Cor, this looks pretty amazing! I wasn't too sure if I was going to bother with a console this time round, but this might change things.

Yup this looks good. My only concern would be that it's not quite as fun when no one is working together and it turns into straight death match with screaming kids on microphones rather than the smooth coordination like the video.
Pre ordered though smile

Agreed, would be a good game to play with 'acual' friends. I used to play the first Rainbow 6 Vegas regularly online with about 8 friends and that was a much better experience than people shouting down the microphone on COD...

I just read an article on it before, its not just combat orientated its also survival.

You start with limited food,ammo and equipment so you have to work together to scavenge or you ain't going to last very long!

It does look good and I'm hopeful that as it's not going to be on 'old-gen' that they won't have to dumb down the graphics too much as they did on Watch Dogs to maintain frame rate. Will certainly be looking at this closely come release time.

From what I read this is PS4/Xbox One/PC only.

It looks incredible.

holy thread resurrection batman!

There hasn't been a huge amount of official news for the game, but there is a closed alpha test going on and this video contains some information, allegedly from a discussion with a couple of alpha testers..
http://youtu.be/-eZbjxGnjlg

I couldn't be arsed to sit through the whole thing either, luckily someone on reddit summarised it, see below.

From what I understand you generally play online with friends etc, you are alone and do not encounter other players unless you go in to a "dark zone", which is (sort of) freeroam where you may encounter other players.

I guess we need to treat all of this as rumour, but its starting to sound quite impressive if half of this stuff is true.

  • Dark Zones are entered seamlessly, but you must go through a "decontamination chamber" to enter them
  • Player count in Dark Zones will be 50-100 players
  • You receive a meter akin to a Wanted Level which makes you more visible/notorious and easier for players to find you
  • You have the option to find and work with other teams you come across in the dark zones
  • There are dynamic missions (possibly public events) and NPCs in the dark zones
  • Loot found will be "contaminated" and must be decontaminated before you can use it
  • Go bag will be split into 2 sections, Normal Items and Rare/Contaminated Items with higher stats
  • There are colors/shaders you can apply to weapons
  • Social Zones will likely contain over 100 players
  • Alpha testers have noticed game world changing in real time (lighting, walled off areas, closed buildings on the fly by the dev team)
  • Destruction is a big part of the game
  • Skill trees can let you see through walls and with the right weapon and ammo you can shoot enemies through the walls
  • Group AI will be similar to Assassins Creed with a Group Leader that gives a moral/stat buff to surrounding enemies
  • Enemies will be extremely aggressive
  • One scenario described a heavily armored enemy throwing a flashbang and then instructing other enemies to flank the players
  • Enemies have sniper rifles, flash bangs, shields, and flamethrowers
  • Weapon system similar to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
  • Map size could be as large, if not larger than GTAV
  • Alpha Tester area is approximately the size of Downtown Los Santos in GTAV, the rest is walled off
  • Crafting includes scopes, barrels, suppressors, magazines etc
  • Each item quality is graded by Green/Blue/Purple etc
  • Armor and gear (hat, gloves) can be crafted as well
  • The color of clothing seems realistic (i.e. no hot pink agents roaming NYC)
  • Your crafted item is unique to you
  • Gear will be visibly rare to others
  • Controls are receiving very positive feedback
  • Controls akin to Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell Blacklist
  • Online is working well - one tester got kicked out but the game automatically rejoined him
  • Alpha testers saying there's "no reason to worry" it's already running great, better than some fully released games today and shouldn't have any issue releasing on holiday 2015

That all sounds great, i just hope they don't dumb it down for consoles or limit the graphics for PC users so it doesn't outshine the consoles too much.

Just reviving this as I know a few people have pre-ordered. It's just been delayed again until spring 2016 but on the plus side there could well be a beta.

I did wonder if they shot their load too quickly for such a complex and involving game. Glad it's been delayed in a way because then it'll be (hopefully) better and more polished.
