Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Gameplay impressions

What do you say SW? Is it an upcoming masterpiece? Will it be better than Starfield (I know someone will make the comparison...)? Is it peak Uuuubisoft?

Just as Mirror's Edge it's made here in Sweden 😊!

Running on the brilliant Snowdrop engine.

Looks god awful. When fighting in first person, its straight up farcry trash. When flying and fighting on the bird, no games remind me more of Anthem than this thing.

Hope it turns out well. Enjoyed the first movie and just recently picked up the sequel on blu-ray so looking forward to watching that. Game looks like it has potential. Will keep an eye on it.

Also what's with the pandering? Blue people now?

Blue people are OK, i always wanted to date Liara.

Isn't she like 200 years old?

Looks fun. Like a good mashup of a shooter with Dying Light combined with a game where you fly on mounts (Divinity 2? Anthem?).

As I've said before, Ubisoft is a company I'd love to hate but they still put out some fun games despite making a lot of boneheaded decisions business-wise.

Anthem's gameplay was actually brilliant, though. Saying this looked like Anthem gameplay is an endorsement as far as I am concerned, not a criticism.

Anthem's failings had nothing to do with the core gameplay loop.

It really is a great engine.

Yeah but that's like a teenager in Asari years, so you know, kind of "barely legal" status

It's one of the three Ubisoft games I'm excited about, Frontiers of Pandora is one of them. I didn't get the chance to play that other Avatar game back in 2009, the Ubisoft Avatar however looks promising. Hopefully, it lives up to my expectations.

I couldn't disagree more. It was the most hollow and barebones experience that i can recall seeing in a video game. Its like they've made the map, and instead of filling it with activities and exploration, they launched the game. Literally everything outside of visuals blew. Gunplay was pathetic, chase/grind for weapons was the worst i've seen, zero endgame content, no build system to keep you playing for a while, ugly suits with the only praise i ever heard is "i feel like ironman" like flying in the air is original and never done in another game. It was a pathetic experience from the ground up.

Lots of experience. She would show me the way.

Not joking when I saw I'd rather be doing the dishes than sitting through this shit for 50 hours.

Oh I agree with you for the most part, the game was like 80% trash with little to no reason to keep playing. But the very basic execution of flying around in Iron Man suits on what is essentially the planet Pandora was the one thing they did well.

It just wasn't enough because it was a service-based game without any real services or reason to keep playing.

Big disappointment, and a huge waste of potential (yes, there WAS potential).

And i don't even like that, the flying part. What is the point of having beautiful environment, when you're zooming through it at 500 miles an hour?

Barely watched anything and immediately I thought this is Far Cry with an Avatar skin. :/ Not impressed.

Love how even super-shill jackfrags sounds about as enthusiastic as someone who's about to go a funeral.

Gameplay reminds me of Far Cry, Assassin's Creed and throw in some POP in there for good measure. I know people will see this as a bad thing.

But I see a game where you play as a native american and I'm all for it.

I dunno. This game had better showings in the past. I am unimpressed by this recent gameplay footage. Also, the performance issues this close to release are concerning. Probably going to be another broken unoptimized game at launch.

Hope it gets a 6/10 and bombs in sales.😁

As someone who doesn't care about Avatar and avoids Ubisoft open-world games, I'm completely indifferent. Easy pass.

A game based on a movie from Ubisoft?

I don't even need to look at this to know it's a turd.

Its ubisoft,it's open world if you don't like it you won't like PS first party,90% of sony games use the ubisoft formula...granted they add 15 hours of cut scenes but they are ubisoft at heart!

Hoping this game does well, but suspect it will be average.

I'll give it a go either way.

Your sig says it all, and who doesn't have a dishwasher these days?

To be honest I'm not that excited about the game myself. Not really a fan of Avatar. I have no idea why that movie was as succesful as it was. It was ok, but nothing special imo. I get that the 3D stuff was part of it, but still. The game also comes off as pretty average. Meh...

it's Avatar and the last movie was boring as ****

this looks like your above average licensed shovelware, nothing more

nothing here screams creative conviction either, more like Ubisoft execs in a smoke filled room talked about they need a banger Hollywood IP that's guaranteed to make loads of money off its name alone and Avatar got brought up

Game looks pretty cool

Looks like a wannabe horizon zero dawn.

The xbox series S must be holding back the consoles

You should create a thread about it.🤭

Far Cry: Frontiers of Pandora

Better than Starfield? Of course it's gonna be better than Starfield. Question is.. is it gonna be better than BG3,TotK, SM2 and Alan Wake?

look like far cry in a different guise...fine by me...primal is my favourite

Looks mediocre. Yewbi soft are trash at making games.
