/v/ brags about how they possess this otherworldly pattern recognition — so they don’t need to play games to know they’ll hate Highguard.And yet, hilariously, many can STILL not seem to recognize:>They're Former Apex devs.>Apex SURPRISE launched almost 7 years ago to the date!>Same general formula. Save for a single exception — an announcement trailer.It’s not rocket science, folks.Highguard will be the next BIG THING!
If the game is so awesome and unique they should put out an gameplay demonstration with a dev explaining what makes Highguard different and not just another cookie cutter hero shooter. If the trailer makes people jump to the wrong conclusions its a bad trailer
>>731099303devs known for making shitty call of duty clones makes more trend chasing slop wow you completely changed my opinion just kidding
MP shooting slop is as bad as MMOs these days
CONCORDTWO
least obvious shill bot
>>731099431The mounts make me think of Paladins, but not as charming.
>ironic fake marketing for bait repliesI gotta say it's genuinely impressive how this title was murdered in its crib.Whoever labeled it as Concord 2 really nailed it.It takes skill to kill an entire dev team's soul like that.
>>731099303Preach it xister!!
Highguard vs Fairgame$, what you got /v/?
The character designs are very boring and not cool looking.
>>731099962Didn't Fairgames got cancelled already?
>>731100392no, not yet, they did rebrand the game and dropped the $
>They're Former Apex devs.I don't see how that is supposed to make the game look good.
>>731099303seriously though, how did this progress to release? they themselves participated in killing overwatch clones with the BR genre. this project should never have been greenlit, and after a string of these late-to-copy-overwatch failures they should have canceled it instead of going through this humiliation ritual.
>>731099303
>>731100392Not to my knowledge. They had a closed pre-alpha and got a lot of negative feedback, and the director and studio founder left the company shortly thereafter, but there hasn't been anything about it being cancelled yet. Though if Highguard craters, Sony might decide to pull a Hyenas and scrap the project rather than send a new title out to die in a hostile market.
obvious bait from faggot OP
>>731101117>Though if Highguard craters, Sony might decide to pull a Hyenas and scrap the project rather than send a new title out to die in a hostile market.Sony isnt making Highguard, I think Fairgames might die, but if Marathon bombs hard it def will
>>731101246I know, I'm saying that if they see a competing live service shooter fail, they'll see it as a market trend and pull the plug. Even if the 400 million USD was exaggerated, I doubt Sony wants to risk another Concord-tier failure.
>>731101354Could be, but the execs will have excuses as to why Fairgames ackshually isnt comparable to Highguard. What baffles the mind is no one trying to make a Battlefield clone, just use the Killzone IP and watch the money come in.
>>731099303>Lightning strikes twiceUnless you're going to spread a mass contagion again, Highguard is doomed to fail.
>>731101665After losing so much money on their big live-service blitz, that might actually be Sony's new plan.
>>731099303Im eager to play it just to see how much of a shitshow it is, im sad I still regret not playing the concord beta
>>731101920honestly playing a game you know will die can be kinda comfy, I played Quake Wars on 360 and Evolve and in both we all knew the end was nigh but kept playing
>>731101920You should have seen the lobbies when they announced they were shuttering it. People wanted to get the platinum trophy before shutdown, and needed to hit account level 100 to earn it - then someone figured out that there's barely any difference in xp gains for short matches vs. long matches and wins vs. losses. So everyone would start up a match, and immediately jump off the nearest ledge to end it as quickly as possible. Every game turned into a speedrun suicide pact.
HYPEGUARD
>>731101532Not going to happen, anon. Sony and Guerrilla decided that Killzone is old news, and what the people want is more Horizon.
>>731099303I wonder if it's 3v3 or more than 2 squads involved. It can be fun if it has 3v3v3v3 dynamic.
>Apex Devs so the servers will be shit and they will never fix them. Good to know.
It's funny how I_AM_ABIB ate a Krystal thread without provocation but he let this thread stay up.
>>731104892we talk about video games here, lil bro
>>731099303>>731099962>>731101028How many more troon inspired fps games are coming out?
>>731099303I also hated Apex.
>>731106580Hated or not apex was and still is incredibly successful
No cool mech/mount bros, no install. 'ate Apex, luv me Titanfall. Simple as.
>>731101028Shame that video will be better than the game ever will be.
>>731108993You can ride horses which sounds retarded.
>>731099303HIGHGUARDIUM LEVIOSA!!!
>>731109149Seems like it's taking a page out of Paladins' playbook - horses to let you return to the frontlines quickly after respawn, but they disappear when hit. Seems like you can shoot while mounted, though.
>>731109260Just make them maps smaller instead of having to ride some mount to get back to action
>>731109310No can do, sprawling (or at least sprawling-looking) maps seems to be one of their selling points.
>>731109506The mounts are clearly just a shitty cash grab avenue for cosmetics.
>>731109149I was more talking about something similar to a Titan where it actually helps out in battle. Like a golem, ogre, drake, and so on. Not a glorified sprint from base.
>>731109908>Battles are all about giving your giant monster a chance to pin down the enemy's giant monster so you can actually hurt itI miss Gigantic.
>>731110701Didn't it get a relaunch a year or two ago?
>>731110858It did, but the game's got some bugs and the playerbase is extraordinarily dead, so unless you've got nine other players in a discord call, you're not finding a match.
>>731099303aesthetics alone looks like its going to fail>too fantasy for tactical shooter fags>too normal for fantasy fagsterrible middle ground visually imo, don't see it appealing to the mass market or finding a dedicated niche.
>>731111185I have no idea where the idea of>WOAH LES HAVE FANTASY AND SCIFI AND MODERN MILITARY ALL AT ONCEcame from, zero visual identity in this and others like it
>>731111280Paladins.
>>731111280full on knights in heavy plate armor with big, chunky guns works. its called fucking 40k. for some reason everyone else that tries it is retarded and thinks slapping some plate armor over a kevlar vest and giving the wizard a normal assault rifle is good enough instead of actually going hard in on the concept
>>731111025>dead game gets re-released>still a dead game
10 MORE DAYS WARDENS
>>731099303Concord 2
>>731099431>put out an gameplay demonstration with a dev explaining what makes Highguard differentThis. If people think you're games shit based off one trailer and you do nothing you're just letting their imagination go wild about how shit the game will be. Doing nothing is the absolute worst response because the only logic reason for it is they know the games generic and everyone's busy getting ready to bail out
