What Happened To These Features in Ready or Not? 

You could use the tactical ladder on crack house if you wanted to clear top down

Light baking is a process used to pre-render all the lighting information in a level, and apply that on top of the textures. The game is then downloaded with those modified textures with the lighting information, and it allows the player's computer not to re-render all the lighting information again. It allows for better lighting, and faster. One of its drawbacks however is that switching the lighting (for example from day to night) requires to switch to a different set of textures, which : - Increases RAM usage - Increases map sizes - Thus increases download sizes - Thus increasing load times - Requires more artists to work on a single level, to setup more lights - Requires more times for the artists to bake all those textures in the game, thus makes the workload less efficient Overall, it is a great technique, that has been used for decades for its effectiveness. But if VOID wants to add power-switching, they need to practically remake all the existing maps, and deal with all these drawbacks (which will send people complaining for sure). So it really isn't laziness on their part, it is a deliberate choice to deliver more quality content, faster, and with higher standards, at the cost of dynamic lighting. PS : About the custom maps who do that... Well, it was in the mind of their developer from the start, and they decided to tackle the problem from the start. I'm not saying it is impossible, just that it requires a lot of extra effort and more inconveniences for the players.

One thing I'd really like is media, news coverage, live reporter etc. cinematics based on your performance in the level. If you die, it'd show a semi-sad cutscene where the news reporter would announce you KIA and your team having to retreat, after the "OFFICER DOWN"-screen. (Maybe hours after the incident, not like they'd be on scene, but depending on the level of course)

vehicle infills would seemingly be a relatively easy feature to realise seeing as a lot of games use cinematic movement sequences as a hidden loading sections to cache shaders for new map areas, I'd assume if implemented they'd just replace the current deploy screen n like u say it might be something they decide to only use in SP.

I hate that the devs are just making one update for a whole year, and the worst part is when they released ADAM update they completely broke farm, the shader is just disgusting on the map and the ai is worse than old Brisa, after eight months they didn't even bother to try and fix these issues, instead they focused on making shoes, video contest and the "big" 1.0 update which only comes out by the end of the year, I like the game, I put 333 hours in it with my friends but It gets boring when we play the game without any new official map or features, at least what they could've done is release new maps one by one to keep us entertained and fix the existing issues like farm

the tactical ladder was available for use in pvp builds. it was placed into the game world, then fell with physics or when bumped by a player. this could act as a bridge to cross gaps or ascend steeper angles sierra team was previously playable, and acted as entirely different bodies, not just a scopecam truck deployments were previously implemented in game that isn't full hotel-- hotel was meant to have all 5 floors in one level, a hotel redux is coming anyways

Seems like the devs aren't even aware of what's already been done by smart modders. "Children of Taronne" (SWAT4 or Not) already has the ability to turn off power, and "Hot Coffee" already lets you act as a marksman. Are the devs seriously unaware of this???

I personally want to see functional laser/light combos, high/low ready, and the halligan bar!

6:21 Killzone 3 did this on the Operations multiplayer game mode. That was on PS3, back in 2010. It’s GOTTA be possible

There was also many scrapped animations like instead of bagging all weapons RON had weapon disarmament animations, u can choose dialogue on civilian and suspects, rough combat arrest animation when suspect dont wanna comply etc i saw that from yt channel named scp lewd something

quite literally every aspect of the cut content could have been introduced prior to go live. And considering everyones comments about lighting. As of 1.0 there's maybe, 3-4 levels that would benefit to cutting the power. So it's not as if they didn't have the time. And as theyve already either cut entire levels or remodelled entire levels, they could have had this in mind...but they didn;t.

Man im dying for a feature where we can turn out the lights or at least shoot them out… would make it way more immersive and make nvg actually useful!

There are modded maps that both have day and night. You're right on calling it laziness. Their latest update blog were all about skins. I just wish more devs would focus on real significant content for once.

Ladders are still considered, but they were more intended for the PvP mode back when that was a focus.

I like the idea of a PVP, however, I would prefer it be like SWAT 4 with one uniform style of player for each side, with minor customizations. The ladder, drone stuff, who cares. The sniper part, I miss that a lot, but it had limitations that were frustrating in themselves. The inability to snipe a suspect you could see, for whatever reason, who knows. I would love a deployable snipe that you could station at various points of the map, that would be cool. The deployment cinematic at the beginning of each scenario would add some real immersion I think as well. Thanks for your feedback and the video...

Hotel XXL map was one of the best, hope to see it again soon.

Void right now: "Ah, some -idiot- will mod it in for free, why bother. YAAAAWN"

one thing u missed is a haligan bar its a tacticool crowbar they showcased an animation and model after one upfate havent heard of it since

Im sad about the sniper feature getting taken out that is a cool concept and idea

They need to add fast walk and prone animation

I think PvP would just kill the whole point of the game

man, ladders would be so fucking sick

The ladder was available in the game in either alpha or beta. I also remember a battering ram.

