Upcoming PC Game 'Escape From Tarkov' Might be the Most Realistic Shooter Ever Made.

So, I was searching more about this upcoming Story driven FPS with Co-op/Competitive/MMO/RPG/Survival elements and came across some new stuff that I thought would be interesting to share. First things we already know:

• Hardcore online action RPG/Simulator in a contemporary Russian setting. In Escape from Tarkov, everything hinges on the player and their ability to adapt, survive and overcome any obstruction.
• Story-oriented game advancement with unique quest elaboration. By completing missions and tasks, players not only learn the history of the Tarkov conflict, but also increase their chances to survive and escape the hot zone.
• Next-level realism. Escape from Tarkov is a combat simulator that includes a multitude of hazardous influences. Player actions are influenced by numerous factors, from character’s injuries and physical state to environmental effects.
• Absolute freedom of actions and character control. the game employs 100% realistic ballistics, a full procedural effect system, absolute control of movement, interaction with environment, stealth actions and more. Escape from Tarkov also employs advanced system weapon handling and customization.
• Unique skills and character progress system. The character receives different types of experience depending on what they are doing. The player can improve more than 100 skills that are separated into 4 types: physical, cognitive, combat and practical.
• Individual game progress and choice of tactics. Raids on enemy bases, stealth operations, cooperative missions, trading, exploring, collecting resources, radio communications – in Tarkov, every player finds something for themselves.
• AI-controlled economy influenced by players. The character can barter useful resources, engage in auction activities or open their own business with subordinates and systems.
• Multitude of offline activities. Healing, trading, spying, weapons improvement and customization, management of loot stashes, researches, etc.

Not only that but Escape from Tarkov combines Third and First Person animations completely without affecting the gameplay. This is something that very few games have dared try in the past and most of them ended up either affecting the gameplay's fluidity (Thief: Deadly Shadows) or didn't combine them completely (ArmA 3).

Here we have insane amount of detail in every animation in both First and Third Person. Player character interacts with the environment the most realistic way possible. There are different animations even for the smallest task. Weapon detail is insane. They observed actual weapons very closely and made them by combining several small parts, that move realistically during gun fights. These parts can also be customized and your weapons can jam. The game also uses minimal UI, so you'll have to check your remaining bullets manually by observing your magazine, instead of looking at counter at bottom of the screen like other games.

The game also features survival elements and it's necessary to find loot, eat food, drink water, use bandages on wounds, use medicines to cure infections and so on to survive in this visceral world. The game is story based where two opposing factions are trying to escape fictional city of Russia Tarkov during recent disaster. Both of these factions are controlled by different players and the game is sandbox level based. These levels progress the story and reveal more about the reality of the disaster and the history of Tarkov.

The game's beta is coming soon, and I am very excited for the game. Share your thoughts.

Looks like I need friends.

Sounds interesting. I'm even more interested because some of those guys were blocking out their faces and and altering their voices. I don't know if that's actually necessary, but I love that...lol

I'll be looking out for this one.

Edit: I just looked up Battlestate Games. Is this their first game? It looks really polished.

Still online....which sucks.

@mjorh: see that's what I call a real FPS

Weren't you defending Destiny?

Sounds like my dream FPS, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high until we've seen more.

it’s really ironic, isn’t it ? how a little team of Russian developers could successfully accomplish something that Activsion & Bungie couldn’t achieve with $500 million

.

The problem with a lot of big ass devs/pubs these days is that they don't know what they want to do with their game. They try to please everyone possible and in the end the game looses its direction.

Independent devs have more freedom to create whatever they want and they are not forced by pubs to chase COD audience, so their design is a lot more focused and the game doesn't have identity crisis.

Since is hardcore and realistic, then means that Gamespot will give 7 out of 10 for begin too realistic, too hard and too hard for console gamers. Just like those webpages complained that you can't kill enemy with shotgun with 1 shot like sniper rifle and why bullets don't hit enemy when you aim at enemy.

Yeah... gamespot gonna hate this just like they hated arma and stalker for same reason. can't use shotgun as sniper? i give 7 out of 10

Shame

They made Command Wars before this one. It was a smaller game but gave them enough experience, resources and publisher support to make this bigger game next.

no SP = waste of time

it sucks that this game have no SP but consider this that making a single campaign would rise the cost of development , I doubt they have the budget for such a thing

I don't think that "most realistic" is something that translates into fun.

They haven't accomplished anything yet.

It does sound interesting but I won't jump onto the hype train because of some "hardcore" promises.

