EDF 6.2 got announced at TGS.Updated re-release of EDF 6 for PS5, utilizing the power of the PS5. So far Japan only, but most likely a timed release thing. Setting is another timeline where the monster count is cranked up to 11 and missions are changed up to also include DLC monsters. Weapon/Equipment customization is confirmed as well.Hopefully we get some kind of upgrade option since this isn't 2017 anymore and PS5 is BC with PS4 as well. We and I know better and this is gonna be like $60 separate
I'll drop what pics are available from the announce trailertrailer in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujT7sl9I0D4the AI dub sounds like the professor which amuses me
this, I don't like this
>Just bought 6 on SteamGoddammit

>>746091152Hopefully we get this on PC, EDF 6 must've been built for the PS4 first if PS5 is getting the updated version. So it'll be quite some time before we hear rumblings of other ports, not to mention localization/dubbing. I imagine this is gonna have new dialogue for the DLC monsters and the slight changes to the timeline to explain the deluge of bugs. Thinking about it, it's a sequel timeline to DLC 2 where the rogue AI emails the Primers to tell them "bro just send everything at once all the time and Storm-1 will probably die, trust me bro"
That's cool and all, but what about the people who already bought it on PS5/PC? Do they just have to buy the game again? Because if they do that's obviously bullshit.
>>746091291right now it's up in the air, that would be the smart thing. Best case scenario is that it's a free update, hope/cope scenario is that it's a $10-$20 update. Most likely scenario is that they're just releasing it as a separate title like the other updates as a $50-$80 title. Granted, the other updates were for consoles before the digital age/PS4 isn't BC with PS3/Switch release.
>>746091291>Do they just have to buy the game again? If the past is anything to go by? You certainly will.
What does this even add? 6 barely added anything.
>>746091518more monsters on the field + adding DLC monsters to the base game story. Bunch of missions are being "rearranged" to include them and most likely increased enemy spawns. Dunno if the increased spawns are for every mission or just the ones they're changing up.
>>746091518>>746091590the major change is weapon/equipment customization, hopefully reducing the weapon bloating. Rangers can take flame/explosive rounds for example, so that should make a chunk of his weapons redundant.
>>746090949Let me guess: they used AI to finaly optimize their code and graphics. And what do they do with all that extra computing power? Do they update the graphics? Of course not. They incease the enemy count even more , like the based developers they are.
>>746091706most likely, knowing SANDLOTthe graphics will be exactly the same, the PS5's power is just to have carpets of monsters and the advanced technology involved for adding a new screen for the equipmentwe'll see how it performs at TGS, playable demo will run Sep 17-23
>going to take 2 years to release it on PC againSee you fags in 2029
>>746091874Not if it still makes you register on EGS to play multiplayer.
>>746091152You've still got plenty of time to play EDF6. It's not releasing until next year in Japan and there's usually a 1-2 year wait for the localised version.
>>746091914that's been gone since Oct 2024
>>746090949>EDF 6.2 got announced at TGSTGS is 20 days away still, I take it you mean it got announced for a debut on TGS.
>>746092018sure whatever
>>746090949This shit is not going to be okay.
>>746092092I don't like the rolly-polly's getting this treatmentif anything stops Storm-1 its gonna be that
yay! I'll get to stare at a nice ass for hours straight while getting launched around by fucking roller bugs and killed by spiders again
>>746091518>6 barely added anything.You really think that?
>>746092092Imagine firing a Gallic shot straight through the middle.
>>746092092>6 million hornets, flamethrowers, rolling bugsThis'll either be very painful or very fun.
>>746092092my Air Raider is ready to BEAAAAAAAAAM!!!
>>746092092Can't wait for multiplied DLC Danmaku Krakens that will drop the game to single digit FPS.
I wish modders figured out how to make objects on levels (specifically buildings) invulnerable. It'd change everything on urban maps.
>>746092676Some maps with webs have those.
