Hooray a place to just geek out about the trailer!

VIVI
um I believe it's for sharing our own moments
Wild Capybara spotted
yes
so the trailer
It's for... reads the description
this

well, it's basically trailer discussion
for now
march 7th, then it's awesome clip sharing
for now it is
Check it out guys Vivi can read! Wish I could read...
Capybaras can read???
new channel? ποΈ π ποΈ
if you notice, #media-share got rebranded to #πͺβoff-topic-media π
Rebrand deez...
Finally I can share my off topic video about off topic topics.
#official-art is now in INFO tab
content creators tab also deleted
it had a separate tab before
oh! close enough
basically telling people to check faq and pins when they ask questions already answered in the mentioned places
looks so sexy
the team have been working very hard
wait what
the map
I mean I think all of this stuff was in the works already
yeah but still, new stuff so we all go yes
huh!?
You hit people with it
What the cheese doin'?

for cheese
I know but I cant tell you
π΅οΈ if you tell me you'll have to kill me
Because its nacho cheese 
are they massaging the cheese?
nacho business
is it like a reload animation
rub the cheese for luck
slicing the cheese?
now we have more questions than answers ahahah
oh noooo xd
hahahaha
I wonder if that's a hint at one of our new events, replaces everyone's weapons with cheese lol
Maybe the cheese is like a weapon you get from solving an easter egg. Like the Peacekeeper from Bf1 for example
cheese easter egg π
cheese strat
and you shout** " LETS GOOOORGONZOLA !! "**
I'm more of a "NOW THIS IS GOUDA" kinda of guy
thats my EC
Forget the cheese, it is only allowed to French players, you won't have it in game
Looks like the City of Glass from Mirror's Edge
i thought of mirrors edge as well
hahaha letβs go i get to use the cheese
Haha yeah, Rob at Embark was the head of art for Mirror's Edge
@dusk depot I think it just does colour super well
You could plop Faith into that level and she'd feel right at home haha
Does that mean that we'll get Faith related skins?
God it would look cool to be fair
cheese for me too I guess ποΈ ποΈ π«π·
Oooooo I hope so!
Mirror's Edge was made by DICE so yes it could be similar in movement
I doubt it, EA owns the rights to the franchise.
Good point! So we'll have a "reference" skin π

