>we need a futuristic gun >what should we call it >lets call it the Pulse Rifle
>future space gun>it's a magazine fed 30 round assault rifle with a rate of fire of roughly 700rpm and conventional recoil pattern
>>722563762>we need an infiltration unit>what kind of body should we use as a base>the most conspicuous one
>>722563762they should have called it the sneednfeed rifle
>>722563920that says 42 on the side
>>722563762Cause we're always super creative about guns now. If it's a german sci-fi gun we could call it the Raum Gewehr.
>OP made a shitty thread>what should we call him>lets call him Faggot
>>722563762>there was a time where futuristic designs were trying to incorporate two guns into one while not looking like some half baked garbage pulled out of a scrap heapI miss those days
>>722563950Needed all that space to stuff in the mechanics.
>>722563920>laser rifle>it has recoil
>>722566705the moisture in the air in front of the barrel superheats and evaporates instantly, creating a small steam explosion
>>722563920I mean there really isn't that much more you can do with ballistic weaponry.Weird, high capacity mags have been a failure. Bullpups are a failure. Caseless ammo is a meme.
>>722566705They're not actually sophisticated laser weapons but icky plas*a guns, you're just shooting superheated goop at people and not pvre light.
>>722566705Light does have momentum, mass x acceleration isn't the whole picture. That'd be a silly amount of energy being fired off though to be able to cause that though.
>>722566908Every single attempt to innovate beyond the usual hammer slaps casing so it explodes sending bullet forward just ends up same as reinventing the wheel.
Every single plasma weapon ever made in a game sucks balls.
>>722563762>sci-fi setting with lasers and shiet>the best weapon is a good ol AR-15
>>722566705they're undeniably cool but for shooting fleshy targets to render them a non-threat a conventional projectile just seems better. i'm a dumb retard but lasers seem like they'd be fancy riot control weapons applying burns to targets than anything else.railgun type weapons are cooler anyway, and follow the time-tested tradition of "hurl shit at your target really fast"
>>722563920AR-15 in modern configuration is literally the peak of ballistic small arms, cant go further anymore. Only completely new sci-fi tech like railguns or lasers could shake things up
>>722567197
Remember when every (near) future shooter game just had the XM8 in it? I remember.
>>722563762>we need a weapon to surpass guns>what should we call it>the katana
>>722563762>we need a futuristic gun>give it a lenghty name
>far future>sniper rifle uses old anti material ammo>battle rifle uses old sniper ammo>assault rifle uses old battle rifle ammo>sub machine gun uses old assault rifle ammo>side arm uses and old magnum round>shotgun is 8 guageyep it's sci-fi time
>>722563762>we need a futuristic currency>what should we call it>lets call it credits
>>722567563For me it's Halo 4 and that break action shotgun that shoots some weird hard light shit. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>722567049Solar sails, baby!
>>722567197Idk the plasma autorifle in timesplitters is pretty baller and it has a grenade launcher too.
>>722567197Sounds like bitch talk to me.
>>722567647"Credits" currency and "universal" language are probably the laziest sci-fi tropes in the observable universe.
>>722567197Wrong.
>>722567197>Firewarrior plasma rifle two shotting most enemies with the ability to pass through multiple targets when charged>Turbo Plasmas melting dudes in real time in Fallout 2>Doom 3 having one of the best reloads for an energy weapon to date despite being a relatively mediocre rendition on the design
>"laser" weapon>projectiles fly slower and do less damage than bullets
>>722567654>it's Halo 4 and that break action shotgun that shoots some weird hard light shit. What the fuck were they thinking?Fallout NV must've been smoking the same shit when they came up with the Holorifle that shoots balls of solid hard light out of a converted China Lake mixed with a duct taped projector. Chewing through entire fusion cells just to blow away some fuckers with weaponized false light.
>>722563762Sounds like someone pulsed in you're mom and got you mad lol
>>722568924I mean, Holorifle is a one of a kind project of a talented Brotherhood of Steel Elder who stumbled upon hard light tech and decided to weaponize it in the most direct way possible.
>>722567798>average Treasure Planet enjoyer
>>722567295for me, it's sonic weapons
>>722563950Wasn't steroids and beefcakes a thing back then?
>>722567295>>722569145>railguns>mass drivers>macron sneeze guns>strapping warp drives to asteroids with a suicidal pilot at the helm>old timey cannonballs that melt down the heaviest materials into a solid billiard before flinging them at a target via gravity>hopped up LRADs that use Radical Larry styled vibrations to rattle the targets in real time
>>722567098When are these making a comeback? I miss the good old days..
>>722563762the nailed the sound though
>>722563762Yup.
>>722569514>jewboy locking his 1+ hour autism rants behind a scaling paywallLol Lmao evenWonder if Gamespot is kicking themselves now for removing the one thing that people bothered to show up for. Their views went straight down the shitter when those two made the jump.
>>722563762>caseless rounds>not a single dud
>AvP is dead>even the 2010 game was fun
>we need an actually futuristic gun
>>722563950It wasn't supposed to be Ahnold originally, but Lance Henriksen. Studio insisted on someone with at least a little bit of fame.
>>722567098We should try the hammer slaps something inside so hard it creates a miniature sonic boom that gets sent via the barrel at specific direction so we can get rid of ammo.
>>722563762>ingame weapon is a cool scifi transformer multigun>cover art uses some generic m16 knockoffTenka remaster when? Hard Reset doesn't count
>>722569845Someone with better acting chops? Someone with more meat as an actor?
>>722569931The audio from this game has been living rentfree despite only playing the demo. The concept of a gun that alternates between multiple firing modes is rad.
