blackdog Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 I just discovered this because the author was on the latest episode of the Quakecast. The project was in fact started on Quake (Darkplaces fork) but after hitting some snags it was posted to UE4. They are doing the same thing of Graven in building the maps in Trenchbroom and importing in UE. Fascinating that the creator is a musician by trade. The teaser and two gameplay tests are the footage that exists for the project at the moment Minos, Evert and Corvus 3 Quote
Minos Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Hell yeah, love the Ghost in the Shell vibe Quote
blackdog Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Posted March 8, 2021 Good spotting, he refers to Ghost as one of the main inspirations Quote
FMPONE Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Looks repetitive. The weird 2d/3d mix-up artstyle isn't really working for me, either. The song in the first trailer was good though, old skool cool Quote

I can only imagine it to refer to doom/build-style use of sprites in place of models, and I can't say I spotted any such thing in the videos probably not an articulate description on my part. Just not a fan of the art direction, it seems mish-mashy in a bad way Quote

It does look repetitive, but from the podcast I understand it’s just a tech demo atm. Also I think all/most assets are from the Quake version… surely they want to retain the blocky and grainy look but slowly take more advantage of UE4 strengths(?). I quite like the flow, if they can make it like a shooty Mirror’s Edge could be interesting. If it just focuses on rocket jump (the creator was a rocket jumping “personality”?) then I wouldn’t be interested. Atm reminds me vaguely of Crackdown but in FPS form, when I played that game I played similarly to this, jumping over buildings and using the stomp on landing was a blast in that game. Quote

dux Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Watched all 3 trailers and I like that they took the quake 2 shotgun and made it a grenade launcher and included the quake 1 grenade bounce sound. But the rest of it sent me to sleep Buddy 1 Quote
