The beta/early access opens today! (22/01/15)

 

Bringing back the old style of arena shooter, which I've been waiting for, for months! I know there are others like Reflex, UT4 at some point and good ol' quake, but this just tickled my fancy.

 

It's strictly NOT F2P, so you will have to purchase it and not worry about any transactions. They seem to be trying to establish some sort of integrated clan system as well which should support tournaments and such.

 

I also made a post on them looking to fill some job vacancies near Hamburg a while back, but that's neither here nor there...

 

RUN VT!

Still waiting for it

looks like halo

Looks pretty decent, but from the look of it it suffers from the same problems like so many other "old school current gen" shooters: realistic art style and vegetation and uneven terrain making it look unpredictable and busy. I hope that the vegetation is clipped to prevent people from camping inside it

[gotcha]

Just bought it and it feels like something in between Quake and Unreal Tournament.

There is only one map and 2 gamemodes at the moment, but I can see the potencial.

Considering they promise "no bullshit", the names of the weapons are pretty superfluous.

 

I find it all a bit too... I'm not sure exactly what word I could use, but literally everything glows. There are fucking lights everywhere. Pretty sure my character model as a light on his groin:

 

* Danger Danger / High Voltage *

 

Couple of more serious comments though:

 

The cerberus is just leagues beyond any other weapon, everything pales in comparison, and the movement feels jerky. The running speed is quite slow and then you suddenly blast in a direction and are back to slow movement. It bugs me!

 

There also seems to be some sort of wall jump ability that I've not seen explained anywhere but have managed to pick up.

 

I do think it shows real potential, but I worry that the future release of UT4 will just completely roll over it
