So when will we get genuine previews?
Also, the game looks a fucken mess. The artstyle, HUD, shit flashing and popping up everywhere. Christ almighty.

I dont play this genre. Looks pretty similar to Overwatch if that's your thing.

This is the first PlayStation Studio game I’m not remotely interested in

The only reason I play Overwatch is because I want to fuck most of the female characters in that game. There's no one in the game I want to fuck. So, pass.

VGC said the TTK is about 2x of a Call of Duty but all the videos I'm seeing look 5x.
I don't play Cod very often though. Can anyone take a look at the gameplay and see what's closer?
Edit: You need about 5 - 6 headshots on a character with a pistol to down them. Isn't CoD typically 1 headshot?

Only reason I'm interested in it. I loved OW. Removing that 1 extra tank killed it though. I'll try this but not sure if I'll buy it depends on how well it plays. Seems more shooter focused than OW though.

I've watched a number of these previews. The standouts are...
The commentator actually tries to criticize the GAMEPLAY with specifics.
Lots of extended gameplay clips. Many of the previews just splice together big action 2 - 4 second clips.
My takeaway...
Firewalk said "Hero shooters are big. Projectile based weapons are more fun than hitscan. Let's make a projectile based hero shooter."
It also looks like they're going to add a bunch of arena based modes and follow the analytics on which modes are most popular. Smart move as it gives them room to grow in the right direction.

Hoping this succeeds
But more so hoping Sony's other GAAS games are more unique

That might be the case if skill-based matchmaking is absent from casual modes.

Mainstream legacy media only feels like a red flag to me.

Looks much better than expected and it seems it's very much like Destiny's Crucible. Which is great.
TTK might be a bit too much and gameplay maybe a bit too slow, going by the footage, but maybe it's not so bad.
I'm not even that bothered by the art style, looking at the videos.
So, I remain cautiously optimistic.

Pretty much how I feel about it too.
After watching a few of those previews, it doesn't really change my initial gut impression that this is a game chasing a trend several years too late.

Props to whoever in the team pushed for adding a Killzone style "chirp" when you kill another player. It was always super satisfying and I don't know why more games didn't copy that.
The gameplay itself looks decent, I like the sort of floaty movement and all the comparisons people are making to Destiny PVP.
The visual style is still incredibly off putting though

Movement looks terrible. Not sure if they were going for the low gravity idea or what but yea... way too floaty. And the whole third person dodge animation is stupid.

I'm still willing to check it out during the open beta. Not going to write it off just yet.

It sounds like many of the gameplay criticisms so far are things that can be fairly easily adjusted if the feedback against them is substantial. A lot of it seems like a numbers game. Increase health here. More consistent damage there. Less delay for this ability. Less float for that movement. This ability may be overpowered.
The map layout criticism would be a somewhat more substantial fix. Something they may want to consider in the future is a greater emphasis on bigger differences in character design. Maybe it's just me, but very few characters stood out to me. The big dudes were obvious just for being large. But they would also easily stand out even if they were smaller. Their designs are stark contrasts. I saw a lot of characters that just didn't catch my attention. Like, they started looking the same.
Now, part of that is almost certainly because I'm not familiar with these characters. But there doesn't appear to be anywhere near the difference in color palettes or silhouettes between Concord characters when compared to Overwatch. Maybe my view on that will change with time. But right now, there just look to be too few standout character designs.

No, but the anti-Woke/anti-Gaas crowd is just very vocal on Gaf.

I think the gameplay looks solid and kind of fun, but I want to see what other modes it will have to offer. I am through with team-based PvP and having to support others as they blame everyone on the team for everything.
I just want to play good old DM or DM-style modes like Gun Game, but it seems like the only new big shooter offering this is CoD, as usual.

Played enough OW1 and stopped as it grew old quick.

Does modes where you don't respawn even make sense in a game like this? The time to kill is so high that you never stand a chance when it's 1v3 for instance.

Maybe they'll adjust it based on beta feedback?
Just looking at it, I thinkt they already should lower TTK a bit and speed up movement.
No respawns make it more tactical though.
Johnny Concrete

Sure they can lower it, but you'll never be able to one-shot someone or two-shot for that matter. So when you lose more than half of your team vs a full team, it's always game over. In a Valorant or CS you could always be that player that just outsmarts the other team and still kill them with well placed shots, I don't see that ever happening in a game like this.
And it will be less tactical as well, the only tactic that works is to keep your team together.
