Nope it's not 7

>>746072324>>746072330That's neat>2027what were they doing after 6 jeez
>>746072324I hope this is just new dlc and they don't expect me to buy a new version of a game I bought last year.
I'd much rather they just cooked up 7.>>746072858they absolutely will charge full price for this as well as want you to buy the DLC again
>>746072858Just like 4.1 was a PS4 port for 2025, this seems like a PS5 port for 6. The trailer seems to promise a juiced up number of enemies on screen, and maybe a new story?
>>746072324When are they moving to the Unreal Engine like everyone else?
>>746073223Show unreal engine handling as many active entities onscreen as serious sam first.
>>746073223It will when yukes completely takes over when the old dudes at sandlot retire.
>>746072324I thought you were talking about this for a sec, got excited and everything
>>746073223>have an engine that they know how to use and works>"when are they moving to an engine that they haven't used and that doesn't work"
>>746072324I don't like 6s missions, like at all.Thankfully you can drag and drop a 10mb file and that gives you all of EDF5 in 6
>>746073223>would need 2 5090s to even achieve 30fpskino..
>>746073478>Thankfully you can drag and drop a 10mb file and that gives you all of EDF5 in 6Oh wow. That's a cool mod.Thanks anon.
>>746072324>>746073056We already had 7
>>746072324Well whatever this is, hopefully it doesn't take 2 years to come to the west... they'll have to hunt down those voice actors again and it'll take even longer to localize.
This shit should be free for PC if you bought 6....
>>746073624>they'll have to hunt down those voice actors againMy friends say I do a really good impression of Ohara. I'll do it for like, 50 bucks and a few copies of the game for me and my boyz.>What is this? What is this?!?
>>746073685I now want a /v/df voice mod
>>746073662A Japanese company putting out a free update? Absurd.
>>746073624They use ai voice acting for most of 6.
>>746072324nigga be lookin like Hank Hill got the no ass and everything
>>746073685>I do a really good impression of OharaBased, he's still my favorite character in the series>The speed of these bastards' evolution is terrifying!>PROGRESS FASTER THAN SCIENCE IS IMPOSSIBLE!
>One of the major features of Earth Defense Force 6.2: Invaders from Another World is the “extreme” sense of despair that players feel as even larger swarms of enemies rain down upon them. At their peak, the sheer number of enemies is roughly double that of Earth Defense Force 6.>The missions are based on those from Earth Defense Force 6, but more than half of the existing missions have been updated. Additionally, the number of formidable enemies, which previously only appeared in Earth Defense Force 6‘s downloadable content missions, has doubled, and they will now appear in the main story.>There are also completely new missions, making this the game in the series with the most missions yet.>The game also introduces the series’ first weapon customization system, allowing players to modify weapons according to their strategy, such as customizing an assault rifle with custom ammunition that adds a combustion effect, or loading a rocket launcher with rockets that have a freezing effectThat will be 60 dorra + 30 dorra DLC + late 2028 earliest wait for the port stupid gaijin.
>>746073991Well I'm looking forward to all of that. But sadly everything you added is going to be true.
>>746072324will it run on AMD unlike 6
>>746073991>skipped 6 on release because I didn't like what they did to AR>recently started playing through 4.1 with a new group of friends and started thinking about getting over my autism and just getting 6 if we keep this up and beat 5>this gets announcedI just keep winning, thanks for buying 2025 too suckers!
So I'm going to guess if they intend to implement more missions into the game, story-wise, this either could mean the Professor's "nuke the fuck out of Mars" plan backfired and thus caused another set of mutant life which in turn led to the Primer mess or if DLC2 was some indication, Malice might've succeeded in sending that information before getting shut down.
>>746072324>>746073991>mfw currently playing through EDF6This shit happens to me too often.
>>746072324ermm 6 already included EDF 7, 8, and 9
>>746072324https://youtu.be/ujT7sl9I0D4>twice ~ thrice the number of enemies on screen>also adding the DLC enemies on the main story missions (that includes the mega-gay blue type-3 drones and their homing attacks)I've been playing co-op EDF6 on a PS5 with a friend and the console could struggle on several occasions, not by much but still noticeable; so I dunno how it's gonna keep up with that much.I'm more looking forward to the Switch 2 ports of EDF5 and 6 with maybe an actual sequel in a few years.