>>746091874>ywn be enlisted to defend earth blasting bugs with your bros and meet a cute wingdiver gf
>>746090949If its a #PS5Exclusive that means it won't need EOS for cross platform match making which means this will fix the desync issues
>>746092953possibly, but I imagine more ports will suddenly arrive when the localization is finished up so most likely we'll still be stuck with it. I hate epic, but EOS is the easiest way to get cross-platform working. At least its not required for Steam anymore. inb4 it is for the Steam release of 6.2 in 2030
>>746093108How much localisation would be needed?D'you think they'll pull a slight revamp on the whole story?
>>746093323not at all, but some of the missions will most likely have new dialogue to record to mention the increased enemy counts and mutants. otherwise it's considered a new timeline according to the devs. Takes time to dig up those voice actors again, I doubt Sandlot has em on retainer or something.
>>746093415also gotta translate the new weapon screen for customizations. takes time :^)
>>746090949>Didn't buy 5 because of 4.1 scam>Didn't buy 6 because of 4.1 scamFeels fucking good, fuck those jewsAlso no it's not going to be 60, it's going to be 80 + 20 + 20+ 30 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5
>>746093415After the fan push to make sure all the original VAs were brought back, I'm sure at least one person knows who all everyone is.The website says (through translate functions) "We made changes specialized to the specifications of the PS5, and various elements power up and volume up."I know "volume up" means an increase in enemy count, but I also hope it means an increase in NPC dialogue, it was a lot harder to hear random dialogue in EDF6 cause they nerfed the audio balance.
>>746090949Jesus that's a lot of betas.
>>746093571At least 4.1 was a port to a new console. 6 and 6.2 are both PS5 games. The fuck is that?
>>746093323I miss Giant M. Bison, the dragon was an awesome spectacle but genuinely unfun as a final boss even if you're geared for it.
>>7460937596 was a multi-platform game, for the PS4 and PS5This is a straight PS5 game so they get to use the dedicated full power of a PS5 instead of gimping themselves to PS4 power
>>746093881It's still awful to buy a game for the PS5 and then have them release the PS5 version of the game a while later and expect you to rebuy it. Or at least I assume they're going to do that.
>>746093881I'm just praying they break tradition and this functions like DLC to people who already own the game. Especially for the PS5/PC versions of 6. We all know better though.
>>746093759They're probably extremely angry that people get to play 6 on PS5. Like how 4.1 never came on xbox because 2025 was backward compatible.
>>746090949>Setting is another timeline where the monster count is cranked up to 11This doesn't even sound fun, and I don't like the idea of weapon customization in EDF.
I can’t imagine the DLC 2 missions having even more enemies unless the players get a power boost, some of those missions were already pure CBT to get through.
>>746094027thats why I'm thinking new weapons are gonna show up to make this manageable. otherwise Rangers are using penetration rounds/weapons exclusively
Yes but can I still use the naughty boy?
>>746091291>>746091415LolLmao even
>>746090949>EDF 6.2>Updated re-release of EDF 6I have decimal fatigue
>>746094027DLC2 M40 still haunts me, never cleared it online on inferno.
>>746094545Sandlot in charge of grifting as much cash as possible>>746094571They already did it for EDF 2025 with EDF 4.1 so it adds up. If we ever get a new EDF, we'll have to wait for EDF 8/XI before we see EDF 8.3.
I'm lookin at the EDF6 mod page and someone has been at work and has released an update mod for EDF5 in EDF6 which (potentially) lets you play the full game online.https://www.nexusmods.com/earthdefenseforce6/mods/346
More EDF is always good, but this should've been a free DLC or something.
>>746090949>love EDF>developed photosensitivity seizures a year after finishing 5+6:(
>>746094712It should have but that way they can sell the DLC from 6 a second time and make some new ones.
>>746091152It's okay; 6.2 is a permanent Playstation exclusive.
>>746091016>>746090949>Be sandlot>Hmmmm new console has a ton more juice to play with>hey should we upgrade the fidelity >Sure yeah... Or...>MORE ANTS Bless sandlot. Why yes I will pay $60-70 again to play it when it comes to PC how could you tell
>>746094712won't know for sure until TGS kicks off, I'm just assuming it's gonna be a standalone title to acquire as much money as possible from EDF fans.
