Ready or Not | The SWAT Sequel Fans Wanted (Early Access)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- The game industry seems to have forgotten about tactical shooters, but Ready or Not aims to revive the genre in the modern age. Even in it's early access state, the level of care and detail present rises above plenty of bigger AAA projects. If you're a fan of the SWAT games, namely SWAT 4, and you've been feeling neglected the last couple decades, this is exactly what you've been looking for.

Door kicking and flashbanging is always better with friends! If you've played Ready or Not, share some of your favorite moments and thank you for sticking around the last few months.
Thank you for uploading a new video!!!
I really missed your content :)
Yo where is reviewing every metel gear solid game
Sorry, I haven’t played Ready or not. Love your videos.
About the mods section of the video, I would highly recommend using the Nexus mods page over the built in game bit, I run a good few dozen mods and have never had any kind of issue/crash
The AAA gaming industry won't even give us a game like Urban Chaos Riot Response today.
Glad to see Indie games that are trying to fill these gaps.
Wish we got Ready Or Not on consoles too.
I will always remember SWAT 3 vividly as the first time I've seen an NPC actually blink in a video-game. That was insane levels of "realism" to me back then.
i remember being blown away by that and how bullets would leave a different type of wound depending if you hit flesh or body armor.
@@conway-jr4ce I was today years old when I learned this, wow!
Literally had to use your squad mates for clearing rooms as suspects had 50ms reaction time
SWAT 3 was pre-installed on my first PC. So intimidating and oppressive. I loved it although I had no idea what I was doing.
Loved that game. I still remember playing the barricaded suspect mission and the dude would always be hiding in a different place. I once found him under the bed, not sure if it was a bug but that was crazy to 6 year old me.
Excellent video - probably the best on RON I’ve seen yet.
Hi drewski
Appreciate the compliment
And I appreciate your amazing video!@@CriticalNobody
I liked the missions that were shouting matches resulting in no shots (or at most non-lethals) fired the most.
Get on the ground! Get down! Don't do it! Drop the gun! Drop it! Get down!
*unloads and miss all rounds*@@icarusgaming6269
just like you said, swat 4 is a game i like to revisit once a year, it has that unique gameplay that other games just don't have. Might give this game a try someday
20/3 would rec. its the sme thing but better.
@@HokiHumby If only gathering evidence and having to tie them up was as easy as Swat 4
Imagine paper work in Swat 4.
@@sleepingrrandom2876 they will fix this, December 13th, relax
Right now this game essentially has only free play mode. There will be some kind of structured campaign eventually. Right now they're working on individual mission planning
Damn, where’d you go? I loved your content. Busy with your work outside of UA-cam?
Biggest "pet peeve" (and it could have changed) but the fact that you never get dialog from your squad mates like you do from Swat 4.
Maybe it will be a late game patch but going into single player and seeing things like the militia, the meth heads or the sweet 16 gone wrong are all moments I think that would add to a squad mate commenting "WTF!? This is some fucked up shit man" or little things like "thanks for the assist" "suspect is armed/ suspect has a knife!" would really add to the game.
There’s a mod for it.
@@SirDylan23gib link
It's planned afaik, just not implemented as to get the kinks out.
It’s in
You forgot one key detail. If your squad mates have the same gun, if you drop a full mag they can take it. Which mean you can give ammo. A strategy we have is having the shield guy carry as much mags as possible
Swat 4 has literally shaped my life. I found it on a demo disk from a PC gaming magazine that my brother bought when I was 11. Ever since then I was hooked, even though it was only the one auto garage level. A while later I joined a clan. After a couple years, looking for more, one of our partner clans pointed me at "Arma". And from there it went, played Arma in a clan for a bit, then founded my own with a friend from school. Learned programming to make tools to help with our Arma playing. Today, I'm still in that same clan after over 10 years and my day job is programming... On Arma.
I hope that Ready or Not will shape the next Generation, just like Swat shaped me all those years ago.
Ready or Not is great, but.. it still has some way to go. I do play it with the friend from way back then but.. Still today, I play Swat 4 more often. I don't know what it is, but it hasn't hooked me yet. But I know that the right people are on the Job, and I trust their vision.
