NickHOST
The visuals are phenomenal.
NickHOST
Call of Duty, just to set the stage, Call of Duty has been and always will be the apex predator in the FPS genre.
NickHOST
They're the best in the biz, right? So we know that we're going to have a very well-polished game with very tight gunplay, and it's going to function well.
NickHOST
The real thing is, can you give me the set piece and the story moments to make a really compelling campaign package? Can you give me a flesh out enough narrative that I'm going to care about the characters in the moment? And...
NickHOST
Like, all-time set piece moments, character development.
NickHOST
Like, this is a video game, dude.
NickHOST
And then, BO6, I think, nailed the spectacle aspect of what it was going after better than... a lot of FPS campaigns, a lot of campaigns that, like, the Call of Duty campaigns of seeing what's happening in Vanguard, seeing what's happening, obviously, what happened with BO7, it's like, oh, those games don't got it.
NickHOST
BO6 had it, dude.
John RodenburgHOST
first-person shooting?
Steve LloydHOST
You can do some FPSs, absolutely.
Steve LloydHOST
All right.
Steve LloydHOST
There's really nothing that, and it's Rockstar Games that creates Grand Theft Auto, and there's really nothing that you can't do.
TdawgHOST
Man, I'm telling you what, I would love nothing more than to play a really good Halo game right now.
TdawgHOST
I think if a really good Halo game came out and you had it with the social playlists and the rank playlists and a little big team battle thrown in there, I would jump to it right now because to me, there's nothing to play, FPS-wise.
TdawgHOST
I feel like everything just misses the mark.
TdawgHOST
Battlefield... for some reason, is the game that I've been playing the most in the FPS market.
NateHOST
Now they can get a big chunk of that from Destiny, and potentially even more.
NateHOST
Which kind of worries me, because why would a publisher want to keep a game or franchise running only so that it can compete against itself? Call of Duty and Destiny are both FPSs competing with themselves, published by the same developer.
NateHOST
which is scary stupid because I'm not sure if I've heard of a company holding two wildly successful shooters EA I think they almost did it with Titanfall and Battlefield but for some reason it feels like Titanfall died down I don't know why I really like Titanfall I don't know what's happened though I really like it but I've just never seen a company managed to pull off two of these hugely successful franchises in the form that um that's never happened essentially If Activision does props to them, amazing.
NateHOST
We can keep the franchise.
Space TomatoHOST
Last episode, we did a lot of looking into Squadron 42 and what people experienced while they were playing it.
Space TomatoHOST
But it sounds like the most interesting thing that improved was actually the FPS and AI gameplay.
Space TomatoHOST
So I have reached out to the one, the only Enigmatic, the currently best ranked Squadron 42 player in the world, technically, to talk about kind of what was seen there FPS wise and what is Squadron doing better than Star Citizen? Because this is honestly, I think one of the places people were most concerned about with the game.
Space TomatoHOST
So thank you so much for joining me, Enigmatic.
Space TomatoHOST
If you would like to just kind of tell people where you come from and why this is a focus for you, that could start us off.
Space TomatoHOST
That's probably some experience.
Space TomatoHOST
A beginner level for Counter-Strike.
Space TomatoHOST
When it comes to Star Citizen, then, what drew you to this game if you were so FPS-oriented before?
KainitsuHOST
It's good.
KainitsuHOST
But the first Half-Life game really changed how FPSs work and everything.
KainitsuHOST
Because it used to be like, oh, here's a very, very simple story.
KainitsuHOST
Now go shoot stuff.
KevinHOST
They're extremely cozy.
KevinHOST
Cozy FPSs.
KevinHOST
Yeah.
KevinHOST
I forgot John Goodman was in those games.
FalconHOST
We're
ErichHOST
going to play our
FalconHOST
cozy FPSs.
FalconHOST
So a lot of bad things happened this year.
ErichHOST
Left 4 Dead.
ErichHOST
Turok, Left 4 Dead, Rogue, Like, Cooperative, FPS, Live Service.
ErichHOST
This is like a weird thing.
ErichHOST
A subgenre.
JohnHOST
Yeah, at some point we had to do Halo.
JohnHOST
We didn't do Halo with the other FPSs.
JohnHOST
We may just do Halo as a solo piece.
JohnHOST
It's got a very critical role in really everything.
JohnHOST
You also had the LAN party element.
JohnHOST
There's a lot of little things Halo did very, very well that changed gaming.
TomHOST
It proved you could make FPSs actually work on consoles.
TomHOST
Yeah.
Brandon PerkinsHOST
Um, And also the fact of like how interactive a lot of those levels were.
Brandon PerkinsHOST
There were things you could do in Duke Nukem 3D that you could not do in other FPSs.
Brandon PerkinsHOST
You know, it wasn't all just shooting all the time.
Brandon PerkinsHOST
There was a bunch of other stuff involved too.
