I love the Verdun FPS and I hate shooters as a genre.cheerfullydrab posted:The best WWI video game would just follow the plot of the Charley's War comics and be as much about surviving the vicissitudes of the military establishment as combat against Germans. I'd love to see one of the French developers, Quantic Dream, or Ubisoft, or Dontnod, do a choices-matter adventure game about Private Jean Crapaud. It'd lend itself perfectly to an episodic release format, and it'd be the perfect way to bring out the whole life of the soldier.

Verdun the game will survive because you have to slowly inch yourself face first patiently towards the enemy trench whilst hoping a shell doesn't fall directly on you. Realism! Also, if you have played Valiant Hearts Trin whats your thoughts?

No joke, I would probably buy and play the hell out of a 'realistic' WWI simulator because I'm the kind of schmuck who owns and plays Space Shuttle Mission 2007: Oh Boy I Hope There Are Lots Of Switches To Throw In The Right Order and hates fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePv7ZdWVjY4

HEY GAL posted:pike and shot is ok i guess but there's not enough 17th century video games out there Super true. Honestly want an early modern total war that gets it right just for the sheer spectacle of a properly working tercio.

My favorite loss was one of my pike and shot blocks chasing a routing enemy unit and ending up back to back with an enemy unit which was able to turn around and charge them in the rear.

If I was generous I would say that they explode as visual feedback to the player for 'I got a kill'. But it is Battlefield.

It's not like BF1942 was an ultra realism milsperg portrayal of WWII. I hope it succeeds if only to encourage vidcon developers to do something other than Omaha Beach for the thousandth time.

Assault rifle, sniper, lmg just isn't doing it. One thing that's real nice is it looks like a variety of areas rather than gently caress it, Passchendaele, Passchendaele on less wet land, Passchendaele around a fort, Battlefield 1: No the server isn't stuck on the Isonzo map. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 03:09 on May 7, 2016 |

It's dumb enough I need to do stupid crap like "Kill 400 people to get 1 of 8" but at least let me keep my unlocks when its literally the same gun.

HEY GAL posted:there's actually a specific move that allows an infantryman to turn around and do that in a single motion and when well done it looks super snazzy do you mean in game or as pike drill? if so, was it done en masse by an entire block or was it a thing the ones at the end of the block would do to respond to a sudden threat?

I'm not sure how people in this thread can really be down on a AAA title set in WW1 of all places. It's like the best thing that could happen for seeing more WW1 games come out. It draws attention to the era, I mean look at the loving decade of WW2 games we got in the MoH/CoD/BF1942 days. Also it looks like a shitload of dumb fun, which is all you can ask for in a shooter nowadays. You have ARMA/Squad/PR for the realism stuff. And lets be honest, realism in a WW1 game is not something you're gonna rally a successful player base around. You pick up like 5000 grognards for a couple months and that's it. Grand scale FPS games don't work when its 8v8. Mazz fucked around with this message at 05:50 on May 7, 2016 |

Look, if you want realism you do fancy stuff like using you Colt 1911 to shoot down other biplanes... or use your flare gun and set them on fire. Endman, restart your LP so we can have more WW1 shenanigans!FAUXTON posted:Man he is the best character. You know it! :human being:
