War of the Worlds - Playing as the Tripods (20 Minutes of Gameplay) 

We would be getting them tripod skins like the original wotw's novel tripod as a skin man I can imagine playing this like hide and seek games, the histeria would be insane in this game.

It is clearly going to be multiplayer, just like SCP Breach there is going to be multiple spawn faction, Military/Civilian/Aliens. I presume Civilians objective would be to run away and survive, and the Military objective would be to secure Civilians and destroy the Tripods. There's also going to add a timer limit of 3 days or something, maybe even a week, because Tripods and Aliens would be infected by germs and bacterias bringing the game to an end.

Raf is planning for multiplayer

Could be like a escape from Tarkov like br

That's what I was thinking

vaporizing humans for fun x)

😂😂

The details are so f*cking sick too. The camera static while booting up, as it slowly rises from the dust. And don't get me started on the probe section! *Now this is pod racing!!*

if you think about maybe they are

@@AurelionSass Kinda surprised such advanced probe tech still gets the "fish eye" effect.

Still haunts my dreams, but damn it doesn’t get old.

@@dragonborncastle6409 Couldn't agree more. It just sounds so terrifying and ominous. I can just imagine living through that nightmare and being traumatized by that trumpeting.

Not only is it spot on but they made several new variations. I’m so stoked omg

Early Access rn: 👁️👄👁️​@@Mike_StorM

The neighbors loved the 21 surrounding speakers out the windows, they all turned on their lamps just to tell the tripods somebody is at home!

H. G. Wells hated the illustrations inspired by his book in the London magazines at the time of publication, I doubt these pointy militaristic tripods set in small town America would fare better. Maybe one day someone will do a rendition that's true to the source.

@@mediaconsumer9114 i assume you're talking about the first designs by Warwick Goble, which yeah Wells hated them because they looked like they couldn't move at all, "tilted, stiff tripods without either flexibility or subtlety" in his own words. I think he did really like the Henrique Alvim designs however, which paved the way for most tripod designs since. Honestly considering how sci-fi has evolved since then I'd like to think Wells would like the Spielberg design as well, there's a few mismatched details here and there but to compare them to the accuracy of the Warwick Goble designs is a bit much imo.

@@BlindVoid yeah I think he'd like the 2005 designs, especially since he described the machines in the book as having tenticle-like appendages.

Considering the developer of this game is blatantly ripping off the franchise, without even asking for permission from the copyright holder. Says all you need to know. It'll never get released. All he's doing is trying to encourage people to give money to a kickstarter, that he'll steal and then disappear.

​@@WeRemainFacelessin their defense, the game is still in pre-alpha and nowhere near a profitable state yet. If they release a complete game using the designs and start making money off of it then that's when the copyright owners will get involved. They even have a custom back-up design to use for the game in case a situation like that happens. I'd say kudos to them for at least thinking ahead of time

Same here and the screen on the pov reminded me of a Jeff Wayne game

To me it's the sound design. This dev put some heavy ambient to it that it gives you goosebumps on headphones

SAMEEEEEEEEEEE

i wounder how would it look like if it was in vr

@@clydecurcio669everyone would have a heart attack playing as survivor lol

Oh well im sure they are gonna be adding alot more life to this game cuz yeah right now its a little lifeless. But none the less, this is sick.

​@@jacksonandy218pre alpha is the clue

​@@jacksonandy218it's gonna be multiplayer they've already showed gameplay as human

D

@@naysayerck5971there is a simple version of it on Roblox already😂as the game mode is really nice but the quality is bad so i also very expectation this one❤

We will but it needs a lot more work yet so I hope it's not released for at least another year

I don't care if the game takes 2 more years, if the final product is going to be much better than these little "update snacks" even if it costs 100 dollars I will buy it

It would be Hella sick but it would take the dev lots of time with a small budget and small team

vr actually sucks

We will have VR support, but not now.

They could make people run in fear and scream in despair, but what can they do, right? Not that they are sadistic.

Oh man, the civilian mode is especially made for VR. Would be unreal

I have been on the receiving end of said blow. Not many from my team survived. I wonder if they updated the game. I would really like a better weapon than just a javelin and an M4.

I feel like regular citizens shouldn't have guns to fight the aliens, so that the game follows the original. In the movie, they had pistols/revolvers max (against the tripod, this still wouldn't stand a chance). But I dunno, perhaps some basic defense isn't too bad.

