What exactly is this?

[ZenienSight]

Trailers look cool, descriptions sound cool, it looks very cool all in all but...

What is this? A PvEvP survival battlegrounds? A server based sandbox survival game like ARK, Conan Exiles, Valheim? A loosely-campaign focused sandbox survival game with crafting and building elements? Or perhaps a hardcore campaign like The Division 1/2 but with survival elements? Are there character customization, cosmetic, clothes, gun skins? There are no definitive answers in the store page.

Can you host your own servers? Have two player-only servers? How many players can play together? Can you match for PvP/PvE only worlds? Is this online only?

A multiplayer open-world survival game is a bit too vague for today.

I'm wishlisting and hoping for the best. If Starry Studio's plan was to be vague and release more info leading up to release, ok then I suppose. They have my attention.

i imagine it will be somewhat like the forest

I'm wondering the same thing. When I first saw game play I was hoping for something along the lines of a hybrid between Scum, Conan Exiles, and 7 Days to die, with weird freaky alien things infecting the world... but is it just online?

It says you can play by yourself or with others, but will it be always online, almost like an MMO, or will you be able to play by yourself, or host a simple server for you and your friends?

Looks like, The Division meets The Evil Within 2. Very cool.

I had the same impression yesterday when I played. The Division had a baby with Generic Survival Horror game #346. Was alright, if a bit laggy.

Yea, played the beta. The easiest way i can explain it is, its a mash of up several different style of survival games. Its similiar to fallout 76 actually, but its good. I played about 20ish hours in 3 days. Has massive boss fights, you need(can be solo'd but hard) a party to do. Its interesting, a pretty good mashup of genre. If you had specific questions let me know i can try and answer them.

Thanks- I actually just looked up if anyone had posted some beta footage and sure enough, they're out there now. If anyone's curious like I was, you can look up vids on Youtube.

One of the first vids that popped up on Google search:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1lDwZYmsZnQ

I wasn't patient enough to skip/watch through the vid quickly so I watched maybe 2 min total. As for the game details, I guess we'll have to wait for actual details to arrive when it gets closer to release on ... Q4 2023. It's also releasing on Mobile.

I'm not sure how I feel about what I saw, whether I should be hyped or the opposite, It's still got some time til release though so I'll reserve my own quips.

The same as any multiplayer survival game...

They sell you on a concept, the actual game is actually launched EA or very bare bones.
Then the game will die out shortly after as the "meta" as in all multiplayer survival games will be to camp out at ambush points to kill players instead of scavenge for loot.

After all, why work for it when you can wait for someone else can do it for you?

The closed beta is just finishing up and I had a great time. Like Hades said, its a mashup of several games. Its got some great Secret World (filth)/SCP/Control(cursed objects) vibes, better camp building than fallout 76 by far, and some pretty good environments. Boss fights were fun, and the open world events were easy to jump into, no grouping up needed to take down and get rewards.

I mainly ran with sniper and pistol, they both felt good, especially the sniper rifle. Had good impact and snap to it. Motorcycles were available and felt fine, but Im curious to see if they have the mulitplayer vehicles up next time. Theres some lag in the pvp thunderdome resource war stuff, but most things were not bad otherwise. Already implemented lots of customization for character, building, weapon loadout, gear, and had plans for more.

It def needs polish, but overall playing on the pve server with another person, we were able to do a lot and test a bunch of things out. It felt solid honestly.

This i am also interested in. I don't care for PVP too much unless you're in a clan or something.

check the trailer, overused zombie cliches, horrible voice acting, annoying pvp etc....

[Bueno Stainz]

Its like Ark: Survival Evolved and the Division combined. You can fight players for resource nodes and I theres PvP zones (I didnt pay much attention to PvP as the game didnt run well enough for me). Theres tons of PvE POIs all over the map and some cool dungeons. I tried it out during a closed beta about a year ago, it was actually pretty fun but there was a lot of lag and FPS drops when there were lots of players around. Supposed to be another playtest before end of the year.

look at lifeafter and undawn to get an idea of whats to come, netease is apart of this and all they do is put out ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile games, im already seeing several of the usual bits from the mobile games in this trailer, can already tell you its going to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of random popups and notifications for making your character take a piss or to spend money on some fomo cosmetic in the store

[NexAngelus *X*]

seems like a mobile mmo game.