That footage of Police Quest in the beginning of the video brought back the 90’s feels! I was obsessed with PQ3 and 4 as a teen.
Definitely need a follow-up video following the 1.0 release which essentially changed every single meta aspect of the game, including unlocks, maps, AI and more!
i've been loving this rise of realistic tactical shooters. Lately I've been into Ground Branch though, mostly for its customization.
I love this game!
Bought it the first day it launched onto Early Access, having followed it since the teaser trailer came out back in 2017.
As someone who knows nothing about game development, I've been fascinated watching test maps of white walls and orange objects be transformed into these gorgeous maps with more detail than I can possible find on my own. I also just love the fact that it's a tactical shooter that can feasibly be played alone (friend? What are those?).
And the music, my god the music! The Adam Update changed the main menu theme to what is without a doubt one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard! "Hauntingly Beautiful" are the only words that can describe it.
I personally find the whole game to be a love letter to the tactical police community, not glorifying them in any sort of "copaganda" but doing so in a very respectful adult way, showing how important, how dangerous, and how disturbing their work can be.
My most memorable moment from Ready Or Not was my first run-through of Brisa Cove. I knew from the briefing blurb that it a veteran group had caused an incident requiring our intervention and I knew the map from when it was a test map but when I got into the map and was being forced to kill or be killed by one-legged combat veterans, it broke my heart a little. These poor vets were just trying to get their VA benefits they were owed for their service and when backed into a corner they resorted to what they know how to do best: fight. As a vet myself I not only was sympathetic to their cause but I felt terrible for shooting people I couldn't help but see as brothers in arms. I've also never been able to successfully complete the objective of "arrest 3 suspects" on that map, and knowing how important death before surrender is to those men I know it's not for a lack of trying on my part. I can't reiterate enough: a videogame got me to feel bad for "killing" lines of code! Even games like Spec Ops: The Line never got me to feel bad because I knew it was a game, and I knew that's what they were trying to make me feel, but Ready or Not broke through that part of my brain!
God only knows what it'll be like when the devs get around to lifting their big heavy brass balls enough to release the "building where children are educated" map. I'm both nervous and excited (excited doesn't feel like the right word) for that update which I'm sure will cause a shitstorm.
Church bro. It's absolutely criminal of how little the soundtrack is talked about tho. Zack Bower is something else, the combat OST with the Amen Break sample never get old- hell even the earlier soundtracks by Dan Liston are also masterpieces, perhaps not in the combat apartment, but in tone and atmosphere. It's just so iconic.
2016
My biggest problem with RoN is how immediately hostile and aware enemy suspects are, when compared to SWAT4 it's a lot harder to use non-lethals
11:39
Yes, exactly, thank you bringing that up.
Yeah I've resorted to mods so me and my friends can have fun without getting domed through 4 panes of glass or from across the post office warehouse.
@@Weneedaplague Which have worked best for you?
@@Weneedaplagueit’s always from the oddest angles , the nightclub mission is ridiculously hard if you are playing with friends . When I played with the bots whilst it was very hard I would send the bots in first lmao
@@meatypatte7125Night Club is very hard map, so is the "veterans" map. But they also should be, military trained should show great effect on how hard it is for your SWAT team to work around. Same goes for your extremists in the night club. Night Club is especially hard because of those angles and lighting. But i kinda like the challenge in it, you cant just go into certain areas before having half of the team secure certain areas. Which is exactly how it would go IRL. Only thing i would have love to have in game, is the sniper team to provide lookout and cover. To further adding realism
@@Kuutti_original I am do like how difficult some of the missions are don’t get me wrong but sometimes it’s straight up bs .
it truly is amazing to me that you got to review this game, great vid as always
In regards to the meh solo experience, the devs did mention that the full 1.0 release will have a full story campaign with roguelike elements I believe? So it's nice to have actual context on the missions and places that you have to go to.
