What would you guys like to see?

Right now, I'm working on a short demo for Hope Afloat, but, since the demo is from a soldiers point of view on a military base at the time of the outbreak, I'd like to know what kind of weapons you guys would like to see in Hope Afloat. There's no poll, since it isn't a pick and choose, and there'll be amble opportunity to have a nice collection of weapons in the game. So, any and all replies would be great. Right now the current weapons include:

 

Beretta 92F [Pistol]

Vektor CP1 [Pistol]

Taurus Judge [Revolver]

Street Sweeper [shotgun]

KRISS Vector [sub-Machine Gun]

Steyr AUG [Assault Rifle]

H&K XM8 [Assault Rifle]

Remington 700 [Rifle - Bolt Action]

Hunting Crossbow [special]

 

And there's much more to come, but I'd really like to know what you guys would like to see in the way of weapons in Hope Afloat.

well i guess this depends on what you're doing. Is this based on a real military like the US Army, or is it all made up. If it's real usually the military have a list of their standard side arms online (US and Canada do at least), but if it's made up then just put what you want.

 

In my personal opinion no military game is complete without an AK-47 lol

What is the significance of weapons? All I could say is a small divers range, with lots of boom-boom. So not entirely helpful.

 

But in terms of the game, I want to see rape and pillaging given it involves military. Doesn't have to be game play, eg hit "A" key as fast as you can. I'm thinking cutscene.

I would personally love to see a P90. My most fav gun of all time.

yeah P90s are pretty awesome, but a RPG launcher or Rocket launcher would be nice too.

Thanks for the reply guys :grin:

The character in the demo is part of a para-military group, funded by the government, and also available for mercenary jobs, which is pretty heavily involved in weapon research and development. Their role in the game, as well as connection with other companies and corporations, isn't revealed for the time being. And of course the AK-47 is required :thumbsup:

The significance of weapons is to let the player collect them and find their favourite amongst them. There's lots of customization and upgrade options available, and, although, for example, an M4A1 and an M16A3 may be rather equal in damage, there are lots of different contributing factors, including accuracy (range), attachments, rate-of-fire, etc.. For example, the M16A3 is more accurate, and the variety of attachments is different. The way a huge collection of guns is evened out is by the limitation in space in your inventory (you can hold 8 objects in your inventory at any time, but there's also a storage section back at the raft), and ammunition variants and types. For example, taking an M4A1 and M16A3 at the same time would be rather redundant, as both use the same type of ammo (5.56x45mm NATO). I don't want a system, like in Resident Evil, for example, where you can carry a hundred millions guns on your back at any given time, and every one has a different ammo type.. However, in saying that, I do want there to be a nice collection of guns that you can obtain.

 

In terms of button mashing, there won't be much much button mashing in cutscenes, but if you ever pick up a single-shot weapon, there'll be a great deal of button mashing.

Because of Stargate, right? :grin: But, regardless of where it's from, the P90 is a beautiful weapon; compact, accurate, and incredibly reliable. I'm surprised we haven't seen more weapons which use the clip-style it uses, since it's incredibly reliable and rarely jams.

 

 

yeah P90s are pretty awesome, but a RPG launcher or Rocket launcher would be nice too.

 

I'll see what I can do :thumbsup:
