Support NeoGAF

[KooopaKid]

So what's the point of the game? It wasn't clear in the video. Is there missions or a story?

1. Do not pre-order this game and support shitty practices.

2. Do not buy this game because you'll be directly supporting shitty practices.

3. Do not let your friends buy this game for the above reasons

4. Do not ever consider buying this game, even pre-owned

5. Do not let the hype from less informed gamers who don't care about what's right or wrong influence you. Stay strong, you're doing gamers everywhere a service by boycotting such stupid practices.

6. Do not let anyone tell you that you're lone voice/boycott won't amount to anything. History has proven otherwise.

7. Do make sure to make it as clear as possible to publishers that you will never support any game where they lock entire modes behind a pre-order wall.

I can't wait for my pre-order to arrive.

I already bought it, sorry bud.

 

[KooopaKid]

They also just uploaded a video of them going from one side of the map to the other

Yeah so I really I don't see the point. It's almost guaranteed the objectives will be repetitive and creatively brankrupt. Shame because the parkour looked Mirror's Edge good.

 

[Hellshadow]

Electrified weapons + raining outside = awesome.

Sorry mate, I loved Dead Island in co-op with my friend and this game looks fucking great. Bought it for 25€ and am gonna play the shit out of it.

This game quickly went from 'meh' to 'buy'.

Wow, you're kind of an asshole. Do you also buy millions of dollars worth of Amiibos just so nobody else gets fooled into buying them?

 

[GravyButt]

Silly question but do the zombies level up with you?

 

[Big_Al]

Looking forward to this, I really enjoy Techlands games and with the exception of The Cartel they haven't really let me down yet.

I don't like telling people how to spend their money, but I agree that consumer behavior has to change or things will continue on as they are or get worse

 

[derExperte]

'Impressive' AF/LOD @ 7:50 while climbing up the antenna. Or the pop-ins in that other video 5m in front of the player. Looks like a superjanky Techland game alright including basically the same gameplay as in DI. Plus the pre-order stuff and probably their usual unstable mutliplayer. No thanks.

Mission failed.

 

[Aurongel]

Looks like another janky Techland game. I'm surprised they put this video together and allowed it to be shown considering the number of visual bugs and collision glitches present.

 

[Tambini]

Looks okay, a bit by the numbers with the xp, skills and towers..from this video the zombies don't really look that threatening either

 

[Psychoward]

What's this about pre-ordering game modes now? Also it looks neat but I feel like I'd get bored within an hour or two.

 

[SURGEdude]

I think zombie shooters/slashers are creatively bankrupt, but this looks a bit interesting, at least.

Techland, though, so I would never buy this without seeing the reviews first. I thought Dead Island was awful.

Yeah I'm taking a wait and see. Cuz Techland has a history of really lazy games.

Also agree about it being pretty hard to break into the zombie genre these days. But slashers? Those we need more of.

 

[Ricker]

Litterally the first thing the 2 guys said is that they died a lot and also it will be harder during the night,c'mon guys...

What's this about pre-ordering game modes now? Also it looks neat but I feel like I'd get bored within an hour or two.

Would like to know what some are complaining about this for also...

 

[SURGEdude]

Waiting for the reviews on Dead Island 2, as well. The only thing that appeals to me about that game is the developer, being the one behind Spec Ops: The Line.

Oh man I don't know how I keep forgetting Yager is doing DI:2. I really should be more hyped about it.

 

[codhand]

love Techland, great coop FPS games.

 

[jpax]

What is up with the tearing in the video? The game does not ship like that, does it?

Console version, who is surprised?

 

[jesu]

Looks ace.
Can't wait!

 

[Bold One]

interested, veeerry interested

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Looks like Dead Island, no surprise. Will buy and enjoy the hell out of it for a few hours.

 

[MaLDo]

Tearing + low FOV + horrible water shader + chromatic aberration + excessive radial blur + downgraded graphics and lighting + incorrect colorgrading.


I have the game preordered but ... whatever.

 

[Big_Al]

It looks a loooot more mobile than Dead Island though,as someone who played the shit out of Dead Island (and Riptide) I'm quite excited by the possiblities watching the footage for it. Looks smoother and more refined animation wise and there's a lot more moves available to the player - things like drop kicking, grappling, throwing zombies onto environmental hazards and the player seems to be generally more mobile. I fully expect their to be some euro jank but looking pretty damn tasty to me.

What do you mean by the bolded ? Downgraded compared to what footage ?

They were playing it on PS4. I'm sure most of this can or will be fixed on PC 😊

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

I really wish GMG was selling this game, it's where I've been getting most of my PC games lately.

Best deal I've found is G2A, which has it on sale for like $33. Not sure how long it’ll last, but it comes with the preorder bonus. Only thing is that the keys won't work in some regions.

Reveal gameplay was supposed to had 60 fps target and had better graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5v9IexzmME

 

[derExperte]

Console version, who is surprised?

But it's exceptionally bad here and the video compression is probably hiding some issues. Also going by my experiences with DI and Riptide the PC version won't be a technical marvel either and probably have its share of own problems. I mean if it turns out better than expected I'll take a second look, DI was fun for the first few hours. But preordering/paying full price? Too risky.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Really?
Looks like Mirror's Edge with zombies.

Exactly. That's badass.

[Rogue_Ledr]

The 30 FPS thing really hurts an intense game like this focused so much on motion.

"Do not play video games" is what I'm hearing.

Edit: I do support the first "commandment" though. I do not suggest pre ordering this game because of the playable zombie DLC. That is crooked. But people can do whatever they'd like...

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Idk the weapons seem very standard run of the mill, nothing creative honestly. The free running looks fun, but I don't see where the depth comes in. I guess Ill wait for Gaf impressions

I admit this look noticeably better. In fact this looks stunning, and I was already pretty impressed with recent DL footage.
Is there a tiny chance the PC version won't be downgraded ?

kinda agreed, but the melee weapons are a different story

This was the last trailer runnning the pc version

There is hope then. Dat 60fps is godly, my 970 likes that.

Just wondering why you posted this - what have they done that's so horrible?

 

[Endo Punk]

The games doesn't run like ass because they actually have a publisher that wants to release a quality product. Warner Bros were right to delay the game, they just keep rising the ranks and are definitely one of my fav game publishers now.