>>746074684*splitscreen co-op
>>746074684really not looking forwards to the machine gun bees in the main story.or any of the dlc1 enemies really
>>746074684I actually hope the blue type 3 drones are nerfed they were anti fun enemies.
>earth dlc forceThis is absolute goyslop you fags only give it a pass because it’s made in japan
I really really wish there was a mod that made the huge flying saucers kill you when they crashlike they spend all this time falling and there's this HUGE explosion but then you just ignore it, it'd be more fun if you had to gtfo or explode and get ragdoll'd to hell
>>746072324But will you allowed to shoot human in this game?
>>746072324great another copy and pasted EDF game with shit performance, the same recycled weapons and characters, outdated visuals, overpriced and 0 people playing and your friend will think you are weird if you try and get them to play.
>>746073589Has the guy fixed the issue where some missions won't trigger events like they're supposed to? That was occasionally a problem.
>>746073991>More missions than EDF6>EDF6 already has over 150 missions before you add in the DLC additionsH-how many missions could it possibly have? Will we also get previous DLC weapons as baseline weapons now? The Ranger and Fencer had some insanely good ones.
>>746075038Thinking you'll get the reflector before the plasma bots show up, NUH HUH!
>>746072858Heres my dream DLC, because of you killing their god and fucking over their timetravel humanity is saved but the timeline is destabilized. You have to mop up Primer incursion. Then when fighting the primers, new forces appear from rifts. It's the ravagers This culminates in a massive 3 way battle. 4.1 items are added the game like balam's and Velgalta.
>>746074684Webm for future.
>>746073991>making this the game in the series with the most missions yet.This is so dishonest when a good handful of those missions don't even involve shooting anything, just standing around listening to radio chatter while something happens before getting dumped back to the mission select menu.
Screenshot of 6.2
>>746074218LolLmao even
>>746075218>other companies want to render every single pore and nose hair of their ugly abominations>Sandlot wants to kill your hardware with unnumerable amounts of alien bugs.You love to see it.
>>746075218the horde scale looks kino
>>746075250And the new enemy to go with this new mushroom environment.
>>746075346EDF6 had a vaguely aquatic theming going on with many of the new monsters. What's the new theme going to be, aggressive flora?
>>746074763>>746074725I didn't mind the DLC1 enemies (the blue wasps spawned in little numbers there too) but the blue type-3 drones became my biggest nightmare as a Ranger.DLC2 had some neat concepts like the industrial area at night where you had to prioritize the cleaner teleporter anchors over the rusty ones, or the reverse tower defense mission.>>746074890>and 0 people playing and your friend will think you are weird if you try and get them to play.I actually managed to made a few IRL friends (who are mostly PC gamers) play EDF and we occasionally play splitscreen coop like I mentioned earlier.Then again I'm the sole guy in the group who play niche stuff on a regular basis, my Switch has been a good ally to have them try and discover games on that note.>>746075250>>746075346>mushroom enemywut
Wont buy if they keep using epic game shit for the server stuff. So many dcs or friendly fire incidents due to shitty lag
Sorry for the small ass pic but here is the freeze effect.
Sadly, excavators are still in the game so I won't be playing.
>>746075449better pic
>>746075398DLC1 has the mission with the entirely non-destructible buildings and those asshole spiders? I still can't do that mission with Ranger, and I have to be super mobile with the others to manage it. Whoever thought a whole city that can't be destroyed in a game where environmental destruction has always been a thing should've been fired.
>>746075519This
>>746075395I imagine the shrooms are some sort of terraformer, like a biological version of the towers in the devastated future missions.>>746075346These dudes look like fun. They really hit it out of the park with most of the new enemies in 6. I can imagine these niggas hopping around buildings, shooting spores or some shit at you. Like a less retarded Scylla maybe.
>>746075346Another screen of the new enemies
I want to call in a bunch of human reinforcements. Shame we havent gotten a class with that as a gimmick
I never played an EDF before 5, Was EDF 4.1 a big update to 4? Would it make an apt comparison?