SP doesn't sell this is a business man

It seems that i'm getting this one!

Does it have SP? Nope. Then why in the hell you bash Battlefield ?

This game has taken a realistic approach , BF1 has taken more of an arcady one ....no one has any advantage over another as far as concept is concerned.....so there's no "real FPS" , that's just a dumb term.

Btw, BF1 has SP.

yeah nothing is certain but I will give them the benefit of doubt ...

I'm not bashing BF , I jus don't like it as much as you do and since when you care about SP ? XD

But it looks fun too.

@the_master_race: You don't like Online games, that goes without saying, yet you defend this one and not BF

i care about SP but i don't expect it from games like this

The battlefield campaigns are laughable at best, thats why they skipped making one for star wars battlefront, because dice doesn't know how to make a proper campaign anyway, beside a lot of people play these games for the sake of the multiplayer anyway. Sometimes I ask myself why I even play the campaign, its just a waste of time, when I can directly jump into multiplayer. Either make a singleplayer focused game or a multiplayer focused game, you cant have both.

That's for sure, that's why i don't expect a "Bioshock" story from such games....it's all about MP.

But i'd rather have one ...atleast it's good for warm-up :D

Because making a shitty campaign is a huge waste of money that could have been used for something else.

i used to think like that but Titanfall and Battlefront changed my mind. BF4 and BF3 with shitty campaigns blow the said games outta water.

this one is different

It's MP and you suck at MP ....stick with SP games :P

go play division

.

Calm down guys. TBH, I would've liked a campaign in this game too but things they are trying to achieve in this game are not possible in offline modes.

But unlike other competitive games where you kill each other without any purpose, here the game has a lot of story and world building to it, which is a good thing.

So, let's enjoy the game for what it is and not what we wanted it to be.

I understand the need to put games online in order to draw in larger crowds (especially in pay-to-win type environments) but when can we start having some more single-player focused content like this? Sure, we're getting Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but from an industry that used to put out several games like this a year to most games being glorified cash grabs (not saying this will be, just in general) it's really disappointing as someone who thrives on SP-only content.

Certainly multiplayer wise, but the campaign still feels pointless. Anyway, hardline also had a campaign and everything else in the game still sucked ass.

its online PvP only?

Then I'm not interested.

I like how the Division done it.

I rather choose a multiplayer game that offers me countless hours of gameplay over a game that only offers me a two hour campaign with a weak multiplayer. Don't get me wrong I enjoy games with a strong focus on singleplayer, but singleplayer in a multiplayer focused game is often a waste of money and time.

@Cloud_imperium: Yeah....and it being an online game is one of the main reasons I don't play it anymore.

Is there a problem?

I think it sounds amazing, like a cross between Dayz and Stalker. Not sure why so many people are upset its online-only, running into other players in games like these really jacks up the tension.

However, I am suspicious it will be a buggy mess. Hopefully that is not the case.

@with_teeth26: in my case, I'm not upset...I just don't have the time to deal with online games.

If this is one of those "you need a group to survive"....I don't have the time,

That's my biggest concern too. Buggy, and a tad clunky in some areas just like many other games like this turn out.

Just go play arma or something.

You are hilarious.

Your sense of humor sucks.

This right here. Faaaaaak mp.

I understand it's the cheap & easy way out though.

... They really don't compare.. Destiny is a co-op game with a competitive death match mode and the like.. This game is going the typical online dayz survival "asshole" simulator as I like to call it.. We really have enough of them.

@Heil68: I don't thinks it just pvp

Wait...do you have to group in this game. I could have sworn I read in one of these threads about this game that to survive you had to group up or you'll get ganged up on by others.

ive never played DayZ so if this is a game where you don't have to group up like the Dark Zone in The Division...then I might give it a go.

.. You can group up or not.. The problem with these types of games is it basically turns into a cluster **** where you do not trust any one period.. The Division Dark Zone doesn't even compare because even that game gives you incentives not to kill every one you meet.. And if you do so there are consequences such as showing up on every ones map and being able to get killed with out any drawbacks.... These survival games were cool starting off but the multiplayer aspect really has brought out the worse in people.. I really feel like this genre is basically the chat roulette of video games..

@sSubZerOo: that doesn't sound like much fun.

I know it's got some badass looking weaponry, but I'm cautious about the entire package and how it all comes together. These games often bite off way more than they can chew.

Most Realistic Shooter= not always have to be most fun shooter

Some live gameplay.

So when is the beta?

You had to necro this topic for that?