As someone who grew up in Detroit and went to a lot of raves in teens and twenties, I found myself in about a dozen house and building raids. Civilians without warrants will always do whatever the swat team says in my experience - even if they're the type to give cops shit during a routine stop or arrest. The suspects that SWAT is there for, will usually hide their guns because they're not for the law 90% of the time, but for "protection" and "business security". If you're getting raided, odds are you're going down for something, so your'e best bet is to minimize the damage and evidence against yo in the time you have. Hell, even a guy that was russian mob who ran an after hours rave and mdma hookup didn't open fire on the police when it was raided (I heard he jumped from the back window, but don't know what happened to him, he was upstairs and I was downstairs with the other 50-80 people, but the only gunshots were swat firing on my friend Mac in the leg and ass with rubber bullets for running from swat as they aproached the building while he had stepped outside lol. He was black and purple for a month lmfao).
I remember a civilian in SWAT 4, I think the Food Wall level, he started to comply with me, then as I started to approach for the cuff he got up. "No, not this time.. I'm not going back". Maybe he was a suspect that simply didn't have a gun equiped to begin with, I dont know, but i seemed novel and realistic. It takes a lot for people to go up against body armor, helmets, shields, grenades, smg/assault rifles, etc - while they're comparatively butt naked with a 9mm pistol :p
Man I love your content! Do you think the splinter cell remake will actually materialize?
Didn't know about this one! Swat 4 was so fun with friends, I'm gonna try to get the old gang playing this together. Thanks for the intro vid man
its been 6 months i'm running out of my nobody supply so i have been being a glutton for chaos theory to fill the void in my soul
Really would love to try this game, but I really hope they continue to work on friendly AI for the singleplayer experience, because when I do get around to it, that's how I'll be playing it. I just don't have any friends who are in to this kind of game anymore.
As low as I've played SWAT 4 with only a few replays on the first two missions, every replay always felt different with not only how suspects are formatted but also the innocent bystanders. Emulating the real and uncertain tension that a squad of police officers go through every day. I hope Ready Or Not keeps the spirit alive for years to come.
There's something about the way you talk about games that just make your videos infinitely replayable.
I've just finished yet another binge of all your 'Reviewing Every X'-videos for what must be the 5th time by now and time just flew by. Keep up the good work, please!
I remember fondly playing valley of the dolls, discovering the uhh...red room, and 'accidentally' ND'ing Voll. Repeatedly.
me and my friend just got the game. while never being able to beat the mansion map, we did stumble across the basement and our only reaction was "switching to full auto"
I just found this channel after diving into the past, watching old videos I loved at the time. Including a few of you messing with people on Black Ops 2.
Glad I found the new channel. Immediate sub
Thank you so much for the great video. I was on the fence about Ready or Not purely because most of my friends play Diablo 4 right now but your positive interactions with randoms tipped the scale for me. Bought it on Steam, downloading right now! I really loved SWAT 4, especially for how mature and at times downright dark it alowed itself to be. So glad that tense atmosphere and hard as nails gameplay is back. Left you a well deserved sub - thanks again, man! Love your channel!
Nexus mods works super easy. Any mod that doesn't require assets can be run by just the host while everyone else just boots normally. Love it
The example at 6:20 is really nice!
Like, you can even see the civilian AI looks at the "guy with a gun".
And you think it's just random AI doing random AI nonsense.
But then bam, it's a completely functional AI doing functional shit.
Maybe for the surrendering they could make it where each type of enemy has a different default rate that slowly rises as the team starts to pick them off or arrest them one by one.
They’re really cocky in the beginning with the numbers on their side, but they slowly realize they’re still getting beaten and start to give up or hide.
I remember first playing Swat 4 back in early 2007, over a mates house, sorry from uk, and it was unbelievable, how mechanics and sound every time , you had to tell the suspect “Hand and get down” or “TOC, this is entry , it was fantastic, never for get it, and first time I played Black and White 2 at the same time wow so long ago, anyway memories are great, and present good, but the future going to be sick, anyway. Been watching your channel for 4 or 5 years now keep at it Mac
Thanks for the recommendation, man, got the game for myself trusting the video and your taste and really enjoyed it so far. Downloading classic SWAT maps was one of the first things I did 😅
Thank you for showing me, Xeph, and Reap's map (Sanctum's Deceit)! Love the content.
