Gareth Hughes in the interview with Arthur during the livestream said the AI had to be dialled back as it was too good at jumping out of the way of SRVs, so the AI should be pretty mobile
Looking forward to intense fighting in FPS Odyssey

I noticed this too. It could be they were the equivalent of Harmless.
This is one of the first things I'll be looking for in Alpha. I'm guessing we'll have a rank for shooting (hope so anyway) so we'll all start off at the lowest rank. I'll be pushing that ASAP.
He said that but that was specifically about srv vs infantry. It wasn't a question related to general Al.Gareth Hughes in the interview with Arthur during the livestream said the AI had to be dialled back as it was too good at jumping out of the way of SRVs, so the AI should be pretty mobile
It looked very pedestrian across the board so I'm hoping that is just the ranks in play, which I'd be happy with. The very lowest rank ai is fine if it's dumb.
I want my SRV to have something like this (but on both sides) please...Gareth Hughes in the interview with Arthur during the livestream said the AI had to be dialled back as it was too good at jumping out of the way of SRVs, so the AI should be pretty mobile
I also love FPS games, with a proviso they be "good" FPS games. There is an endless variety of mediocre FPS games, and since FDEV have never made a FPS game before, let alone a top rated one, I fear it will turn out to be just another mediocre FPS. Mind you I won't be doing the FPS bit, as I said if I ever want to get back into FPS seriously it would be with a dedicated FPS game.
Hell yea! Two gameplay types I love in a game I love? Yes, please!
It's really the only aspect of Odyssey that FD have chosen to show us. There was a small clip of a player using the plasma cutter but apart from that it's been all about combat.
When FD decide to show us some other aspects of Odyssey then we'll have something else to discuss.
FD are clearly trying to attract a new kind of player from the CoD, Battlefield, Battle Royale and other FPS genres and obviously combat is going to be the big draw...hence all the attention combat is getting. I don't think showing a single commander salvaging scrap from a crash site, or harvesting biological samples would really entice the FPS crowd to get involved.
My biggest concern about EDO is the netcode. Given the issues we already experience with instancing, Orange Sidewinders, other colour ships etc, can you imagine trying to engage in close quarters combat in a confined space unless the netcode/server provision has been upgraded to cope?
No, me neither.
No, me neither.
It usually is, going back over the released game footage and comments it was revealed to me that the first video featured exploration "One Giant Leap", the second, well I'm not really sure but something about forging as in "Forging your Path", and the third combat as in, "Sphere of Combat". So I had to go back and watch the first video just to make sure I didn't miss something important.
I didn't, just over 4 minutes of them talking about how good the new planets looked, a few seconds where they mentioned "sampling gun" and new plants and that was it. The rest, as far as I could see, was just generic background stuff, a very poor effort indeed if they were trying to feature "exploration".
I have an old k6-2 400 with my one remaining functional Voodoo2 dedicated to playing Carma2, Viper Racing & Grand Prix Legends
huh? We've had 3 Dev Diaries, the first 2 IIRC were conbat-free zones. (Admittedly the 4th is likely combat as well).
Stop doxing my steam account!
The only thing you'll be fighting is a framerate. P2P, the "seamless" joys await!
I never did like FPS. I was there when Doom and Quake first arrived in the late 80's and early 90's. Running through halls shooting everything in sight.
It has not changed. The halls now show the world, the guns got more fancy and the characters are still you shooting everything in sight.
Except for the high score, I don't see the allure. But this is a generational thing. Those born just prior to the release of Doom and Quake, you grew up on it.
I'll forgo the FPS side of Odyssey.

Generational is a cop-out. I played zx80 games, zx81 games, spectrum BBC amiga consoles and pc.
Paul, YOU don't like FPS, that's cool. There's nothing generational about it.
Not sure we're talking about the same thing...I've only seen two video/trailers for Odyssey, both mainly featured combat. If they've shown more footage of other aspects of Odyssey then I'd love to see it...perhaps you could link them?
