Thread 717492924

From the devs of Syrian Warfare and Terminator Dark Fate - Defiance.

"At this time, Steam has declined to publish the game’s store page. They have issued an additional requirement: we must first submit a playable build of the game for a full content review. Based on the results of that review, Valve will make a final decision on whether the game will be allowed on the platform.

We are currently working on preparing this build. As soon as it’s ready, we will submit it to Valve and then wait for their decision."

Key Features:

>No health bars for vehicles — damage is calculated module by module, factoring in armor protection and impact force. Damage affects the functionality of each vehicle component.
>Enhanced cover system — significantly increases infantry survivability and adds depth to tactical flanking maneuvers.
>Simulated physical and moral condition of soldiers — combat performance depends on both. Units need to be rotated for resupply and rest.
>Realistic military logistics — equipment and ammunition must be replenished. Units cut off from supply lines may be lost entirely.
>Physics-based destruction — buildings and structures can be destroyed not just visually, but functionally, affecting mission tactics—especially in urban combat.
>Experience system — soldiers and vehicle crews gain experience, improving their combat effectiveness over time.
>Strike group management — players choose which units and vehicles to bring into the next mission, forming a core strike group.
>Between-mission customization — upgrade vehicles, equip soldiers, and swap out infantry weapons before deploying.
>Enemy equipment can be captured and used — use the battlefield to your advantage.
>Tactical variety — smoke grenades, airstrikes, artillery support, building assaults, recon drones, and large UAVs. The game reflects realistic military tactics from early 2022.

I just hope the campaign is fun, Syrian Warfare was the most fun I had with a strategy game since World in Conflict. Front Edge expanded on it quite nicely too, but I don't care much about skirmish and multiplayer.

>>717494608
>hope the campaign is fun
Should be considering how hard their main gamedev pushed for an interesting narrative despite push from government for propaganda. In an interview he mentioned:

>working with government is painful. You have a veteran and an official in the same room, veteran tells you how it went down, official tells you to remove “uncomfortable” moments. However, without those bad moments you’re left with a bland story that has no soul. It went to absurd levels when during development they were told not to show tank shooting in buildings, even if there are enemies inside because thats not how Russian forces operate

Considering that government was also against adding morale/battle fatigue shellshock system because it would discredit the army but it ended up being added, I think he pushed through and we will get a fun game.

Not looking too hot for Hohols. Last great Ukrainian game was Metro2033 series.

>>717494608
Hopefully they ironed out the balancing problems from Terminator. Santa Fe Road and Oklahoma are the most torturous missions I have ever played.

>>717496749
Its Russian game

>>717495016
Old Call of Duty games are pure propaganda, doesn't make them less fun to play.

>>717492924 (OP)
the people who made syrian warfare didn't make terminator dark fate defiance
there's also no mention of this project on their website
I think you're making this up desu

https://www.mobygames.com/game/218097/terminator-dark-fate-defiance/credits/windows
Officially they didn't make the game because of their ties to the Russian government but its development team consisted entirely of people from Cats Who Play
You can still find references to them making the game because they were officially making it before the war started. The publisher is also Russian and they are all working together to avoid sanctions

legit why are russians so shit at gamedev while other ex-ussr republics managed somehow to make it on world stage
ukraine did stalker which is based on a novel written by a russian author Strugatsky (roadside picnic) and metro which is also based on a novel written by a russian author and the game is also set in russia, they also have a ubisoft office in Kyiv
bielorussia made world of tanks and other world of slop games that are among the most popular games with most revenue in russia
poland has CDPR
estonia made disco elysium

It's nothing like Men of War, it's like their previous games.

>>717497994
I'm pretty sure they made them, they still post news about the game on their social media.

>>717498718
russians made pathologic which is better than all the shit you posted

>>717497007
I loved the music in that game and its atmosphere overall.

Off the top of my head. Russia and Ukraine both dominate mobile F2P market.

