MRVN's ability being the grappling hook then. Gonna set lots of bots in this then I guess unless something comes up better than the movement offered by the hook.

This is the thing that makes me wonder how dipshit studio execs get their jobs. Game production literally cannot exist anymore in a timetable where you can make the next Minecraft or Fortnite without making a completely different game. Nothing ever unseated Minecraft. PUBG took DayZ to its logical conclusion, Fortnite did something almost completely different in the same genre and also made it F2P, bright and colorful, and extremely accessible to children. There will never be a BR game to compete with Fortnite, it is a forgone conclusion.

But that will never ever stop a clueless executive from going "Battle Royales are the new hotness, time to cash in." Just ask Cliffy B's idiot face.

To be fair, CliffyB did try to do his own thing (revive the old school arena shooter) and it put his company out of business. The BR thing was a Hail Mary to try to bring in some revenue to keep the doors open.

Yeah because every game you don't like personally is going to fail :rolleyes: . Just like everyone calling this game a failure before they even knew if it was real or just a rumor.

I'm hoping it's playable today.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I think Anthem will fail. I also don't like playing it. The two are distinct positions. I liked LawBreakers a lot but also thought it would fail. It did.

I was pretty lukewarm to decently interested in Lawbreakers but it had the most aggressively stupid advertising campaign and onboarding experience of any recent game release. "ARE YOU HARDCORE ENOUGH FOR THIS?!??!" screams the marketing, and then throw players into the deep end against vets who've been around since the alpha and are utterly whipping their rear end. So of course the answer for the vast majority of people is "no thank you"

Blackout is really cool and good and actually is a better performing game than pubg too. But it does have the weight of the entire cod franchise behind it basically which helps.

This will have to do a lot more interesting stuff to compete in a world where blackout, pubg and fortnite all exist.

I think it also had a pretty tough time because it was a very fast game (for most characters) with an emphasis on movement techniques and abilities. Those sorts of games don't tend to do so well in todays world of slow shooters like PUBG and Call of Duty.

MRVN is definitely there, the weapons are recognizable, but the character design (haven't seen any of it confirmed) looks a bit more cartoonish; which would be expected from a F2P game.

The medic looks the silliest, but some of the other models from the stream look like colorful grunts from TF.

Yeah it's funny because as someone who has played FPS games since Wolf3d I absolutely love games with movement techniques and that was one of the strongest things about Lawbreakers. Unfortunately when you were outside the zero-g areas it looked like a bad team shooter knockoff.

And Battlefield's upcoming Firestorm in March! EA has done it again and released a Titanfall against a Battlefield, cannibalizing their own playerbase.
