Hard Reset (PC Exclusive shooter)

[Carfax83]

Don't know if anyone ever posted a thread about this game, but it's an upcoming PC exclusive shooter from Polish game studio Flying Wild Hog (I think some of these guys were responsible for the original Witcher), and features a cyberpunk theme.

Trailer.

Looks like it could use PhysX, as there's lots of particle effects in the trailer, and the explosions look awesome!

Indeed, there is already a thread on this. The topic title isn't very descriptive, which is probably why you didn't notice. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2178290

Just because most PC non-exclusive games are bad doesn't mean I'll be excited in a just because it is PC-exclusive. There's been plenty of bad ones released over the years.

The gameplay looks like Quake 2, which is enough for me to be excited.

Looks like it was designed for a console. The guns it showcased didn't require any precision aiming at all. Just point and shoot.

All guns are point and shoot, how more precise can you get then that?

Really have no idea what you are talking about, care to elaborate?

Every gun in the trailer either explodes or aims for you. The lightning gun looks like it hits the enemy even if you're not aiming at it. RPGs and grenade launchers don't really require any aim, you just shoot them in the enemy's general direction.

I think you need to take a closer look at the trailer. There is a tri barrel machine gun, a shotgun (which he shoots at a couple barrels which blow up), some sort of plasma ball thing, and your aforementioned lightning gun. Besides, even if your observation of the trailer was accurate, do you not realize essentially every classic PC shooter features a rocket launcher and grenade launcher?

This is what I'm seeing as well. I don't like to pre-judge a game before playing or seeing more of it, but what they showcased in the trailer looked very arcadish. Oversized weapons that you just point in the general direction of the enemy and blast away with.

Maybe there's more to it than that....just have to wait and see when more gameplay footage comes out.
