Needs more frogs. 🐸
Absolutely
I haven’t been this excited about a new title in a very long time! The sheer potential this game holds is really exciting! The perfect kind of people are working on this game!
And hordes of mosquitoes 😁
You have to become the frog
Just a few more
I'm actually happy to hear no NDA and that they wanted to comb over the hours of footage you and the other streamers did. That actually is a fantastic approach and even if it's got bugs, looks really good for pre alpha gameplay
Wipes ❌
Teamkilling w/out consequences ❌
Needs more refinement. Good thing this is early access. Really hope they get this down - cautiously optimistic.
It's NOT early access, it's APLHA or like PRE-ALPHA, which is a before BETA build, and Beta comes before EA, so there's a LONG road for them to get the game right, and I'm hella excited for that ride.
@@Charlie_Niceeveryone disagrees. That’s why tarkov died
@@Charlie_Nicewipes make sense If there is no constant updates that add new things for the high tier players other than that I don't really know if this game needs it
@@Charlie_Nice If deleting players' progress for the sake of making them grind again is the only way to keep a game alive, that's a sad way to go about it.
Edit: Also, EFT isn't doing too hot right now. Not because of wipes though, just a greedy company ruining community sentiment.
@@jty1999 That and the devs were caught selling source code to hack devs, got caught and lied about it and buried the videos made about it.
And now silently changing the Edge of Darkness edition for future DLC and releases and releasing a $250 edition is scummy as fuck.
All I want from this game is the options to just casually play with my friends in coop without any other players 😅
They have a separate game mode that is PvE, with all the same functionality as the PvPvE mode 👍
@@Tomographic Oh that's awesome, really looking forward to it then!
Hope it's not locked to the most expensive edition *cough tarkov* :D
I know it may sound crazy and fake but PvE is included in every edition even in the 35€ after taxes version@@AdmiralEisbaer
@@AdmiralEisbaer It has a standard edition that is only 35 but there are also more expensive editions.
@@Tomographic A friend wants to know: Are those modes going to have separate progression, or will you be able to transfer between them? Like get guns and gear in one mode, and then take that same gear into the other mode.
That's how you create a game that will make player happy !
- You build your base idea
- You cook a little
- You share your hopes of what you wishes it to become (like that people and devs can project)
- You invite usual player (of this genra) to test the cooked alpha versions
- They speak to you
- You listen
- You cook again
Congratulation, you have a made a new game that will make people entertained !
And so far, the game looks very cool, the concept behind faction, servers as map = party, and no "run".. you have something that looks like arma or tarkov, that is not arma or tarkov !
Watched this from start to finish and all I can say is it is the BEST example of the essence this game has to offer in droves: incredible atmosphere, comradery with knowns and unknowns , all types of situations from calm to tense (you and drew hiding in those bushes, holy foxtrot and that enemy LZ moment.. Christ's chin that was insane 😅). The points made throughout are ones I was thinking as I watched through this and various videos, all of them were bang on. In agreement with all of it. It's a long list they need to look at, but I'm hopeful they're up to the challenge. Great video Tomo, as always 🐸
DEEF!
Your feedback early in the video is exactly what I’m worried about. I’m glad they had creators play who used the “gentleman’s agreement “ so we can see exactly how the game plays as intended. But once the masses get a hold of the game… plenty of people will try to ruin it for the rest. I hope they take their time to implement measures to counter. Nice video and solid feedback tomo✊🏻
This is why we can't have nice things. Who'da thunk it that a game plays well when it is played as intended, right?
People like to cheese it whenever they can and that's when gameplay loops fall apart. The players seem to forget that it's not always the devs, but the players themselves.
If you fall outside the way it's intended to play, you're going to have a bad time.
The first 15 minutes of gameplay are variations of camping the helicopter infil. Going to be insanely toxic just getting on the ground.
Im definitely interested. If they do away with wipes, punish teamkilling, and make it a more PVE than PVP experience, perhaps making separate servers for people who just want to PVP (which wouldnt be me), I'd be happy.
There is only PvE
Loved you fair and thoughtful opening synopsis of the game and its state of play so far. Must admit this really looks like something that is just up my street and am more than jealous of your ability to be able to play it.
This will make me finally buy a gaming PC
@@ItchyTrigahFingah
Welcome bro. Better late than never. This would be the perfect game to get into PC gaming.
