Bleeding Edge E3 Off-screen gameplay
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
You are telling me that Ana looks like Widow looks like Tracer looks like Brig looks like D.va looks like moira?
Sure Ash looked like Widow, other than that they all look totally different, and they stated that they start design with one particular face structure and work on them from there.
Sorry, just saw this. Yes, every character has a faster-walk mode, enabled by holding down right on the d-pad for roughly one full second. You start each match in this mode so that you can more quickly zip towards any of the map's live control points. (It's a control-point game for now, unsure if other modes will eventually launch, with different zones "live" at any given time.)
This seems like the kind of game that you need to play in a home setting and playing it at e3 would be the absolute worst, I'd imagine impressions will be bleh.
I dunno, the only character I want to play as so far is the samurai dude. I was imagining this game like DmC online but it looks slower and weirder with all the gun stuff and the slow ass big wheel lady. I'll still participate in the alpha if they choose me though.
This looks good, but seriously this gameplay and Gears 5 gameplay highlights the major issue I had with MS's press conference, hardly any gameplay for their games. This would have been sweet to we during the show.
Ah, so there are ways to specialize your character? This is sounding more and more like Gigantic as time goes on.
Now I'm really hoping I get into the Alpha. I need to feel this game firsthand.
Gifs incoming. Ripped from the stream so not the best quality. But awell
This looks sick af. Getting Raiders of the Broken Planet/Spacelords vibes, great game that was massively overlooked. Hope the same fate doesn't fall to this.

Talked to a couple of the Bleeding Edge devs at Fanfest and got some details you guys might like.
-They only had 10-20 people on the project for most of development. That number jumped to 30 as they got closer to launching the Alpha. He said they have a ton of other projects in the works.
-Launching with ten characters across three classes. He was pretty cagey on support, but said they were open to adding characters and maps after launch, but for now they're focused on balancing and getting the ten characters perfect.
-No word on release date other than they're going to focus on the alpha and how feedback goes will dictate full release. I compared it to the early alpha stuff with Sea of Thieves and he said exactly.
-They wouldn't comment on cosmetics, but they gave us a "fast pass" alpha access and the card mentions the code includes an exclusive hoverboard. Every character has a hoverboard, but they vary a bit from character to character based on design. I'm not sure how the board cosmetics will work, but I think it's safe to assume there'll be cosmetics.
-The game is not based on Project Razer, but is instead based on prototyping they did after doing DmC, imaging what a multiplayer version of that game might be.
-Like DMC, you can knock enemies into the air and attack them in air as part of combos, but they toned it down a ton, because during development, it was really frustrating when you were getting battered in the air for thirty seconds.
-There's a ton of combos in the game and each character has two choices of ultimates, committing to one at the beginning of the match.
- I asked what games on the market they thought would be competitors. They said Overwatch, obviously. They also said they weirdly thought it might attract MOBA fans. It's got a ton more action, obviously, but the way the abilities regenerate and the emphasis on tactics (I'll touch more on this later.) might sway people who are getting a bit tired with traditional MOBAs.
I got to play a tutorial of the game and extended demo and it greatly exceeded my expectations. I thought it was a really nice mix of precision and arcade while looking really nice and committing to the style.
It is very heavy on strategy. The maps are designed with lanes like a MOBA and the abilities regenerate on a timer. The characters are pretty different. I played the same character the whole time to really do a bit of a deep dive. For example, most characters dodge with RT, but my character changed stances with RT. He had two stances, one focused on speed that made him faster and one focused on healing that regenerated health faster. One of my abilities was also dependent on which stance I was in. We got wiped at one point and the developer on our team basically told us to wait for everyone to respawn, because it would be impossible to go 1 vs. 4. It's absolutely a team game. "

Multiplayer only game has to be really special to stand a chance, I'm not seeing it here.
Not sure arena melee is a genre that has any good chance of succeeding no matter the quality of execution.
How well is For Honor doing btw, I expect not to well compared to other multiplayer genres out there.

If they do the Sea of Thieves way, this could take a while. I'm guessing 2020.
Where is the Miko game play. =(
Game is looking like a lot of fun and I ca'nt wait for the technical test later.

While I really want to play this game, I feel that just ten characters is an unfortunately small roster to have at launch. Gigantic had 15 characters through their long beta period, and even launched with 16 characters. Even Anarchy Reigns had 16 at launch(or 18 if you count Gargoyle and Bayonetta), and that was a Platinum game.
I will say that it's admirable that they want to keep the roster small at first, so that they can balance the roster out. That's more than what Anarchy Reigns did with balance.
The wording of that could mean that the alpha is launching with 10 characters, but still; I strongly feel this game needs 14-16 characters at launch, and pad more out as you go. At least there are two more coming, via the website's character select.
This.
And I really hope this can fill the hole in my life left by gigantic :(
They had me at melee Overwatch.
This is everything I've ever wanted out of a "hero shooter" lol.

Signed up for the Beta, no harm in trying it out to see if I like it. Looks good visually., gameplay have to see.
Definitely getting some Sunset Overdrive vibes from this game, which is a good thing in my book. Can't wait to check out the alpha!
