Volition's new game just got announced
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfBOHGWsJWQ
>ANOTHER hero fps
>>340168672
It's the next logical step after Dota clones.
>>340168672
The only details I got for it were that it's open world single player and third person where you control all 3 characters in the trailer
>>340168672
fuck this hobby. it's just complete shit now. nothing of worth left.
>>340168397
>We want the Crackdown audience
So its future saints row?
>quippy girl with one liners with an accent that uses two guns
Where have I seen that before?
>>340168994
It's LITERALLY future saints row
There is nothing likable in this.
ok, using a suicide stunt double as an ability sounds nice on paper but they even made that flat and uninteresting.
fuck OFF
I loved Battlefield Hardline (probably my favorite on in the series gameplaywise).
I hope to be pleasantly surprised by this, but at the same time I know this is destined to be dead on arrival. Bummer.
>>340168397
So this is what came of The saint's Row gang after johnny picked the rebirth option?
>>340168994
Wasn't Red Faction Saint's Row's future?
>>340169335
Not really, Saints Row just makes references to it
That literally just gave me cancer.
Haha Cocky Movie Guy who doesn't really care about anything other than geting roles!
Foul Mouthed guy who uses melee weapons and is black and sassy!
Captain Yesteryear who uses old technology when better things exist because muh nostalgia or some shit!
Edgy!
Weird cartoony graphics!
We wish we were Boarderlands!
Grimdark shadows!
Secret shadow gubmint!
We're outside the law!
It's every fucking bad cliche wrapped into one.
AHOY MOTHER FUCKERS
>>340169524
>Haha Cocky Movie Guy who doesn't really care about anything other than geting roles!
Where have I seen that before...
I like the gameplay
>>340168397
>Twin Badass Pistols
>>340168672
Might be 3rd person. But it is going to be a hero shooter. At least they were smart enough to tie it in with Saint's Row unlike Gearbox not tying Battleborn with Borderlands.
>>340169853
It's singleplayer
>make assumptions
>get mad about them
This is why /v/ is shit
>>340168397
<AHOY MOTHERFUCKAS
im died
No shit all the vets at volition left the company if this is what they worked on.
RIP volition
We will remember you for Freespace 2, Red Faction and Saints Row.
>there will never be another game with destruction like Red Faction Guerilla
>>340169671
you take that back right now
he does his own stunts you idiot
I won't even touch this after what they did to Saints Row
>>340169956
>no freespace
FUCK
EVEN COMMUNITY MODDERS IN THEIR FREE TIME HAVE DONE MORE THAN THEM
>>340168397
>no sr5 where they are cops
do they hate my money
>>340169910
I didn't say it wasn't going to be single player.
>make assumptions
>get mad about them
This is why internet posters are retards and need to learn reading comprehension.
>>340169335
It could have been, but THQ's fall and Red Factions' cancellation made sure that wasn't a possibility.
>>340170209
>mfw I am an internet poster
>mfw they are an internet poster
>mfw you are also an internet poster
>>340169209
That's Visceral, not Volition, dinkus.
>lets make a class shooter
>but single player
I think Volition doesn't remember what happened to its previous owner
>>340168979
That's all Volition is good for is making Crackdown clones while MS sits on their hands
>>340170139
>no undercover buddy cop neo 80s saints row five-o
>all those embarrassing attempts at being funny and cool
>>340168397
>That fucking lame music playing when the first hero enters.
>>340168994
I really hope this is a sandbox game and not a PvP shooter.
Volition can make good sandbox titles and I don't want to see them run themselves into another Battleborn
I cringed like 4-5 times.
The tone and pacing of this trailer is a fucking joke. Someone was paid to make this. The musical cues are all terrible, the one-liners fall flat, the action is stiff as hell.
What is this? How did this get made? Is this some kind of super late april fools joke?
>>340170582
>dude look at our cuhraazy multiplayer mode
>singleplayer whats that
I want to like it
but they aren't giving me anything to go on
>announcing game week before E3 because you know nobody gives a fuck
>>340168397
I must be getting really old... Mobas getting popular at all was the first hint, now those hero shooters. ugh..