You'll never want to game on any other device after you get a PC.
Well, that's how it is for me at least. I am addicted to my PC. Lol
The library of games is utterly immense. Between mods, better graphics, and higher FPS, it's something I can't live without now. Too spoiled you could say. 😂
29:53 Hoooly snipe 🤣🤣🤣
i wouldve shit my pants
Dude that was mental
Brother you are a tactical machine!!! 🤯
I love your content and have for years please keep it up🙏
Its a really solid alpha gameplay they showing. On discord u can see that the devs really care for the game and the feedback they get. They look in the game themselves, seek out them bugs and fix them. Also they show what they doing every week. I think this game will be massive in the future
40 hours, what a beast! And you make everyone of them a pleasure to watch.
Love your comedy chemistry with Gibbon 😂 'is that the chicken satay?!!??'
"there's two guys comming on me
omg theres two guys comming on you!?" 🤣
I loved this last week of you, the boys, and all the Brits playing this. I so want to play this.
Fun watch! I'm excited to see what the game looks like when they finally release it!
Good stuff, Tomo
Tom, you make me want to get a PC. Love the content. And the frogs are the best part 😂
This, even with the flaws, looks brilliant.
That sniper shot at 29:53 has to be one of the best shots in gaming
epic video i've definitely watched it all already
That opening was hilarious
Thanks for introducing us to such amazing games.
thank you, I enjoyed your content 😇
I like this approach, alot better than the day before for sure
"Dont shoot dont shoot me dont shoot" while sprinting from heli had me rollin!
Its really interesting watching this after watching the other teams POV videos first. The total mismatch of what both groups assume is going on and the intentions is fascinating.
Looks amazing cant wait to play it
Lets gooo. Love the content. I cant wait to make some content and clips myself.
Can’t wait for this to drop
this looks bloody brilliant!
The ghost recon wildlands song in the background in the beginning 🔥🔥
This game looks so dope bro can’t wait to get in to it
If this was released to the public, it would be a cluster cuss. The internet is a fantastic place to share ideas and build communities; however, this is the same place that invented the term "troll." This play test would be absolutely no fun if it was available to the public. You wouldn't have any gentleman's agreements. You would have a bunch of 12 year olds spawn camping their own faction to get benefits from the work of their teammates, rather than trying to figure out how to complete tasks themselves. Alternatively, I could see a group of trolls killing everyone and anyone to loot powerful gear and then running straight to "ground zero" to lose that gear in an area that is inaccessible to most or all players. Outside of all that, man, for a prealpha, this game is handsome!
I can't imagine Grayzone won't go without a harsh punishment for team killers.
A kick or ban from the server or wipe your stash if you repeat offend. That would straighten up the douche nozzles that try to pull the garbage. We'll have to wait and see what they implement.
But what's the point of releasing the alpha in a state that has nothing to do with how it should? That's pretty dumb. That gentleman agreement is what shield them from the harsh reality of their flawed design.
@knuckles7410 I agree with you, in part, but I guarantee that every single one of the content creators have given the devs feedback on this aspect of their "flawed design." However, in the interest of being able to test more of the game, the content creators have adopted this agreement. Otherwise, the entire pre-alpha test would just be a bunch of team killing and nonsense. My point is that the devs are not ignorant of the problem.
@@JuneauGTW Would be difficult to be ignorant of the problem when the whole internet complains about it. However they shown that they didn't had any solution for it. Otherwise, they would have implemented that solution before the alpha release.
The problem with that is that, we have no idea what solution they will implement for it, and that solution will certainly be a game changer, that should have been tested prior this release. Let's not cope and be honest. They wanted to rush it, they already messed that up. How do you know how the game will play after they implement a change? It's kind of misleading to make people play it without having solved major design issue.
I've been constantly seeing complaints about this not being an open beta or open test. Whatever happened to getting a finished game first? I, for one, am glad that there is a way to showcase the game to the public while not enduring the issues of an unfinished game. And if this testing phase means that we get a better game then why not let a small group of people test it first and get the issues fixed.
I don't get the fuss. I mean, I get that ppl have fomo but all games have beta testing, we just don't normally see it. At least this way we can watch others do the testing.
I don't understand the whining either. The Steam forums lit up with that crap.