This screen I think is of a new city map? If not its a weird screenshot to showoff 6.2>>7460757294.1 had a lot of balance changes. 4 feels like a beta of 4.1
>>746072324So is 6.2 just 6 with extra stuff? I don't know how the decimal entries work
>>746075729Every sequel in EDF always includes changes that feel like they always should've been there, meaning it's one of the few series where each new game is legit the best version mechanically compared to the last. You can still play the older ones for the story, as at least those tend to have some really cool set pieces and equally silly dialogue.
>>746075708it would unironically be op. Missions are balanced around the allies you have or don't have. Plus it wouldn't make sense to call in reinforcements during a mission where the EDF is on it's last leg, which is very common in 6.It would certainly be fun though.
lol here's a screen of a map that looks like aids.
>>746075960The weapon customization must really boost your power level if they expect you to deal with this shit somehow.
>>746075991Get a load of this. This shit looks like an official mod.
>>746075991Until the primers decide they have had enough and start cycling in anti status effect armors.
Another new enemy. Blue bombers were certainly missing from DLC 2 I guess.
horrible graphics.
>>746075729Yes, because it improved performance and added a shitton of new content, including Erginius (the Godzilla/Kaiju sized Lizard). 2025 (that's EDF4) went from chugging at 10 FPS on PS3/X360 to a more stable 40/60 FPS on PS4.It's been 10 fucking years though, EDF6 was also already on the PS5 so this 6.2 shit feels completely unnecessary.Even moreso when 5 and 6 are pretty much just 4.1 with slight improvements.
>>746075960That's the Barga vs Archelus fightWhat the fuck...
>>746076015>All those spidersOh boy, this is exactly what I asked for.
>>746072324>Nope it's not 7Expect EDF7 in 2030 at the earliest.
>>746076086>Muh gwaphicsGo press Left stick forward
Another angle of the Mushroom level. Which is using a brand new map. I am happy this is going to have new maps and not just the ones already found in 6.
>>746072324I wonder if it'll really just be EDF 6 2. With the new enemies they might be hinting at something. Lorewise considering the fact that there's new enemies that weren't in 6 this really might be a sequel? If not a full fledged one then perhaps something that adds new story content to set the base up for a new EDF.
>>746076246I wish we could go to the moon. It's technically a part of Earth, just orbiting it. I really, REALLY, want to have a mission where we destroy the alien moon base.
>>746076309>A New "6.2" is Born in an Unknown World Line.Sounds like there's gonna be a new loop which is where I imagine the new missions will take place.
>>746074609**wait, the dlcs actually have story?fuck...
>>746076989Yes, DLC1 is likely one of if not the very first time the aliens invaded Earth, and in response to the aliens taking over several cities, the EDF launch nukes that destroy a fuckton of the planet but do successfully repel the aliens. DLC2 is a training AI made by the EDF to train their soldiers with, but it goes rogue. Because the AI always has to go rogue.
>>746077084Malice doesn't go rouge she just gets angry she can't do her job because Storm 1 are that good.
>>746076989Dlc 1 has a story that relates to the main plot. Dlc 2 is a star trek holodeck that generates impossible missions to train edf soldiers. Except Storm 1 keeps succeeding and it pisses the ai off. Unless that anons suggestion turns out correct then it does have major impact on the story.
>>746074684I mean, is it really EDF if your frame rate doesn't hit single digits?
>>746077119It tries to contact the primers I would say that's going rouge.
>>746077084I will add though she makes a joke about sending data to the primers, if she really did that that would be why 6.2 has double the enemies.
>>746077230>Bethesda has 16 times the details>Sandlot has 64 times the bugsIt always feels like Sandlot is in a competition to outdo itself with the absurdity every game.
Man, I tried to go back to 6 not too long ago, but i can't seem to run it anymore. It just crashes at the end of every mission, preventing any progress
>>746072324>same game>same assets>same broke-ass incoherent story>same janky mechanics and enemies>againThank god, I was worried they'd fuck it up.
>>746077197Yes it is>t. PChad
I was excited until I remembered this shit ain't hitting steam until atleast 2 years from now.
all of these games are exactly the samethe novelty of fighting a bazillion giant ants has worn off more than a decade ago
>>746077387Same, can't boot mine because the Epic cache broke or something and I can't seem to purge and have the cache remade because I'm on Linux.
>>746077546Doubt it, 4.1 released much fasterAnd this is just 6, repackaged, already ported. This will take a year at most.
