So far I’m absolutely loving the game and having a ridiculous amount of fun playing it. Everything from the gameplay to the customization is just plain awesome. The only thing that kind of bummed me out though is when I found out predator has all these AMAZING executions that could be seen by a fire team member who was being long claimed, while the predator player could only view sthe standard three stab finisher. They are so brutal and are so well done, they capture the brutality and ferocity of the predator perfectly, so it’s a bit disappointment to see that the predator player cannot see any of them. I had no idea they were in the game until very recently when I was long claimed for the first time. I think making it so the predator player can perform these executions, will definitely make long claims feel so much more rewarding and would make the player feel very powerful. Games like Dead by Daylight and Last Year have similar systems and I think it would be incredible if the Predator could perform these. I know this probably isn’t high on the list of priorities but it would make a long time predator fan very happy if this was ever implemented 😁
Would anyone else like to see the cinematic executions Predator does to you while playing as fire team, while you’re playing predator as well?
If you see the cutscenes kills you are going to het shot in the back without even knowing what hit you
One way to fix it is to take away the black background so the predator can use the camera to look around and be able to cancel with a 6 second slot before being lock in to finish the animation
I think he means that the same animation should play ingame for the predator player to see. Not the cinematic thing. I’m not totally sure if they all are the same length though.
so the predator (and any living FT players) sees a generic long claim kill animation in game.
The FT player sees an animation that can last longer than the generic animation for that cinematic experience…
Theres some difficulty in implementing this.
Firstly they can make the animation from the cutscene actually play in game - but as they are all different lengths it will be pot luck regarding how long your pred is out of action for…
They could let you select your long claim animations like Friday the 13th and let you choose I suppose. Maybe the longest long claims give more xp for style?
The quick and dirty option is that both predator and FT see the cutscene animation on screen while in game it does the generic long claim animation. Predator will be standing doing nothing though while the long claim cutscene finishes though…
Just make everyone see the same long claims and let the pred pick from equipped executions For Honor style. Animation length gives a heal or whatever, who cares no one long claims anyways and teams don’t split for a long claim
it might just seem like they are longer. in the cinematic animations you see the FT falling on the ground, then the predator walking towards him/her, then grabbing. In the actual game the animation would just start at the grabbing part. I think they aren’t thaaat long actually.
I do think cinematic executions need a rework to happen randomly in the actual match instead of cutting to a cutscene, the same slam guy several times in chest and rip out spine animation is getting, dull.
I would enjoy seeing these, but I think the only way to make it viable so the predator doesn’t get whacked while long claiming is to have it available only for the last surviving member of the fire team. That way, if you get caught, its only by the Ai troops that don’t hurt you as much. That way, you’d still get to see one scene per match, if you win. Or, the match pauses for that 10 seconds to show it, again only on the last surviving FT member.
I would like to but pred would be open to massive damage (likely death) during these animations
Long claims should be different and purchased through V. They could give us different execution options throughout the updates.
It would be cool but the problem is that you can still be shot to death while grabbing
Yea the could give us different short claims too. Or the option to carry a down body. Fireteam could still make noise from the voice wheel to help the others find him. Then be thrown on ground for a safe claim. Predator would have to have limited stamina and speed once in the carry mode.
I mean it’s probably a bad idea to Long Claim when you can be attacked by other FT as is. You probably should get shot at for doing it, lol. Being able to see what Pred is doing to the FT AS a Pred would be another bonus to playing careful and only Long Claiming when isolated or when it is the Last Man.
