I don't know what's more impressive: how much it changed or how little it changed. Like, from the very beginning ghost ship knew what they wanted to make.
Same. Rock and Stone is like the heart and soul of the game now. Language barriers don’t matter. When you press V and everyone Rock and Stones with you, you know you’re in for a good time.
Recent Greenbeards won't know the pleasures of Cave Leeches reaching through walls and killing your whole team on an escort mission while Doretta "flies" :D
Just started to play the game at the start of season one. With this video I can definitely see this is a game I will be playing for a long time. Rock and stone!
It’s amazing to see how far this game has come. I just got it on ps plus and it’s safe to say I’m excited to join the ride this game is bringing Its players on
Plus every game has those “trailer moments” that really only happen in trailers. But the game was made so well that those trailer moments happen naturally, and it’ll be always so cool to see
like any game i think it's the most fun with friends. at least then when SHTF it's funny. solo is great for taking in the atmosphere... and playing rollercoaster tycoon.
It’s crazy, I saw gameplay footage for this yeaaaars ago and I was like “holy shit this is so cool” and then forgot about it entirely, only to find it a year ago and I haven’t dropped it since, great game with a fantastic vision
It is so awesome to see how much this game has improved. I immediately fell in love with this game when I played with my friends on console and I‘m diggin it!
I read an article about DRG back in 2018 and as a left 4 dead enthusiast I was quite curious about that little indie game but also cautious because many early access titles have not received much attention after I bought them. A year passed and since the devs were still alive and kicking I got the game in 2019. While its replayability has always been strong the whole game is now well rounded and mission are varied. I'm pretty sure it also runs better on my crappy PC.
from that 3rd trailer id love to have environments to have fog like that for a lot more atmosphere, it would be great for those rooms that generated like in the trailer
The fog pit. Also the fairly rare low grav pit can exist on drilldozer missions in azure weald, it is pretty cool looking, but that's not the point, the point is make a similar one but it has fog condensed into it with maybe an unbreakable surface, kind of like that weird underwater brine stuff in real life, would fit in bungus fogs.
I been playing this game for years at this point, didnt know that those lil steam pits on ice maps were to keep u warm. I literally just learned that watching this. Thats crazy lmao
I liked how the flares would give off a smoke trail in the early alphas making it look like they’re a burning flame and not just a light bulb we have today. If we ever get cosmetic changes to flares in the future, that’s something I want to see
Holy shit how this game has changed, my friends gifted me this game so I could play back in February so I could play with them on Discord. And I haven't left since. To see how this game started is beyond incredible to me.
I understand *why* everything was so low poly, it was in early development after all, but it's so funny to see the like, 3 polygons that is any of the guns
Sometimes I forget to stop white knuckle farming this game and enjoy it with a friend how it was intended. You miss all of this beauty when you’re trying to rock and stone at the high level as fast as possible.
I... I have no words... How can a guy research so much information to do that beast of a video and only have 65 subscribers?! There... I'll be your 66th
5:00 This moment!!! This was the most pivital point in the games history... A simple phrase... Rock and stone. I absolutely love this game. Thank you developers for all your hard labor and dedicatiom to deliver such a experience 😊
Starting playing this in mid 2023 after graduating uni and had to much time on my hands. I proceeded to play only deep rock for the next month, God i love this game.
This game is unbelievably fun man. I wish you luck on your channel man! I'll subscribe simply cause of your hard work. Guys lets share this and blow the game and this guy up. They both deserve it.
This makes me love and apreciate this game even more!!! Deep Rock Galactic might just be the best game ever, or atleast the best game I ever played, my most favourite game. And I played quite a view great games, like Valheim, Noita, Minecraft, Monster Hunter World, Terraria, Heros Hour, PvZ Garden Warfare 2 and Slime rancher just to name my favourite games. But Deep Rock really stands out, so well made, polished, and just perfect! The only issue I could think of regarding this game is that sting tails are annoying wich could also be a skill issue, and online grievers ending your lobby wich happens rarely. Everything else is perfect! I had more fun in DRGs lobby area then in some entire other games! Just great!
Damn, DRG is really a game that is cared and loved by passionate developpers. If it wasn't the case, I don't think the game would've taken off for long, if even at all. GSG and its devs are shiny rocks. or well, gems.
This game is an S tier, for its quality and for the fun factor. Thanks to the PlayStation plus monthly games I’ve discovered this little big gem of gaming Rock and stone!
This game might be the only one left where the devs aren't money hungry, free battle passes that don't rely on fomo and nothing but a few cosmetics are locked behind dlcs.
i probably started playing the game arround 2020, and i never new how it looked before then! Awesome to see the progression! Also it keeps improving while it already reached a very good status, and that's even better! Love this studio, love this game, definitely!
Imagine if DRG went with the slow and methodical design like GTFO, it would be fitting seeing how you're on an alien planet where alot of thing want you dead.
To be honest looking, looking at the first few trailers it makes we want a sort of stealth mode to drg. I think it would be awesome to have to sneak in and grab some eggs from a massive nest of bugs or there was some massive bug that would wake up if you shot it, or even just an event that could happen in the cave that would require you to avoid the bugs.
Kind of breaks the gameplay loop though, considering that we wouldn’t be able to use half or nearly all of our equipment (like the guns or drillers c4)
Man, I think the need to add more dangerous things in Hoxes nature, as acid rivers and smth like that, that would be another reason for more intense gameplay
I’ve been playin this game since last Christmas. I wish I knew about it before that. It’s so good to see how far you guys have come and the community that’s been built
They definitely need to bring back the sound and smoke trail of the old flares. Also the fog, that fog looks great compared to the filter that's universally applied when a biom has a storm. And I would LOVE it if they introduced VR. For some reason this game has always screamed that it needs VR to me.
Эта игра великолепна , она уже заслужила стоять в одном ряду с heroes 3, half life , halo , starcraft , gta , и другие . Это одна из лучших игр за 10 лет
I first started playing this game almost 1 year ago not knowing what I was getting myself into. To this day I never regretted trying this game out and this game is my addiction and I'm a proud engineer main all the way. Rock and Stone!!!!!
That's actually cool, that you can find lots of these familiar things in Satisfactory. Mostly because Coffee Stain (Satisfactory developers) also worked on this project.
God I love how this game was based on the foundation of Deep Dark Cave exploration. It didn't have these charming dwarves chanting or aliens to shoot. It was far more mysterious and ambient. I'd say, in many ways, this game still retains a lot of that ambience. I think they would benefit from designing deep dives to be more like the old school gameplay. Have a special deep dive event where you travel so deep, that you can no longer pick up on Mission Control. He comes out muffled, and you're left mostly by yourselves in a particularly trecherous world generation, looking for a way to reconnect with Mission Control. That would be insane.
It’s weird to see all the stuff I remember. But it makes me happy seeing how far this game has come. I miss that old flamer thrower model to be honest.
If you dig deeper you can find even more prototypes by the devs where everyone was untextured white dwarves with similarly modeled guns. I find the game really interesting on it's development.
I don't know what's more impressive: how much it changed or how little it changed. Like, from the very beginning ghost ship knew what they wanted to make.
Couldn't agree more, the core concepts were present from the very beginning, and it is awesome to see how they have expanded upon it.
And I hope to God they don't lose sight, these devs have been the best of any game and I hope it lasts forever
When you see things such as "Added cool gatling spin!" or "we got MAGGOT!" You know that devs are going right way
I will admit damn the flares looked wayyyy fucking cooler too. But I get it, since probably after a while it will hurt your eyes
You have not seen the og stuff when they still were under different company.... it was DRG the Fantasy game with actual mule and crossbows xd
I honestly really like the look of the first original flares. They look like actual flares with how bright they are.
Lookin like real magnesium flares instead of glorified glow-sticks 😂
They were too expensive, so management opted for a cheaper solution
Yes, but Neon is the future. DRG is set in the future. Ergo, the flares are flares of the future, and therefore neon.
@@maxpflughoeft6806 good explain!
They might’ve even been upgradable
It's actually amazing that they never used some cinematic trailers for their game. All they need is just to play and footage is done.
i cant imagine playing the game before you could Rock And Stone. Really proud of the devs bringing the game to where it is now.
Same. Rock and Stone is like the heart and soul of the game now. Language barriers don’t matter. When you press V and everyone Rock and Stones with you, you know you’re in for a good time.
True; DRG is a fun shooter in its own right, but the amount of personality the devs gave it makes the game truly unique.
this game has a whole culture to it and it is great
the salute key existed in all branches except the pre-alpha
LITERALLY FORGOT TO ROCK AND STONE IN THEIR OWN GAME 💀💀💀💀💀