It would be really cool to have rappelling ropes like in Zero Hour.

If I remember correctly, I think some of the earliest trailers showed dynamically adjusting your stance height (might be shown at 3:35), and gradually opening doors like Rainbow Six 3

I'm disappointed regarding the lighting as to me that takes away tactical options but I can also understand why the decision has been made. I might be in the minority but I'm glad to hear that the PvP side has been pushed onto the backburner for whenever they get to it as opposed to prioritising it. Given the most recent updates I can recall relate to personalising your team member as opposed to anything resembling meaningful content or features I'm becoming somewhat apathetic towards RoN at this point. Team personalisation is a welcome and potentially impactful feature but it feels like something that should be lower on the list given the slew of missing features, equipment and content. I can't help but feel as though the overall development progress for Ready or Not has been very slow to the point where it seems as though many people are reliant upon the excellent work being done by the modding community to fill the void between updates (the patrol officer mod looks like it could make a superb full feature adding a new perspective/dynamic to the game). Perhaps there is a reason for the slow progress but ultimately I end up comparing it to Zero Hour. Perhaps it's just in my mind but Zero Hour seems to have made significantly more progress over a much shorter period of time, with future updates and features still to come.

What happened to that side stepping animation suspects used to do. I always thought it was on of the most realistic ones you would expect gang members to do

I understand the desire for PVP but I really wouldn’t want a PVP mode. I have enough fun playing even vanilla maps with a full squad and no two runs are ever the same. If I want a hyper-competitive game, I’ll go to R6. This game’s focus on being the good guy will be undermined by enabling players to kill cops and being rewarded for it.

They should go back to the lighting, as sometimes the current lights fk up the shields pretty bad.

What i see and what i get feels like a scam

That game website looks super sus. Farcry 7, Outer worlds 2, COD slipstream ? How many viruses are in there lol.

I hope 1.0 isn't going to be a glorified patch, but instead be a feature-complete update for RoN. I get a bit annoyed when inde devs do a full retail / 1.0 release and their game is in no better shape or worse than the early access build.

PVP? Mate I'm still waiting for that campaign mode, if it doesn't get scrapped like it happened with Ins Sandstorm.

Big thumbs up for the Deus Ex: MD - TF29 Soundtrack in the background :)

When do we have a sensitivity slider for aim down sight? Please we are a lot to ask this

9 bangers in basegame would be nice, not just modded

We are at a point in time where it's not the tech limitations holding the industry back, it's the developers themselves.

im okay if they dont add any of these but it would make the game more realistic or whatever but all i want is the swat ai to be reworked

Im still upset that they removed sprint. What kind of SWAT officer refuses to get to cover quickly when under fire???

I just want the haligan bar to come back, its already animated idk why they wont add it

They removed masks, didn't they? I want back the balaclavas from the trailer.

Fuck the ladder… gimme a damn sniper mission 😢

I am getting a wiff of a smell of vaporware..

coulda sworn the breakers used to be interactable in the past, could just be my memory mixing up RoN with Zero Hour :/

I'm a developer myself, though not in the video game industry. Still, I feel somewhat deceived by the Ready or Not team because they showcased the ability to turn off lights to use night vision, yet when they started developing the lighting logic, they didn't consider it at all.

I just wish they kept the IFF for red/blue/gold

Is the gameplay in the background an upcoming update?

Hmm the movement is so sluggish, and feels run of the mill ... some simple mechanics that could give a heap of CQB : when "slicing" a room from the outside your concealed from guys inside untill your 90° (directly face the room), youd likley pop / snap to beat a potential threat, also to clear the corner youd quickly pop, we have a crap lean + free lean whilst simultaneously moving . A subtle simple thing but gives realistic and Tactical advantages. Also perhaps some hotkeys we can set so we can snap to that direction, left, right,rear face etc in terms of bailing out / reacting under fire . Should the needed AI work be done, no point having classy enemy behaviour if you cant respond effectively. .

Honestly given the devs use AI art in the game, half of these features probs just got dropped out of laziness lmao

"engine limitations" sounds like a hard cop out tbh

Wait, PVP was cancelled? What the hell? That was half the reason I bought in early access!

Features present in a trailer but dropped later are not simply "unfortunate" it's called false advertising :).

I am extremely disappointed with Void Interactive. Myself and many others purchased RoN on the promise of tactical ladders. We were lied to and basically robbed. I have been banned from the RoN subreddit and have no other forum to voice my grievance. Myself, and the ladder community as a whole, need an answer from VOID. Shameful.

