The Finals [PS5, XBSX|S, PC]

[techuse]

Developed by Embark studios with many ex-Dice employees who worked on Battlefield before the franchise was ruined. It’s a F2P 1st person shooter where 4 teams of 3 have to complete an objective. No release date and it’s unclear how representative of a final product this it but it looks incredibly fun. They have finally managed server side destruction. Is this an industry first?

Cloud physics, then cloud AI?

Next step is cloud gamer, you Watch an AI play like you would play the game.

would be popular, as nowadays there's already lots of people watching other (real/virtual) people playing games

Tried this out a bit earlier! Liking what I'm seeing. An Unreal Engine game with essentially no shader comp stutter (in my experience)

That's to be expected considering Repi and the other fine ex-DICE folks take a lot of pride in their work.

Is it NDA protected against posting media?

Is it NDA protected against posting media?

Yeah. It said not to post images or media because it's a WIP and the game deserves to be shown at its best.

You are able to talk about it freely though.

This didn't go down too well for humanity.

Nice to see ex-Dice staff returning to their (ingame) destructive roots.

I could use that in my purchasing decisions.

Me: "This looks interesting and fun!"

Dobwal AI: "I just tried it and sucked at this shit so you would too!"

Hand on impression

 

[Remij]

I was in the alphas. It's a fun game. Already even back then it was in a good place technically. I can imagine by launch it's going to be pretty polished.

 

[Scott_Arm]

The game is currently in open beta. It's very good. Performance is a lot better now.

 

[cheapchips]

What a pretty and stylish game this is.

I'm terrible at shooters though, so feel a bit guilty lumbering random people with me as a team mate.

 

[Karamazov]

nice to see good old Bad Compagny destruction back.

 

[orangpelupa]

I can't play lol, steam has been stuck in spinning steam logo since a few days ago.

I wonder if someone pirates it for private server or something. Want to try to play....

 

[techuse]

The move to UE is unfortunate. The stuttering never stops and makes a game like this unplayable for me. Every bit of destruction causes a stutter. Every grenade that goes off causes a stutter. Nearly any action any player does other than firing their weapon causes a stutter. There is even what seems like traversal stutter despite the map being extremely small.

finally got to play it

• looks great, but confusing to play (it escchews the usual design norms where targets/objectives sticks outs like sore thumb)
• very weird gun feel. as if it was originally designed for mouse control, and simply added with gamepad contrl
• the movements are halfway above cod/bf and below titanfall
