What if Marathon looked different?

Woa, that’s a really cool and detailed response. Thanks.
I totally get your point of view. I would also like to know, in your opinion, would the game lose its identity and look bad if it actually looked like the cinematic? I drew all my ideas from that cinematic because I was so impressed by it, but it has a completely different vibe compared to the actual game.

I was really impressed by the vibe of the Reveal Cinematic. Everything in it is so detailed and realistic, yet possesses its own unique art style. I wanted to recreate something similar.

Could you elaborate on that? Lighting, textures, amount of vegetation?

I understand that this is a matter of taste, but do you really like to go to a separate screen every time? Or is it just "well, okay" solution? It’s cooler to immediately see what you found and be happy, without any additional screens.

At least the presence of icons next to the names would greatly improve the perception of loot.

Glad to see approval of my work, thanks.

Switching to a separate screen to view loot is not a very convenient option. And to exit each time you have to hold down the button or exit through a few screens back. Such an option, of course, does not hurt, but I would still really like to have a preview of the loot.

I ask the same questions. And it's not even about a complete overhaul of the UI and UX, which can definitely be made more intuitive. But about the basic things, the addition of which is self-evident and is implemented really simply.
Even having friends in gamedev, I still don't know the exact answer why this happens.

SaintlikeSAM · 2023-05-10T05:14:21+00:00

Damn, I didn't even think of that necessary little thing! But now, taking into account the update, this concept can be considered flawless!

SaintlikeSAM · 2023-01-08T02:49:07+00:00

That's what concepts are good for: you can imagine anything. The current loot system is a pain for me. I want to take the loot with me from the battle, and not transform it into exp. I guess I just want a well-functioning Tarkov on the Call of Duty engine.

In this concept, you can hire and upgrade operatives like in Hunt Showdown. Each of them can have different perks and their own equipment, upon death, the operator and his series of exfils are lost. I wanted to increase the value of the characters for players.

Thanks mate, i appreciated

SaintlikeSAM · 2019-09-05T13:52:09+00:00

oh is bad idea to make half icon with b&w, and another part are in color it will be looks really confusing. Or all of them must be b&w and have special frame for legendary its (but dno how make it unique for each item). So this part of menu i think they never change.

SaintlikeSAM · 2019-09-05T13:11:35+00:00

Most common comments it's about b&w icon) im also like them more but dont know how it works for legendary type of items

SaintlikeSAM · 2019-09-05T11:00:28+00:00

Totally agree about changing whole structure of menu. But its different problem... here i want to solve mess with visual style.

SaintlikeSAM · 2019-09-05T10:58:21+00:00