"Now we know where the devs stand"
"This is shady letting only streamers playtest"
"Streamers aren't the general public"
Blah blah blah. It's obvious why only content creators got invites because they have an audience to share it with. More eyes on the game means more people can get interested in it.
Besides, it's not like they got sponsored to play it, and Madfinger even explicitly stated you can say whatever you want with no repercussions for doing so. Anyone that got a key can rip the game a new one for all they care and that's awesome. This means Madfinger has confidence in their ability to make it better in the future.
I like a limited playtest given to only content creators (doesn't have to ONLY be these people), just the fact its limited because that means they can suffer a buggy mess and run the game through its paces before the public gets it.
It's misplaced outrage and doesn't get us anywhere. If anything, I think some people just want to stir the pot in the hopes it coerces the devs into just letting everyone play early before the Steam release.
Glad to see MF didn't cave to that peer pressure. I have high hopes for Grayzone.
Yea, there's also a bunch of people trashing the game not realizing this is just an Pre alpha Play test which is fkn insane that it's this well and relatively smooth for an alpha build.
That kill was the most brutal I’ve seen 😅 … shit my pants watching it
I’m extremely excited to play this game. Looks phenomenal and everything I’ve wanted combined into one game. My only gripe is, I hope they update the map and have a balance of forests and buildings/cities. I can’t be the only one getting tired of playing in just trees lol
Engaging in this discourse is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling, reaffirming my belief in the strength and resilience of sweaty gamers everywhere.
Insane potential. It looks soooo good. ATV & Jeep would be nice.
So, after 24 years in the British Army and plenty of operational tours there are a few things, the sound is fantastic and the difference in shots fired and the whip crack of shots going over you is spot on. Also on the positive side, the use of tactical map markers following the NATO standard for the different assets is also spot on, nice touch.
However, if you are going to have different factions then surely they should have different air assets to bring you in to avoid confusion? The use of 400 (sic) mags is completely unrealistic and IF realism is the aim then ammo should be conserved and mags should be limited. The use of secondary weapons and what you have in your ammo bag or bergen should also be limited to assist with proper mission planning and tactics predicated on your target set and the mission main effort and concept of ops. Comms would also be a good inclusion, you can do team talk if you have radios in your loadout but it's great to see that proximity comms are standard, there's no way you shouldn't be able to talk to the soldier next to you.
The scenery looks amazing and the game looks superb, even with the bugs. It's the most realistic war shooter I've seen and it will go on my wishlist as soon as there is a release date.
Being in the army doesn't magically make you a game desinger. WTF are you even talking about?
@@knuckles7410 who said anything about being a game designer dude? Why so angry? Drink some tea, relax a little.
@@Son_of_Mandalore Well you tried to give yourself credit in terms of game design by bringing your alleged career in the military. So I am just letting you know, being an ex military doesn't make you a game designer, I don't even understand why you brought that up. It's like saying, I can do your electricity because I have been a plumber for 24 years. Doesn't even make any sense...
@@knuckles7410 OK buddy. Thanks for the feedback.
@@knuckles7410 bro, he was giving feedback and suggestions, he didn't even say anything about being a designer.
Can't wait. Just a few more hours
such a beautiful game
“Chicken Shate” I’m dying 😂😂
I AM A DAYZ VETERAN AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO COME OUT ITS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AS WELL
More games in this kind of genre is great. more competition and choice. Looks like it'll be a fun time, i like how everyone is loaded in persistantly. no 12 loading screens to go through or waiting for people to load/connect.
Hello Tom, did the devs say anything about the release date? And also great video once again and let's hit 1 mil subs!
Legit a campaign Cod mission, thats sick ngl.
I’m so excited for the alpha to drop for the public😍
I'm actually very excited for this. Its like Ghost Recon Wildlands and Tarkov had a kid.
It takes so many bullets to kill someone in this game. You shoot them like three times to the head and too many bullets to count to bodies. even for the unarmoured npcs
Im in no rush to play the game but the fact they are putting it out there and allowing people to play it rather than a developer creating videos that deceive what the actual game looks/plays like is to to be appreciated
I might be drunk but I will say, man I love hearing drewski in other milsim-type creator's videos
This game has sky high potential, the devs seem like they really want honest feedback and that tells me they will take it and improve leaps and bounds. I’m excited for the final product.
