- Wanted to talk about Echo Point Nova because it is RAD AS ALL HECK. Also this is hopefully a way to talk about games and stuff outside of the usual sphere of what you might usually expect from me so yeah, appreciate you giving it a shot if you're watching this kind of video.

Their previous game Severed Steel was absolutely amazing.
I did not like that game at all lol
The dev, btw, is mattwla, who did Severed Steel before, which currently is at -90% on stream
Ah, so that's why it looks like Severed Steel.
Just impulse buyed it, thanks fam
Looked good picked it up cheers
Negative 90? Must be a bad game then.
This is satire ofc.
It's like a cross between Unreal Tournament and Titanfall, and I'm here for that.
Saw some unreal tournament in there myself
If Vanquish was a first person shooter, it would probably look like this.
But with real levels.
Vanquish is a cover shooter
Holy shit that footage is nuts. After Doom Eternal raised the bar for shooters, I couldn't even comprehend what was next for the genre.
Looks like the answer is mobility shooters IN THE SKY.
I wouldn't say it raised any bars.... more like snorted the line.
This looks like it has shades of Unreal Tournament or even Tribes in its DNA. Absolutely radical.
Bought this game the day it came out, 10/10.
Edit: Watched this video the minute it came out, 10/10.
I took a solid long poop 10/10
Totalbiscuit mentioned
God rest his soul
Someone FUCKING FINALLY made a single player game inspired by Tribes series... ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
Tribes had a jet pack and skiing. This has none of that.
Looks insane! Hoping there is a mod community that develops around it too
The point you made at the end is very true. AAA gaming has boiled down to the same shit over and over to appeal to the widest audience possible. You want to play a specific style of game? I can almost guarantee there is an indie game that fits that niche perfectly.
was waiting for him to say it was a doom total conversion
Wishlisted after sixty seconds of gameplay footage
Literally just played and completed Severed Steel the day this game released and I want it baaaad. Ain't got the money in the budget for that however
There is a demo on steam that's been tiding me over
Reminds me of the skiing in Tribes 2 turned up to 11
Isn't it the one from Severed Steel devs? Looks pretty hype
I would have liked if there was artifact, out there weapons
I mean, you are defending ancient and forgotten ruins, a couple of magic staves or something lile that would be only natural
This would make me throw up in VR
Loved this!
Interesting game for sure, but the sterile, generic look to everything makes the game look pretty soulless. The environments are fine, a solid 6/10 but the above average look to the setting is completely ruined by the UI, and the character designs that look like they came from a game called Shoot the Bad Men. Those mecs and airships are a crime against steel and brass. The player character looks like the default UE character model. I'm not a stickler on fidelity but art direction is very important to me. This game just looks off. Looking into Severed Steel, I see the devs have a far greater grasp on that neon /clean corporate look. Severed Steel also seemed to have a greater grasp on character design with the player character, it's okay but still not a winner. The arm cannon really doesn't look good for one. Way too much black on the outfit. The enemies do leave a bit to be desired still however. I'm watching this on a big 4k tv and the enemies in both games enemies are not very distinct or quickly recognizable unless they are glowing or have a massive object strapped to them ( sometimes a mix of both a sword and glowing shield for example). You can look at the silhouette of any enemy in Halo and you'll know what it is. The same for Doom, Quake, Blood, Duke Nukem, Cultic, Dusk, I could go on but the point still stands. It's a shame I think this will hold the Devs back, because many people truly judge a game its looks without even the chance grasping the gameplay. Gameplay being the main seller here. They need to truly look into bettering their character designs.
Might I suggest you check out: Madness Project Nexus, Severed Steel, OTXO, Distance.
It's a bit like quake from some of the level geometry and the general speed.
It's nothing like Quake. Quake gives you a sense of progress and there's strategy built into it - lots of action but you get time to "take a breather" and think about how you'll overcome the next obstacle. What's the progress here? You're just constantly moving and jumping around randomly.
You sold it to me
best game in a long time, most innovative game in a long time.
🤣
Cover an RTS game and my life is yours!
Can someone please explain to me the concept of cosmetics in first person games? I really don't get it... Like, i understand gun skins or like... Gloves or something since you can see those but why something like HATS for example?
There is 4 player coop/pvp option. So here it's actually makes sense
I enjoy knowing that I am humiliating enemies while wearing a Wizard Hat even if I cant see it.