Trump will bring an end to this horrible bloodshed soon.
NO MORE BROTHER WARS!

>>717499796
Most of the "Ukrainian" and "Belorussian" studios are also populated and headed by ethnic Russians too. The original Stalker didn't even have a Ukrainian localizaiton on release, kek.

>>717499342
you are losing. your country wont exist soon )))

It's Real Time Tactics.

What the fuck is this /pol/ bait atrocity?

>>717498718
Owlcat is making their own Mass Effect right now and they have a decent chance of shooting into complete mainstream with it
But don't pretend 2008 hasn't dicked all slav game development, russian devs just relocated to the mobile game sector mostly because it was ridiculously profitable

Ukraine fatigue. Sick of seeing these retards everywhere demanding devs add Ukrainian to games when Russian is already in there as if their language is any different. Go fight your war, pussy.

>>717500006
is not pol bait. is real life. sorry you are nafo troon and have poor understanding of reality

Can I fight as the "bad guys"

If not I don't, care. Stalker 2 was so much Ukraineslop that a straight up wargame would be death by cringe to me

>>717500136
no more cuckraine soon )

>>717499420
>check workshop page
>mod filesize is listed at 27 GB
fucking HOW

>>717500034
The last time Owlcat had their chance to make it big is with Rogue Trader and it's not being talked about anymore.

>>717500213
you have no idea what you're talking about

Russia fatigue. Sick of seeing these retards everywhere demanding devs add Russian to games when Ukrainian is already in there as if their language is any different. Go fight your war, pussy.

>>717500319
That looks like concern trolling, most Russians are bilingual anyway.

I really hope Russia outlives it’s usefulness for China in my lifetime so I can see them invade you and cut the heads off all of you fucking zigger rodents

>>717499904
14:1 moment

>>717500454
>most Russians are bilingual
Except they aren't. If you played any online game you'd know. They fuck off and create "RU" servers while Europeans play English mostly. And that is a good thing. Because Russians ruin games like Foxhole where you can't pick servers

>>717499796
All trash tho, especially tarkov
forgot about war thunder

>>717497243
Sure, but I also meant due to game mechanics being tied to propaganda (morale and stability of troops), which in any other case would mean devs would get sent to gulag for discredeting Russian forces since even implying they can abandon their positions under battle stress is enough for a fine.

>>717500319
Battlefield 6 does not have Ukrainian language. Besides every Ukrainian localization that I've seen is just terrible. Cyberpunk one replaced all the swear words with shit like "Moskal" and other insults of Russians. Or Stalker 2 which had absolutely terrible voice acting with most of the cast just being terrible in Ukrainian. Most of the Ukrainian language that I have seen in games is not even real Ukrainian, just surzhik

>>717500079
>>717500319
Shut the fuck up, no one cares about your war. If you love your countries so much, go to the frontline and settle it there.

>>717500138
>Can I fight as the "bad guys"
No you can't play as Ukranians in this one.

>>717500616
>Silent storm and pathologic are trash
Maybe this is more to your taste?

Owlcat's real test will be when they decide to make their own IP instead of making a licensed game. Warhammer is way more popular and less autistic munchkin shit than Pathfinder, which helps them get more appeal, but now they're just making stuff for Games Workshop instead of Paizo.

>>717500705
>even real Ukrainian, just surzhik
You're complaining that Stalker 2 VA is actually realistic or do you actually want zone gopnics to use literature Ukrainian language?

>>717492924 (OP)
Sounds very deep in terms of tactical options. How big of a scale is this tho? I had troubles utilizing all the available options during real time gameplay in their previous game. This sort of thing sounds super sweaty.

