Having a slow moving vehicle in your multiplayer FPS certainly is a bold choice.
Should be fine for the PVE gameplay.

Yes and you have a little AI squad that you issue commands for. I am guessing you can mod your cycle with different loadout for tc.
I would much prefer a Supreme Commander style mech lumbering around but the devs have gone for a floaty grav cycle thingy.
It is a little odd, since they want to push a more tactical feel, yet restrict how much you can actually see.
Nah fam, this ain't it.
As others have said, wow that UI is cluttered. We get it the grav-cycles look cool and set your game apart but they take up a lot of the game screen. I bet it'd be nice in 21:9 but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that's anything but an outlier. At best it's something you ignore after 10 minutes, at worst it is distracting and taking away real estate for things you need to be looking at. It's a problem I've been having with a number of fps games, particularly Destiny - the gun models can take up like 1/4 of the screen in some cases & this dials that up further.
It's a floaty fps with AI buddies that you can command. That's not anywhere near as revolutionary as Lehto and the game's PR have been suggesting. Oh well, i hope they do well but it's definitely not for me.

Not gonna lie, this game probably wont survive long enough. The styling is very bland, it does not stand out. Because the concept sound cool and the game-play looks decent enough.

It has a single player component too and the multiplayer allows for players to dip their toes in when they want and not feel left behind by OP players, but yeah, I don't know about the longevity of the multiplayer here.
Maybe it plays better than it looks.
The cycle is way WAY too big too. Not just in the first person view, but like the actual model outside in the world. It looks like it barely fits in there. It's just awkward.
I thought you'd have like, one guy on the cycle and then your buddies on the ground. But instead it being THIS is....baffling to me.

I think that the game would have much better game feel if they kept the core idea but maybe with a normal leader ground unit and/or maybe a mech or something,
It just that vehicle thing is not doing it for me, looks awkward and not as smooth as it should be.
Thank god they have SP mode that they can fall into because that didn't look too hot tbh.

It really doesn't make any sense at all to me as far as design decisions go.
What a bummer. I love scifi stuff so had it been a pure, squad-based FPS game (like Halo but with AI pals) or a pure squad-based RTS game (almost like a RTwP CRPG, actually) I would've been so in, but this sort of a hybrid between the two with the floating, floaty bike that doesn't seem like it's gonna be any fun to control seems kind of awful to me. I'll check out the beta when it happens and if the story seems good and they do a fair amount of streamlining the game between now and the release I might check it out for the campaign, but I'm gonna keep my expectations veeeery low.
I love the way Americans say 'Vehicles'. It's like their pronunciation around the word 'Mirror'. Pronunciation difficulties on a National scale :-D
Jokes and casual observations aside, game looks great! I love Mr Lehto's work on the halo series.

I think it can work better if you the player are way higher in the sky rather than being on the "ground" with your troopers.
Good to hear a beta is planned. It's a curious style for multiplayer but I'm excited to give it a go.
yeah this, the game look interesting but look at this:
70% of screen covered by giant weapons and giant arms, you really can't see a damn thing... hope you can do something about this on PC at least.
This is definitely the biggest problem I see for me personally. The first person model is just too damn large, not to mention the UI as a whole is pretty clunky. On the other hand I'm actually super down for the concept but it's really something I need to get my hands on as it's kind of hard to get a feel for how the game plays with this footage. I also have a feeling the tighter city maps won't be where this games MP shines, I really liked the look of the more open rural style map that was in the actual trailer.yeah this, the game look interesting but look at this:

Well, my hopes were that players would be able to control characters on foot - with how recent Halos fare, seeing those large open areas with such a beautiful art style, many different units and a destructible environment - that got me really hoping, so obviously I'm little let down by the fact that it's only those hoover bikes - but however hectic the multiplayer gameplay looks, I'm sure that single player will be more smoothly paced - and I'm all about that campaign. And I think that your squad being all unique characters with their own stories sounds very interesting.
Also hard agree on how awfully limited the view is, first thing that popped into my head while watching this. They totally need to reduce all that clutter by like 60%.

Don't you bring that up. It's stilla a sore spot for me. MAN I enjoyed that game :(
Could you link to the original source instead? This one just cut out the content others worked for and uploaded it themselves. Here's the Stream with a Timestamp (1:47:23): https://youtu.be/DZ2uNm1XQWg?t=6443
Gotta go for that cinematic 24fps! Or for a nostalgic N64-inspired throwback, 15-20fps! ~Silky~
Looks interesting at least. Titanfall Titan combat meets RTS. Looks like it might run into the Battleborne / Evolve issue of not knowing what the hell is going on from all the effects combined with the viewpoint.
I agree. It's a shame Era is so damn negative about nearly everything these days.
Edge have seen a much bigger chunk of the game, including the SP, and they really loved what they saw, so that sounds really promising.
The fact that your on this gravicycle the whole time is a really bizarre decision. Especially because the studio was just pushing this brand new character. I'd like to see him not behind a big machine the whole time.
I mean, Edge probably payed a shit ton of money to get exclusive first look and news on the game, I seriously doubt they would then proceed to shit all over it.

Edge doesn't pay money for previews, nor are their previews always positive.
Fair enough. There's no real way of knowing if that's true though in this case unless they've already said that.
