lineus Tech tips coverage of pxs 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,160
and steel series hey guys we're here at the Indie Mega Booth checking out load

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,759
out and as far as I can tell this game is about insane amounts of customization

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,560
and just mad amounts of insanity is there anything else you can add about

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:21,439
this game well I mean that's that's the basic thing yeah it's completely mad so

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,800
uh the big thing about it other than that is that um a lot of player

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,760
empowerment in terms of like being able to invent your own weapons so we've got

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,320
a modular weapon crafting system there's billions of combinations you put pieces

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,360
together and you invent whatever weapon you can invent with the pieces you got and there's some crazy combinations out

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,520
there really up to the player play Style and what you want to do with your weapon

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:46,160
and when he says billions of combinations he isn't exaggerating there

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,680
are actually billions of combinations so if you're the type of person that wants

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,760
to Tinker with things and make your own thing that's unique to you you can

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,879
actually do that with this game exactly you were describing something to me yesterday which was a sniper rifle that

15
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:00,680
shot rockets that blew up and healed people that's right yeah that's exct

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,600
when when they keep thing there is you also put the proximity Detonator on it

17
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,280
so that you can fire sniper grenades across the level they stick and then

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,640
when people need healing they can run by them and the proximity timer goes off

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,159
and it heals them in a in like a cluster of flak now all of those pieces there

20
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:21,040
that's a like I just described like eight different modules that make one gun you could change any of those like

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,600
you could change it to Fire and now instead of being healing it's an unfriendly surprise to the enemy uh yeah

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,040
it's that sort of thing there's no classes in load out so you really Define

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,320
your class by the weapons and your play style which is very cool because a lot

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,040
of people like I just said earlier a lot of people that like the customization part being able to make something that's

25
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:40,640
unique to them you can that that can be brought to the most ridiculous degree in

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:46,200
this game everything about this game like I said earlier Insanity the amount of everything in this game is insanity

27
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:49,840
um what's your favorite part about this game is it the customization okay so the

28
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,560
favorite my favorite part of the game is the fact that because of the customization you can play any role you

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,680
want so I am not good at the enclos fighting like I die a lot of the time so

30
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:01,840
I play more of a support role and I do two things with that one is I got a

31
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:05,640
healing gun that lets me stay at medium range and heal people so I can stay out

32
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:08,959
of the battle but still heal and the second thing I do is I like being a

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,480
sneaky jerk and so I've got a remote control rocket that I can fire all the

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,040
way across the level and blow people up so between those two I'm like this

35
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,400
interesting long range medium- range support guy and I don't ever have to get

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,599
into Close Quarters battles where I know I'm going to lose that's interesting

37
00:02:21,519 --> 00:02:27,840
because a lot of people will complain in games and like similar to this style

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,519
that say someone will go sniper and they find they're not very helpful to the team even though they might be whatever

39
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:36,280
it goes back and forth but that sniper could shoot healing

40
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:39,200
bullets at that point in time he's Now helpful to the team exactly yeah you in

41
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:42,800
fact you could even have two weapons one's your sniper headshot killing and

42
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,879
the other is your sniper healing and now you're this weird sort of like combo

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,599
sniper if that's the role you want to play that's your class that you've made

44
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,959
do it you know that could be very effective something that you described

45
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:56,480
to me yesterday again was the guy that made the he he would shoot out grenade

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,360
mines things that would follow him around and then automatically go on a

47
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,640
laser target yeah and that's and that's part of the of balancing this game we've

48
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,440
had a great Community we can gather a lot of data on what they're doing what's effective so we can balance basically

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,480
with their help one guy made um he made a a laser guided missile bouncing

50
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,400
missiles he put bouncy on the missiles and then he would shoot out a whole

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,640
bunch of them all at once and then he had like all these bouncing Minions that

52
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,840
would follow him around the level and then because it was on laser guided whenever he wanted somebody to die he

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,519
would just point a laser at them and all the missiles would suddenly leave him

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,000
and jump on that guy and blow him up um which is pretty awesome strategy we had

55
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:33,080
to Nerf it a little bit but it's still a viable thing to do so that's very cool

56
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,159
and it's nice to see that you guys are actively responding to different things that people are going to create because

57
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:42,080
you think balancing more simple games is hard imagine having billions of

58
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:46,439
combinations and trying to balance that so I definitely understand it's still in

59
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,080
beta correct we are currently in uh Early Access so it's a closed beta early