>>7460909496 wasn't very good. I'll stick to 5.
>>746094875Some mechanical changes were questionable, but ability to play the entirety of 5 in 6 is worth it
>>746092092>Lag from the gammasBlessed be
>>746094712It should be EDF7. 6 came out 4 years ago.
>>746090949EGS/EOS SHIT = NO BUYAlso from what I've read, AMD GPU users are fucked on Windows, which they still haven't fixed it.
>>746094969if the next EDF game isn't "EDF X" I'm going to be legit upset
>>746094967Now Imagine billions of robots.
>>746093950Why the fuck would they care
>>746094985Epic login hasn't been a requirement since 2024>>746095012>PS5 crashes when the carpet of Excavators appear
>>746094985My friendEOS was in EDF6 to facilitate crossplay between PS4 and PS5This is a PS5 exclusiveThe chance of EOS drastic go down>>746095034EOS is still a blight on the game though
>>746091291>Hey guys street fighter 2 turbo just came out do I have to buy the whole game againThis shit is older than most of the users here
>>746095034>Epic login it still used epic online services
>>746095016Because they can't force you to double dip, EDF 6 is already more expensive than GTA 6, they only exist to rip you off as hard as possible.
Looking forward to it. I just would like people to stick with it.
>>746091152It's releasing next year in Japan, and if we go by previous EDF release schedules, the localized PS5 version will come out in 2028 and the PC release in 2029 at the earliest.
>>746094992>EDF X>instead of time travel, it's dimension hopping>Pale Wing returns
>>746094969Jesus I didn't even notice, this makes this rehash even worse for delaying a real sequel for years. Sandlot taking the AAA pill where they release one game a decade.
>>746095081>EOS was in EDF6 to facilitate crossplay between Wrong, they added that shit on pc because they also released the game on Timmy's store and EGS faggots didn't want to be left alone while people on Steam are playing together and thus Sandlot proceeded to ruin the experience for pc users in general.
>>746093571>Also no it's not going to be 60, it's going to be 80 + 20 + 20+ 30 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5Wergs for me. See you in 2030 when it releases on PC
>>746095261No, faggothttps://onlineservices.epicgames.com/spotlights/in-less-than-a-month-how-earth-defense-force-6-added-crossplay-by-adopting-epic-online-services
>>746090949More RAD when?
>>746094098>otherwise Rangers are using penetration rounds/weapons exclusivelyLiterally all the best weapons are penetrating anyways
>>746094663That has been available since like a week after launch
>>746095383Play Remote Control Dandy.
The humans turn up too early in EDF6
>>746095480Yeah, mod 10 is available for Single player and only a few online missionshttps://www.nexusmods.com/earthdefenseforce6/mods/10>46 missions are confirmed to work online, with the others blanked from the listThe mod I linked is doing more work to make the whole game work online
>>746094985They did fix the AMD GPU crashes. It took fucking forever but they did eventually do it.
>>746095354Who cares about console faggots?EOS ON HAS NO FUCKING CROSSPLAY BETWEEN PC AND CONSOLE ONLY FOR EGS AND STEAM
>>746095596The. Reason. It. Was. Included. Was. To. Facilitate. Cross. Play. Between. PS4. And. PS5.If. It. Is. Only. A. PS5. Game.It. Won't. Need. EOS.
>>746094969>EDF7t. Didn't play 6
>>746095583>FixLessened. Not fixedt. 6600
>>746090949PILLBUG-SAMA PLEASE NOOOO
>>746096132
>>746096132I hate flyers more.And excavators.God, i hate excavators.
>>746096210Flyers are aids for obvious reasons. Excavators force to your play at their speed which sucks. I too hate them
>>746096132I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PILLBUGS BRO
>>746096192>that bonk to the head at the end
>>746096347It was a proof of concept run, I'm glad to report it workedAir Raider shock cloud is better though
>>746096192Gammas are why I refuse to ever not use G&M. Piercing shots that knock them out of their jump while not scattering them like rockets do is just too good to pass up
>>746090949Finally a reason to buy a troonstation 5.
