In The Rising, there is no place to hide, there is no escape, and you will not be rescued. The only hope available for mankind will come from your determination and resilience. The time of avoidance and submission are over. The only option is to resist.

Post news Report RSS The Rising MOD - Beta Gameplay Part 1 of 3

Here's the first part of our Beta Gameplay series. Checkout how the MOD looks since our alpha video debuted back in 2009.

Posted by on

For this years MOTY, I wanted to move away from purely promotional content and just focus on gameplay. After all, that's the only thing that matters come release day.

For the past month now, we've been hosting weekly play tests to verify stability, gameplay balance, and receive feedback. Here is a video of one such session. Please keep in mind this is all a work in progress and does not represent the final MOD. Though with that being said, I believe this is a massive improvement over our 2009 Alpha Gameplay video. If you agree with me, then please consider voting for us as best Upcoming Mod for 2010. Thanks for your time and have a great Thanksgiving :)

this is our marketters video player, we have our own really cool media player which is used on IndieDB and Desura.

We would use it on ModDB but we need to figure out how to afford the bandwidth as ModDB does tons of video plays daily.

Just watched part 1, and I'm noticing a disturbing thing; the "melee hit" animation is very slow compared to the damage. There's almost a half second delay from the impact to when the animation makes it look like it impacted.

Goddamn sexy. Loving that atmosphere. :) Also the reload animations seem fast enough without being too fast, and the walking-while-aiming speed is good too. I'd say spot on, as far as I can see.

OMG looks Fantastic, this game will make me crap my pants. Only thing I can pick out that is kinda off is the amount of echo after firing seems off. When I go up to our canyon to fire our gun (and it's a puny .22 mind you) we can hear it for a few seconds before it fades, I would think and abandoned city would echo more but I could be wrong. But all in all I am SO looking forward to this game.

Well worth that period of radio silence, this looks brilliant, very much shaping up to have the sort of atmosphere I was hoping it would. Kudos to you guys for staying true to the concept. Can't wait for this to go public!

Reminds me of I am Legend, which is awesome, like how the animations switch between when your safe and in combat ( reloads much faster ), the melee could look better, if its possible, weapon specific. voting now :D

I think that some of the animations needs tweaking on the "humane" part, maybe fresh up with some variations aswell.

But, am I the only one who noticed the robotic beeping coming from the Necros?
Other than that, looks great. Really love the way the map moves around.

OH! Ok. Erm, constructive criticism, is that it should be more of a clicking sound? For me it would add more immersion. But, I can always change the sound myself, so that's just my two cents.
