Disintegration, the upcoming game from V1 Interactive about flying round and capturing folks on a tricked out hoverbike referred to as a “gravcycle”, goes into open beta as we speak. Lead by Marcus Lehto of Halo fame, the builders are inviting as many gamers as they will to return and check their game. With two modes and 7 gravcycle crews on supply, it’s an opportunity to get your fingers on it for a short while earlier than it releases later within the 12 months.
Disintegration boasts a brand new hybrid style, which is basically an FPS with RTS components. Lehto thinks this mixture of kinds will make Disintegration stand out amongst games like Destiny and Anthem, he said during a recent press conference.
“It’s a very different gameplay experience overall than any game out there on the market,” he mentioned. “It’s a big risk we’re taking to build this game in and to try to fill this kind of niche that doesn’t exist at the moment. So I’m real excited for people to start playing the game and see what it is on its own merits, and how unique it really is.”
I really feel like I’d’ve been lacking one thing after I performed the technical beta this week, as a result of in the intervening time the multiplayer simply feels quite a bit like most different team-based games – choose a brightly colored character, seize a degree, kill some dudes. During all that, you management a little bit squad of NPCs and direct them round to do issues for you whilst you hover above and try to guard them. Though to be trustworthy, more often than not I used to be so distracted by different teams of gravcycles teaming as much as shoot the shit out of me I simply discovered it tough to concentrate to them.
The game modes on supply are Zone Control – the standard A, B, C level seize – and Retrieval – because the title implies, you and your crew have to retrieve an object, and convey it to a seperate space to seize it. There are seven totally different crews to play as with distinctive talents and play kinds, and I’m fairly keen on the one that appears like a ye olde knight.
The single-player has a promising story – set in a dystopian world the place people have needed to put their brains in robots to outlive, an evil faction of those bots needs to hunt any remaining pure people to drive them to combine. You’ll play as a defect from the evil baddies, and have to work with different gravcycle crews to discover a strategy to change into human once more, and in the end save humanity. Unfortunately, the beta is only for multiplayer testing, so no single participant simply but.
Regardless, if, like me, you’re nonetheless unsure about Disintegration’s multiplayer, having a go whereas it’s free in beta is certainly a superb shout. The open beta is offered for everybody on PC via Steam, PS4 and Xbox One from 6pm GMT as we speak till 7:59am on Sunday 2nd February. You can discover out extra on the Disintegration website.