I think that the devs have so far a very, very solid foundation to build on but some of the aspects need to be kept, some improved, some redone:
-as far as team killing goes, there is probably no easier way than to have the OPTION to set friendly fire off / on per server
-OR have a usage of distinctive teammate flags, insignia, reflective stuff - honestly the only thing I like about BattleBit for example, is the usage of distinctive red / green stuff on players, or for instance like in DayZ a proper arm band with proper custom insignia / flag is imho important
-another solution could probably be the usage of LZ helicopters being only allowed to full squads and having such being marked on map, name tag, or icon tag and meanwhile having solo players who have the ability to just become lone wolves who cannot use the LZs, fall under category "bandit" and have distinctive clothing / camo as opposed to other players in squad / faction who have distinctive camo / clothing... a mechanic to prevent teamkilling could be that a successfull raid without teamkilling gets extra / bonus loot while squad members who turn on each other will bleed tickets and after some tickets lost will become /be marked as bandits and being disbanded from the squad / team resulting in a worse loot than if teamplay is included
-overall team progression might have or could have some benefits as opposed to friendly fire, as opposed to being a bandit with the option to join the opposite faction
-including extra loot stashes / loot containers could become easier for factions, while having team-specific gear being required by each faction, meanwhile being a bandit should require one to be able to get loot by either stealing loot or rewarding the abbility to survive over other players - as in teamwork vs lone wolf skill
-more maps will be very much needed in the future to add diversity to gameplay
All in all there is a lot of people around me and on the internet who are as of now very interested in this game and hopefully it will deliver something new and exciting.
Tomographic: Watch this!
Me: Bro, I am.
What the hell do you mean 40 hours Tom 👀
He doesn’t stream most of it
You heard me 🥵
Nearly 25% of that was in the first stream as well
@@Tomographic any plans to stream more of it before the play test ends?
I swear he did a bunch of 7 or 8 hour streams.
But i know he would have played a lot off stream
This looks really good. Cant wait until it lanches
I'm also over wipes. Definitely a deciding factor on if I'll purchase this or not. Game looks incredible so far though.
I’m honestly just glad that this game is actually real. I remember when it was first being teased the only question in anyone’s mind was, is this another scam like “The day before”? We are now past the point so now it’s just waiting for it to actually release.
The Scam Before was an outlier, an exception. To assume every yet-to-be-released game is a scam does a disservice to actually legit people building games.
There's a lot of scummy "games" out there, but luckily there is also many good ones too. The advertising and dev blogs for Grayzone are nothing like what Fntastic was doing.
No removal from Steam. No BS story about a trademark dispute. No shady-looking "gameplay" teasers. Madfinger has been more open than Fntastic ever was and that alone let me know, at least for myself, that Grayzone wasn't going to be fake.
Nothing wrong with skepticism though. Glad to see Madfinger was able to prove naysayers wrong. I'm looking forward to this. It looks like Grayzone fixed what I dislike about Tarkov's gameplay loop while also expanding on the genre.
looks fun!
Glorious
Tom this game looks amazing. Once the get the bugs out of it
29:53 was crazy!
Aye Operator drewski 🤘🏻
to stop traitors from releasing your location they could do friendly non-squad mates wont show up until a certain proximity to you. so if you see blueberries and you think they are giving away your position you can move until you cant see them on the map anymore
Mad respect for these Devs man! They have all of the ingredients for greatness it just needs some fine tuning over time and we will finally have an alternative to Tarkov
Does this game have a bounty system for folks that kill (too many) friendlies?
I think this looks great
Any tips for picking up mouse n keyboard for fps games?
Coming from the last 20 years on console and wanna dive into these types of games.
There's no secret other than practice. Start with single player game or something to learn the basics. Aim trainers will help for PvP
Definitely need more frogs n bugs.
I feel like they need to add the stamina with climbing walls and obstacles with that taking more stamina, which will make it more realistic and how you would approach the enemy.
Good approach. Let people play. Get feedback. Adjust. Rinse and Repeat.
The ending tho lol. Oh no!
Would be sick if they upgraded the AI enemy numbers, consistency, having patrols in the jungle and difficulty based on background or just give some of them Snipers, RPGs, LMG suppressive fire or whatever.