Absolutely maddenning reading comments from ignorant people about how Void are "lazy" or whatever because they cut X or Y, or didn't add Z. The sheer amount of work that went into designing and making this game is incomprehensible. It's not above critique at all, but how quickly people jump to assuming the developers just don't care is kinda insulting. It's always shifting goal posts too, like it's never enough. RON is kinda an incredible game when you look at it but people always have to move the posts back and claim it's half-baked because you can't turn off individual room lights or whatever.

Zero hour (who have a way lower budget) had outward swinging doors and the ability to turn the power off, don't really see why RON can't (unless it has somehthing to do with the game engine or something). Even SWAT 4 First Reponders could make swinging doors and that was a mod.

Mission creator?

Zero hour is ran on the unity engine..RON on Ue4.. Zero hour has the ability to turn off the power..They are bullshitting they just dont want to redo all of the levels..

Do you have an update on the patrol officer mod ?

Theres a lot they need to add to the game. I dislike how NVGs are almost worthless and how you cant shoot out lights.. or turn them off. (Since thats pretty real) Wish there were spawn options for infiltration. More guns and certainly more attachments.

Dead game. Snail pace development. But at least we get biweekly dev blogs about which type of shoes the art team is working on as they update the game once or twice a year.

Zero hour is like a competitor to ready or not, and if you ignore its physics and textures, it is better than RoN in terms of content. it has K9 dogs, you can kill the lights since pre-release, PVP, and you can actually see something when customizing

Ready or Not is starting to look like a big disappointment

The best reason for not being able to turn off the power (other than the stated reason which is enough) is that it would lead to exploitable gameplay and would lead to the mission being played the same way every time. e.g. "Hello? Who goes there? Dimitri?? Are you messing with me again?" "Fucking drug addicts, they forgot to pay the power bill again. UGGHH I'll go check it out." and if suspects indeed would suffer an accuracy nerf from being in darkness, then there would never be a reason NOT to turn the power off, so it might as well just start being off anyway since every player would opt for the most optimal mission parameters.

and I'm begging you to the devolopers Please The picartini rail are have four sides of it would you please make it useful !! and I wish I could play in a patrol police uniform as well

Janky zero hour has power cut off and makes a great gameplay mechanic. This game needs an update, its coming up to 9 months wiith nothing at the minute

This feels like what happened to rainbow six siege

It seems like these devs do a lot of talking.

Ohh nooo i was waiting for the lighting thing !!😖

Omg calico gun HI!!

I just want to know why the game is fucking 92 gigs? Re4 remake was only like 45

Lost all hope for this game. The really grabbed the bag and ran.

0:13 Far cry 7??? I know for a 100% fact that isn't released nor has it been announced so I'm guessing that's a scam

This is exactly the reason I don't follow videos on games they show off before releasing. Half of the shit portrayed, including graphics, are never up to the anticipation since they always downgrade games before release. It's always an unrealistic "what could be" and never the realistic "what it is going to be."

I feel like they should add a riot level. We have tear gas launchers and most people probably barley use them

So basically all these games are a waste of money since they are not willing to do what is necessary to maximize the game.

The lighting just sounds like laziness to me

So basically the devs dont care is their excuse for lack of content lol

pre 1.0 was much better.

a swat game where they can't turn the lights out, it just sums up the lazy attitude. You just need to check out the pick lock animation for laziness, defusing a bomb is you standing there while the pliers float about in the air.

hi

Yeah like old build was better than this poo which we got now, really, swat stories are now better, atleast u can control sniper lol.

I just want the M16 (I like the retro gear)

K9

pvp lol..

The game needs PVP and ranking system to get continuous players for years. This game has potential to became realistic R6 Siege.

PvP is not for this game. It can't handle a 5 player network. And the OG SWAT community doesn't care about PvP. You want PvP, go play R6S.

Embarassing. Even zero hour got more content than this.

I honestly would not play this game for the pvp, as there's many more shooter games famous for the pvp. What would be cool is instead a custom map/mission creator tool, where players can create new missions for others to face.

I think the real reason the devs do not want to have a light box or something similar to toggle the lights in a building is that it would require the AI to actually be affected by how dark an area is 🤯🤯🤯. These devs are being lazy and need to follow their promises. Their trailers made big promises, and people pre-ordered their game because of those promises.

I make my own pvp.

Ready or not devs are my least respected people. They hyped me up and then absolutely disappointed me. The only game I've ever pre ordered and I'm still not enjoying it. **** Void.

ah yes pvp, pretty sure it'll be rainbow six again

Fix those stupit AI FRIST then go for pvp. Police going lethal cuz they have to. Why police sim game want to make pvp this is not military game bruh. Why update make game even worse. Stop it. STOP IT.

EXCACLY WHAT DID HAPPEN TO THESE FEATURES THEY RUG PULLED THIER FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"due to engine limitations" Bitch i could go on roblox rn and make a Raytracing lamp with light switch in a heartbeat. But these professional game devs are struggling with simple things like that?

You point all this out but still go on to shill them once 1.0 releases, Invictus.