coooool
Yeah, they aren't allowed to capitalize on it or anything
However a little reference will probably be legal
and actually I'd bet my left leg that there is at least one mirror's edge reference in this map
cause, no way they'd pass up on that opportunity
I would love such a collab, a Faith skin wouldn't fit in a Battlefield game anyways but would fit The Finals well. I was also asking for a Faith skin for Hibana in R6 a while ago haha.
High Buildings (Skylines) = Mirrors Edge, aha. π
It's honestly the interiors and colours
replace the yellow with blue, and the interactibles with red
and make everything else white
and then it's mirror's edge
In that case you could also say: Battlefield, Call of Duty, Apex Legends and CS:GO
- the the rooftops as you mentioned haha
I'm talking more about aesthetics
same here and the map
the colours stick out
I had the same feeling watching the trailer, something about the staircases being all white and bright colors on interactibles
also verticality
but I mean
if you can procure a map from those games which reminds you of mirror's edge
you'd probably also be right
And the cranes
yes the cranes
CS:GO's vertigo is the closest thing I can think of rn
"Uno, dos, tres, catorce!" π΅
For example (Game, Map): BF4, Siege of Shanghai; CS:GO, Vertigo; APEX, more likely the colors; Call of Duty, Highrise
now make them mostly white with one colour standing out, have them be multiple stories and span across multiple buildings, add cranes you can run on and then this map will remind you more strongly of mirror's edge
Apex's vibe is way more futuristic imo, as for the colors I don't really know I'm colorblind so Β―_(γ)_/Β―
the modernist architecture also helps lots
I don't know man. I just see a new beautiful game coming to us, which will probably dominate the market. π₯°π»
Discord doesn't like .bmps lol
convert to .jpg
mirror's edge is super beautiful, and this is super beautiful
I heard ME flopped a bit π
the sequel?
The new one especially. Metacritic: 74 not really good, it's more likely okay. 80+ is good and 90+ is insanity. 100 surely is UNSTOPPABLE.
mhm
I am going through reviews now
people were kinda upset by the game being quite punishing, or short, or with no waypoints
however the art direction is being universally praised haha
i don't know, but often the reviews are written from a good pov
they are
I played the game, and they are right about most of these things
however I did like the mission structure and lack of UI personally
Is the UI just like in the trailer ? like, no UI at all ?
I just hope TF won't dig up this chance to give players a new, really good game, because we are waiting for a while now. And GTA 6 is a milestone away, yet.
oh no I was talking about Mirrors Edge
Here are some of my favorite frames from the new trailer after combing it for the Easter Eggs! Hope it uploads right this time π
yeah, sometimes just take things as it is. π For the UI it's easy to take though.
I'm trying no to get that much high hopes but the latest trailer really hyped me
Oh yeah I see
I like the look of the heavy!
The LED helmet looks dope
I hope I will get a chance, even if I get the chance... my first day will be delayed prob. π at cinema that day. lel
YES
It really does. Like Daft Punk you know π
I got a rank. Pog
Love the LED mask on the medium on the left of the three shot one too
I like that the hair is left exposed with that one
I like how they're sparingly using futuristic elements, just the right amount of funkiness
getting there
but yeah mainly the interiors remind me of Mirror's Edge interiors
I love the yell in the trailer, I hope they will yell in the game like that too xD
Waw yeah I wouldn't be able to tell which game it's from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQLw2b__qA HERE WE GOOOOOOOO-AUUUUHHHH
A bunch of us in the alpha requested the announcer be more present as feedback so it's one of my major hopes for the beta as well
At the beginning of each game it would be π₯
OOOOAOOOOAGHAHG
But tbh. guys I became kinda skeptical when I saw Nexon.
Each game begins with a "HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" π
So how is a match structured exactly ? Does it give battle royale vibes or more R6 siege ?
idk how it was in the alpha
3v3v3v3, then 3v3v3, then 3v3
It's a 3v3v3v3 where one team gets eliminated every round.
dope
ooh that's cool
It gives a THE FINALS vibe π
Yeah I get the "can you reach the finals" now haha
guys guys imagine you grab the box and your character yells here we gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo π
oh so funny
I think the rounds and gamerules are slightly off
the 3v3 final round feels kinda empty
if one team is dominating at least
It really doesn't have a good comparison for structure I would say you just gotta experience it, the game mode is very unique.
Hype
Are there any bonuses/items carrying through the rounds ?
no
nope
not at the moment
^
the team with the lowest number of points at the end of each round is eliminated
Points don't carry between rounds either so no sweat on if you just scrape by round 1 or 2
this is what a typical end-of-round leaderboard looks like:
Team 1 : 250
Team 2: 750
Team 3: 14000
Team 4: 32000
That leaves the door open for alliances between teams π
There is a bit of an unwritten alliance against the top team imo π
Team 1 goes, Team 2,3 4 stay, and next round will be a different map with everything reset
you cannot change your loadout
your gun and ability is chosen in the lobby menus and no other gun can be picked up nor ability swapped out
although it would be cool if that was a thing between-rounds
I hope they allow the change that, at least between rounds
great minds..
oh so one loadout for the entire match ?
yes...
yeah, all rounds
Changing loadouts between rounds sounds like a more natural mechanic, but idk how balanced the weapons are
they will not be similar, that's for sure
maybe some maps could be easily dominated if everyone was able to take shotguns or something ?
the guns are supposed to be so diverse that they are like abilities in their own
can someone remind me how many Gadgets you can hold?
just one?
(not main ability)
hmmm yeah, I think so
well then yeah
As your character, you get to pick from one of 3 Classes (each have a set of guns, gadgets and abilities)
@warm coral Forgot to mention, but you can check RockhoundBlack's videos for more detailed info about the game
In each class I estimate there to be about 3 main abilities? (they probably added much more)
Great thanks I'll have a look
waiting for the rockhoundblack video
for the beta from what we've already seen, I estimate 4 at least
I'd love to make content on the game when it comes out
so 4 abilities per class, and then also about 10 gadgets per class
and then.. about 5-7 guns per class
Waiting for the RHB videos. I also want the breakdown of the last Tier of the Easter Eggs π
for a release that's already a lot
pre-release haha
there at least 10 new items/gadgets/weapons in the beta trailer
and that's underselling it
there is that medic cannon, mini knife, taser, jump pad, grenade launcher, double-barrel shotgun, riot shield + baton, musket, and GLOO grenade
which I can confirm are all new additions not seen in the Alpha
also, the Holo-shield actually!
and, the Cheese
someone lmk if I have included something that was already in the Alpha
also idk if that thing was actually called a musket
I need to have a closer look at the trailer, theorycrafting on the game sounds fun :)
the map looks compact and well designed
I like it
these look like launchpads
you can at least use them to indicate the lowest playable area
Rooftop maps are hella cool, but I also love hybrid maps where you can fight in small streets etc
unfortunately it's way too high a place irl for alleys
this is as close an area as I can find
also it seems like Monaco might just be an awesome map for you 
thats Monaco
Nice heal gun. Looks like a gun out of Quake.
Valve not releasing anything new with the TF IP. Embark: "fine, I'll do it myself"
Anyone know the duration of the beta ? 
TF is garbonzo. You can literally spawn camp in that game.
nah TF is awesome
lol
lmao i love this
I hope you're happy cause Saul is not
lmao darnoux rlly linked the job site lol
yea lol
The NamaTama Trainer
I guess this is the right place to post this for the time being (sorry mods if it isn't!): https://youtu.be/D_orfMnjpB4
THE FINALS Closed Beta is coming on March 7th, and Embark Studios have released the Closed Beta Trailer for the upcoming free-to-play PC FPS game. In this video, I break down all the details in the trailer, including hidden easter eggs and lots of info that you might have missed.
Watch the full trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQ...
did you enjoy all those 1 frames? and all the random cuts?
i cannot believe i thought that spear was actually part of the piece
Yeah, I did! I like how they are blended through what is essentially a long chase sequence
yeah, i was debating on turning it into a giant gif.. but i think it might be to big of a file
i just watched that video its pretty good
very nice video! It's seems they tease some Arc riders comeback
Thereβs an internal ARC Raiders playtest coming up soon, apparently
ooh nice!
can't wait to see what the game looks like now
PvP will be interesting.
You should do gameplay videos for the finals once the beta comes i would def watch it
I will, and thanks! 
@ember carbon that was a really nice breakdown! I don't think you left a single stone unturned..
well, actually,
np
I forgot the cheese!!
the cheese is the best part
I didn't actually catch the Cardboard skin!
the cheese might be for healing
Ironically that seems like a legendary type that actually I would buy
The cardboard looks like more than a recolour
Itβd be funny if you can leave poison cheese out for your opponents
Gorgonzola hehe
Just a lil trolling
I hope they make skins with new animations, for the Legendary ones for example
i hope not cause it might be paid to win
Inb4 baby cheeses gun skin
Okay hear me out but I honestly think they're making a mistake letting the skins be applicable for ALL weapons
just cause it adds so much value to one skin which people won't exactly realise
I don't think it can be, just look at valorant
and if they priced it at, say, the cost of 25 single-weapon skins
people just won't buy it
They confirmed that ?
In Alpha at least
in the alpha was there a fov slider?
idk
@ember carbon I do wanna point out that these are directional launchpads to me, and not elevators
they have the directional arrow pointer, and that diagonal blue hologram
i mean they do look like launchpads because of the blue aura thing thatβs hovering above it
but the one on the left does look like it could function as an elevator but for arena purposes it wonβt
I am trying to figure out what that white strip down the building is
cause I don't think it's an elevator
oh thatβs the opposite for me, it looks like it controls the path for the elevator, kinda like holding it up and moving it up and down
i also wouldnβt be surprised that if it were an elevator it might disappear at times during the match so players would have to find another way round the arena
well I mean it looks like it is
but I know it isn't
due to how unsafe that would literally be IRL
and it ain't for the arena
and also the one on the right doesn't have it
fair
but the whole purpose of this game is unsafe 
yeah, but again, it's unusable in game so yeah
plus you don't get jump pad ledges which also act as elevators
not typically at least
something useful is that you can use it to see where the lowest playable elevation is
good point
sound design with that turret opening fit perfectly
like it's own instrument
π€ mwah
Has the latest trailer music been released seperately ?
no
True true
the lead sound opening up the high end with a filter as the white noise of the launch pad and then the lead getting that delay effect... too goood
They weren't applicable to all guns in the alpha were they? The tiger stripe can silencer ospuze silenced pistol skin was unique to it right?
Actually, it's not something i tried, yeah
I may be thinking of the Character skins
which apply to every class
But, no, the weapon skins in the battle pass for example did apply to multiple guns I think?
Yeah character skins were 1 size fits all but I'm pretty sure gun skins were unique. Even the like ospuze themed ones the smg and lmg were separate I remember
Lol I'm super excited for all the customization especially after seeing that rambotama keychain! 
Hopefully on the melee weapons too
weapon charms lets goooo
Oh, yes, you could be right there! Funny, because I suggested something like that in my feedback. Haha
they could be teleporters also
That would be cool
I think the best thing about things like these is that they can interact with physics objects
If the building next to it collapses, parts that land on the launcher will go flying π€£
at least.. I hope
the debris better be able to score kills
We'll see
I think one of my favorite things analyzing the trailer was trying to pick out changes that might have had influence from the popular feedback so far. Really cool to see the community feed back heard.
What did you mention?
I suggested a way to be catapulted from the edges of the map into the centre to reduce the running time after a respawn, as a long respawn timer + running was too much time out of the action.
