Easier chase scenes? WTF Ubisoft? Isn't the game easy enough already? The chase scenes were a bit challenging in a game like this I admit, but that's just a good thing, don't be afraid of giving people a bit challenge. I think they should just make this game harder combat and chase wise, it's far too easy to just slaughter 20, 30 or 50 opponents just running down the street. And even if you get detected, it doesn't seem like a thread, it seems just mild inconvenience in every day life. And the one chase scene where you have to cleverly go around the buildings and try to find a faster route than the one you're chasing, who's as fast as you, was really awesome, it really felt like I'm besting my opponent legitimately, not just running and jumping through obviously laid out path so that I can air assassinate the target.
@SonWind744 Yes, Capcom does something right... And I wouldn't be surprised if there came 3 day 1 DLC's that could've easily been on the game, a true ending DLC 2 months later like with Asura's Wrath, and also passcode that locks 30% of your game that has already somehow been used even though the copy is sealed. Capcom seriously needs to get their shit together with DLC bullshit.
If there really is alien life capable of traveling to earth that would mean they're far ahead humans in technology, and the biggest question is can we humans conquer our nature. Human nature is to conquer things, control things. Like pets for example, or that we forcibly breed cows only to kill them for food or get milk from them. If these aliens came, what would humans do? We most likely would first just let them be, try to study them and they us. But what if there came more, like, say, even a billion aliens, maybe they breed a lot faster than humans and don't consider it that much. Where do we put them? Where do they want to stay? And especially, what would the aliens think of us. Humans can't understand dog or cat language and we live in the same planet, what hope could we ever have communicating with species that's way above us in terms of intelligence, same way as humans are to dogs. We might put up with them for a while, try to learn from them, but eventually racism etc. will catch on, that's the human nature and if/when they start to consume our resources it might be too much. These aliens could even make us like dogs, they'd just take the land and everything we own and make us pets. That would be almost their right as superior life form, same way as humans seem to deem superior intelligence and power as a right to control other animals. They'd start human breeding facilities, they'd start to eat us etc. If there are too much humans they kill some us and maybe eat us, if there're too few humans they'd make us breed.
There still are so many possible outcomes and what aliens even deem as intelligent or if their "intelligence" is something else entirely and their nature, instinct and so on. I at least believe that if aliens really came to this planet and were anything like humans in their nature, we'd be totally screwed.
@WCK619 Breeding is highly unlikely, the same way as, say, dogs and humans can't breed, but sex is still possible, so if you're into that kind of thing... just wait for contact from outer space :)
Camera positionin seems really annoying, it's way too close and you can't see what's coming from below, and without map and no rotating camera it might be hard to navigate unless it's just boring linear levels with nothing but boring button smashing. He said it's failing of the genre and not game itself, but there are good beat 'em up games that take things a bit differently. It is the failing of the game if they can't make it interesting and varied
@June-GS Very limited, not nearly as much options as in many other games. Some basic faces, hairstyles and colors for hair and armor. You can't change your body in any way except color if i remember correctly. I'm not sure if they will put more things in the final version, but at least in closed beta it was very limited. And what I played there wasn't any cool armors either. If character appearance is a really big thing for you, RaiderZ might be a big letdown.
RaiderZ is really good for F2P game. I played quite lot in the closed beta with couple different classes and it's really matter of skill if you manage, not that much about stats. Classes seem balanced enough and it's easy to find the style that suits you because every class can use every weapon. But if you just have the money, I'd really recommend Guild Wars 2 or more action oriented Tera Online(questing in it is really boring though but so it's in RZ). I think they're far better than RaiderZ in terms of content. RZ still manages to stand as a really unique F2P game, if you're short on cash and want to play MMORPG, play this.
@RedLegZeff I bet they'll talk about AI's later, this was about Halo and Master Chief, but AI is in tons of games so maybe they'll cover bigger area later.
"The founders program is a scheme where players can pay money up-front to get exclusive in-game items and early access to the game on July 17." That "scheme" makes it sound a bit negative, like it's a hoax or something :D