One thing I wish they could change is to randomize more what civilians look like. Some maps are themed where it makes sense for suspects and civilians to be obvious, but when I played the hospital map, the terrorists can sometimes be disguised as doctors, and that makes it where you have to properly challenge and identify everyone, as you never know who is a threat. The other request I would have is being able to order someone to walk towards you so you don’t have to arrest them in a dangerous location.
Yeah, it would be easy and cheap as shit to just buy a janitor or nurse outfit and hide in the crowd. This is a real terrorist tactic.
That drug den mission is a nightmare, can't even tell who's sane or insane.
One of the funniest mods I saw was one that uses voice lines from SWAT 3. Apparently they’re far more realistic and immersive than the standard ones.
Great video, man. I absolutely love this game.
A few details overlooked:
you can pick up dropped mags from your friends.
Gas masks are ballistic.
You can wedge cracked doors.
AI can see lights.
MISSED YOUR CONTENT , !!!!!! a great video as always
I remember seeing this at electronics boutique and brought it and realized my dusty 95 PC couldn't play it but was amazed at what the back of the box showed off, glad to see the game was never forgotten 😊
Good review. Glad you took some time talking about how the AI forces your hand into shooting everyone. I feel like it would be a real swat successor if it felt less like you're Rambo shooting on sight.
Also, having some briefing for a mission before going in would be nice. Right now it's hard to know if the enemies will be heavily armored, organized, etc.
This is an extremely well made video!
I've been a fan of old school tactical shooters; played a bunch of R6 Raven Shield and SWAT 4 back then.
These are the type of games that big companies just don't make anymore nowadays.
When RoN was first announced, my initial reaction was, this is too good to be true. Especially at the time, the planned release schedule looked super unrealistic. Then followed by a long wait, when we finally see the launch of early access, the wait was well worth it.
I've read that they're planning on releasing the 1.0 version this year. Really looking forward to it.
Swat 4 and his expansion was my most played game back in the end of the 2000s. Heck I played if religiously every single day, mainly online with other operators trying to complete missions successfully.
Still to this day I play it occasionally (once or twice a year) just as a time sink.
Need to try the Ready or Not, since it is in my radar for a while.
Man SWAT 4... I adore the Fairfax residence level, so creepy through and through
Been following this game since it's initial teasers, absolutely astounding to see how far it has come and how much of a player base it has attracted. Sadly I'm not really into MP Shooters these days due to burnout but damn, is it fun to watch friends play.
Great overview. I've had a great time playing RoN in mostly single player, and can't wait to see where the future takes this game.
Can we PLEASE get something like this for the original Rainbow Six? I've been playing the first couple R6 games for over a decade, and they're some of the best games I've ever played. I'm really desperate for a sequel/remake of those games.
Thanks for this amazing video man! I'm a retired swat 4 veteran but after this video I am actually considering getting a new PC and start playing games again!
In Swat 3 mission 2 or 3, the mansion.
I was scared of the thought, if i lose too many times it'll be game over like in Mario or GTA or other Beat Em' Ups, but once i figured it wasn't the truth, I would replay it so many times.
Also the Hospital is the best map in the series, when i switched to freely selecting maps and found it out, it was a blast. the love for Hospital Maps came thanks to Bullfrog's Theme Hospital.
Emergency Room 3 (2001) by Legacy Interactive (Edits, and confusion) is another game i played too much, it's amazing low budget game.
