Exoprimal s'adapte avec un test en réseau fermé et de nouvelles informations de Capcom Showcase

Accueil, new Exofighters.
Revealed at the Capcom Showcase earlier today, we’ve got new exoprimal information on gameplay, Exocombinaisons, a Closed Network Test, et beaucoup plus!

Catch up on the latest in the trailer above, then read on for more details about what to expect from the world of exoprimal.

Suit Up

We’ve previously covered four Exosuits: the sharp-shooting Deadeye, a ranged assault suit with sustained firepower; the aptly-named Roadblock, a tank suit that protects the team with its shield; the fleet-footed Zephyr, a melee assault suit that excels in cutting through groups; and the Witchdoctor, a support suit that keeps squads fighting fit. Aujourd'hui, we’re introducing two more assault suits that will join the fray, each specializing in a different kind of combat to eliminate dinosaur hordes (or an opposing Exofighter squad).

First up, Barrage brings the heat at close quarters, carving an explosive path of fire and destruction through anything that stands between them and their objective. Meanwhile, the newly revealed Vigilant takes a more pointed approach, preferring to use a long-range railgun to unleash deadly, precise shots on dinosaurs and opposing Exosuits alike. We’ll have more info on each of these suits at a later date, so keep your eyes open for more info soon.

Aside from your suits, you’ll also have access to a powerful customization option known as rigs. These useful additions serve a variety of roles that can enhance a suit’s existing capabilities or make up for deficiencies in a given Exosuit’s arsenal. Equip the Cannon for a long-range attack (even if you’re using a melee range suit like Zephyr), or try equipping the Aid rig on a Roadblock to effectively heal your teammates while shielding them from danger! Rigs allow an extra layer of customization to your personal playstyle, et, just like your suit, can be changed at any time – even in the middle of combat!

Behind these suits and their incredible ability to stand up to the incoming dinosaur menace is Leviathan – an AI that can predict where dinosaurs will appear next and has the ability to design even more powerful Exosuits using combat data. Developed by the Aibius Corporation, this next-generation AI guides Exofighters through the world of exoprimal via voice navigation and augmented reality displays. Among the many tasks that this AI handles, Leviathan will also guide Exofighters through the game’s main mode: Dino Survival. As helpful as Leviathan seems, there’s something disturbing about the combat trials and wargames it creates, requiring Exofighters to compete against one another in order to claim victory.

Adapt

Leviathan isn’t the type to hand out standard-issue challenges, and that means every match of Dino Survival will keep you on the tips of your armored toes at all times. The ability to change your suit even in the heat of combat comes in handy when objectives change dynamically based on Leviathan’s wild impulses. These ever-shifting goals ensure no two matches will play out the same way. Par exemple, your team’s first objective might be Dinosaur Cull. This mission type is just what it says on the tin, pitting your squad against specific targets or waves of dinos that you’ll be required to exterminate in order to proceed. Omega Charge, de l'autre côté, provides a massive hammer that’s used to obliterate targets. Energy Taker requires that you and your teammates gather up energy drops that dot the map in order to move forward.

Every success brings your team closer to victory, but there’s no time to rest when you’ve got an opposing Exofighter squad to worry about, trop. You’ll be racing against another team to complete objectives first, and any given match can put you in direct conflict with them in order to survive. Leviathan is only interested in the best combat data, après tout.

Survivre

Each match of exoprimal can change wildly depending on Leviathan’s objectives, so you’ll need to be prepared for anything… up to and including working with the opposing team. Not every match will result in conflict, as players on both teams may need to put aside their differences to take on terrifying new foes together. The fearsome Neo T. Rex is one of these mutated monstrosities, and both teams must cooperate to take it down before time runs out.

Aside from these strange new creatures, existing dinosaurs have been changed in their trip through space and time, taking on new properties. Triceratops, known to be herbivores and typically considered docile, have become violent and prone to charging at enemies with their horns. Raptors, already nimble and cunning, form massive packs that can easily overwhelm an unsuspecting team. There are even mutated raptors such as the Gas Neosaur that explodes when it’s defeated, or the Sniper Neosaur that can unleash powerful projectiles upon unsuspecting Exofighters. You’ll need to stay aware of your surroundings and take out these unique threats quickly.
