The tactical shooter genre is dead, and never coming back.
>>289013514
isnt rainbow six seige gonna be basically that?
basically
have you seen R6 siege? It was unfortunately the last hope and it is now kill
video games are dead, who cares
>>289013686
No. The trailers make it out to pretty much be a CoD style arena shooter with a destructive environment gimmick.
Rainbow Six Siege looks perfect quite cryin dumbass
>>289013514
>dat cult level
>>289013840
Trailers generally show the most exciting action parts of games
Insurgency is pretty tacticool
>>289013995
check out the alpha footage
Blame cod kiddie s for ruining the market. No one has the patience for it.
>>289013995
There is a 40 minute gameplay video out.
The destruction looks neat, and it looks about as fun as a modern CoD-style shooter can be, but it simply isn't a tactical shooter at all.
>>289013514
Maybe you should have bought Rainbow Six Las Vegas years ago
>>289014150
Doesn't seem CoD style fast
>>289014328I didThe multiplayer was fun
But it wasn't a tactical shooter
>>289013686
RS: Seige is basically if you took Counter-Strike and merge it with recent Battlefield. Since it's all multiplayer, tactics are more about making a route to the objective (and back out where applicable) and not getting your team killed. But that doesn't make it a tactical shooter at all besides the Rainbow Six getting a pre-match time to survey.
>>289014360
No, its not quite as fast as CoD, but it is still a far cry from something like Rogue Spear or Swat 4.
>>289013514

You may as well have just mentioned Call of Duty, the new Star Wars Battlefront game, Unreal Tournament 2015, and Mario Kart.
The big wigs in the AAA companies water down their games and spread them extremely thin so as to cover as wide of an audience as possible.
Niche games are a riskier endeavor, and there's no need to take risks when you can practically guarantee a massive ROI on a safe action FPS.
It's up to the smaller companies to cater to niches like this. No AAA company in existence would dare make a game like Pillars of Eternity, yet Obsidian gets it crowd funded in no time and it becomes the #1 top seller on Steam. The market for games like this exists, it's just not worth the risk to try and capture it. to these companies.
I have never, ever played a Rainbow Six game
Is there a certain order I should go in?
>>289013840
I don't really get that vibe from them at all
>>289015059
start from the first and go on
>>289013514
UMMMMM EXCUSE ME???
>>289014947
Insurgency is not a tactical shooter any more than CSGO is a tactical shooter.
Actually, I would argue CSGO 5v5 is more tactical than insurgency.
>>289013840
they don't and you're retarded but ok
>>289015032
I just don't get this.
The fucking Resident Evil Remaster outsold Resident Evil 6, despite Capcom claiming for years that survival horror like that was dead. AAA companies are missing out on so much money. Its almost like some sort of conspiracy to not make good games.
>>289015180
this game was utter and complete garbage
>>289014947
You can absolutely run and gun in those games, with game sense its actually the best strategy as it lets you get great flanks and get insane amount of points
>>289014308
I have a hard time identifying what's missing from it that would make it tactical
if this exact game was released in 2003, it would have been called a tactical shooter
this seems like a problem of an ambiguously defined genre
>>289015208
Thats because your not running and gunning in 5v5 csgo, of course it would be.
WHEN YOU ARE LIKE 20 MAN DEEP IN INSURGENCY ON A SERVER AND NO ONE IS LISTENING OF COURSE IT WONT FEEL LIKE A TACTICAL SHOOTER.
>you people dont think for shit.
Insurgency has a mode where its your squad against a bunch of Durka bots
they will fuck your shit up quick if you aren't operating right, reminds me of SWAT
>>289013514
>Tactical shooting genre
You mean the "Use the lean button more than other games" genre
>>289015180
I played about two hours of that game.
My AI squad team killed me twice, because they open fire and spray the room.
Enemies will just run in circles instead of engaging you.
>>289015180
The epitome of "just fuck my shit up."
>>289014573
Add Ground Branch to that list too
>>289015305
I'd bet the farm that Capcom makes more money from their mobile infinite running Sonic game with microtransactions than they do from Resident Evil releases at this point.
>>289015335
The tactics used in it don't resemble actual battle tactics at all.
The most effective way to win in the video is everyone just going to different rooms. There is no room clearing and coordinated assaults. Its an arena with both sides running around lobbing grenades at each other.
I'm not shitting on it. It actually looks pretty fun. But it certainly won't scratch the SWAT 4 or Raven Shield itch at all.
>>289015180
dont remind me
I kickstarted that shit
the dev was the pinnacle of take the money and run
why the fuck can i not find a copy of swat 4 anywhere that isn't fucking 60$ or more
>there will never be a new, good, socom :(
>>289016014
There is never going to be a SWAT 5. You can pirate it guilt free.
>>289016014
its a oddball
pc game not on any digital distribution
I still have my disks but sadly lost the box years ago, also I never got a copy of the expansion so I kick myself for that too.
>>289015404
So, big maps, little teamwork needed to succeed, no actual real life squad tactics
hmm, doesn't sound very tactical at all. Insurgency is just COD4 PROMOD. Not necessarily bad, just not tactical .
>>289016284
I would say the original insurgency mod was quite tactical. The retail version encourages run-and-gun because its firing mechanics are too forgiving.
>>289015432
Really? Might try that
I just want a game with tiny, suburban house sized levels, with raids that take a couple of minutes at most. Just make it like a real life SWAT raid.
>>289016613
It would be a open world game with randomly generated houses and hostage situations including small scale store and bank robberies
they keep happening one after another and your 6 man team has to respond to all of them
one person has to drive the swat van and all the planing time you have is the driving time to the scene
>>289016613
this please
so annoyed at how both swat 3 and 4 devolve into "just starting shooting and never stop" within four levels. I'm on a level in 4 right now that has literally 30 bad guys in body armor and AK's. this is not a job for a five-man swat team.
>>289016846
OK, you need to stop posting right now. I want this a little too badly.
I cant find it, the video was on RPS, but there was this game, still at alpha stage that was fairly interesting.
Basically it was SWAT versus Terrorists.
SWAT come in from outside into a random generated building.
both team before starting the match are shown the map (SWAT have an outline of the building while the Terrorists see the INSIDE)
They can all point, circle, draw to make up tactics. Then choose from a little arsenal their loadout.
And go.
P.S.
Guess which company has the SWAT right. Hint: Sierra used to have them.
>>289013794
this, lets just move on and enjoy any ges we can play today regardless of the quality
>>289013514
holy shit swat4 still looks pretty damn good for its age
>>289017540
It had a style to it that makes it looks pretty good still
everything was realistic but also slightly animated and smooth looking
America's Army 2 is dead and never coming back.
>>289013514
So is the doge shooter, and arena shooter genres. It's a terrible fate.
>>289017540
>>289017621
of course, when you're playing it the only thing you're focusing on is POLICE, SHOW ME YOUR HANDSthe most wonderful thing about this game is that the "yell compliance" key and the "report dead suspect" key are the same, which often causes you to mistakenly shout at corpses to put their hands up