This was the best overview so far. Your assessment is spot on and if I were to have your flair for speaking, I think my video would be a cheap rip-off of this exact script. I loved SWAT 3, I loved SWAT4 and it's expansion more. So much so that I ran a SWAT 4 server for many years. Then famine struck, no other game in over a decade filled that void. I almost left gaming completely until I saw a Ready or Not video on UA-cam. I was hooked five minutes in and I owned the game within minutes and everything you said is true. I too have bought the game for friends and family, so I had peeps to play with. So thank you for making this video and sharing your passions so well versed. I subscribed and I will be a faithful follower until you start following Overwatch and Fortnite and then you are on your own pal...LOL
I loved Police Quest so much. There probably aren’t many people left who have even played it, much less people who have fond memories of it but it does some really interesting things that haven’t been repeated since. You mentioned the SWAT series and this game being police sims, but they’re far from it - they’re action games. Police Quest is a police sim. You do routine patrol work, you investigate crimes, you go to a morning briefing, you have to type out each specific step in order to shoot a gun, pass a test to even use a gun, inspect your squad car before taking it out, and so many more things that I’ve forgotten in the 10+ years it’s been since I last played it. All of the police work is handled in a point-and-click adventure game-y way, but it still feels more immersive than most other games that have called themselves simulations over the years. It’s super tedious to play and intentionally vague to incentivize calling the Sierra help line, but it’s still 100% worth experiencing at least once even if it’s watching a Let’s Play or something.
The game is great and worth buying. Only issue as you mentioned is the enemy AI that is WAY too trigger happy that forces you to almost always 'shoot on sight' since you know they won't surrender. A shame because this does away with so much of the whole 'tactical' part of the game. Hope they fix this sooner rather than later.
I love this game so much, even tho it is not always polished. It goes hard. It’s always fun and rarely predictable. I do think AI needs to be a little more likely to comply for both suspects and civilians. They almost always resist. They have improved some issues that arose with unauthorized force a while back.
Can't wait for a follow up of some kind! been playing a bunch of this recently and the campaign mode is rough difficulty wise IMO
Thankfully with the Adam update late last year, the issue of hyper John Wick suspects was mostly solved, and a lot of new suspect behaviours were added. Unfortunately we are still waiting for void to update the SWAT AI so that they are no longer complete and utter muffins.
Hey there, i just wanna say that thank you for creating such content despite your mental problems, i hope you're having fun while making videos. I love you ❤
Great video. You earned my subscription.
I played Kings Quest and police quest on a IBM PC Jr 2.
I remember if you didn't do a walk around of your vehicle for pre patrol inspection, you would make it 3 blocks and get a flat. 😂
Larry the louge lizard, too. And I used to play the hell out of a text-based quest game, too.
I remember getting that flat. It was about as far as I got.
“Entry team to TOC” 😭 engraved in my mind for essentially my entire life. I grew up playing SWAT 4 with my brother since I was barely 6
A great thing about SWAT 4 is LAN multiplayer support. I still play SWAT 4 alongside Ready or Not with my friends.
I've put a LOT of time in ready or not. I love when you find randoms who actually are tactical and take things serious. And all of the swat ported maps and fan made maps are great!
My first experience with them playing dead was awesome. I was standing over his body clearing the stairs behind him and watched him get up when I started reloading. I panicked so hard he stabbed me and killed me. I was crying it was the funniest thing
This has easily become my favorite game, sheerly from the horror and tactical gameplay. Its a special kind of thing when you can make a game that is highly realistic, not just in gameplay, and it still be arguably one of the best games out right now.
By the way, what is that banger at the end of the video? I need that song on my playlist.
I love how everyone went to the tripwire bit, and I think i know why. As he was doing his outro i clicked off, and as the yt homepage was loading i heard "and watch out for tripwires", so i went back and it looks like many people did the same thing
I remember the cult and the basement serial killer missions from the old swat. And playing this gave me a nostalgia trip.
Great video as usual my friend!
Having played SWAT 4 and Ready or Not extensively, I believe SWAT 4 is still the best tactical shooter out there. Ready or Not is awesome in it’s own right, but definitely less polished and fleshed out. It attempts to follow what made SWAT 4 great, but falls short. SWAT 4 is full of life, details, AI is the right amount of difficulty, and the maps are the right sizes. Not too mention the AI lines and reactions. It’s more complete in many aspects. Ready or Not does have awesome gunplay though.
Well ready or not is still very much in early access so I would wait a bit
@@Captain_fubar I’ve been an early access supporter when they didn’t even have any real maps. It was just all grids. Trust me, I’ve waited. I’m well aware it’s “early access”, but that doesn’t mean I can’t compare it as it is.