>>746090949What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan.
>>746095984Not to be that faggot but you should just use DXVK anyway since the game uses D3D11 and AMD dropped support for it in the windows drivers ages ago.
>>746097063Yeah this is the first and last AMD card I'm buying if switching to Linux doesn't magically fix most of the problems.
>>746091281I preordered 6 on steam. then i refunded it before ever installing it because of the epic crossplay bullshit. I'd only buy this if it removed all that shit entirely, fuck 'crossplay' with like 3 people.
>>746092460It's going to be very painfunny
>release the same game>just increase enemy spawn ratefuck japanese
5>6>4.1How are the spinoffs?
Cool, still need to finish the game
>>746098840this but based japs
>>746091803If they make the net code less restrictive so I dont have to look at all the d-sync, I might pick this up. If not, I will just wait until EDF 10 comes out.
>>746098840Also add new monsters.And locations.And weapons.And weapon customization.Even more missions.Don't forget about more story.
>>746098945World Brothers is apparently alrightIron Rain is a dumpster fire
>ANOTHER helldivers-likeNah I'm good.
>>746099424>wait for edf10He didn't play it
>>746099549I could not quite remember what it got up to. My mind said 12, but the wiki only goes up to 9 from my quick search.
>>746099460>Don't forget about more storyCan't wait for more of Storm 1 canonical wife
>>746099806is that the "we must find the egg-shaped ship" girl?
>>746099742I'm just razzin ya big guy
Did they ever fix the issues with multiplayer?
>>746099937;^) fuck the desync though. My problem with it is that it made the kaiju fights so much more lame compared to 5. I miss seeing the giant walls of bullets and blood splatter covering the city scape.
>>746099912Yes
>>746100151Eh, I don't really care about her. Having a cutie whispering in your ear in every mission while you kill billions would be nice but in her case not only did she not show up enough but she also spent half her screentime acting like a schizo cultist.
>>746090949Did they fix the shitty netcode for 6 yet? I have no reason to get this or play 6 more until they do that.
>>746100240>half her screentime acting like a schizo cultistThat's the cute part
>>746099742In theory, it went infinitely high, the Meta part of the game where you go back through the mission list to find the new missions is implied to take place over many loopsThe final good timeline segment could be between 10 and 10,000 loops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtLAy2f5sTY
How good is 6 compared to 5?
>>746100990about 70% better
>>746100574The game is so over stimulating that I cant follow the subtle things. As long as these illegals get their passports before coming to Earth and they apologize for making us use code N. No city center has ever recovered from N.
>>746100990Online is a downgrade due to desync issues, but the content is better.
I want to speculateThe new trailer shows DLC enemiesDoes this mean DLC enemies show up in base game missionsDLC enemies show up in higher difficulties DLC is included (with chance for more DLC)Combination of two of the aboveWill we get new missions?The beta missions in the files https://www.nexusmods.com/earthdefenseforce6/mods/164 have some really interesting missionsSpecifically, I would love if they updated and included Future Past as a ??? missionImagine being in the Good future and you're fighting at the area the ring comes down, and instead of it ending the mission, it instead transitions to the same spot in the bad future, a special mission to try to destroy the ring as it spawns in both timelines. Potentially damaging it could swap between good and bad futures.
>>746101767its probably all 3. On the higher difficulties they will appear in some mainline missions and DLC will be included with probably a new batch of DLC too
dont give a fuck give me world brothers 3
>>746100990The EDF6 players FUCKING SUCK BALLS, holy shit they can't do anything. You'd think EDF is a free to play franchise or something. By that measure my EDF5 experience was way better
I know Ranger is often regarded as the weakest and a vanilla flavor, but he's my ol' reliable and I love him so fucking much
>>746102079EDF 5 players are just as bad. 6 is just harder so it shows more
>>746102248ranger went from the worst to second best in 6 imo. Fencer>Ranger>AR>Wing Diver