@@constantine4331 as far as I last played the game( 1 month plus ago) the civilians don't have guns. Just the military.

imagine this had VR mode

Then imagine one of your other friends is actually the one piloting the Tripod

Have you not seen Tom Cruises War of the Worlds? I think the sound effects are similar to this movie. For me the best Tom Cruise movie btw.

@@Usul75 I really like that they took the design and atmosphere of that movie's adaptation of the book. The sound design really is great, that windup was so satisfying!

I just said that out loud to myself

@@Usul75 That movie was great up until one of the worst endings that I have ever seen

@@daniellee100 By the book...

Is it me or should the tripods crush whatever is in their path?

​@Kaiyats why would they risk damage to their legs when they can just walk around em

@@Kaiyats naw

True, I love this movie as well and hope it does well on release.

Shit fucked my childhood and made me afraid of lighting

The horn is one of the most spine chilling sounds I've heard, the 2005 movie is still one of my favorites.

E pensar que isso era uma adaptação de um livro de um cara,! Ele os atores na rádio pegaram "o" livro e contaram a. História como se fosse real. Na rádio.

Release day gonna be wild

They are recording them on their phones, lol.

yes AI needs more nuances. 22% chance to evade 22% chance to fight 12% to cower idk the list can go on

Remember how Dakota Fanning got grabbed in the film?

“Perolized” 🤔

It would be difficult to say the least but having crowding AI could be really cool too, everyone funnels to evacuation points escorted by national guard in the mid stage.

[ insert twotripods_crouchspamming.jpg here ] "man what the hell are they doin?"

Yeah and same when your done searching the house you could just have it retract.

Very interesting mechanics and I think these are great suggestions

​@@adambrandt1858you could press r to go reverse and hold r for like 2 seconds to retract

​@@ReincarnationofiForgormore than likely you would have to hold our while you reverse, so it would probably be more of a proximity-based trigger. If you were within X number of inches from the doorway, it would retract, but if you are well within the confines of the building, it will just reverse

Just to go back when you press s, on the same path that you come in

with the tripod u go on a guy on sneaky mode and u just say : hello XD

@@druidofscosglen2868 I agree. I imagine Dead by Daylight rules or something, where you'd have to specifically queue to play as a Tripod or a Human, that way you wouldn't feel cheated when someone else gets to be a tripod. I'm sure there'd be some looong queue time for tripods though lol

@@druidofscosglen2868 bro i would love being the humans because its horrifying

Not kink shaming, but..

Fact

Lmfao

Feels longer than 2 years.

Rip

Saw some work-in-progress stuff ages ago but I believe they've had to do some major reworks since then, it's looking great

You missed an opportunity to write “no one would have believed”

​@@maccathetracca😂

Didn’t see that coming, now did we….

I have been dreaming about this game since I was kid xd

I would rather have to be stuck in first person it would feel way more realistic and if it where to be multiplayer and some one was third person they could see way more of there surroundings and by seeing how far the lasers went I think it would be way to op

@@whyismynamehere I think I like the fallout 4 option would be the best where generally it's gonna be in first person most of the time but the option to switch to third person for spectacle or something is there.

@@user-oz9jq5ss4sthere's a good game on roblox i've played it's called WOTW:S and it's similar to this if you're too impatient

this is indie

This is a tech demo, these things are always impressive.

This is being made by just one dude

@@WorldOfWaldo Astartes was also made by a single dude. Tech demo are not gameplay footage. Like i said, you can look at all tech demo and there is always a massive difference with the game at release. Anthem and Cyberpunk 2077 are the best exemple, never trust a tech demo.

😐

me to bro fr i fking love this movie i wanted a game on this

same

Oh it's based on movie? No wonder why it feels I seen this somewhere.

Imagine being the player trying to hide in a house and you hear that loud booming earthquake sound and loud robotic sound.

Nightmare fuel man.

Just see the tripod teabag the house were hiding and chilling in 😂😅

Human vs tripod multiplayer would be so cool

In the movie, the laser not affect any damsge for the road, it's just damaging wood houses. And only delete flesh i think

@@FreuRozen 'The' movie was actually just one of the movies and adaptiations. If you want an authoritative source it would be the book where the heat-rays melted iron and anything in its way.