>>289014308
>>289015335
Hardcore tactic fans want it so your accuracy spread is fullscreen when you take a step, so you practically need to deploy a magical bipod in order to make any shot, which of course means recoil stronger than anything known to mankind.

Game is called Due Process
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Wu0hOSOyA
>>289018626
pretty much, especially because if you hit the compliance key a bunch, it'll actually queue the shouts, so you'll end with something like this:
>door opens
>SHOW ME YOUR HANDS
>suspect opens up, swat team returns fire and kills him
>PUT THE WEAPON DOWN
>walk over to corpse
>GET DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW

Bingo. I wonder, why wont ever try to experiment a bit, take Gears of War 2, considered a "triple A" game right? Well it cost 10 million dollars. That is not a lot to "waste" for a company such as Activision.
Consider if they sell it at 50 dollars and sell a "mere" 500.000, that is 25 millions.
>>289018917

That actually sounds a lot like Due Process, especially the rebuilt generated tiny houses part, but I have no idea of the game will be released at all, and even if it is the graphics might be bare minimalistic
It's rally a nice game since the planning phase takes like 10 minutes for a fight that can be over in seconds
People coming in here arguing with OP by saying new shit is tactical.
Play Raven Shield or SWAT. That is what we mean.

it's also what allows you have a plan at all.
>>289014328
What
Why
I did
That game was bad
That game was COD
>>289017105
yeah imo the early missions are GOAT. The restaurant, the spooky house, the bank...all great and memorable. If I knew how to code multiplayer shit I'd literally make this game but with less bullshit
>>289020125
yes, just learn to use your cameras and guys effectively and the first couple of missions are really great. Just be careful cause your team will fuck up sometimes but otherwise it's a blast
>>289019568
The planning phase in Siege is the first 30 or 40 seconds you get at the start of the match.

Just open Tunngle, get in a room.

Ground Branch is Vaporware. I've been watching it since 2008 and I doubt John will be able to get the amount of money he needs to make it the quality product that we all want. At best, it'll have an Insurgency level of polish which isn't too bad, but not the grand successor to Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon that we all want. It's an issue of money and manpower.

I don't think the future weapons have made it more attractive for casuals. Most people don't even know the difference and just want to play Arma 3 life/Battle Royale/Wasteland/Breaking Point because they saw their favorite youtuber/twitch streamer play it. Thankfully RHS is picking up the slack, but their configs are pretty bad. They have great artists, but the vehicles are plagued with easily fixable issues
>>289015696
>The tactics used in it don't resemble actual battle tactics at all.
Neither does Swat 4 when you get into multiplayer.
>The most effective way to win in the video is everyone just going to different rooms
Same in Swat 4. At most, you just need 2 people with each other so one can cover your flank in case some retarded tango AI broke and they run around the map.
>There is no room clearing and coordinated assaults.
There was definitely coordinated assaults and room clearing, but I'll admit they were weak. Hopefully, we get to see more about how it works in the upcoming months.
Also, do you know if Swat 4 is dead? I dropped it once the serverlist died.
>>289019105
Wait, did he actually kill 4 people? Holy shit, I thought the kills were spread out over the T side.
>>289013686
All the recent gameplay coming out of their event looks terrible. Team mate outlines through walls, +100 everytime you get a kill, wall hack heartbeat sensors, and giant ass hitmarkers have ruined it.

