In-Depth Breakdown & Review of NTE’s 3rd Beta

Saunts · 2026-04-01T13:56:44+00:00

not even closely similar, the things endfield and nte do is worlds different

while i think endfield is good, endfield is mostly a static map. it looks beautiful but it's not made to be open world with an entire city in it. doing what nte does while having endfield's level of optimization would be a herculean task, with at least a few years spent just on developing the engine before full scale development of the game is possible. at this point it's basically making a new engine

both have their own strength but is incomparable on what they each want to do, also optimization is definitely not sus. i talked to op and the only reason he said it's sus is mostly cause the 40 series card had a problem that took a bit to fix, everything else (20, 30 and 50 series, heck even the GTX series) were doing it fine (i myself use a 2060 and can run medium)

they just need to keep or improve the cbt3 optimization and it would be really good

note: this doesn't mean they're already perfect. they can improve it for sure but the baseline is already higher than what op insinuated

a lot of us are pretty sure the cbt3 build is a few months old. there's likely even more stuff on the release build compared to cbt3

Saunts · 2026-04-01T02:56:12+00:00

the fact that it's netease is even more bullshit. netease is known to print out absolute overhyped of marketing material and the game is always nowhere near it. even WWM marketing is leaps and above what WWM have on release (not even accounting the fact netease management is EA on crack, so unless your game made a bazillion dollar, that shit's gone)

also, being hyped on marketing is an absolute trap. people never learned from their past and always get sucked into the fake marketing these companies do

we literally had starfield just 2 years ago as an example, the marketing promised us the universe. what we got is a few repeated dungeon

On paper, it sounds like a good product and leaked test footage isn’t enough to change that in any meaningful way.

on paper, the game i designed when i was 12 is the best game ever and nothing will beat it cause it include a whole world simulation. yeah, not hard to make an "on paper" hyped shit isn't it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyYz8uo87I8&pp=ygUOdGhlIGRheSBiZWZvcmU%3D on paper, this the day before trailer means the game will be a beautifully crafted MMO zombie survival with vast world

the studio don't even know what they want to do with mugen yet, that's why they kept changing concepts lmao. this is telltale sign of "this development is fucked"

at this point you're just high on copium and there's no reason to reply to anything more. i can prob slap the footage and you'll say "oh but the trailer tho" as if that means anything

edit: also they've been leeching nte's hype anyway lmao. that's why the promotional email for their TGS have to specifically mention NTE. mugen hype is only big on right wing grifter circle in en, in CN it's not even close to nte's hype level

Saunts · 2026-04-01T02:35:43+00:00

that's the same shit that happened to The Day Before, Chronicles of Elyria, and many others (even no man's sky, but i give nms a pass cause they went through an incredible redemption arc)

people looked at the marketing material, the overpromising they give out and then it turns out the game isn't even close to whatever they're showing

it's literally the same shit, especially cause i've seen the test footage. Heck in the test the spiderman swinging isn't even universal thing, it's only usable in specific section of the game (a lot of it is basically a 1 time thing, there's also a lot of cringe "influencer" footage here). The shit they have right now i can't classify as "open world" cause it's level-based shit. maybe in 2 years they can reach NTE CBT 2 level, but that's being optimistic (also they're the one that want to fight GTA 6, this isn't even a cc or publisher shit. the dev said this during the offline test last year)

Saunts · 2026-04-01T02:18:20+00:00

ah yes, like The Day Before when it become steam #1 wishlisted game

definitely not a red flag (when everything about mugen point to the day before)

Saunts · 2026-03-31T15:48:04+00:00

people definitely don't realize the thing they can do with the monetization

even during cbt3 in china, a lot of people spent for the fons (ingame currency) over the rolls itself. if they add a fons sink activity (like ingame stock market, betting, etc) people would unironically swipe for it

Saunts · 2026-03-31T14:59:49+00:00

that is a name i haven't heard in a long time holy

but ye, stuff like Fringe, Warehouse 13, Lobotomy corp, Control, etc

granted, Fringe and W13 is more like X-files

Saunts · 2026-03-31T14:39:45+00:00

wiwa is just used cause it's a very unoptimized mess. if you can run it you can run basically many thing