This would be awesome. What would be better though, and I understand it's super difficult to do, would be to have actual destruction. If the Lazers actually carved into the ground or destroyed buildings. It would give humans ways to duck and weave more. They could run from one destroyed building to the next. Or run through the trenches created by the Lazers.

@@baddiemcbadbad9231 mean we have tear down game which has interesting physics which I love. Roblox surprisingly has some weapons that can destroy some default base plates that can be destroyed and leave a physical mark on the ground and if you do it enough times you could make a big hole in the ground

That would afext performance, so could be problematic if it's trying to have many players in a single lobby

for real, the sounds gave me the heckin creeps, just like in the move

I agree with everything but the first one. If you made it all grainy it would be soooo hard to see the little ant like humans running arround. I could bearly even see them as is. I would say just put a kind of fish eye lense effect on the boarders of the screen and tint it just a tiny bit in green or purple or something. But just a tiny bit.just around the edges of the screen. That would be badass

I was going to suggest for probing that there was a way to quickly exit out of the view since it took forever to get back to the exit once a human was spotted inside. Presumably you want to kill them asap

By lore, they are from Mars.

Great ideas

@@eageraurora879 There is, I just wanted to go outside to show how its connected to the tripod

The sound design was one of the most terrifying things about the 2005 movie.

🍷🗿

I'M A SEAGULL, WITNESS ME!

Yes u can play as the tripod !!!

You mean this Novel by HG Wells called War of the Worlds...

@@Janzer_he design of the tripods and how they operate seem more akin to the films version of them.

The dumb girls pig squeal screams ruined the movie for me

I assume it'll be somewhat like that hiding from Freddy/Jason multiplayer RPG.

​@@smokingcrab2290but it should be an easter egg to eventually follow them or ignore them

They totally could be, games like the Isle and Path of Titans make use of using #'s on your keyboard, causing your dinosaur to make vocalizations of different intents

@@Von_Langstein and when you return as a player, you start understanding what each horn means 😟

The tripods in the film seemed to have at least three distinct calls. The main tripod roar we're most familiar with seems to indicate "humans located" which calls other tripods to the calling tripod's location from all directions. Then during the early parts of the Ferry scene, one of the tripods lets out a different call while examining the fleeing humans with its spotlights; I think this call might have been a signal saying, "Leave them alive to be captured." And toward the end of the film the tripod the marines take down seemed to give off a new call we haven't heard before, which might be a distress call since its systems were failing. They definitely seem to use the calls to communicate to each other.

i hope for the human players the bellows are either randomized or otherwize unintelligible, sure it could be cool to strategize by learning the specific bellows and what they mean but that would ruin the point of the bellows being so strange and alien to humans, it would just go from being horrifying to hearing it and thinking you need to run Now or shoot Now

@@blehh_mae it does make sense to allow a secret means of communication. Humans are quite good at gleaning what sounds or even motions mean.

That does not seem very fun😂

That would be arguing: the simulator

Maybe thats why they lost in the end lmao@@normalpersononyoutube94

nah playing as tripod sucks you need to be scared

So basically EDF but you're in an alien mech instead.

And improving asset quality/level of detail. Would love to see better-looking towns, buildings and scenery

@@joellouisfire Hopefully we see that in the later stages of development, maybe alongside some persistent destruction physics on houses and ground damage from the heat rays.

@@joellouisfire tbh those are things i would be fine being polished after/during the Early Access phase. I know the developers of this game are perfectionists and the AAA gaming world is basically a huge meme nowadays with their broken, unfinished releases. But everything that is basically just a matter of optimization and polish im fine with coming later, at least when talking about "Early Access".

What do you like about the 2005 film? Genuinely curious as I really didn’t like it at all.

Same! Three generations of my family are excited for this game as well. My mother, little cousin and I. It's stunning to put in mindset that this story, It's details are so beloved that generation after generation falls in love with it.