That's been up for YEARS. The last noteworthy thing Novalogic has done was suing Activision over the Delta Force logo in MW3 since Delta Force is not a unit officially recognized by the US Army and Nova apparently owns the trademarks of the logo
I always hear everyone going on about how SWAT 4 is GOAT, but I never really liked it all that much.
SWAT 3, however, is fucking god-tier, especially with the last resort mod.
>>289028119
what other games?
>>289028575
David left because he needed a job that paid more. He's still on very good terms with the Dev team and still does Skype meetings with them as an Advisor. There's a bunch of other former Zipper staff that is working on it and will keep it true to his vision. However, this will probably be pretty low budget, so temper your expectations. The SOCOM games were 2nd party Sony games, so they received a fair budget compared to this independent project. Alpha/Beta is expected to come out within a month and they've been doing weekly updates
>>289019568
Movement in Rainbow Six games, especially the older ones, have been pretty fast in PvP. This actually looks slower because in the old games, you could run around everywhere with your gun up and that's what everyone did. The real tactics came in SP/Coop or private matches.
Lets say I wanted to make a SWAT style shooter in Unreal 4. What would be some things that you would like to see?
>Ghost Recon 2 is rotting in 6th Gen
Shit hurts man
>>289013514
why did the genre die anyway?
i remember this game went to my hand from a few friends when i was like 12yo and everyone used to play it quite often... also, rainbow six vegas 2 was a success.
so i can't really see why did this kinda unique genre died
I played 200 hours of Arma 3 but I have to say it's shit and I feel cheated of my 50 europoors. It's painfully obvious that the game is running on an engine from 1994 ago being held together with chewing gum. The community is ass, everyone just wants to play Wasteland (DayZ for casuals) Epoch (GTA with zombies) or Altis Life (autism for autists)
The game released like 2 years ago and only NOW are we getting deployable bipods. Really. And the guns are all awful. No such thing as tactical reloads in Arma 3. Not to mention the bullshit body armour where everyone can take 3 7.62 NATOs into the face and not bat an eyelid. Developers still haven't fixed basic issues from Arma 2 like the fucking camera being able to ghost through walls and proximity based item activation. They called this farce of a game a finished product.
I put a lot of hours into Arma 3's infantry simulation side, at ~30 FPS the whole way I might add, but I wouldn't recommend this shit game to anybody
>>289014790

>not running mods

>>289030886
I think it's because it can't be translated to consoles well, and consoles are where the dosh is. And there's not too much creative freedom to be had with a realistic sim game. There's not that much blockbuster action when your whole squad goes down by Allah Adam shooting your shit through a thin wall.
>>289013514
You're in my spot, sir.
>>289030657
Weapon collision with the enviroment. Basically if a weapon barrel is touching a wall, have the weapon lower. This way, people can't shoot through solid objects because the top of their head is sticking out of cover. Of course this assumes that you've programmed the game so that bullets come out of the barrel and not out of the eyes of the player like most FPS. This also helps with gun balance because short barrel weapons will have an advantage in close quarters
>>289031320
It's actually a pretty big dick move. Guys in the unit made that logo and showed it to the devs at Novalogic. They took it and trademarked it for themselves because the Army can't officially recognize it. And now they're just sitting on it. Is Novalogic even a business entity anymore?
>>289031326
I did run mods. And I played frequently on a 40 player coop server before I had enough of the framerate issues. But my issues are with the game itself. No amount of content mods can fix the shitheap that is Arma 3.

but the two things could coexist.
i remember playing modern warfare along with rainbow six and no one died...but was before every minor to major company doing fps games replicating the "we want the call of duty audience" sentence everywhere

it's an engine problem, the game's engine is pretty buggy and lacks optimization and since it's proprietary and those problems were never solved by arma studio they will probably never be fixed - just wait for a new version of it, if possible done from scratch

The staff is a joke m8, lead programmer has only made tablet games. The game will be shit.

They can indeed coexist, but it takes a lot more effort and risk. Risk is a huge factor to making these kinds of games. It's a whole lot harder to keep a wide audience interested in a niche genre like this and to keep them from being frustrated. If no one plays, all that work -- and money -- is for naught. Companies would rather sell a product they know they can make a profit on than something that could end up with them losing tons. Just look at the original System Shock. It is fantastic, very much ahead of its time, tells a great story, has a wondrous atmosphere, etc.. But despite all this, it ended up costing the company money, even after getting nothing but praise from reviews and magazines.
Shit sucks, but that's business.

>why did the genre die anyway?
Ubisoft turned Red Storm into a console action game developer after Raven Shield and none of the competing franchises from other developers ever gained traction.