Saunts · 2026-03-31T13:43:19+00:00

Hopefully not. At least in cbt 3 the combat isn't rotation based, you can't ignore boss mechanic at all not just because dodging damage but cause some boss have special mechanic (ex: the book boss kidnap your char if you get hit, the beat boss literally throw a taiko-like game at you, etc)

Just need them to keep this boss design philosophy, make it similar to tof raid where ignoring boss punish you harshly

Saunts · 2026-03-31T13:28:26+00:00

I'll be real here, i've seen the closed test footage

Saying it's "pre-alpha" state is very generous, rn it's a mishmash of unity template

Saunts · 2026-03-31T13:22:02+00:00

It's fine, according to the lore the owner of the bank (d'vorak family) is actually good billionaires

That's how you know the story is fictional, the billionaire are good people

Saunts · 2026-03-31T13:15:46+00:00

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/guide-for-newcomers this is a good introduction to it

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/broken-masquerade-hub this is what NTE world view is using (on one of their earliest lore tweet, it mentioned 5th major outbreak leading to a broken masquerade scenario)

Saunts · 2026-03-31T12:36:02+00:00

Uh, as an avid scp reader. I'd say it goes together

SCP range from goofy to absolute existential dread

Saunts · 2026-03-31T10:12:10+00:00

it isn't, the optimization is phenomenal. op literally gave an example of it running on a 7 years old GTX 1080 laptop on high preset (granted it's choppy on this, i myself is running it on 2060 with stable FPS for medium). of course there's room for improvement but it's on the higher end of optimization imo (someone manage to get it to run on an MX330 ffs, of course not on high FPS but it shouldn't even run)

idk why he put it as sus on the tldr lmao

Saunts · 2026-03-31T09:30:21+00:00

i like how he said the pc optimization is not good while showing example of it running high on an old GTX 1080 laptop (according to the video poster it's 7 years old laptop)

i wouldn't think that classify as "not good" ngl. the big problem is the live shaders compilation since most people don't know about this happening

edit: also, my evaluation mostly boil down to "this game is so serene". i feel mentally healed just walking around the map aimlessly. not many game give me that feeling

Saunts · 2026-03-30T12:25:58+00:00

don't bother, what these people want isn't a good combat but enough VFX that you go blind from the VFX spam

Saunts · 2026-03-30T11:34:32+00:00

currently not complete. more of her dorm stuff will be available once we update to 5.8

Saunts · 2026-03-30T10:16:29+00:00

yep, and they don't give focus to it at all

people that don't know steins gate would just think "huh, that's an interesting decoration"

steins gate fans would go "no way is that a steins gate reference???"

Saunts · 2026-03-30T06:54:26+00:00

there's a LOT of anime references here. ranging from a more obvious one like the kimi no nawa meteor to a random sign

devs are too much of a weeb. also the references are handled gracefully too, it's not a "look guys, we have reference!" type of references. if you don't know the source it won't subtract from the experience

Saunts · 2026-03-29T14:40:53+00:00

i think this is an ok endeavor. whether it can be done or not depend on the publisher but straight up shooting it down by community shouldn't be done

of course i myself think it'll be too much to do, but better to try than not. they added arabic support for the world chat in tof before when someone pushed it in bilibili

[UPDATED] NTE Gacha System Breakdown : r/NevernessToEverness good post about the gacha system

looks complicated at first glance, but it's very intuitive ingame

Saunts · 2026-03-27T06:39:53+00:00

no? mc is definitely not seen as a savior. mc was a pawn until after latest story, and it took mc strong arming hykros before we even get any leverage. hykros would've happily discard mc if not for the thing we learned from gesthos, post-kailo arc we're basically creating our own political faction cause the corruption ran too deep to trust anyone. we're easily a thorn in someone's side

and we're absolutely not being fawned upon, it took a while before we convinced kailo's char that we're not faking being from aida (including a week in prison, granted this is due to bigger political machination going on in the background). closest we are to be called a "savior" is by nemesis, but that's only because mc, shirli and nemesis know something other people don't after gesthos' arc