That would be awesome
I was maybe thinking that the spawn was just closer as the round goes on?
maybe in the 3v3, the spawns are nearer to the centre?
Yeah, could be
So long as I smash straight through walls as a heavy when launched from the cannon I am down lol.
yes
Yeah, I initially thought that was another map teased
yeah it's just downhill from the Cathedral
For any of our content creators and would be content creators I didn't know this so I figured I would share it Embark has a press kit where you can download uncompressed versions of the trailers and other media. https://www.embark-studios.com/press
Yeah, why is that? Did I miss something? 
Well the announcement for the Beta
has some info..
@ember carbon
leaderboards, 2 maps, casual mode and ranked modes
again I'm gonna point out that you unlock weapons and gadgets (as well as cosmetics)
very interesting
''unlock gadgets'' does that mean we wont have all the gadgets unlocked for the classes?
Yeah, I read that in the press release
I didnβt think there was anything major to add there that wasnβt in the trailer
I suppose I could have mentioned the holy grail comment, but the video was already pretty long
in the trailer?
The ranked and leaderboard and practice range and unlock stuff and map availability isn't in the trailer
(except two maps maybe)
Loved the video by the way rock! Good breakdown as always. Do you think you'll be running the Riot Shed? π
I want this as a skin in the game now π
I was blown Up by The reactive NamaTama charm ... And the blue crosses visor lights red when you shoot
This game's gonna be fucking amazing
Hahahaha! Yes!! Put Rockhound on the name plate over the door lol
You only get the skin by saying "THE FINALS is a free-to-play, game show themed, round base, 3v3v3v3, first person, Tournament style Arena shooter" three times quickly π
rhb has the skin then 
hahaha
They say if you repeat the phrase "G'day Rockhound heEEEREE" three times in a bathroom mirror with the lights off the skin will appear in your FINALS inventory.
Wait⦠am I blind? 
Dang it. #skimread
Rob's quote is real good too
I need another βwhat I missed videoβ 
I like the attitude they have towards making the game
I mean I've seen 10 minute videos done on less content than that π€·
add in the cheese, and you have yourself a whole new 10 minutes haha
Thanks for watching! 
lmao
I really hope thereβs a well-polished gun modification interface
everything else looks polished as hell
but we haven't seen the UI...
can't wait
I hate the one in BF2042
really?
I mean I haven't played
but it looks cool
the extended plus arrangement right
Which is a shame because I love the "+" system as a concept but the UI for actually building it is gross lol
could you go into it?
BF2042 π€’
The + system idea is great but itβs horribly implemented
Is it like the one for the F1 game? π€
I havenβt played that
The main issues are attachments that either feel like they do nothing, or have detriments that out weight the positives, stat bars with numbers but the bars seem to include mutliple stats makes it almost impossible to tell what exactly you are raising or lowering stat wise, and the selection mechanism like choosing parts and shifting them around is clunky to say the least.
I know, just waiting...
Waiting for what? 
for someone to slip up.. hehe
Iβve been watching some of the recordings for fun. We had some mega rounds
hey, no fair!
Hehe
I'm super excited to see peoples clips this time around.
Some rounds got absolutely wild plays from all sides
oh, there will be so many cool ones..
bro i love these edits theyre so funny
wdym? it's a real photograph
no edits
i hope the finals have a full replay of the match where you can view in everyones perspective and also freecam if you want to
recording the physics position of every object is gonna be disastrous for servers tho
if its not in the game it maybe hard to find the cheaters because of all the debree that is flying around
perhaps
rocketleague has something like that but thats not really a game to compare to
the game will have cheaters at some point
oh fr? does the egg have instagram?
celeggbrity
its server side destruction though so it is possible
what? that's what makes it bad
it would probably be really hard to make it player accecible
it not only has to calculate all that in the server, it has to store it too
and someone replaying a past match
i dont want then to kill the servers j for a replay system
will have the same load as someone experiencing a live match
yeah thatd be rough
and imagine
how many wall tiles
and chunks of floor
the server deals with
for a game like fornite it's a lot easier
there are fewer physics objects, and the walls just need to remember health
I think the server only deals with them once they're destroyed
well yeah
Until then they stay as a linked list
but to be fair it only has to remember the health of each wall chunk (and whether it is held up by anything else)
when it's actually broken off, the real trouble occurs
Yeah
but Embark is literally magic and they clearly have found a way to optimize it like crazy
so no lag or anything
Also remember that the blocks break in procedural ways
they do not
they break the same each time I believe
Hm I noticed them break according to how I destroyed them
Like having margins
Oh ok no procedural is the wrong word
I just mean that the walls are made up of pieces
Depending on which one u break, the connecting ones are affected
Making it look more natural, I'm sure they have a system of construction stability to ensure that the building falls if most of it is unstable asf
oh well yeah
I think it works just like fortnite
but the lines between tiles are squiggly so you can't tell
Ahhh
I think that specific part may not be what were thinking
I think that's just how it looks
have you tried to destroy the cathedral staircase?
it's very clear then
Hmm honestly in the alpha I didn't play in the cathedral often haha
Either that or I got used to seeing those faint lines
But I know what u mean, they definitely exist
I've seem them in almost every destructive structure game
could you go into the cathedral
Yup! Was a great place to charge through the walls of lol
Had some pews I remember and sometimes a cash box
it was as full as real life
and there was a second floor balcony
all the stained glass could break
π
you can go inside everything
remember that mindset for Monaco
I would love that more than anything
I can see how that would be quite useful
for content creation
haha
Iβd go full send on the movie making if we can do that
guys, did they said if beta will be able to be streamed?
Yes! No NDA