Add air/ground support for both PMCs and local military (might be a fix for camping or the running simulator complaint.)Also the map feels empty and too large for no reason
Hate the progress wipe system. A mix of Ghost Recon/Insurgency Sandstorm/ Tarkov gameplay is what I expected from this game.
Love it 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Developers should lern from this, i think ppl like this honest and open way to promote something that they are working on instead of the shady stuff thats going on in gaming in general with half finnished games and the overhype promotion to something thats lukewarm at launch
Make a bounty system. If a player is team killing and taking their loot, the whole lobby gets a new mission, similar to the nuke mission in WZ except it allows members of all factions to team up to kill that one team killing player or squad for an extra set of rewards, XP, or something similar
29:52 that was hella cool
Not the ghost recon wildlands music in the background I love it.
Had to be done
Why is Tomo playing the Tom Clancy's Wildlands song as the intro lol? Anyway I'm gonna go play wildlands now
Referring to the hard heli drop zones, do you think the creators can also add player controlled flying, so in the case a landing zone is being camped in theory operators could fly in to cover at different angles?
Let 'em cook
13:18 made me laugh so hard
There should be only respect for a dev team releasing a game like this. Idk why there is any hate at all. Tbh though I bet there is less hate out there than people think
I certainly respect what the Devs are trying to do here. As with any pvp pve game though there are concerns with cheating and exploits. The game itself is gorgeous, lots of eye candy. The missing features like climbing ladders destructible environments ie. windows will undoubted be something they work on. The biggest concern I have is also one the highlights of the game. This game is running on Unreal 5 and while it does allow for lots of eye candy it is also system intensive. We have seen lots of footage so far but most of the people playing ( at least the ones I've been watching ) are running some pretty high end hardware. Will they be able to optimize this game enough to run on mid tier systems. As it sits unreal 5 is difficult to do this with. At least with the games we have seen released as to date. Digital foundry has spoken on this very issue. Not overly concerned personally, my system should be fine but the friends I game with could be left out if the game is not optimized enough to accommodate older rigs. I am looking forward to trying it out in the future as it could be some good fun for fans of tactical extraction shooters. Thanks for all the game play BTW
Love the ghost recon wildlands theme in the back
had to be done
i genuinely think the only hurdle Madfinger face is PUBG's extraction shooter coming later this year. i absolutely love everything i've seen from this game, but competing with the GOAT is going to be a HARD challenge. Madfinger is going to need a weapon catalog similar to that of current COD, and a way to wipe missions, but not stashes and any perks that may be obtained. they need to find a way to make it fair to new players, without punishing the existing ones. i think the best thing they could do with the helicopters is just genuinely give each squad their own, which is either player controlled by map interaction, or flown similar to that of COD. it would also have to not appear on map for anyone, but can also be destroyed by enemy players. allowing every team the ability to travel freely, but maintaining that wanted risk of using a bird. lastly, there needs to be heavy handed consequences in game to team killing to offset the possible gear gains. i am HYPE to play this game, and even had access to this play test, sadly i was not able to get more than three hours in to it, so i didn't even bother on the content front.
for early access this game is amazing i have 60 hours in it already
This is a game that maybe become a model for future game because it's like some school project and need people opinion and just give them for free to get more feedback
Random Ai patrols in the meddle of no where should be a thing should always be on your guard
i watched a few of the crews streams and was like, meh. but, it is "missing 70% of intended content" so obviously that's going to be my impression, i didn't play the game. as a demo / test, this is fkn sick! the idea itself to actually let gamers playtest the game, without an NDA and full disclosure that the current version is only like 30% of intended content.
AAA+ publishers have a lot to learn about the gaming community, and WAY too much to lose. I'm glad indi devs and smaller publishers actually know what they're doing, it's as though they actually played demos back when you could get them on a disc with the monthly PC mag lol
i will cram 100 hours into this game launch week
Dont shoot me, dont shoot me, dont shoot me! lol
if your're saying press build had many issues - they will not be ironed out in the few weeks that passed to release today - there is no point in that press only build other than making hype & people pissed
haha ghost recon wildlands music
its come out for the public and it one of the better games I've played :)
That Kill 29:50 was truly epic!
they should add a bug spray item that, if used, removes the mosquito-in-ear sfx
This seems like a lot of fun so far. The call of duty loop gets a little annoying