@@ieajackson5518 Well the first I really have to say how realistic it is. As the book is great, it was written a long time ago and the mindset of it did not age really well I would say. With 2005 movie you are actually struck with an event that noone can explain, seen from a perspective of not a hero and also not a greatest dad in the world main character. No love plot, no bullshit, just a guy who wants to survive and has to protect his children which he, as we see in the movie, is not really interrested in. Second, the sound design is so fkn amazing that the tripod horn sound still to this day makes me shiver, and I am writing this as a 34 years old guy who seen the movie as a 15 years old back then. Third, its the overall design and feel of the movie. The holy trio of the cinema - Spielberg, Kaminski, Williams - did it again, fully emerging viewer into action just like with Schindlers list or Saving private Ryan. IDK if you saw the movie in the cinema, but for me it was like I was there or watching a found footage camera sometimes. The music score with its high violin contrasting the deep brass instruments works so well as the violins are of wood, organic, and brass is metal, heavy and forged. That is really interresting for me as the tripods - as I understand from the movie - are working like an organism. You can hear its engines beat liks a heart in some scenes, the probe drone is shown with veins and liquids oozing from it when it is struck with an axe and also at the end, the alien emerges from tripod after a lot of liquid pours down. Camera is also very realistic, stays on the ground for the whole movie with an exeption of like 5 seconds of the very first tripod scene (probably to show us how big the tripods actually are). Kaminski is know for using his camera very smart, he knows exactly what he is doing and what to show us, which is extremely important in Earth invasion movies. In the crowd scenes you always know what is going on as the camera is focused on important things. In the cellar, you feel the claustrophobia with wider lenses used for filming, showing all the shit Ray and his daughter stepped into. All and all, to me this is a perfect and flawless invasion movie, starring the biggest hollywood star, directed by the greatest hollywood director using his visionary style to revive a 100 years old sci-fi book.

@@ieajackson5518 The aliens are unique...or at least their weapons of mass destruction are. It rings true too - as human technology has developed, our weapons of war have gotten bigger and bigger (carriers, tanks, etc) -- so it would stand to reason that beings that are so many generations ahead of us would be fighting on such a massive scale.

@@Judas_1989 I'm glad to see a genuine fan of this movie. I always thought it was underrated and kind of came and went and seemed overshadowed by his other science fiction movie from the time, Minority Report. I like the photography even better in War of the Worlds.

I KNEW something sounded familiar 😂

To my knowledge, everything is going to be destructible, took them a long time just to get the POD animations coming from the ground.

@@TheBeardedItalian99 That's good to hear :)

Back in the early days the plan was to make the buildings destructible, we got to see some footage of a Heatray exploding a building, at the time it was pretty janky but I believe there are still plans for destructible environments in the full release which I'm sure will look a lot better.

@@TheBeardedItalian99 Ya it's a big challenge to take on. My only hope is that they can stay engaged long enough to finish this game to the best of their ability. I would hate for them to get burnt out and release something unfinished, or worse, not release anything at all.

@@dive2drive314 they've been working on this game for awhile, it's gained a huge following, I highly doubt they're burnt out. Especially after trying to get rights to make the game.

He had already stated before that there would be a gamemode where they would be playable

There are video's from the very beginning where you can already see tripod gameplay

Yep, this is how I have addressed this issue with Fog of War

@@waroftheworldsgame9026 Excellent

⁠ ???? Uberpod is fix 👇like for goal:1k

​@@waroftheworldsgame9026 i wanna see... what the tripod cage and watching a person getting sucked in because of a sphincter vore looks like... THAT WAS TERRIFYING!!!😨😰😱

​@@waroftheworldsgame9026Thank you for answering, as I was also curious. I am, as well as my Mom, and little cousin; are so excited to play this! It made me realize, the three generations of family so hyped for the sane franchise and excited to play a game that allows you to experience it so fantastically. My Mom who grew up on it, then me who fell in love with the last movie. Then of course my cousin who's growing up and being introduced through video game trailers and getting excited.

so nice ^^

@@RandomAsianBoy Thanks! 😊

Out of all of those artworks that one actually really blew me away (ofc the others are really good) but it's like you could feel the dread just by looking at it...10/10 bro keep going I would love to see more!

@@rexlityyxd9719 Really?! Thanks, man! Much appreciated. 🤩

AMAZING

bro even if the game cost 100$ i will get it too x'D

Thanks bro!!

I feel like I’ve seen you before….

I hope we can play as the military

That Movie As Popular As It Was. Will Still Never Get Credit For How Great It Was

And the fact the tripods don't even need to use the heat rays to destroy tanks they can just toss them like toys with their clutch of probes, we'd be in a pretty tough spot if an event like this occurred.

​@@TheIndoGoddon't capitalize every word it isn't a title