How about Freespace 3 or Red Faction V instead?
Looks like shit, if it's not coop.
If it's coop it may be at least somewhat fun shit
>>340168397
>No Freespace 3
Why?
>>340170357
Oh Saints Row has become shit over the years. This can burn in a tire fire then.
>>340170774
You're gonna take that Cloud dick and you're gonna like it.
>>340169001
>mysterious femme fatale with a French accent working against her.
Hmmmmm.....
>>340168397
I was expecting a new Red Faction
Fuck this
They forgot to show some gameplay
>>340170989
They said new IP
>>340170303
The Red Faction IP is owned by Nordic Games, Volition is owned by Deep Silver. The franchise wasn't "cancelled"
>>340170802
>mfw this is a side game to cash in on the hero fps craze and they announce Freespace 3, Saints Row Five-O or a new Red Faction at E3
>>340168397
WHY NOT ANOTHER RED FACTION OR FREESPACE RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>340168672
it's the new meme genre
>Osman Timur
Sounds Turkish
>>340170810
I think it's closer to a Borderlands kind of gameplay than an hero shooter. Unless that's what you call an hero shooter?
>>340168397
I guess white guys are only allowed to be comic reliefs or bad guys in 2016
I guess actually presenting them as cool or competent would be sexist and racists nowadays
SCREENSHOTS.
SURPRISE.IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT
>>340168672
We haven't seen any gameplay, but I's say it's more likely to be an over-shoulder shooter.
>>340171503
looks like trash
deep silver has never published one good game
What the FUCK was that ugly art style all about? That animation was fucking atrocious. Holy shit, the worst part is that some of you are probably going to argue that it's a good game when it comes out. FUCK.
>>340171549
>instead of seeing just my gun I can see my toon shooting at things and saying one liners
Have you people lost any sense of fun? At least wait for the gameplay trailer to complain.
I like the Actor guy, it would be need if his "power" would be to come with an infinite supply of stunt doubles.
>>340171503
>we want the one guy who plays battleborn
>>340171671
>my toon
>toon
Get the fuck out newfag.
>>340171671

Those sceenshots are useless. They aren't indicative of anything besides it looks average as fuck in stills.
>>340171754

>this is the taste of a liar Giorno Giovanna

SIMPSONS DID IT
it looks like it's for babies but the harpoon man said a bad word
>>340171098
>The Red Faction IP is owned by Nordic Games
Did they plan to do anything with it?
I want to have fun blowing shit up on something that isn't Meme Cause 3
It's just going to be a slightly slow 3rd person shooter with wacky animations.
It's probably going to be average as fuck and try really hard, except tolerated less than usual because it's a "new" franchise and not just Saints Row.
If you do not get to customize your character, there won't be threads about it past the first week of release.
I see another pair of badass twins if you catch my drift.

What a mess.
>>340171647
Depend of the gameplay. Graphics don't have to look good, their primary function is to carry information and be clear enough for the player to get what is going on. beyond that, it's not important if it's ugly.
>>340172263

>>340172485
>another open world game where you have to take back a city from an enemy organization
Why is everyone so goddamn creatively bankrupt in this fucking industry?
>>340168397
Seems like a fun setting.
Volition is clearly more about over the top shit these days than anything more grounded, so at least they are going with a new IP instead of using Saints Row.
>>340168769
This desu.
