š Ideas to Make Extraction More Cinematic and the World More Alive š¦
The game is GREAT, BUT thereās one small thing that would make it WAY more exciting:
During extraction, at the very last second when our runner leaves the zone, it would be MUCH cooler if our POV suddenly launched upward very quickly, following the beam or with a similar effect.
Right now, it honestly just feels frustrating. All the friends I play with had the exact same reaction. You extract, but in the end it feels like youāre just standing still. Having the sensation of being ejected / escaping into the sky would feel much more satisfying and cinematic. PLEASE change this!
Another thing: I feel like the runners are a bit too humanoid. Donāt hesitate to create characters with more beast-like shapes while still respecting the gameās art direction. Beast-men styles like lizard/feline-inspired designs or other variations could be really cool.
The same goes for the creatures you encounter: adding more bestiary-style wildlife would make the world feel richer. Creatures that naturally live in the zones, act according to their own interests, and could even trigger fights with the UESC for example.
Last few small things:
- Add more aerial mobility / vertical gameplay. Large leaps across the map, etc.
- Add melee weapons like swords/hammers (Halo 3 style ā you know what I mean haha).
Thatās it. I honestly think the game would become even better with additions like these!
Thanks for reading.
