchTheArtist]

So if I go Solo in those Dark Zones to get some loot, I can do it by being stealthy and try to avoid other players?

If the mechanics are right, this could be a REALLY fun stealth experience, from what I've seen of the game but with actual people playing the roles of ''NPCs''. Neat.

 

[texhnolyze]

Colour me hyped.
Eagerly waiting for the PC system requirements.

You can only get the darkzone loot by extracting it which emits a beacon alerting all nearby players...so everyone in the area will know you have loot at his point, so stealth doesnt really work

 

[bigboss370]

I'll try the beta then decide if it's worth it. A lotta big games coming out this year, have to be smart with where my money goes. Was really interested in this game at its reveal but haven't seen anything substantial since. Hopefully the beta gives a good feel for the game.