Damn, that slap at 13:32 felt personal
I'm deff gonna get this game! Loved swat 3 as a kid, this looks like it's spiritual successor. :D
u are hands down,the best reviewer in youtube imo...u go so in depth...u deserve more subs
The CQB in this game is second to none. You have to clear EVERY corner or you're dead.
This video really helped me to understand better RONT hope to get a deal on it and some copies to my friends
Before RON, i played a lot of Zero Hour, which is definitely a tactical shooter with a lot of maps and stuff, but no ltl, civilians or similar, and more focus on CS Style 5v5s. Still quite fun and at 5 $ instead of more than thirty, still a valid play with some friends
If you miss the OG Rainbow 6 experience, You also need to take a look at Ground Branch!
I learned to touch type as a kid playing the Police Quest series as there was no mouse input back on windows 2.0 games had to type in your commands to pick things up.. 33 years later I'm a casual 70 wpm give or take. To be an efficient Officer you needed to type fast and correct haha. RoN is great fun though, not quite SWAT 4 level of greatness yet, but I look forward to each new update it brings with hope it can reach an equal level or even surpass it.
Great video. Now i wanna go back to it.
If you haven't played Zero Hour it's pretty fun too, but the enemies are easier and the gear is simpler. I would recommend it if you feel like playing something like RoN but less frustrating. And it has PvP, which is real fun with friends.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING. If you haven't played milsims, it's a real awesome experience. Squad, Hell Let Loose and Post Scriptum are kind of a realistic Battlefield, with a lot of teamwork required (my favorite being Squad). And Arma 3 (even the first Operation Flashpoint) is the supreme war simulator, with all the content and possibilities you could imagine. In some ways, this games are like Ready or Not, but at a full other scale.
I had so many good memories with the official discord. The feeling of planning the hospital with 9 other players is just perfect.
As of writing this, the devs have confirmed major updates in the works for their story mode including mental health of the officers being effected by how you play, permadeath in story mode (for you or npc officers), highlighting dropped evidence like guns and such, and greatly improving SWAT AI. So it’s only going to get better.
I remember once during the Mindjot mission, I was in a tight hallway with a semi-auto shotgun with slugs. I play solo so I only ever have AI with me so im the “pointman”. A mindjot security guy pops out from behind an unloaded server box and I shoot him point blank in the center of his throat with a 12ga slug. Dude drops his gun, his mouth falls open, he slightly leans forward, before toppling backwards all while his neck is just POURING blood down his neck in a way that didnt seem scripted, much more fluid looking. Im not squeamish but I had to pause and take a second because the brutality took me off guard. Especially since the gunplay is very disorienting to seeing a shot like that pointblank was very special and hasnt really happened in my dozens of hours in RoN
4:38 rainbow six 3 (there are mutliple of them btw) is also really good. It's been 4 years since I've last played them, but I enjoyed them a lot. It's the last rainbow six set of entires that are tactical.
So, the guy in the gas station, the food Samaritan is actually a veteran and the dead dog was his. His Glock jammed and he got taken out, it's really sad actually :[
12:15 the first time i saw an NPC putting himself to the forever sleep, i was in Brixley Talent Time with a friend chasing a bad guy. He steps outside and when we catch him and tell him to drop his weapon, he puts the weapon on his chin and shot. I stoped everything. I literally wasn't able to react. I've never seen something like this in ANY videogame. Even for someone that makes giant piles of civilians body in ArmA even in RoN, i would go spraying everything that moves in some missions just for fun. Seing that shook my core.
I remember those Police Quest games. I was so excited to play as a Cop, but I kept getting stuck at stupid parts where you had to click on a very specific thing
I actually played swat 4 in January of this year and have to say it is a wonderful game I do need to figure out how to mod it. Did some mods to modernize it a bit.
you brought ready or not for your friends bro your such a good friend
Nice Review. Although i am kinda shocked that your channel has nothing about "Escape From Tarkov". Seems like it would be right up your alley.
HEEEYYYY I remember playing with you. Happy to see that you love the game.