and will be big enough to have real chances to play?
its random
totally real chance
As in number of players?
i saw its supposed to span for 2 weeks
yes, first beta was really really small
number of accepted people
was an alpha, and yeah
but this one is apparently 'hundreds of thousands'
nice
Yeah, the only official word was βhundreds of thousandsβ
(From Nexon investor call)
Can't wait to see what they have to say in the next quarter one
which should be in march
It was called CLOSED beta right? cant be much players
I wouldn't take if it's closed or open as a indicator of how many people will get in
Not gonna lie I'm surprised how few views the beta trailer has
It seems much lower than it should be
Feel like the game is just gonna have a life span similar to Rogue Company
Revealing it at the last state of play would have helped. Though beta is pc only.
No way they'd be able to announce a fully-pc beta period on a PS5-focused show haha
"Here we have a new and exciting game called The Finals. Sucks you bought a PS5 you losers because the beta is PC only."
Streamer xQc is gonna be playing the Beta
do you know the time stamp in the stream?
No, but I scrolled through his videos/clips on Twitch
mild interest, but nothing special
thinks the trailer is overwhelming and doubts that the game will run as good as the trailer, but will try it anyway
hope he likes it
The recent Nexon earnings call said it would test the game with hundreds of thousands of players
I hope more streamers try it out
Looking forward to shroud tbh. My absolute FPS idol
Just watched this, his reaction is hilarious
its xqc what do you expect
was it todays stream?
xqc gonna be in the beta wondering why his gun isnt autolocking as he's used too
or will it π
think so
auto lock gun confirmed??? π
I dunno
He will switch to auto lock melee
Smart pistol would be fun
im tryna look for it now
tf2's smart pistol was so legit
the only terrible thing in a masterpiece
(I certainly hope theres no auto-lock for melee)
It was so fun in multiplayer and singleplayer
tell me the timestamp when you get it
in singleplayer yeah
best thing i remember from titanfall2 was the sick ass titan executions
man i loved that game i had a g9 ion and my pilot was g20
Always felt like a badass zooming around with that thing
For me it was that mission where you could snap in and out of 2 separate times
YEAHHHH
I feel like all of that game was the best thing about it
The watch
I still think of that level
honestly best level of any singleplayer ever
It reminds me of a couple of levels from Dishonored 2
A smart pistol with low damage would be nice for people without the mechanical skill tho
It reminded me of a mechanic in the game Control
The Clockwork Mansion and Stilton Manor are like both one of the best designed levels I've ever played.
smart pistol is literally aimbot π
will do
omg ive been looking at the wrong stream cuz xqc never changing his clothes the gremlin
@kind agate https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1747990011?t=0h0m1s 6:57:25
thx

