Outriders (Bulletstorm developer)

Like how the games has slow motion interupt animations weather the NPC feels it or not. Crossplay will give the game longitivity if its good.

Outriders delayed until April 1st...demo coming in February

The studio said the extra time will be spent "fine tuning the game and focusing on delivering a fantastic play experience at launch," which may or may not be a gentle jab at a certain recent game that was decidedly not in fantastic condition at launch

free demo coming on February 25th that will include all four character classes and support both single and multiplayer action...your character and any progress made in the demo will carry over to the full game when it goes live...

Damn I didn't think they would just delay it two months from Dec. to Feb. now April

Read they have 200 people working on the game with the current drought of games in 2020 2021 hoping for the best. Looks like the took Gears of War but they made it good.

Everything else they've done have been, IMO, really good. PCF is one of the few developers who's games I'd buy on launch before reviews.
 
this looks like a proper PC game built from the ground up for PC...the gameplay is still up in the air but damn the game looks gorgeous on PC...I'm glad to see 16GB RAM being the standard for new AAA titles...
 
Sleeping under a rock I suppose. Demo coming out in around 2 weeks or so. Little fan fare here on Hardforum. Strange, this game looks great and really hope when it comes out we don't have another CyberPunk issue on our hands.

Eagerly awaiting....
 
Safe to say this is a more polished type of game like Remnant from the Ashes?
 
That's the problem, that it looks like a mix and match of various other games, Anthem, Destiny, Fortnite. The reveal trailer suggested some gritty dark stuff, instead it is as colorful as a children's picture book. With flashy armors that look shiny and brand new off the produtcion line with RGB lighting and ASUS Aura, LOL.

Yes, this doesn't look anything like the first gameplay demos that were released last year. I was actually starting to get interested in it until this latest demo came out. Now it really does look like they're just ripping off everything else. Looks a lot like Anthem without the flying to me.

I want to be excited but nothing jumps out to me in the I want this category. Still slow action wise (for me) and on the surface just another bullet sponge game. I guess it may look slow due to the 3rd party view, which I personally don't like.

Probably because it looks like an even more generic live service shooter than Destiny....the fact that Square completely botched the Avengers game doesn't help either.

the publisher doesn't matter as much as the developer...People Can Fly is pretty solid...Crystal Dynamics also had a lot of good will built prior to that Avengers game due to the Tomb Raider series but I still think they are an excellent developer

People Can Fly is definitely not trying to invent something new with Outriders but if they make a good Destiny 2 clone then that's all that matters...plus I like how PC seems to have been the lead platform during development

The publisher controls the purse strings, they absolutely do matter in terms of rushing out half baked turds to market or dictating game design (e.g. monetisation and scummy microtransactions).

Also I don't know why anyone would put People Can Fly on a pedestal, their most notable game (I am talking about Bullet Storm) was pretty dull story wise and didn't make very good use of the whip mechanic which got old half way through the game. As for their work on the GoW games, all those games were derivative cover shooters with terrible stories even if they did perform well in terms of sale numbers.

no one was playing bullet storm for the story bro :O

But yes I also wouldnt put them on a pedestal either.. But lucky there is a demo soon so everyone can play it and decide themselves and not rely on reviews.
 
I'll try it but I am not really feeling what I'm seeing. I always hail anyone that puts out a free demo. Good for them. I like Bulletstorm, too.

Doing better than Anthem sure as hell isn't shooting for much. I am not sure how many of these types of games we really need. Destiny is Destiny. I'm not expecting much from this to be honest.
 
Where can you download the demo? What platform is this game on even?
 
Reading you need a Square Enix account it's going to be about 3-4 hours before it's downloaded for me.
You might not be able to log into the Square Enix servers I might not even attempt to play the thing because you won't be able to.

What a joke. When will they learn that always online is bad? "Could not connect to outriders servers"
 
I stopped my download after reading all the complaints.

LOL I'm the bad person for expecting it to run.

If you require an online connection to even start the damn game you make sure you have servers up and running by the time the demo is publicly available. I thought that should go without saying. What did they prepare for a few hundred players?
 
Watched some play on Twitch. I'll dl when I get home, definitely want to try it.

You're acting like you just crawled out from under a rock. Its 2021, this is how games launch now. What is at all surprising?

Are you a developer with a massive background on worldwide game infrastructure and everything that goes into running something like this?