>>340172485
I can't tell if this is shitposting or legit and that frightens me
>>340172652
This was a 4 player co-op shooter
>>340172869
its from amazon
In a simultaneous global assault, LEGION has taken control of the nations of the world and the only force left to stop them is MAYHEM. Led by the mysterious and no-nonsense Persephone Brimstone, MAYHEM's elite Super Agents are called to the city of Seoul, South Korea. Led by LEGION Minister Doctor Babylon and his diabolical lieutenants, a nefarious plot is set in motion to build a world-altering device that will grant unrivaled power to the supervillain organization. In order to stop LEGION and take back the world, the Agents of Mayhem will traverse a sprawling urban battlefield from the ground to the rooftops and team up as a super-agent collective to stop LEGION at any cost. Success is far from guaranteed and collateral damage will be substantial, but it's all in a day's work for the Agents. The Agents of MAYHEM (Multinational Agency for Hunting Evil Masterminds) fuse together technology, weaponry and gadgets to create an all-out arsenal of futuristic warfare-and have absolutely no qualms about putting it all to use against their enemies. Featuring an original storyline, trademark over-the-top open-world gameplay, and the look-and-feel of a distinctive superhero cosmos, Agents of Mayhem is a true Volition game. This new IP is a part of the Saints Row universe, sharing certain story elements, symbolism, and design inspiration with the multi-million selling franchise. Building on the unique skill of the AAA studio to continuously surprise, endear, and engage players, Agents of Mayhem represents the culmination of over a decade of open world experience and creativity.
>>340172652
>that original trailer
dont do this to me anon
>>340173007
Everything about that sounds like a copypasta used to shitpost in shillthreads
I don't know whether to be impressed or sad.
>>340172931
no, that was Fuse
>white guy is the bad guy
>evil looking council of white guys
>generic white guy is expendable
wheres the 3 million $ kickstarter to end these tropes?
>>340171448
>I guess white guys are only allowed to be comic reliefs or bad guys in 2016
>white dude is a cooler-than-you kick ass who know he is the best and gives no fuck
>still try to complain about it
It's like some people actually enjoy being pissed off.
To address your point, though, they are all comic relief, from what we can see.
>I guess actually presenting them as cool or competent would be sexist and racists nowadays
Sertiously, though, did you write your complain in advance expecting the white dude to be the Butt monkey, and decided to post it anyway, regardless of how he actually turned out?
what the actual fuck
>Deep Silver and Saint Row developer Volition have announced Agents of Mayhem, a new open-world action game that exists as part of the Saints Row universe coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017.
It's not a class based shooter.
>>340171446
>what you call an hero shooter
Battleborn, Overwatch, Paragon, BattleCry, Gigantic, Paladins.
PvP team based shooters with quite a large selection of heroes with different preset abilities.
A mix of genre between TF2 and DOTA2 types of gameplay, if you will.
>>340173191
>>white guy is the bad guy
The good guy scienteist he kidnap is also a white guy. one of the hero is also a white guy.
>>evil looking council of white guys
It's not an evil council (as far as we know, they are the one paying the heroes to protect their city). We don't even know what their races are, except if you count "old people" as a race.
>>generic white guy is expendable
Uh? No. he is a show off. The one expandable is his stutnt double.
>wheres the 3 million $ kickstarter to end these tropes?
In the same place your ability to make basic cognitive comprehension is too, apparently.
You are just looking at reasons to be angry.
>>340171446
>>340173548
Well apparently it'll be a solo open world grinding game. My bad.
>>340173548
>>340173548
Well, then, I disagree with you. this look closer to a Borderlands kind of shooter.
>>340173727
>The good guy scienteist he kidnap is also a white guy. one of the hero is also a white guy.
hes obviously jewish
>It's not an evil council (as far as we know, they are the one paying the heroes to protect their city). We don't even know what their races are, except if you count "old people" as a race.
they had white features.
>Uh? No. he is a show off. The one expandable is his stutnt double.
who do you think i was refering to?
I refuse to believe this game will have 0 multiplayer interaction.
Even Watch Dogs and Sunset Overdrive have some.
>>340173819
Yeah, you're right.
>>340173749
This is quite possibly the most soul-less trailer I've seen this year
>>340168397
>no customizable avatar
I think it's neat that this is a continuation of the Saints Row series but not having an avatar ruins it.
>>340173819
so, Battleborn
I do think that there's only one "villain" character suggests more of a solo/co-op PvE. Most Dota-like games introduce multiple characters for both sides.
