Avalanche Studios announces Generation Zero [PS4/XB1/PC, co-op MP, self-published, 2019]

[Toumari]

This is their self-published game. Can be played alone or with 2-3 friends in co-op multiplayer.

Experience an explosive game of cat and mouse set in a vast open world. In this reimagining of 1980's Sweden hostile machines have invaded the serene countryside, and you need to fight back! Go it alone, or team-up with up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer. By utilizing battle tested guerilla tactics, you'll be able to lure, cripple, or destroy enemies in intense, creative sandbox skirmishes.

Trailer:

 

[kami_sama]

Looks great. And the 80s vibe is right up to my alley.

 

[Savantcore]

Interesting! Always up for some co-op shooty bang. 'Hostile 1980s Sweden' sounds fresh as well.

 

[Silky]

Open world Sweden?
With friends?
Shooting robots?
In the 80s?

So it's just Red Dawn but without the dumb shit, cool. I'm in let's go

 

[Captain Arabia]

 

[PlanetSmasher]

First person. No thanks, Avalanche.

 

[Nirolak]

Hey, it isn't a zombie game. This is a notable improvement over expectations.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yea alright sure why not
Need to see more

 

[Lakitu]

Horizon prequel?

 

[SuikerBrood]

Loving the music already.

 

[Igniz12]

I hope this game has an equally as satisfying feeling of shredding robots as Binary Domain.

 

[Toumari]

I was out as soon as I read it being multiplayer, sadly. Soundtrack seems good though.

Edit: Nevermind. Seems it also has single player. Yourself or 2-3 other people.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Oh yes, Im totally into this

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Nice. I wonder if it is like Vermintide?

 

[Patitoloco]

80s Sweden was crazy if they had Metal Gears walking around their forests.

Looks awesome though

 

[LonestarZues]

Setting looks interesting.

 

[Deleted member 15538]

Great setting, no co-op shooters for me unfortunately.

 

[Dussck]

Generation Zero Dawn

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Should be a really fun co-op game... hopefully.

 

[Zelas]

Sandbox-ish co-op shooter sounds cool.

 

[Aokiji]

Can you play it singleplayer tho

 

[Sir Guts]

Wished it was TPS but since it's co-op I'll take that

 

[SageShinigami]

First person. No thanks, Avalanche.

This.

Man, Avalanche is putting in work. Not on anything I'm interested in, but still! I'm impressed. Hope this does well, even though I'm wondering who it will appeal to.

 

[Dr. Caroll]

Excellent vibe. One concern I have is that robots can become a rather stodgy enemy in a game like this.

 

[RumbleHumble]

So is this Destiny or is this Vermintide/L4D?

 

[Ausroachman]

Interesting setting and enemy, look forward to seeing more

 

[saenima]

So pretty much multi focused. Shame.

The setting is cool tho

 

[Neutra]

Looks a lot like Simon Stalenhag's concept art.

 

[Superman2x7]

I thought we were over the shooter fatigue, a other shooter

 

[Brandon]

Boston Dynamics?

 

[hydruxo]

That opening shot with the walkman reminded me of the Netflix show Dark

This game looks pretty cool. Definitely going to keep an eye out for it.

 

[USF]

Thought PC game only

 

[Nirolak]

Hope this does well, even though I'm wondering who it will appeal to.

The four player co-op audience for games like this has been pretty big historically, even on the indie scale.

For example, Vermintide 2 went over a million in like a week or so, and PayDay 2 moved something like 8 million copies on Steam before going free.

 

[Toumari]

It seems it does have single player.

Go it alone, or team-up with up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer.

[Bushido]

Love the vibe and music, definitely interested.

 

[Phamit]

I thought the trailer was rather boring

 

[Bennibop]

For a real 80's feel Johnny Five should have been the protagonist!

 

[Mecha Meister]

Wow this looks really cool! I love robots!

 

[NotLiquid]

Hmm I wonder if that's Mitch Murder's synthwork. He's been doing a bit of work for games lately and given the developers + the territory it kinda lines up. Doesn't really sound like his composition style though.

Was just about to post this!

 

[AndyVirus]

Either this is a smaller title or the Walmart leak about Just Cause 4 was fake.

"Half-Life. Horizon. And Stranger Things.

These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect co-op game."

They are working on this and RAGE 2. I suspect maybe another studio is working on Just Cause 4?

I stand corrected. Guess this is gonna kill it. Is Avalanche moving towards becoming a standalone developer?

Funny enough, I got a Stranger Things but with robots vibe from it.

 

[litebrite]

Hope the characters have Swedish accents.

It's a smaller self published game. I imagine it will be like $30 or $40 and digital only.

 

[Bishop89]

Looks cool. As long as I can play this solo, I'm interested.

 

[Stuggatz]

Great music. Fighting giant robots looks like fun. Adding it to the list.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

At least they're getting paid, yeah. Shame this is yet another one of their games I won't be playing, but one day they'll pay off the glory of Just Cause 2.

One day.

I hope.
