Xbox crowd would have been more appreciative Illfonic, bring the game over here and dump these guys. j/k
Graphics/animations look fine to me, but the gameplay videos from this weekend really look fun as hell.
I overall had a blast. There were many moments as a member of the Fire Team, like when I watched the cloaked Predator jumping tree from tree, where I marvelled with the feeling that I was in the 1987 Predator movie.
I personally believe this thread is a premature one, but I blame Illfonic for much of its existence. There was a lot of content hidden from us. And I can't wait to learn more about Jake Busey's and Arnold Schwarzenegger's assumptive involvement. But I put this expectations vs experience problem squarely on the shoulders of Illfonic. Like Illfonic's first trailer not stressing it was Alpha footage, this weekend should have never been called a free trial. Never. It wasn't a free trial of the full game. It was a beta test of portions of it. We know there's a lot more content not shown and tweaks to come of course, but the gamers not following this game that closely who played a "trial" don't know that. Unless they called it what it was, a beta, and then people's expectations would have adjusted accordingly. I find it so frustrating.
See, I didn't know this. I knew Arnie and Busey had possibly recorded audio but as someone that hasn't followed every drip of news, I thought this trial was pretty much the real deal.
If anything I am now more excited for April 24th.

QuoteFourthly, this only applies to PC, but it is Epic Games Store. It is not going to be better than steam anytime soon, and the platform is currently running at a loss. You miss probably 80% of the PC players by making it an Epic Games exclusive. Only fans are going to look to buy it, causal players won't buy games unless it is put onto their radar, which Steam does well with seasonal sales, free weekends, and the daily promotions it does. If this game does come to steam I fear it will be too late at the game will have died by that point.
QuoteThey don't have the resources of a triple A studio. Of course this will be a bomb. I'll admit what they did with Predator gameplay and design is wonderful. But it's not enough.

I would have preferred a single player game, ala Concrete Jungle. Watching the Predator in this makes me want that even more. At the very least then you'd still have a game to mess around in long after the multiplayer has declined.