>>746077635Raping an Erginus with an AC130 will never lose it's novelty.
>>746077635>the novelty of fighting a bazillion giant ants has worn off more than a decade agoNot for me. If anything there should be more games where you get sent to No Man's Land and solo billions of enemies while all of humanity jacks you off over radio.
>>746077635I want to kill more though>>746077679Shit havent tried to play since switching to linux. Is there even a playerbase anymore. For whatever reason I just never find solo that fun
>>746077449EDF 6 actually has quite a coherent story with resonant themes built on throughout the game. It's just that no one listens to the dialogue that illustrates this because they see EDF as a haha funny turn your brain off and shoot bugs game...
>>746077679Should be in your steamapps folder, you want 'compatdata' instead of 'common', then just look for the folder that matches the game's steam ID, should be able to follow any sort of 'appdata' path from there, or just delete the whole numbered folder if you don't mind losing your progress.
>>746077910EDF6 has a story that you will miss a lot of the context for some missions if you haven't played EDF5, but it does have a shockingly positive ending and outlook compared to practically any other game in the series outside of that voxel based EDF game.
>>746077910>It's just that no one listens to the dialogue that illustrates this because they see EDF as a haha funny turn your brain off and shoot bugs game...Fair point, though the story was kinda insane for EDF6.It's probably down to the voice acting being a bit comical most of the time.
>>746074684One the one hand, Im hyped, but on the other Im pissed that it takes them so long to make anything even though they are using all the same models for the last 10+ years>delayed PC releaseStill a load of horse shit.
Did they ever fix the AMD crashing for this game? Why the fuck was that even happening when these games are built for consoles that use AMD hardware?
>>746078051Probably windows drivers, had 0 issues running on a 7900XTX on linux.
>>746078003>that it takes them so long to make anything eI just assume they have the most horrendous self made dev tools. Unironically this will be one of the biggest areas AI will shine for single A game devs
>>746078051>It has the AMD brand on it so it's the same thing and should workTry doing that with two cars, see how far you get!
>>746078051Dunno. I fucking seethed though. So many fucking crashes. Haven't tried to play after I upgraded from a 6600 to a 5080FE
>>746078051No and it wasn't just AMD it happened to me on Nvidia, had to switch over to dxvk until the last update which was like a year after they said they were working on it. Still works if you wanna try it.
>>746078143Seriously, that shit must be made with spit and dreams because they take so fucking long to make the most basic shit imaginable.
My biggest wish is that they finally make the vehicles not handle like ass. Please, I want a Grape that doesn't roll over if it takes a turn too hard.
>>746072324the earth defense force 7 begins now
>>746078137>Windows driversI was playing it on a steam deck you gay retardnow I have a 9070XT desktop but I haven't tried any edf on it yet
>play edf>pick ranger>pick a rocket launcher>start blastingSometimes it's the simple things in life
>>746078259For real. The vehicles seem like they should be such a big part of the game, but every single one handles like ass. Almost all the robots are shit. Like they make a big deal about some classes having the ability to summon vehicles, but every single one of them is just a waste of space.
>playing fencer>dashing around with the guided rocket pods>dash while the rockets start launching >I am moving faster sideways than the rockets are shooting up>rockets hit the ground and blow me the fuck up>fly miles down the city blockwhy can't every game have universal loose physics like thisit's fucking hilarious
>>746078442Can't tell you the number of times I've ragdolled myself to the next universe with shenanigans like this
>>746078442For me it's always retarded AI getting in my way right as I'm about to launch the Ayyxterminator Tactical Nuke 3000 at the enemy.
>>746077991There's a reason they delayed the english release of EDF 6 for over a year to get all the VAs from 5. They're integral to the experience. I don't know how much communication there is between the dubbers and the writers, but I suspect that the captain in the devastated future was an attempt to subvert player expectations using the voice acting.A lot of the stuff doesn't make sense on it's face. Meaning any experienced players will chock him up to typical EDF goofiness. As the story progresses you start to see that it's actually just a front he puts on to encourage his fellow soldiers. He's well aware of how dire the situation is, but he still firmly has hope that humanity can rise again, despite nearly the entire planet being reduced to a wasteland. His arc concludes when he launches the suicide attack on the ring, little does he know, this desperate, hopeless attack is exactly what buys humanity another chance at winning the war. One man's hope (and Storm 1) literally saves humankind. There's a lot of subtle stuff like this throughout 6. I gotta get to writing my video essay on this.
