Six Days in Fallujah - Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer

IGN: United States military veteran Sgt. Jason Kyle and the developers at Victura and Highwire Games walk you through the first-ever gameplay video of Six Days in Falljuah, the tactical first-person shooter with procedurally generated mission spaces based on real-life events from 2004's Second Battle for Fallujah in the Iraq War.

Hope this is just some old alpha footage and it gets treated like a next gen game. Right now it just looks like an HD remake of COD4.

[RaidenBlack]

A Remake is always a new game, made from ground up using latest tech and only shares the story and progression from the original.
So an "HD remake of COD4" will look similar to CoD MW'19/ BO Cold War.

[spicelicka]

I meant remaster in that case or whatever the correct term is, like when older games are just upscaled to 4k/60fps.

[Smok91]

Upscale is upscale. Remaster is improved textures, smoke effects, lighting, etc. Remake is a “remake”.

[RaidenBlack]

@Smok91
There are lazy "Remasters" too.
Check Burnout Paradise and NFS Hot Pursuit Remasters.

This is CoD4 Remaster for comparison with similar terrain setting/location.
Not only was the resolution upscaled but had all the in-game textures, modelling, mapping & lighting redone

[Profchaos]

I think you won't get cod level of polish but the game isn't comparable you won't be 360 no scoping guys in fluro purple ghili suits here.

It seems to be a slow paced fps like a cross between full spectrum warrior and brothers in arms.

The Dev team is probably significantly smaller and doesn't have the resources Activision has so I think the way it looks is quite nice for a game that has open levels and procedurally generated neighbourhoods instead of tightly scripted sequences.

[BenRC01]

I agree, looks right up my street

[Father__Merrin]

Looks awful

[isarai]

I will say they really managed to portray some high tension, and the gun sounds are terrifying. People are focusing too much on the graphics, reminder this is a smaller publisher with no AAA budget

[frostypants]

Yeah, looks like they're legit trying to communicate what battle is actually like, to the limited extent possible in a game. Not just focused on going from one gunfight to the next but on the tension in simply advancing. This is probably gonna keep a lot of the CoD dudebros away.

Procedurally generated maps seems like a brilliant way to prevent players from ever getting comfortable, if it works smoothly (i.e. the maps actually make sense, and if the buildings have enough structural variety).

[spicelicka]

Graphics, physics, animation, all add to the tension and would only improve what they are trying to portray. Right now what they are trying to portray is hindered by the fact that it looks a bit dated. What they are doing other than graphics is great, but in this day and age there's no excuse for graphics like these from a decent sized studio.

[CrimsonWing69]

Not impressed... like at all.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

I like the realism in this game.

[Fist4achin]

Wow, this has been 10-15 years in the making.

[Vx_]

lol this game looks like a ps3 crappy cheap game. I guess they made some buzz and controversial headlines just so that people knew about it and try to desperately generate some hype.

[Elwenil]

You are a perfect example of someone who has no idea what they are talking about. Go do some research.

[Rude-ro]

Randomly generated maps, buildings, interiors and enemies in a sim style military game is a little beyond anything out there in the mass market.

“Looks” change nor are they that important IF the gameplay is good.

Nothing wrong with an option that is currently not filled in the market.

Will be interesting to see/hear more.

[Edgelordsupreme]

Well except for Squad, Hell let loose, Arma 3, insurgency etc.

[Zodiac]

Lol I mean it’s hilarious, “watch a retired military sgt walk you through a game depicting a battle in a country he helped invade and occupy”

[frostypants]

Yeah. It's a bit weird. Wonder if he knew it was for a game. Still, learning about history isn't a bad thing, so I dunno. Depends on the tone of the game.

[Zodiac]

I believe games can be great mediums for education, but not like this. This game straight up normalizes imperialism. Soon It’s going to be 20 years since the invasion and movies, games, books etc need to start calling imperialism what it is - imperialism. Anything short of that is just disinformation and dangerous.

[il-JumperMT]

fuck konami

[KillaJamm]

Honesty I thought at first it looked a bit 'janky', but as the trailer progressed it looks like it's going to be tense af. Imagine playing this on the highest difficulty, literally every house you have to clear will be borderline panic attack material. Hopefully it delivers, ill deffo be keeping an eye on this one.

[zarbor]

It will be interesting to see if this urban warfare will be enough to keep folks playing. How many houses and streets will be enough for one to clear. They will really need to mix it up so its not repetitive. Not sure how they will do it.

[RaidenBlack]

Most level layout will be randomly generated.

[MadLad]

Looks pretty solid to me.

[BenRC01]

Amongst a sea of neon twitch battle royales, this is exactly what us grown ups have been wanting for years.

[Edgelordsupreme]

There have been lots of tactical and large scale shooters. For a “grown up” you seem to miss a lot of games, Squad and Hell let loose have had major updates recently, and don’t look like utter trash.

[BenRC01]

Not on consoles unfortunately, as a "grown up" my gaming time is limited to the odd bout of ps5.
