That "gameplay" video gave us next to nothing for gameplay. It looks and sound great, but I got fucking nothing out of that outside of zero UI elements and dude in armor wandering around uninhabited settlements.
According to the comments on YT, most of that footage is actually recycled from trailers from a couple years ago too.
Yup. Looks good, but it looked good quite a while ago.
Yep, this game has been on my wishlist for a while.
We just do not get games with melee combat that actually has weight with ACCURATE hit detection and hit reactions.
Alongside ILL this is one of my anticipated games.
Jedi Knight games used to be quite fatal with how lightsabers would interact with npc bodies. You could bifurcate mobs simply by angling into them.
You're right, I forgot about those -- you did have to re-enable the dismemberment via the console in Jedi Academy, but man was that awesome slicing and dicing through them. And yeah, it was cool that you could just walk into things and burn them with the lightsaber.
Newer Star Wars games have turned lightsabers into glorified baseball bats. And dismemberment is no longer allowed due to a Disney mandate about no longer being able to dismember humanoid characters in Star Wars video games using lightsabers.
ILL?
Yep.... this beautiful piece of art here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkkc-kQTuNM
Replace the zombies with goat fuckers and nigs and I am sold.
at this day and age? no publisher would dare
you're better off playing mount and blade warband Crusader mods like In the Name of Jerusalem or Crusade vs Jihad (the older the version, the better)
Into the trash it goes
really? that's your problem? the POV???
Yes.
the camera over the shoulder is meant to look good in trailers and for watchers, but it limits visibility for the player to one side of the character's body. it arbitrarily makes the game ass to play, and is an indicator of a game that's marketed to be sold instead of marketed to be played.
Playing the original tomb raider games really makes me miss zoomed back camera with the character in the middle
People have balkanized into some very specific purity enclaves by this point.
You can't sneak in plate mail...
I'm curious, has anyone ever actually tried sneaking in plate? Recently saw a video how mobile and flexible plate armor was. Makes me wonder if you could pull it off.
Have you ever put pots and pans away in your entire life? Zero chance you can sneak in plate mail.
I love how you're 100% confident in what it's like to do a combination of two things that you have no experience in whatsoever.
Plate mail is secured to your body by leather straps and cloth bindings. The whole point of platemail was to create armor that is molded fairly well to your body, and would turn blows.
You could run in platemail once it was fitted; it actually weighed less, and had fewer loose parts, then a modern soldier's gear.
Yes, the armored boot may make trying to be quiet more like sneaking in steel shoes, but it's certainly not going to be rattling around like pots and pans shifting.
It may be more tightly fitted than some shitty standard-issue Army helmet but it's not that tightly fitted, and it has plenty of overlapping metal parts. Even perfect armor will have movements that cause steel collision, which is going to be a hell of a lot louder than grunt kits are loose.
Metatron did a video about it, and you can be surprisingly quiet in plate - just keep your arms still so all the joints don't rattle against each other.
I’ve seen HEMA guys sprint and do cartwheels in full plate so IDK, if you can keep the loose parts from clanking together it might work.
How would a zombie even have a chance against plate armor?
Acid puke.
This doesnt look that good. There are other more promising gritty games out there. Like Vernyhorn.