>>746078554If it's not that, it's some enemy corpse from previous explosions flying from offscreen and landing right in front of you and tanking the hit
>>746078559>A lot of the stuff he says doesn't make sense on it's face*fuark writing about EDF 6 gets me too excited
>>746072324Lel. I'm already 10 missions into 6. I guess I'll stop and wait. Especially since autoloot mod isn't working for some reason.
>japanese fencer has joined the lobbyyour response?
>>746078697Offline single player LMAO EVEN, if you don't play solo online you didn't beat the game. 140K triple it for online.
>>746078259>>746078404>Filtered by physics and accelerationlmao fucking retardsThe vehicles would feel like shit if it wasn't for those.
>>746078259>>746078404no way fagsbest clips gone sorry
>>746078942EDF is really the japanese HaloIt would be even better than Halo if the friendly AI was on the same level as CE marines.
>>746078697>Get into my Nyx"COME TO ONII CHAN"
>>746073308Eh, the new serious sam that is coming out this year and is using ue slop?
>The Earth Defense Force 7 begins nowthat was fucking unrivaled
>>746079002EDF plays nothing like GayloIt's closer to Serious Sam as it's all about crowd control.
>>746078404Multi person vehicles need an insane damage boost or need to be auto firing weapons for unused slots. Theirs no point in going in a Titans side gun or a Proteus's gun slot as most classes will have more DPS outside than in.
>>746073991The weapon customization sounds more explicitly looter shooter-y than before. I imagine this is how the pre-existing weapons will keep up with the increased scale if they don't buff the weapons or add new weapons for whatever comes after endgame Inferno. Hopefully, they will be more sensible to upgrade instead of adding more potential to bloat the green box drop pool with dupes. It would be really silly if they didn't modify the filler dialogue missions of 6 going forward.
Eh? So switch users won't get 6.2? Just regular 6?
>>746079291I remember that online only mission from 4.1 that had the crazy buff proteus that just lays waste to the ants and queens. Obviously it's too op for a call in but the proteus should really feel like a power weapon.
>more enemiesYeah but this will make Air Raider even more OP.>no new classesShit.>no day 1 PCShit.>only 1 new enemy typeMeh.>no new mechsShit.>still stuck with 4 man coopMeh.>new game with AAA pricingAbsolute garbage.
>>746079131there is way too many KINO moments in 6 to pick just one"I found our safe place! It's behind him!"

>>746081545wtf I thought the edf universe didn't have bugs
What if the bugs were replaced by cute anime girls trying to milk your dick? Trillion dollars game recipe right there.
the psionic link accpets only the prettiest and purest girls
>>746072324ohI got 6 on release and only ended up playing for... 14.3 hours.There's basically no way I am ever touching this. Not because 6 was bad or anything, but my opportunity for couch gaming is limited, and that's essentially the only way I will play. I like coordinating builds and digesting missions in progression.Already feel like I have way more to do with EDF5 than I would have liked to leave sitting on the table.
>>746081632NTA but I played the playtest as a diehard fan of Serious Sam.Biggest fight I can remember was a steady stream of like 40 kleer who have a stupidly easy to dodge leap instead of their usual lunge and were overwhelming. Then 60 kinda generic melee men who weren't overwhelming at all with at most 30 spawned at once I think.I really hate that Sam and EDF are the only real places I can get my big horde shooter fill and the sam roguelite isn't scratching it. Especially since Shatterverse isn't being made by Croteam and lacks structured fights due to being a roguelite.EDF 6.2 looks like Sam 4 with the enemy multiplier turned up to 11 though, I wanna see how the hell the weapons will keep up since DLC1+2 on Inferno was really fucking hard.
>>746073115That would be cool but I hope they give PC and option for those same more enemies on screen boosts

I'll get it if the netcode's not fucked up again.
>>746074809Actual humans maybe not but there already enemies that look almost identical
>>746075950>Plus it wouldn't make sense to call in reinforcements during a mission where the EDF is on it's last legWell, Air Raider gets his air support cut off whenever the plot demands it so it's not like they'd have an issue with doing that for another class
