My FEW suggestions are mainly aimed towards console. The game looks much smoother on my PC, for obvious reasons. But here’s some ideas I came across while playing:
-
Predator needs the ability to fire his shoulder cannon mid air. (Falling from tree, jumping between trees, etc. this will make him far more versatile and would encourage Predator players to harass more and play aggressive. I have never felt in danger when Predator would come around, cuz we melt him anyways.
-
Predator needs the slam ability for when you dismount a branch, and drop straight down. Cuz I mean you’re high enough, so why not? But if it’s too OP then I understand. It would probably change the meta a little bit.
-
Foliage, fireteam gameplay movements, and gun play need a little touching up. From the Fireteam perspective, everything in the jungle looks fuzzy. The leaves don’t really look right… BUT from predator’s perspective everything looks much cleaner, which is weird, but I guess it looks better since he’s in third person? lol I dunno 🤷♂️ … although when you get up close and in the trenches of a fight, the frame rate briefly drops real bad sometimes. Making it harder for you to follow the target. At times it seems like I’m looking at a giant blurry painting.
The marines gameplay movements are kinda choppy… but that probably goes along with the graphics/frame rates thingy. The game probably needs a stronger engine, or something (not really sure what helps the issue that I’m talking about, but yeah lol) cuz I can see great potential in this game if it looked like an actual jungle, instead of the Minecraft vibes I get from looking at the foliage. No offense to Minecraft.
But the movements of the fireteam feels burdened, slow, and choppy in a way (But not that bad when sprinting.) Like when I’m walking and looking up and down and around, it feels like I’m moving in a kinda off sluggish sort of way. Hard for me to explain in text, but yeah I’m not sure how else to say it haha. So maybe you guys could make it feel more fluid and smooth. Sorry for not being clear.
- Predator players need the ability where you can climb up trees at your own speed… meaning you have to manually push the analog to climb all the way up to the tree branches.
This will give you the option of scaling halfway up the tree trunk (or however far you want until forced onto a branch), where you can just stay put and hold onto it. You could keep the same climbing animation, but you might need to change it a little, if the player chooses to climb slower.
So this will give you a few choices of gadgets you can use, or actions you can perform… like certain one handed gadgets or the shoulder cannon. Also from that position, you would get the option to look around and leap from there if you wanted to. Maybe even jump up to a branch if you’re high enough up the trunk.
- Allow Fireteam to have a mud meter so you know when you’re getting low, that way you can mud up again before all your mud falls off… because I’ve had Mud all over my screen, but the mud wasn’t working properly, when Predator would use his thermal vision.
We found this out by playing a private match. But if that idea is too OP, then I guess we could just leave it as is.
If I could only choose one thing I truly want fixed… it would be the graphics and frame rate stuff. If the game ran and looked smoothly, this would be the Predator game Master Piece of all time. Other than that, you guys did a great job with this one. 👍