>>717500828
The problem is that the rest of the game is written the same way. It's the same with essentially all the Ukrainian localizations that I've seen. Pure Ukrainian is dead, it was already quite unpopular and now it is simply poisoned by all the retards that began to use it for political reasons. Ukrainians starting to use Ukrainian was the final step that killed the identity of the Ukrainian language

>>717500659
>talks about propaganda
>while spewing propaganda
Very cool. The reason that mechanic was questioned is because the game is funded by the government, because no publisher wants to touch an ongoing conflict.

russians are born to die in the meat grinder its their highest honour

This game is just going to be apologetic "how everything that could go wrong went wrong" story for VDV?
I would play it just to see how russoids cope with the fact that their "elite forces" got screwed over by mall tier security guards and then fucked in the ass by ukr military

>>717501572

Are you joking? most russians barely know russian, let alone english.
t. russian who pretends to be a random european instead and not get associated with these animals

33000 frozen porkies returned in just couple months
400000+ MIA (source: Ukrainian Red Cross)
400000+ deserters (source: Ukrainian government speaker)
In one year videos of forced mobilization went from 1 every week to at least 3-5 daily

Booking a flight to Kyeef as soon as the war ends, will be drowning in pussy there.

>>717499796
Silent Storm was a 6/10 for the most part. The base game kind of goes to shit thanks to how much of a pain in the ass enemies in power armor are to deal with in it. The expansion fixes the issue with the power armor but the first several missions are a total slog. It only really gets good around the mid point of the expansion and then goes to absolute shit with the final mission, mainly because the game requires you to have a certain amount of money to start it and if you don't have that money your only real options are to either load a much much earlier save and try to collect more valuable shit and budget your money better or spend hours and hours and hours and hours grinding random encounters for low tier shitty rifles and handguns to sell for pocket change

>Enemy equipment can be captured and used — use the battlefield to your advantage.
If it's the Ukranian war circa 2022 and you're playing as the Russians shouldn't the enemy be the only ones doing the vehicle capturing? If they're aiming for realism they should make it so your vehicles' crews randomly abandon their shit every 5 minutes and run away

>>717498718
>other ex-ussr republics managed somehow to make it on world stage
most of them didn't though and Russia does make games "on the world stage"
DCS, Space Engine, War Thunder, everything Owlcat, Space Marine 2, Broken Arrow, Snowrunner + Spintires, Tarkov, MiSide, War Thunder, Atomic Heart, Pathologic, Sex with Stalin and of course Cut The Rope

>>717509174
It really says a lot that just about every game you listed is total shit but RUniggers still pride themselves in them

>>717509278
if you read it, you could have pointed out that Space Engine is not a game.

>>717500319
Most Ukrainians can't understand Ukrainian lol

>>717509335
Fair point, allow me to rephrase them. Almost every game he listed sucks and one of them isn't even a game.

>>717509278
>"They don't count because I am shitposting."

>>717498718
Stfu retarded faggot and kys Russia makes better games than your NAFO puppet shithole. Kill yourself tranny go cry about Atomic Heart some more.

>>717500319
Dunno if you know ,Nafotroon, since you "people" are generally uneducated morons, but Russian is the top 5 most spoken language on earth. Every multiplayer game has a significant russian player base , people who buy monetized shit believe it or not. For a dev it's a good amount of loss in revenue to go full nafotard

>>717510285

Nobody even knows if this is real or not.
I can't find a single thing about the game, when I look it up I just get politicalslop

>>717507165
The biggest problems of SS are
>the skill growth mechanic was a mistake
>unfinished strategic map section

But the level of destruction and physics interaction are unparalleled to today (20 FUCKING YEARS) and push it to 8/10 for me.
In no other game I can unload MG into a brick wall and make it slowly degrade with bullet holes, and those tiny holes can be used to see enemies under right angle.

Will buy only if you can play as russian invaders

>>717511908
They have multiplayer/skirmish on their website called Front Edge
Knock yourself out.
Plenty of gameplay on youtube too since its free.

>missed the yesterday thread where all whitebois were malding
its over and i have no one to blame but myself

>>717512297
Can only play as Russian denazifiers and liberators, sorry