i tried this game last Free Weekend, and after 2-3 hours playing it I knew I had to buy it.
IF YOU DON’T ROCK AND STONE YOU AINT COMING HOME!
Its amazing how the sound design has always been on point even in the early prototypes.
The Caretaker's sounds are straight up Ear Candy👌
the mods are even better lol
The fist images and sound clues were kinda eerie, tbh.

@@Nothing92849 ;D
I really like the atmosphere on these early versions, really felt like a horror game.
back even in year one of official release it felt like it... before specials were added and they really started to ramp up the cave generation.
Yep, early time deep rock was honestly way more scary, especially BLEEP Ing leaches
yeah really dark and scary
5:02 the first recorded instance of "Rock and Stone" in the context we know it to be used in
It seems like they ditched the dark scary atmosphere for a more arcadey feel. Seems to have worked out well, and I didn't spend 1000 hrs on this game.
Yeah neither did i, only like 500 or so.
I just noticed I haven't really seen any fog in the current game. I wonder why they removed it, it looks really cool.
Most likely performance, also, there are some forms of fog still, just usually situational, or very light
We explore deep dark caves with gunk and spiderwebs, we don’t need more things that inhibit eyesight
have you played fungus bogs recently? there is definitely still fog.
@@Mike_Rogge but they remove the acid
@@amanwithnoplans6592 wrong.
glad this game has come a long way and hope for many more years to come, Rock and Stone

Ok now I wish all flairs were fire torches like in the trailer. Makes the lighting looks so much scarier!
In two years this game has already changed so much.
I been playing this game for two weeks as I am prestige 2 level 4 scout. This is a really fun game to play with great atmosphere.
