The BR genre is also pretty saturated with longer matured games. The regular old shooting has never really been Battlefield's main strength. Sure, it's generally decent and serviceable, but doesn't usually feel as tight and responsive as its competitors. Unless they really step up their game in that regard or find a very unique gimmick, I can't really see it managing to compete with the likes of Apex.

Surprise this game has Titans

It's been a while since I visited the GPU thread but unless there has been some miracle in the global supply and the price/performance of mid range GPUs has increased dramatically in the last 6-12 montha I think I've got to give this one a miss.

Here’s an update: it’s gotten worse lmao

It’s the previously redacted mode. Hazard is it’s own other thing, I think.

That reminds me of this movie I saw where this bus had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over 50. And if it's speed dropped it would explode! I think it was called The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down?

Close it’s actually called Crank and Crank 2: High Voltage.

The trailer is really lacking in detail but the official site has opened up the hazard zone section and it includes a bunch of information. Doesn’t say availability but the trailer implies at launch?

Short version it is Hunt:Showdown but with only two extraction windows and 8 teams of 4 per map. Sounds like extractions occur at 5 minutes and 20 minutes. No character permadeath but you lose your discount bonus for multiple successful extractions and any gear you brought into the round with you.

Arekkz (and I assume other streamers) got to see or play a preview yesterday so I expect more details out shortly. You extract drives (2 extractions per match) to gain currency to buy better weapons/gear/tech.

Aside from the (lower) player count, you're still talking about teams all teams being driven towards the center (final extraction) by a storm (sandstorm/environment gets worse as the match progresses) and only one team gets to leave. It definitely feels very BR and I would have prefer something less fixed and more akin to tarkov where the play space is populated by teams as they come and go and the gameplay of finding/extracting drives forces them into conflict.

As it is right now this has the makings of early Blackout where the end of the match was determined not by the team who played/did the most, but by the team that did the least / conserved the most armor/ammo for the final fight. If the final extraction is clearly stated to everyone, then you can just build a team to sweep whoever is left, steal their drives, and bail.

Is anyone having issues with breakthrough? Everytime I try it it never starts and is just kinda frozen on the beginning screen.

I had that happen once tonight with the group I was playing with. I also had a few CTD. Anyways, aside from that the game was… fun? There was some odd rubber banding here and there but the guns and gunplay felt ok and conquest was varied enough in that you could play the big picture or do fun poo poo with your squad. I’m not entirely sold on the game because holy poo poo it’s janky as gently caress but when the stars align and everything work it’s not only loving gorgeous it’s fun as hell.
