This looks amazing. I want a new game to get into and think this may be it. I hope it catches on.

took me 1:06 to decide that I want to buy this when it comes out.

I'm surprised it's classed as an indie title according to the guy, I feel this is close to what I think battlefield should have released instead of another world war shooter. looks good!

[Chaosphere]

I assume it has been given that label as it is being developed by a small team without a major publisher behind them. Although I don't like how that term is slapped around these days, this is the very definition of inde(pendent), so fair enough.

It's small and independent development is also my biggest concern. It looks like a generic military shooter, and if the gameplay is not absolutely top notch it may have little else to 'sell it' as a result. Many good ideas fall by the wayside due to lack of proper substantial continued development in the long run.

I'd happily be proven wrong, and will keep an eye on the game from the sidelines.

I wonder if a tactical shooter from a smaller indie developer might not be a blessing. There are so many games in this genre being pushed out by behemoth publishers who's sole remit is to milk as much cash from the game as possible, through DLC, season passes, micro-transactions etc, often at the expense of player enjoyment. Maybe a more 'honest game', if this is what this one turns out to be, might be a breath of fresh air. Even if it's game play is only adequate/decent I'd feel better about supporting and playing it than I would about throwing another fifty quid plus at EA.

Watching with interest.

[Chaosphere]

Could be, smilo. I have perhaps been left pessimistic by the slew of 'early access' games that fail to meet even fairly basic expectations. Supporting a developer because you like the way they roll is all well and good, but it's hard to stay cheery when you're a few hours into the game and the basic mechanics are just not where they need to be, for example*. There is only so far good will takes you, IMO. Must be tough, being a small developer in a tough industry, working against the expectations of miserable sods like me. Again, would be really happy to be proven wrong on this one . Let's see if they can do it...

*PUBG being the obvious exception here :norty:.

[smilodon]

I'm still in the 'sit tight and wait for the quality reviews' camp. Early access can be a blessing or a get rich quick scam, agreed. But you do get a 'feeling' about some companies in that they seem to genuinely being making a game they are invested in and are proud to be making. Subnautica, Kerbal Space Program, Sir You are Being Hunted come to mind. I accept most game devs feel that way too. It all goes south when the big publisher gets their grubbies on the game.

This look interesting imo, although hopefully as he says in the video a bit better colour palet where you don't need an ultimate high end monitor to see the shades of grey that might be a player.
Also would be nice with a game that you don't get killed på a 1/10th pixel you can't see even if it's in the middle of the monitor (Given up BF1, it get decent if I actually can start it, but 95% it's show yourself about 5ms then die shot from out of nowhere)