The only thing deterring me from buying RoN is the AI, it feels like most of the time the lethal gunfights are inevitable. It's not something I would find enjoyable in a tactical shooter. But, we shall see when it comes out of Early access. :)
Although I must say that some of the problems mentioned about SWAT 4 in this video are fixed with mods, such as: Elite Force and its "sub-mod", First Responders. They are essentially the same but both work differently in their core (for example, the latter disables optiwand) They have quite a few additions (weapons and shields) and QoL changes which the base game doesn't have, like the penalties you've been issued because of the unauthorized force you used, so there's no need to wait until the end to see.
If any of you revisit Swat 4 again, give either these 2 mods a try. :)
That statement is so true when coming to such messed up thing. "The shock value wears off but the intensity never does" from personal experience i can agree after awhile the shock of messed up things does wear off you go unfazed and think the extremely unnormal is normal it can and does mess up the way one things and acts towards people no matter how uncomfortable i would recommend listening to the lore of this games from recordings in the precinct to those on the maps and all the other hidden things cuss the reality of this game though sad to say is not far off from being the reality we live in.
Ready or not is still rough with its AI.
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield and the original Ghost Recon are is still the GOATs
As of the update coming out today, the gripe with the AI will be no more. The new AI looks fucking amazing.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one having problems with mods just not showing up, I just thought I was doing something wrong for the longest time. My only real complaint for the game is that the devs leave us in the dark for months and months at a time. That and we only get like one major update a year and it's more just fine tuning rather than adding new features. This game could really use a proper story campaign to take advantage of a lot of things about the environment you talked about.
That Police Quest II intro music ❤
I play solo all the time. Not ideal but absolutely worth your money IF its your kind of game. If you plan on playing with people then I suggest not taking the ranking too seriously in the beginning. Learn the game and enjoy the trainwreck when someone fucks up. The intensity is what makes the game great imo.
Ready or not treats you like an actual operator. Which I love since I know what I signed up for. Hope the game doesn't get taken down since it gives you a real deal approach
You covered the game so we'll, great video. And an incredible game !
Personally I downloaded a realism mod that doesn't deduct or add points for not grabbing evidence, as in a real life situation, tactical team members do not secure weapons, they take down the threats, and once that's over CID comes in and deals with it

Wtf
Game still needs a lot more work imo.
1) AI needs improvement - Their reaction time is way too good sometimes. Given the graphic design is intentionally murky and blurry, you can barely see the targets but the AI has pinpoint accuracy sometimes with perfect reaction.
2) More polish required on animations. It can be very hard to see the AI's intended movements (graphic design dont help too). It also doesnt help that the Ai doesnt seem to respond to getting shot by bullets, so there is little feedback for the player to understand if the shot hit or not.
3) Sound design - Yes the guns sound great. But how about door sounds and importantly footsteps? I can barely hear the targets patrolling around and there is no atmosphere to the locations. Hostages / civilians dont make any sounds, enemies creep around with any sound. Doors open without any sound. It kinda feels like the game is muted.
4) Darkness and Brightness - The game is too dark. Not in terms of the subject matter, but just too dark in brightness. I cant see shit. Maybe you might say that is realistic of whatever, but it does not affect the AI in identifying you though (as said AI tend to have perfect aim and target acquisition). The flashlight is absolutely horrible imo, can only light up a 5cmx5cm circle of light in front of you. So many attachments to guns but give me the attachment called "a better lumen flashlight" please.
5) Coop AI - SWAT 4 coop AI has taken the brunt of memes for being quite stupid. But Ready or Not takes the cake, they are brain dead stupid.
6) Unnecessary scripted movements - This refers to the things like securing evidences and zip tying targets. It should not be tagged to an animation where you cant move out off after activating the action. Too tedious.
Game needs a lot more work.
SWAT 3 brings back memories...
I might have to try this one. I've had real military police training during my service in the army this last year and I just can't play shooters now without doing it like it's CQB :D
I feel like the AI not surrendering until being hurt makes sense, regardless of scenario. Dumb crooks think they're invincible, so they'll try to take you on despite being outclassed. But if they get wounded or stunned, they're probably thinking "Ow, fuck! That hurts! Screw this, I'm giving up!"
Yes, this is a good point, but EVERY single one of them acts the same way.