>>340170139
Oh my god... that idea kicks ass. And it will never fucking happen. Fuck...
>>340168397
Oh boy another hero / champion based game. I fucking hate this mode. Thanks mobas.
I'm confused, is the Saints logo at the end just a joke-y reference or is this actually the SR universe in the distant future?
They could of just rebooted Saints Row, but no, they wanted a slice of the hero shooter cake. This will easily flop.
It really does have a Crackdown feel to it.
I bet it's exactly like Crackdown. Maybe it'll be good?
rather just wait for Crackdown 3 whenever that piece of shit is going to rise
>>340170139
The lady who was about to be interrogated in the Saint Cops verse is the same lady leading Not-Overwatch, or she has the same name at least.
>>340170957
Isn't the femme fatal their boss?
>>340174064
Wrong.
Battleborn is a first person moba. You level up to like 20 and then stop leveling and you only do it in matches and shitty short single player per stage.
This looks like Borderlands but Third person.
Levels not limited to 20 and below and doesn't reset. and entirely single player.
>>340173906
>hes obviously jewish
If he was Jewish, he would a producer, not a TV star.
>they had white features.
they had "old people" featue and that'"s all we could make of them. Also, what is your problem with white people running a city?
>who do you think i was referring to?
You mean nitpicking? the game feature several wgood guys white dudes, including one of the main protagonist, but you threw a tnatrum because the bad guy is white.
You sound just like a SJW who threw a tantrum the minute a female character might maybe not be exactly how I want it and who care if I was wrong and quick to jump to conclusion it's my feelings that count.
>>340174162
It is connected to Saints Row, they state as much in the Press release. How and why are questions for later. The Saints must've rewrote history after SRIV
>>340173308
After Saints Row 4 (and Red Faction really) it only makes sense to go full-Crackdown and make a superhero game
I'm cautiously-optimistic
>solo
Fucking dropped.
>sassy latina
>sassy nigger
>full of himself white guy
>trying to stop an evil white man
jesus christ, is the entirety of volition comprised of hoodrats? From fucking saints row to this, their games are all designed to appeal to ghetto trash.
>>340168397
>>340172263
God damn it Volition, just give me Saint's Row 2 again. Go back to making GTA clones.
>>340174085
they had a PSP game about that but it was scraped
>Single-player
It would be retarded of them not to put in co-op.
Like I don't care if it's Saints Row 4's shoehorned-in co-op, just let me be a super hero with a friend or two
>>340174380
>If he was Jewish, he would a producer, not a TV star.
thats not who you were talking about.
>they had "old people" featue and that'"s all we could make of them. Also, what is your problem with white people running a city?
missed the point again. they have the evil council vibe..
>You mean nitpicking? the game feature several wgood guys white dudes, including one of the main protagonist, but you threw a tnatrum because the bad guy is white.
you're not even responding to my argument
>>340174404
The Saints jumped around in time and did things to go their way, even went back to stop Zinyak before he could reach Earth. Unfortunately with the multiverse theory, they manage to stop the invasion in another Saints timeline.
This game does not look fun
Wait, what? Is that the Saints logo at the end? Is this another Saints Row game? I'm confused.
>>340174793
Volition is free to do whatever the hell they want with the universe after 4's story honestly.
>>340174951
All of Volition's series are set in the same universe
>>340168397
>>340174956
Well the world is fucking destroyed and they introduced time travel as well has branching off of whatever choice Gat picked when God Offered him those choices.
>>340174951
>While Agents of Mayhem is part of a larger Saints Row Universe, this is a brand new IP with a focus on a new cast of characters, new gameplay, and a new open world. We do have a few surprises in store for Saints Row fans that we’ll be revealing at a later date!
I'm guessing Johnny Gat being shoehorned in somewhere.
>>340175306
>Not Gat
>Ends up being Kinzie in a mech suit
>>340175306
Just give me that hat and the flaming gatmobile and I'll be happy
>>340168397
I want to like this, since someone whose videos I've watched for years has been working on this game, but I honestly can't finish watching the trailer.
