I don't like how enemies seems to not react when being hit by guns.

If i can forget that for robot shaped enemies, it is hard to ignore the same for humanoid shaped enemies.

Melee seems way more impactful.

Just caught up on this, I completely forgot about this game since it was announced (5 ?) years ago.

Have to say that latest preview looks really decent. I'm itching for a strong story-focused single player shooter, it feels like ages since we had one.

Someone mentioned that the enemies were bullet sponges. I'm hoping that this preview is from a earlier section and their weapons aren't powered up yet.

This looks really good. Ppl have been speculating where the next bioshock setting would be;they did water and air in the first three games. Having a Russian alt history is cool and it looks like Sci fi and robotics books from the 20s and 30s were the design inspiration.

more bad fps melee combat... eeeh

 

[Fools idol]

Yeah, I feel that. Though if the world and story is good I can live with it.

 

[SmokedMeat]

FPS melee combat can be really good. Hopefully they nail that aspect.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Never heard of this game. Looks fucking awesome. Cool world design/sci fi artstyle, like something straight out of an Isaac Asimov novel. Keeping my eyes on this.

Bullet sponge is something different, it means that they take a lot of damage before dying, and i'm ok with that on hard mode, but let me see some satisfying hit reaction at least.

In the video they seem like extreme bullet sponges. But they are robots also, so it makes a bit of sense.

That's what I mean. Before you power up your ak47 they would be more bullet spongey, like what we see in the preview

 

[Kvally]

Looks amazing. Day one for me.

 

[48086]

What the F! How did this slip under my radar? This game looks amazing! By the 21st, I should be ready to take a break from Hogwarts Legacy for a week or two, knock this out, and then jump back on my broom.

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks really fun, and if you take ideas from Valve you're doing a good job.

I don't think that enemies are gonna start having hit reactions just because you upgrade your weapon, it this is what you meant.

Usually hit reactions are there or are not there, at least in the majority of shooters, you can have bigger reactions with bigger weapons, but even the filthiest machine gun should have some hit reactions when you hit something unless it's a boss with hyper-armour, not sure if i'm clear enough.

But maybe there is some sort of... i don't know, special ammo you find for the robots and those bullet make them flinch a bit more when you hit them?

 

[Rendered Tangent]

I had no idea this was on Game Pass, so unless it is reviewed poorly and is a genuine mess then I'm there.

 

[GenericUser]

So IGN has blood money on their hands, they go right on my list.

 

[oji-san]

New preview looks great.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

When we first saw Atomic Heart there was alot of comparisons to Bioshock. Now that we've actually played it we're surprised to find it's very different in a number of ways.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

So it seems that boss battles will be great, but regular combat a slog with overly high health enemies.

Hopefully, enemies have a weak point that journalists haven't found yet, or there are difficulty settings to make them easier to kill.

Graphics look as high fidelity as the trailers, which is a very good thing.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

It looks really nice, but yeah I'm a little worried that the combat may not be as tight as I would like. I love the design though, it's very visually pleasing. Something I will most likely get eventually unless it ends up being very broken.

 

[Punished Miku]

This sounds significantly better than I was expecting

 

[Magic Carpet]

Glad to hear there is a Story difficulty.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

A 1080 for recommended seems pretty wild considering those graphics. I guess they really have optimized as much as they said.

Yeah, In every single trailer it seems to take ages for the regular robots to die, which is weird since the game seems to throw a lot of them at you.
