Why are mech games so hard to get right?
It's actually pretty easy to get right just make something good and cool instead of a soulless ripoff of titanfall with the stupid game show aesthetics from splitgate
>>741882654/thread
an actual titanfall dev started his own titanfall called diesel knightsit's ww1 titanfall
Does it have a solo campaign?

In the case of simulators where you actually pilot the mechs, the problem is that mechs don't make sense in reality, so you can't even simulate the experience. MechWarrior 2, which is considered a simulator, puts you in a parallel universe where the ground is completely flat and there's basically nothing there, but modern games need to create more convincing environments, and in a real-world setting, you wouldn't be able to take two steps in a mech without tripping...So the solution is to make a shitty-ass FPS, but with worse controls, because if you move around too freely, it'll just feel like a normal FPS where you're giant.
>>741884128I followed it basically from inception.>barely has any working shit>one mech with barely any assets>feels like experimenting>goes to make kikestarter without any good demos or proof-of-concept showcaseThis shit fucking smells and I didn't give a single dime to the guy. It screams SCAM in my eyes.
>>741882435>Why are mech games so hard to get right?The best western mech game ever made was Mechwarrior 3, and it has never been replicated. Slow movement, highly customizable mechs, destructable environments, military themes. Frankly, the genre is too masculine for modern devs to get right, or to care about to begin with.
>>741884673check Engines Of Destruction, it looks promising, shame I missed the playtest because I didn't login to steam for few days
>>741882435I don't understand the desire for a "titanfall spiritual successor." Maybe i don't get what people like about TTF2 but I feel like the people I see wanting a TF3 simply just glaze TF2 mindlessly and just "want more." What exactly needs adding or changing in that case?TF2 has so many issues that anyone trying to replicate it will either split its playerbase trying to fix them or go about having the same problems.
>>741884580Progress has been unusually slow even for a single-man project. I also think it's suspect. We've all been in situations where we had to buckle down and get a job done. I don't see that kind of moxy from him.
>>741884673I've been playing Metal Bringer for days now. I might play this next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFo70gw6JE8I feel the need for speed.
>>741882435It already exist and its Mechwarriors 5: Mercenaries. The game + DLCs are on discount right now. Grab the succession war bundle + maybe shadow of kerensky for late game mechs + 17 new biomes. There's a lot of cool mods on steam workshop too
>>741882435No one wants to make them because normies are too insecure for mecha.
>>741884451The solution is to force people to use autism controls. It can't be designed like typical gamepad games, some small element of it needs to be tactile mech LARPing.Also cockpit noises.>>741887295Mechwarrior Living Legends also still exists even if MW5 wanted it gone.
>>741882654>soulless ripoff of titanfallshitanfall is just call of duty with decent advanced movementthe aim assist in shitanfall is a joke
>>741882435this is just temu titanfall
>>741882435because mechs are a power fantasy but devastating everything uncontested doesnt make for "compelling" gameplay. this is wrong of course.mech games should be like musous in my opinion
>>741884923>What exactly needs adding or changing in that case?players
>>741882435why not just play Titan Fall 2?
>splitgate devsGame might as well be DoA. These retards can't stick to a project and will just pump out mediocre garbage. I fully expect to see an Empulse Battle Royale spinoff within a year and Empulse 2 within 3 years. All half baked and abandoned.
>>741882435>early access>PvP only>Shitgate 2 Devs>$20KWAB, it's DOA.
This shit plays more like Black Ops 3 than Titanfall. Fuck these people
