Outriders (People Can Fly, Square Enix) Gameplay - Official Reveal Trailer (also coming for PS5 and XSX)
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Imagine all of those games being online looters. Everyone would lose their shit.
Starting the trailer I was ready to hate on how this looks exactly like every other game out there and that this would be indicative of next gen. But the magic and monsters in new settings could be cool I guess.
I'm too old for co-op shlooters though, so I can probably safely remove myself from the hype.

i cant even tell if this games gonna have a traditional sp campaign with a coop option or some gaas-y bullshit like destiny. in any case, id expect something more original from people can fly
After everything they showed today, co-op, weapon stats, world tiers, customization, and so on, it's definitely a GAAS. Even GameInformer calls it a looter shooter.
Also, here's the deluxe edition content according to the Steam page:
- The Hell's Rangers Male and Female Gear Sets.
- The Hell's Rangers Arsenal of 11 unique Guns.
- The Hell's Rangers Truck Mods and Decals.
The kind of post launch support the game gets is what will determine whether or not it's a GAAS. None of what you have mentioned is exclusive to GAAS.
Those gameplay scenes bored me to death. Trailer did not much for me either, guess we'll have to wait for more info. So far I'm not really interested.
Ooof. I liked the reveal trailer but this footage does not look good.
I meant more in terms of structure than gameplay. I would prefer it be a linear FPS with proper pacing and structure and no RNG rather than following the Destiny template.
I think I hate everything about the art style in this game. It's just so brown & grey & ugly. It looks like something that came out in the few years after Gears of War became a huge success, like Quantum Theory or Dark Sector.
I actually think Bulletstorm has quite a nice art style. It's colourful and all of the characters have a slight cartoonish style to them. Has a lot of visual variety across its campaign too.
Every snippet of game-play in these 53 seconds shows otherwise, there are multiple tiers (I see World tier 3 in the clip), weapon stats are very Destiny like, has two abilities tied to L1 and R1 respectively with L1+ R1 pulling off an ultimate, I'd be more than happy if its not a GaaS themed game but most of the talk around it seem to point to otherwise...

Honestly, I agree with you in that I'm skeptical - my comments on it 'not' being GaaS was based on two people in this thread, one of them a SE rep, that have said it's not.
I don't know if it's one of those 'technically' not a GaaS products via some clause or other, but like I said, even if it's not a full-fledged GaaS, from what little evidence we do have, it's likely to have some GaaS elements vis-a-vis the world tiers signifying repeatable missions/levels and grinding out for better gear/experience and levels.
calm down y'all.

I asked a few people how they define a looter shooter and each gave me a different answer. “A game about amassing loot”, “A power-up/levelling grind”, “a shooter with RPG elements”. ...

the director of the game is a big Destiny's gunplay fan, not from Destiny's game design. and from a technical standpoint, Destiny is one of the best shooters ever made.
font size in the UI is unreadable beyond 2 feet from the screen, hopefully this will be addressed before launch, general rule of thumb is that you should have minimum 24pt font that scales to 32 pt max in accessibility options.
other than that game looks pretty generic, hopefully some people enjoy it

Yeah it reminds me of Fracture, an early 360 game. A bad early 360 game.
People keep saying it looks like Anthem, I don't really see it other than the "somewhat generic sci-fi" vibe. Also, they are leaning really heavily into pre-rendered footage which makes me think the gameplay they are going to show might not be pretty. TBD! And wow does that weapon GUI look like Destiny!
This was my immediate reaction too "this is a gameplay trailer?". At no point do you simply see actual gameplay.
Visually the game looks kinda interesting - certainly not bad or anything - but I still don't really understand what it is. And nothing in this trailer is striking enough on it's own to make me buy-in without knowing anything else.
Man, these are a LOT of mini trailers and footage to not show any actual gameplay. I'm guessing GI has an exclusive premier for that?
EDIT: Spoke too soon lol.

Doesn't even really look like Gears. Gears has a more chunky, industrial aesthetic. The world in this game almost looks kinda fantasy-ish.
It looks forgettable. Like Haze and Fracture type of forgettable. Still gonna do really well though since launch window and all.
Cover shooter + abilities, tbh I'm into this. It looks a lot like Fuse from last gen which I actually really liked.
Do you create your own character?

okay, this doesnt seem like my kind of game.
yes there is a character creator
That looks rough.
Kind of expected something that looks more fun from a developer like People Can Fly.
The shooting, cover system, art direction, and animations all look boring. This is why CGI trailers don't do anything for me anymore, those trailers looked really cool and now that we're seeing gameplay, it looks like a different game entirely.

Hard to latch on to anything in the world from that trailer. The wide shots of landscapes were cool. Also the guy with three faces.
Would have been a better trailer without that song. RUBBERDUCKA RUBBERDUCKA YEAHH.

That's what I was thinking. This game literally has nothing remarkable going for it aesthetically.
This game looks like they took the worst trends of the 7th and the 8th gen and melded them into one game.
Brown, brown everywhere
Over the shoulder third person shooter
Gritty grungy science fiction designs
Looter shooter multiplayer nonsense
Shallow RPG mechanics used as a poor mortar
How long has this game been in development?
