Well it looks like the news today states that it has potential funding worth about as much as several large houses. But it seems if they play the cards right and manage it correctly that million dollar seed funding will likely (if built upon the same engine) works towards prolonging the franchise game title reputation and legacy. The news is speculative, not really hearing anything like they had secured it yet. It leads me to believe there is more work to be done to really prove it.
I really want them to expand on it without losing sight of the 15-20 minute game loop.
Otherwise I wouldn’t like to be stuck with an over funded RPG that has no lead actor/actress attached to it, nor is it an Alien Isolation clone.
I’m banking on the loop, customization of the character, and lore mining that the original game has.
I still play the original game and it still fundamentally needs comms for higher difficulty levels.
Much like this thread puts it:
https://forum.predator.illfonic.com/t/use-coms/6853/17
Coms are fundamentally needed to play at the highest difficulty in AFTE which PHG makes it clear its not using this method. Comms are actually quite toxic in PHG and I hope stepping away from this as a player will balance the game out. The random platforms crossplay is its’ trademark. the random platforms in lobby queues is actually the best part about PHG on top of random Predator classes. It is the coolest thing in the game! and random lobbies with 4 different platforms equally makes this game favorable to both the novice and pc hard core gamer.
That said maybe these key fundemental issues would be a point of discussion:
- Better Bot/Peer team control simultaneously ( I just heard Divison 2 had been getting this as an update- couldn’t hurt knocking on Ubisoft (massive entertainment) front door for some source code)
- Maybe adding some unique intel pickup management that unlocks special content and a transparent system for this as I see ALien Rogue Incursion is using this idea but really isnt transparent about what you need for its progression.
- i’m fairly ok with the current weapons upgrade and perk system thats what AFTE is famous for but maybe expanding on the UI would be more beneficial ( something that both PHG suffers from too, not being able to visually see what the gains are)
- I suspect the boredom from AFTE is playing the Elite, but maybe an Elite to save the Elite? A new class like Search and Rescue even would ulimately give more narrative to the cause of such a franchise.
- Needs more alien behavoirs and kenetic variation to both the fireteam and aliens to see different gameplay types or dynamics . we cant be always running and gunning in a large open space all the time.
@Samhain13 whats your thoughts on this? Maybe you want to make a commentary video on the news…maybe give your thoughts?