unless I missed it he said, he might play it
yea he will
nah that shit was OP, idk why we couldnβt have it the entire game ::
did shroud allready watch the trailer?
thanks as well
If I didn't know xqc I would though that this name looks like typical scammers link π
lmaooo
So very true
I reckon he'll at least try it out
He plays every new game
xqc chat reaction:
and now he knows it exists

Although
I don't think he stayed long enough to read the March 7th date π
Not Atomic Heart tho
His attention span is shorter than mine π
I really wanted this one from him
He's too busy with sons of the forest atm
maybe he is planning for atomic heart too
kekw
Last one XD
Here with timecode already
If anybody too lazy to scroll
"Battle of the frames"
XD
Dudes saying about low frames because of the falling stuff but they are forgetting BF4 with the same thing and perfect frames
dude thinks it's apex xD
Quake POG
if you can change out the black and yellow for the guns, maybe you can have skins for the c4 too?!
this glass-breaking is so damn cool, and it's gonna look like this for all glass?!
Dead GPU pepega
hehe
and cpuπ
from what I saw the system requirements are actually pretty okay
helps that the destruction is gonna be server-side
It really does, alpha ran surprisingly well on my 1050ti
Forgetting that BF4 was buggy?
Most of the AAA industry just got shamed by The Finals minimum specs.
Especially Sporefoken.
You can catch brain mold from playing poorly optimized games.
This totally scientific picture proves my assertion.
If you look very carefully. You may be able to see the subject is experiencing hallucination. This is a normal effect of brain mold.
?
Sporefoken is Forespoken. Once I made that connection. The leap to brain mold was a natural choice for a joke.
Idk, basically, bad games hurt your brain. Literally.
I'm in the wrong chat, sorry.
even my terrible pc reaches the minimum comfortably
That's amazing! Embark is primed to dismantle the current standards of game development. I love it! The more people who can play, the better!
Now, would you say that your pc is in line with a ps4? Or better? Worse?
oh better
Okay, then it can't be that bad.
its slighty worse or the same as a ps5
its got 16gb of 3000hz ram DDR4 which is recommended and ik lack of ram limits performance ALOT in games so i should be all good
cuz its practically on deaths door i need to build a new one
oh and my cpu is above recommended
But sorry, have u played with those specs? @dull hawk
same here
It sucks seeing hardware age.
I have a lot of old consoles.
I miss read maybe. Like i was wondering on the optimisation of the game
It's gonna be well optimized.
ah mb im pretty sure embark are magic at optimisation ive been told
These are some of the same people who made the Shanghai tower collapse possible on xbox 360.
Don't forget that water
On 360.
on 360 is crazy
Im also curious to see the networking side of the game. I pray for good focus on that regard.
Howdy yolks, can we move the tech talks over to #π₯βoff-topic or even the main chat if you're talking the finals specs? Thank you 
The Server Refresh rate is going to be 60hz or above no doubt
Sorry.
gotchu dw
All good
It just so people can have more leeway to check images and links here without scrolling through tons of chatter 
yeah mb
in todays video, i analyse the latest trailer for the finals that was released on the 23rd of Feb
join me on the 7th of march on twitch to see some gameplay
twitch.tv/sznj
hey guys a made an analysis video on the finals breaking down the trailer be sure to give it a watch <33
w
W vid
In China social media (Dou Yin)
bruh pls not china... xD their hackers ruin every frikin game
I'm no software dev but I imagine server side movement allows for easier anticheat detection at least against weird speedhacks
Theres no need to detect when speedhacks arent possible
Technically you can make wallhacks near impossible but its very difficult to do right and is very server costly
I imagine the same could be said about the server side destruction
Game aint out yet so we can't claim that. Apex had easy anti cheat but had speedhackers every other game for a while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR7O8M5kdaI
True the same can be said about server side destruction it's going to be more computationally heavy but it's confirmed that the destruction is indeed done on the server https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2073850/view/3667656258508669470
Sorry. I should say near impossible or highly unlikely
Without exploiting the game to trick the server into thinking your movement is valid
well since movement is server-side id think it's detection is easier but who knows. It's up to embark to figure out anticheat not me
If the server runs a emulation of the game its very diffucult to do so. Plenty of popular titles have had no known public movespeed exploits or if they did it got patched quickly
Easy anti cheat doesnt prevent speedhacks it scans your system for the presence of cheats
Yeah im saying that because this game is more server reliant anti cheat would be easier
True, just need to wait for what kind of anti cheat does Embark Studio use on The Finals
yeah it did
@bright bramble they have to make the game fast enough so speed hacks would be a disadvantage π
Easy anti cheat isnβt that good anyways. Literally every master/pred lobby on apex during the first week and last week of every season has some random rookie IV cross mapping you from horizon lift π
The last MMO I played with EAC had a guy using no skill cooldown/speed hack for almost 2~3 months before getting banned. Only because we the players submitted enough video evidence.
cheating only gonna get worse with these AIs coming out
Yo, I wanna try making some Finals content, but my anxiety is telling me that pinging Rockhound and asking for advice would make me look annoying. What do?

