No interest in this?
i was interested until i played it
not avp3 gold
dead by daylight reskin meets aliens vs predator trash
maybe try again in another ten fucking years
also what he said
Asymmetrical multiplayer games are always ass, and no amount of ideal branding will change that.
Played the hell out of the open beta. It's an illfonic jankfest much like F13. The good intentions are there, but it's still shit and I don't think any amount of content updates will change that.
But why though? Most of the Asymmetrical games i've heard of had people say that they had good ideas. Why is it so hard for asymmetrical games like this to survive in any way?
Ironically, I think it's a balance issue. The sides never feel as equal as they should.
Yas Forums hates group multiplayer since it requires a bit of, god forbid, teamwork to git gud
Post female predator screenshots and lewd art
I keep getting a YouTube ad for it where the sound is horribly compressed and it sounds terrible
FPBP and /thread
its made by the people who made friday the 13th. it will be a buggy mess
My opinion? When you make an asymmetrical multiplayer game, you basically have to make 2 entirely separate games that are then Frankenstein together into one package. The biggest challenge is, no matter how radically different these "games" are, they need to be almost perfectly equal in both quality AND depth, as well as be balanced enough against each other that still feels fun for both sides. It needs to be like this because if one of these "games" is shittier than the other, or if the way those two "games" interact isn't fun enough, that imbalance will cause cataclysm for the game - people in the shittier "game" will quit, and people in the better "game" will quit because they have no ability to play.
You can see why these types of games fail so often. You'd have to do years and years of forethought and playtesting just to have everything be balanced on a razor's edge for something that, at least right now, is still relatively niche.
Dead by Daylight seems to be the only game that's been longstanding with the asymmetrical formula, but imo that's because everything is so equally shit that it balances itself all out.

No.

>Shit franchise where kids with autism can talk to aliens
>Probably uses Denuvo
No. I have 0 interest in anything related to Hollywood, EGS, and shitty american movies.
>Shit franchise where kids with autism can talk to aliens
Latest films being garbage doesn't make the original any less good.
its alright, pred gets really fun once you unlock more gear.
F13's technical fucking mess of a shit show, the developers handing out unfair bans and doing nothing about the legitimate hackers and exploiters, and their botch job of the promised post content support made sure I would never try this shit.
I just wish the disk didnt throw like a brick
Outside of the only playable if your a fan Concrete Jungle I'm disappointed that there hasn't been another single player predator stealth game
Is it fun to play as the survivors or whatever they're called?
Its fun to bully the fuck out of new preds when they dont have any gear unlocked
Because they're shit.
There's only one good example of Asymmetrical game working and feeling good.
Natural Selection 2.
Is that why fighting games always struggle?
Fighting games struggle because at their core they're brutally complicated 1v1 games where outside of EXTREMLY RARE situations, you have no one to blame for your loss but yourself. To truly be GOOD at a fighting game you need to basically know the ins and outs of every single character playable, what they can do at any time, how they can or can't control the neutral, what the blockstrings and proper blocks commands are, when to tech...for every character. It's insane the amount of depth that goes into fighting games, and because of that (and people being punk bitches that can't handle the L) they die off.
The beta was alright, but it's not as good Dead By Daylight or Resident Evil Resistance. Also, Friday The 13th was such a shit show that I wouldn't trust the support for this game. It ain't bad though.
They ran out of funding while developing the game to a point where they had to get a bunch of Z-list youtubers to do all their VO work.
thats not depth bro, you literally just described breadth perfectly.
The core structure of fighting games is very simple, frame ad/disadvantage. hml, combos block and grab breaks.
Then to pad the game you have to learn 40 characters animations for the same shit.
Wow, so your plus frame moves look like that?
one of the worst genres ever spawned, including battle royales
>thats not depth bro, you literally just described breadth perfectly.
Gets boring fast, the soldiers are way, way stronger than the Predator. Haven't lost a match as them yet and my buddy and I have killed the Predator pretty much every time.
Agree with both points. Dead By Daylight came out at the right time and attracted enough people that it's managed to stay alive this long, but yeah, it's not that "fun" to play as either side. Good survivors know how to give killers the run around, and good killers will take down survivors instantly. It just becomes a game about the meta. I want to say that Resident Evil Resistance might be one of the best asymmetrical multiplayer games so far, and it's really fun at its core to either play an RE2 Remake style game, or a sort of dungeon master. However, it already has the same problems in that one team that knows what they're doing can completely shut down the other team and it purely becomes a game about playing the meta.
are you pretending now?
a very small set of mechanics hiding behind different animation sets is still a small pool of mechanics.
grow up lad, your game being bad doesnt really mean anything.
It might be simple on paper, but it's really difficult to execute on the fly. It's like the difference between Chess and Speed Chess. The game changes a bit when you don't have the luxury to study your next move.
>grow up lad, your game being bad doesnt really mean anything.
The Predator easily destroys a soldier 1v1, but, just from playing the beta, there's no real reason for anyone to be on their own, or hell there's never a reason for the whole group to not always travel together. If the game forced the group to at least split into twos, then there might be something there. Maybe, but still probably not.
This game really makes me want a single player Predator game like that too. Would be a lot more fun than this for sure.
I don't agree entirely, but I do think Hunting Grounds is a good starting point for a single player Predator game. With a little more to it, there could actually be something neat here.
This game is one of the clearest examples of shovelware in quite a long time, it's just not good at all.
It's basically a B-game, but without the experimentation or soul of what a lot of PS2 games tried to do. I wouldn't go so far as to call it shovelware since there is some effort here, but it ain't great either.