SO BASICALLY THIS IS SAINTS ROW 5, BUT NOT REALLY?
FUCK. I JUST WANT MY SR REBOOT WITH STUPID SHIT AND JOHNNY GAT
>>340175657
If you want stupid shit they don't need to reboot. Each entry was getting progressively sillier. What we want is SR5. What we're getting is psuedo SR5.
Nice Crackdown screenshot
>>340175551
I have a friend that's been working on this too and he's been saying the development's been REALLY troubled.
They've been hemorrhaging a TON of talent and I guess their head designer just up and left a few weeks ago?
>>340176084
>>340175551
Ask for more info
And for fortune's model
>>340168397
>shit graphics
>shit humor
>shit character designs
>heroes
looks like a sequel to battleborn kek
>>340169546
at least it wasn't muhfugga
>>340168769
The entire industry is based on following the leader and overwatch is selling gangbusters. It's like how gears started the 3rd person shooter wave.
>>340175943
I don't know what it is but that artstyle is Battleborn levels of strangely repulsive.
>>340176393
the wave that had like 4 or 5 other third person shooters made and most of them not even in the same Genre.
Sure. Keep talking out your ass.
>>340176454
You probably just find loud colors repulsive.
But Battleborn is legit awful looking even if you brown and bloomed it.
>>340172039
>>340171608
>>340171503
Why do so much of the backgrounds' textures look so flat? Most of them look like they are just plain colors slapped onto the models. I guess to make the players stand out more.
>>340177106
Because it is just a few pieces of concept art slapped on each other.
The explosions are literally copies of each other.
everybody is floating off the ground and places they are fighting in look like concept art.
>>340176752
It's not that. I love the artstyles of something like Overwatch or Splatoon.
Like I said, I can't put my finger on it.
>>340168397
So its a spinoff Saints Row game? style looks like a slightly better handled Battleborn. Would be nice to know something about it gameplay wise to make any real judgement.
>>340173449
don't forget the new DLC Pre-Order character, Johnny Gat.
>>340171671
>What is ME
>>340168397
looks fedorable, /v/ will like it because raunchy humor and colors!
>>340173449
the art is so amateur
>>340168397
holy fucking shit does it sound lame. did they hire the guy from battleborn to write that "dialog"
>>340177578
Is it the celshading look?
>>340177914
*unrealistic.
glad triple A devs are starting to catch onto the fact that a cartoony aesthetic will trump realism for the rest of time
>>340168397
>that horrible audio mixing
>those terrible sound effects
>VA's did a phone in job
jesus christ it's bad just for that
>>340169956
>>340170138
yeah volition as you used to know it is basically dead after mike kulas left
I think after revival are done with overload they might reboot freespace in a similar way they kind of hint toward it in their FAQ and the freesapce writer is doing the story for overload too
>>340168397
The only reason I like this is because I like the whole cartoony look that it seems a lot more games are doing right now which makes me really happy. Game doesn't seem to great, but I've always preferred a cartoon aesthetic over a gritty realistic one.
>>340178284
You can have professional unrealistic art.
This shit just sucks.
Maybe this game is kind of the sequel to SR4's gameplay, and the next actual Saints Row game will be more like the first three? That might actually be a good way of doing things.
>>340178683
I mean, yeah, it looks like a shitty iphone social game, but the only reason you think the art in those games sucks is because the games themselves do
>>340168397
WE WUZ CYBORGZ N SHEET
>>340169671
Johnny Cage is based though
>>340178902
It's the uncanny making comic artstyle into 3d.
>>340168397
Volition pls stop
>>340178902
Thats not true. I can think of quite a few shitty mobile games with great artwork.
Granblue Fantasy and Rage of Bahamut are two that instantly come to mind.
>>340168397
Looks like another generic "hero" shooter with a shitty art style. Publishers really want that Overwatch money.
