November Round-up

[SJKSJK 225]

This just in - Hicks subtly threatening Rocket for delaying the Release! So 20 days to release? Appears to be no Zeds in this build, also still gun sight for a melee weapon?

That axe looks weird. +3 months to release date.

[Owain1122 218]

Don't be silly, 20 means 20 hours till release :P

[Katana67 2907]

They need to tone that wide FOV town, humans aren't fish... (Yes, I'm aware there will be a slider)

 

Glad to see some overcast weather in SA. Still not liking the overall washed-out "tint" of the landscape, but not that big of a deal.

The thing is we have about a 180 fov with peripherals, that screenshot is probrably only 100 or so... Edited November 4, 2013 by SomebodyEpic

Where do you get that number 20?

[Owain1122 218]

What's the weird slender figure between the two buildings on the left?

But FOVs in video games don't behave like mathematical FOV's. They adjust perspective and not just the amount of things visible at one time. Also, it's debatable as to whether we actually use 180 degrees of vision, or focus on it at any given moment.

SRSLY?

The road sign :)

 

6 days - 6 people

3 days - 3 bullets

1 day - one hatchet

 

Just kidding people :P

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I have been reading these round ups for awhile now and something in this picture caught my eye. So much so that I made this account just to post it here and see what you guys think. One of the new zeds? Another player? Or maybe I am seeing things. Let me know what you think.

 

EDIT: I spent so much time making an account you got the post first haha.

That's what I said further up, there's a weird figure between the buildings

[Katana67 2907]

Let me know what you think.

 

Even if it is a player or zombie, what does it matter? Or, moreover, what does it add to the significance of the image? We've seen other players and we've seen zombies rendered in SA many times before.

[joe_mcentire 2074]

Three pink names, three blue names and one green name in the forum all of a sudden. Are you guys... expecting something? (Innocent question)

Who is expecting?! congrats!

It's clearly a bike if you look clearly enough. You can see that the supposed "waist" and up is just a bush behind the bycicle.

That may actually be a Zed or Bigfoot, hard to tell.

People complain about the FOV and use it as an excuse to use third person all the time. The FOV is fine.

I wasn't doing any of that, though. :)

 

I simply don't enjoy wide, distorting FOVs (which are often WORSE on third-person).

I'd be very cosy playing with that FOV myself, nothing more painful than first person views with shoddy console game type FOVs. Makes it feel like your head is 3-4 feet in front of the body.

^That. I've seen people on Twitch that crank it all the way up. Looks like you are looking through a peephole. I'm not going to ruin my game just to give me an edge. Same goes for brightness.

The FOV is wide because it's on a monitor which is close to the player's face. If he were playing it as if on a console - sitting far away on a TV screen, the FOV would not look that way.

[mercules 1290]

u ever though the idea of a horde of zombies in the woods trough?

u attract them by accident or however in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to hide or outrun them, like u could in a town. genius...

it is almost 100% death, depending on how the zombies work now. because even if u can make it to the next town with 50 or whatever zombies running behind u, u will have attracted every other player seeing that huge crowd following someone, then he kills u.

 

It's awesome, isn't it? You might have to actually worry about zombies now. No more sitting outside zombie spawn range and sniping into town all safe and cozy that you won't have zombies smacking you while you shoot the guy with nothing but a flashlight from so far away he doesn't hear the gunshot before he dies.

Oh my god...

 

The sausage prophet! He saw all of this coming!!