Bump!
Looking annoying is a temporary feeling, whereas making great videos and be considered as a good content creator is forever π
I also make content too if you need anything just hmu
Will watch on my lunchbreak SZN excited to see it ^^
β€οΈ
Yooooo. Definitely noted, and will ask a few things whenever I have some free time. :0
@graceful snow gave the vid some love
Thanks man means a lot!
Ofc! I'll send over a friend request feel free to DM me whenever!

DM me π
Hello yolks! 
We've been going through a lot of changes up and down to accommodate our growing community, and recently that included our Content Creator program. To make sure those changes are reflected fairly, we have decided to update Rule 8, which now encompasses all social media related self-promotion. In respect to that, we will not delete any video or self-promoted content that was already posted prior, but from now on we would like to ask our yolks to kindly refrain from promoting their channels here or in other areas of the Discord. With that, we have also lowered the requirements for our Content Creator applications, to give a much fairer chance to all of our smaller avid creators out there 
(We also ask our yolks kindly for your patience regarding the Content Creator applications. The team is super thrilled to see a lot of people applying, but it will take a bit to carefully go through all of them!)
If you have any questions on that, please feel free to ask me or send us a General Inquiry EggMail, we'll be happy to get any doubts cleared and thank you for being understanding! 
I tried but your DMs are disabled. :v
Ah, I think you need to send a friend request first
I tried but you're not accepting friend requests.

Hwat?! Lol
Loved the video @graceful snow good break down! Hope you bring some clips from the beta too when we get to play π
Thanks it means a lot honestly 
Just to be clear, this doesn't affect #π¨βoff-topic-art right?
Cuz I feel like sharing Vs promoting is a very grey thing sometimes
If you're posting art or created content such as game related, sound related, its still applicable there.
We won't go hunting yolks or get anyone in trouble, don't worry about that
Its a fairly new rule and we will have a long time to get everyone acquainted with it.
So if I send a link to a deviantart post of my artwork, would that be allowed? (In the respective channel)
I don't wanna break the rule haha that's why
Yeah if you're showing a piece of art that is fine, we will sensibly understand the difference between that and promoting yourself, don't worry
β€οΈ awesome thanks for the clarification
any NA content creators?
a friend of mine doesn't have a big channel, but he can apply for short videos about games.
i would send the application link
send channel
Yolks please, we just updated the rules - keep the channel to its purpose 
Cwispy π©