These doom modders really know how to get the best out of GZDoom
Heck it's not game for me. That's what the hack it is.
not my type of game, I'm allergic to all fast paced online shooters thanks to concord
It's not online?
@@Player-10woooosh
@@testentity1.0gaming95it has multiplayer but its still not one of those live service games
@@Soreloser1 Tf you mean "whoosh"?
@@testentity1.0gaming95 it means the commenter above was making an obvious joke and it's gone over the other person's head (and possibly yours as well). Obviously Concord is/was not a fast-paced game if you watched any of the movement in gameplay VODs; the run speed looks the same as the walking speed with most of the characters
I miss playing Tribes. This looks like I may get a tiny bit of that feeling back.
Further proof Borderlands needs to step up its game HARD
Loved how on-point that ending rant was. Stopped playing MP Shooters yonks ago and I couldn't be happier.
It's like a curated mess of mods. As if you put Doom in Minecraft in Garry's Mod and were playing as Iron Man but as an actual game that takes advantage of all of these things while giving you incredible creativity in gameplay.
It's awesome, cool skateboard riding hot dog is a very apt description.
The way you slide around makes the movement look a bit like Turbo Overkill. This is obviously a good thing
Had a lot of fun with the demo, haven't played the official release but I'm absolutely sure this game goes hard.
Subway Surfers + COD Advanced Warfare
Y'know all those twitter threads where there's footage of what looks like a guy having a seizure in Call of Duty while someone says "The children yearn for quake"
This is like someone turned that exchange into an actual game. Call of Duty style gunplay with just absolutely ludicrous movement shooter mechanics.
this game looks like certified \m/
It's very fast and very pretty but otherwise it looks like a completely confused mess of a game. If you're having to constantly keep moving, where's the opportunity to think about the next strategy?
This is the problem with today's media, it's the same with many modern movies - throw special effects and action at you constantly but not give you any breathing space to think about what you're watching or doing in case you realise how shallow it all is.
Doom 2016 was exactly the same - constant visceral gore, no time to think about what you're doing, it wasn't a Doom game in the true sense.
A game with no explosive self damage is a game meant for Icarus.
This really is the movement shooter dreams are made of. Yeah it might not have tightly designed levels like Doom Eternal or Ultrakill, but what it offers is open ended sand-boxy challenges which is perfect when you have this sort of mobility. It's not worried about anything other than giving the players freedom and fun, the simplicity of that is beautiful. My only real complaint with the game is the generic look of everything. I do wish it had a more distinct art style but it's gameplay more than makes up for it!
You know I laughed when some of my friends compared you to Totalbiscuit but that's honestly what this feels like right now
Bought this game today and I have been absolutely loving it. And for those who pick this up, fuck those turrets on the first boss, you know what I mean.
Im getting motion sick watching this on my phone. Wishlisted
what the heck is... wtf is... how very biscuity of you! ;)
Thanks for reminding me this game exists, got it on my wishlist now. Looks like a blast.
Severed Steel is one of my favorite games. The demo for this got me hooked. It's like this dev is making games specifically for me.
Am I the only one who sees an omage to the late great Totalbiscuit with the name of this future series? Thanks Icarus!! Keep doing what you love brother!
Echo Point Nova is the ultimate mobility shooter
Glad to see I was justified putting this on my wishlist!
Bought this game right after seeing this. The movement is sooo good, and the pc requirements arent even that demanding, its amazing
I was sold just from the regular gameplay but then you showed off the literal level-sized bosses that are also race tracks
Fortunes Runs would be a great fit for this series, that game is so unique and had so little coverage.
could you talk about Temporal Assassin again? its got a lot of updates since your vid a few years ago and is still underrated!
It has almost no story but this is one of those games that I just don’t care about the story all that much so it doesn’t matter because the gameplay is ultra good
I've legitimately spent more time with the demo for this than any other FPS this year. I hardly ever buy games on day one but you'd better believe I was all over this one the instant it went on sale. So far the full game is pretty much the demo with a few tweaks here and there but I have zero complaints about replaying those same areas-the game world is so incredibly open that I rarely find myself taking the same route even from a respawn. This'll almost definitely be my game of the year.
Thank you for sharing your passion ❤
fucking awesome is what it is
WTF is??? Brings me back.
I see you're using Dystopika as your signoff background!
I love it. Cyberpunk city building by way of zen garden. Might have to do a WTH on it too.
This looks soo smooth
This looks cool.
