Just curious if anyone has a good guess. Based on the game mechanics and design can anyone see a city map actually happening? What would become of the predkour trees? Can the predator hide and blend as easily? Maybe FT should switch to local police/swat team with one owlf in the likes of P Keyes team less sophisticated/knowledgeable.
Is a city map possible?
Totally possible
I don’t think predkour would be necessary
Rooftops of buildings, billboards, scaffolding, fire truck ladders, cranes etc would be how Predator gets height advantage on FT

Would it be too much code or animation wise for him to climb certain buildings slowly? Like in Predator 2 hes seen climbing the Eastern building in LA. Its Unreal Engine I assume but cant even begin to understand just yet how it works.
They could do that but I don’t see the point

Totally possible. Gonna take a while…

Hey man, are you PCDS?
With the new cloak blending in should not be a problem, its the predkour that might turn out funny. Also, city would mean buildings and a lot of closed space - we all know how good pred is in tight closed space XDDDDD

A destroyed city perhaps? Rotting wooden beams exposed by fire could act like branches?, or vines growing on the walls of decayed structures enabling mr pred to climb like in predator 2.

Crysis 3 style! I’m for that! It would suit predkour more than just a normal city
Won’t it be a bit similar to Spider-Man? The Predator leap is already a bit much.
City map would be possible if you ask me lmao
But what would the objective be? Will the enemies be police cops or what?
Tbh a city map’s extremely challenging. I can’t see how they’d provide enough cover for pred without the map looking like a bunch of props scattered randomly. The current Leap isn’t vertical enough to support jumping around in tighter spaces compared to open jungle.
They could do a map thats like a destroyed post-apocalyptic smokey street and a alley maybe if they code parkour street lamps or something, but predkour mounting skyscapers and all that…can’t really see it. Windows would still be super annoying to jump through, buildings have always been 100% to the FTs advantage. Even if they gave us a bunch of new predkour assets and stuff the map would be a balancing nightmare if its not as open as the compounds are now because pred struggles to move around in restricted areas with tight corners. Just running around the big lab sucks atm, much less an indoor map.
Predkour and closed spaces present a problem. Trees are easy to set up because you can put them everywhere and the map still looks fine & the on rails movement works fine. Predators 3rd person view indoors sucks right now too. They would have to rework a lot otherwise “city map” is more likely to be 2 streets with some destroyed cars. Basically the no-fun swamp area in Backwater thats a just low cover arena and no trees.
It could only serve a purpose if it were conditionally tied to a narrative. like in pred 2 there was a narrative.
I mean you cant ask a game designer to willy nilly buy a stock city map, and do stuff with it. Ppl will be let down.
This is the only way I could see a city map working in this game
Please anything but this. I want a live night city not crysis 3
Not necessarily
If it was a pristine city absolutely
However they will likely make it an urban warzone so things that would normally be a death trap (inside buildings) wouldn’t be because there would be holes on the walls and ceilings to allow for predator to move freely. Not to mention windows
The enemies would be gang members
There is a building with plenty of holes in it already (medlab with skylight) and its a death trap because leaping makes you hit the ceiling since there’s no vertical jump. Pred leap strictly travels in a arc so leaping means you bump into something and get yourself killed more likely than not.
Predator could just as easily drop to a lower level.
There are work arounds for literally everything
Let’s not put false limitations on it
As for the skylight building that already exists
Predator can shoot inside it
If Predator can move FT out of the way because he’s much larger being blocked inside won’t be a problem anymore
Not if he’s bodyblocked.
This is the same game where people are like “lol git gud dont go in buildings as predator or you deserve to die” but at the same time want maps with large enclosed spaces and doorways.
