Interested in character info as well but great information so far!
Yeah, I went through Baron, Zero, Jack and Leo before I started whoring out Durga because I liked him so much lol. One of my friends picked the Ice Queen and Nikolai and one point, and I saw someone use Mathilda. Pretty much every character got used by someone but it’s hard to tell what they’re doing if you haven’t used them yourself and because of how chaotic it can get. Anyway I’ll try and feed you guys the character specifics I remember, but I’m gonna take a break first.
I am beyond jealous dude
GomuGomu I also got to try it out at Eurogamer. Game was alot more fun than I expected. Rep’d Leo most of the time I played it. When they said they plan to get 16 player fights going on my mind just went “OH GOD” after seeing how chaotic 4 players can be.
That 16 player mode is probably the Battle Royale mode
Good stuff, bro. If we had the rep system back, you’d be getting some positive rep.
Gah! This game sounds like it’ll be so much fun. I just hope all the chaos won’t be off-putting, since it looks there would be a lot of situations where you’d die in lame ways. Oh well, I guess it would come with the territory. 'Gotta embrace the “anarchy”, if you will!
Looking forward to smashing 'foos with Big Bull and Mathilda.
Well, as I said, they said in an interview that they will have a 1-on-1 mode.
Oh, I must have missed that post. A 1 vs 1 mode? Hmmm. A game like this seems almost tailor made for big multiplayer brawls, so I am not sure how good a 1 vs 1 mode would be. I imagine that some characters would be great for multiplayer brawls, but absolutely suck for 1 vs 1. I imagine Big Bull being like this. Which sucks for me. :[
Of course, there’s no way to tell if that’ll be the case right now, but that’s the impression I get. I’ve still got faith in the Platinum dev. team, though. I’m sure that they’ll give us a stellar product regardless of the modes.
I saw one guy walk off in frustration because he couldn’t handle the madness, this game will get people salty. When people start ganging up on you, attacking and throwing you from behind it gets pretty difficult to defend yourself if you’re not constantly moving around. Then again you can just mash 360 attack to get yourself some room, and you don’t have to worry about gang rapes too much because people switch alliances quickly lol. If you got a rage user on your ass though, YOU ARE DEAD, you can use the invincibility of 360s to waste time but eventually you will die to the beserker combo if you don’t run. It’s too much fun.
When I was playing, I was seperating people so I could fight 1 on 1 and if it got into a big group I’d move out and start attacking slightly outside the group. People are so set on revenge when someone attacks them, that it’s not uncommon to get the other three people fighting each other while you run off to get weapons unnoticed lol. At one point I got the satellite laser and killed everyone at once while they were fighting each other. In that round I went 16 - 1 on the scoreboard.
The scoring system is good too, it’s not based only on kills but what you do in the match. Kills get stolen regularly so it’s a good system to combat that. Killstreaks, item usage, type of kills are some of the few types of additional points you get at the end of the round. So you can finish last initially, but then jump to first when the final score tallys up.
From what I saw, no one looks bad, 1 on 1 fights usually to come down to who the smarter person is. I never lost a 1 on 1 if the other person wasn’t equally skilled unless I had low life or they were in rage. When the round starts, the four players are split into two groups and put opposite ends of the map, so you start 1 on 1 anyway.
Big Bull can dominate groups with his double throw as well and his attacks have suprising range. I was trying to get away from him at one point and it just wasn’t happening. I wouldn’t worry at this point.
That all sounds awesome gomu
Yeah plus if you keep dying alot the game offers a little help with the Fury mode which uber powers you up. My very first go with Leo and I was getting my ass handed to me and the Sega rep then noted that I had a full Fury bar charged up and should press L3+R3 which I did, a DBZ looking powerup started and my attacks became this uber kick of death and started taking people out quickly. Sadly I can’t find a video of it in action right now but the game looks hella fun.
Not sure if you could run events for it without knowing how it all works/multiplayer options available or if it’s really viable that way but we’ll see. Still should be a blast online for a silly half hour.
There’s several videos of the berserk mode already actually. So does the meter fill up just when you take damage or does doing damage fill it up as well?
I would hope it’s a blast for way longer than just a half hour =/
From what I saw, if you keep dying without getting in a kill your bar will fill up alot quicker, but it does gradually fill by other means. When I only died twice, I only managed to get in 2 Fury’s the whole match.
As for the half hour thing, thats just an opinion from what I played. Which is ofc a very limited demo build right now. It was the same stage and about 6 characters only… I’m pretty sure the full game if done well, will have a long lasting online multiplayer but it’s gonna need something to work towards, like perks or unlockables/levelling up mechanic to be a longing experience.
DAMMIT. Looks like Anarchy Reigns has indeed been delayed til’ July:
According to Gamespot. Too bad, I was looking forward to starting 2012 with a bang. Oh well. If it’s to add new content, guess I really can’t be too mad.
Oh ho? That’s quite the small tease their throwing in there. Also shout outs to Platinum for actually delaying and putting in more work instead of releasing the game in January and then DLCing the features in later. Also…July eh? That’s a month after E3. That could easily be a set up for surprises. Fingers crossed on a certain glasses wearing hair witch.
Awww, this game’s being delayed? Dammit, that sucks.
Oh well, it’ll give Platinum games more time to make this game into something even better. Hopefully more characters are revealed, I don’t even care if they’re guest characters. While I like the roster so far, it wouldn’t hurt to have a few more original character designs make it into this game…hell, maybe even a few more wacky modes like the soccer mode.
Yes, take your time, I’ll wait.
Don’t mind waiting anyway because I need to get Uncharted, Saint’s Row, KOFXIII and Assassin’s Creed. More than enough games to hold me down.
That’s smart imo…
Rehype their game back up during E3…
It kinda fell off the radar…
bumped for subbed
People have been saying this game only really got delayed cuz Platinum wants to put most of their time into Revengeance. I wonder how true those sentiments are.