6.jpg is my fav part of any trailer of any game in the last 3 years
Its such a cool moment for sure
lemme find a better frame
surprisingly few interactions with the video honestly
probably more views on gamespot
ive only seen it 9 times
how soon until wifi?
Uhm
Well the technician did the networkin shit
So
1h
So now it's like
20 minutes
THANKS FISH
Literally love you man
That's the best gif of the century
Idk who thought of tjay
Thats crazy
The slow motion
Yet it looks like its still
And the arrows getting closer together π«
I need that skin
oh yes so much
honestly there are not many skins which I'd say look best on the heavy
but this is one of them
the motorcycle helmet is a great fit
I wanna wear a LED helmet with a suit
I feel like it would fit well
well IDK what it actually is
the gif on the right
but idk this fit was made for the heavy
iykwim
(ifyouknowwhatimean)
Gotta protect my noggin from all the debris when I charge!
ballerina is the perfect outfit for heavy and you can't question me
Really like this medium's fit too with the debonair hair.
oh yes me like
Also if you check in the segment where they are crossing the bridge the hoodie he is wearing has little rabbit ears!
Yeh let me dig the frames real quick
Ooh that sounds really cool I can't wait for the customization
?
I love all the aesthetic so far it feels really cool
This frame has a good show that it is ears
You can see both lifting up off the hood
Oooh yeah I kinda see it
Sadly obligated to grab everything bnnuy related
Gonna have my medium decked out in the cute rabbit ear hoody and the cute cow bag on his hip.
shame you can't put the hoodie up
Never say never!
My feedback form is always growing lol
some clothing maybe has multiple ways of wearing it
^^increases value of cosmetic hehe
watching the finals beta trailer for the first time in 1080p/1440
ENJOY
Huzzah Swa has data again!
HOLY SHIT BRO
mouth cropped
smile popped
jaw dropped
eyes shocked
bro this shit is craaazy
I only have 17. π¦
that's.. like halfway soon! you'll get there in no time, keep going for it π
I appreciate the encouragement, I really do.
Halfway soon? As in its getting lowered?
just trying to be slightly comedic haha
I'm just acknowledging you still have a while to go, but I really think you'll make it if you try
did they extend the timer?
or maybe its just a placeholder since its not moving
the rounds have always been 10 mins, no?
i thought they were 8
The banner was also lacking all the things like pre-round event and in round event so I bet that was just a basic banner tossed together either way.
3 8 minute rounds no?
they clearly will have longer match lengths to try and get the perfect shot in for the video
yeah you right
and also their test areas aren't supposed to last 8 minutes each
alpha trailer had 3.5 hours on the board hehe

can't wait to see how it is this time round
the timers, death times, stealing objective, cashout timer..
I hope it's more balanced and fun
Gonna try all of the melees
yes
I always love melee kills so I'm definitely gonna be trying to get them wherever possible
I think it might?
Seems reasonable but dont think it did in the beta
Err alpha
We saw in the trailer the new ground slam can bring a floor down so maybe the sledge will get new treatment
I think it was like that in the Alpha?
Good to know
otherwise what's the point of ground slam π
Hehehe it does already
It's not super fast at it think it took 2-3 swings to break a wall segment
Buff it
Either way melee was super fun in the alpha the sledgehammer was above and beyond my favorite weapon.
Bonking all those pesky little lights that got near my cash box.
I'm new here. Has anyone thus far been discussing our character reloading a big hunk of cheese in the beta trailer?
I've got an image but I can't post it here quite yet.
haha plenty have
I've personally made it my life's goal to unlock/find/equip that cheddar
π§
still not receiving enough attention imo
we should all strive for the cheese
Bold of you to assume cheddar but I share in your passion.
that's no cheddar
it's swiss cheese
I hope Embark announce that they're acting upon player feedback by adding secondary weapons to the loadout for the beta, only for us to discover that they're just various food items with no practical use.

Yeah, hence the green leaf next to my name.
Maybe? I'm not sure if that's why, but I also couldn't post an image to the channel.
Yeah that makes sense. The internet is guilty until proven innocent, for good reason.
This came up a while ago in the #easter-eggs , it might just be that
ooh
thanks for the clarification β€οΈ
Made a gif of my favorite animation from the trailer while I was EE hunting.
Can't believe EE hunt made me learn photoshop for the first time in 10 years lol. Wanna get better at making gifs though it's neat.
Woo. Finishing up the first draft of my first script, I think.

Not sure how exactly I'm supposed to get a viewerbase when I can't advertise here, nor am able to post in #πβvideos-content due to a lack of prerequisites, but I'll try to make due.
post it in here maybe
Pinned says you're not allowed to advertise your own videos.
Because of the new content creator thing.
But that also makes it harder to gain traction in the first place.


I know right π
i feel like knowing photoshop and premier pro is so nice these days
Frr!
Good to see how people have the money to invest in these software tho π
my school invests in it π
my poor ass would be in the negative thousands if i had it
I don'tπ
For every paid software there is a free alternative haha
who is saying that i pay for it 
Photopea on top πππͺπͺ
