I'm not really into these games, but the second i saw your video on youtube i was like... What the f.. thats AWESOME! how isn't that been thought of before! One feature i'd like to see if humans/npcs are escape into buildings too often the tripods respond but heat beaming some buildings to flush them into the open, they might not burn down the entire neighbourhood but picking houses at random making less cover as time goes on, combined with when they stomp on the other houses.
That's exactly how I felt when I first found the game - _"How has no one ever made this??"_ I like your idea, daw! It would be really cool for the tripods to become smarter like that. Like if they send a probe in and it sees a lot of people in the building, it starts destroying the building instead of just harvesting. Will be very cool to see when destruction is implemented.
@@voidboi0 hopefully the destruction is random so each time you play different houses might be burnt or crushed, if your crashing plane idea comes in i kind of hope it has a random crash location and it can crash into buildings maybe wiping out loot instead of creating it, maybe a plane crash in town or in a house filled street also leads to the houses catching fire and burning down. Would love to see basements live through fires so on later days we can come back to somewhere to hide even if half the town is burnt down or crushed. Also if Wildlife is going to be dangerous perhaps more food rich locations in the woods, cabins and hunting lodges with more food, for the danger of less cover to hide in, and dangerous animals you need to fight off but tripod actions would have to counter this by traveling into the woods at random or just a happy happy safe zone might be created, perhaps npcs flee this direction and draw the attention of tripods, so if you get there fast in a play through you might be able to stock up.. if you spawn too far.. tough luck.
@@dawfydd Oh yes, I love the chaos! I really do hope the planes get added. Would be crazy to see it all happening in a city, or seeing a plane destroy a building you were going to take cover in. All good thoughts.
@@voidboi0 One more crazy idea might be, If groups of AI had programming so they'd form gangs or something of the like, around different locations of the map, and depending on where the tripods attack it would kill off a bunch of those AI. So the npcs might bunch together head for the woods in force with leftover police weapons from the city, but if walkers wipe out too many they wont. So perhaps another group head to steal cars and leave, which might get them killed sometimes and reduce the number of cars on the map. Another group could become cannibals and hunt the player, gang of teenagers etc.. Randomized factions who could be added every so often changing the behavior of the npcs on later days i think would be one of the final touches to make the world feel alive.
@@dawfydd Making of The War of The Worlds Game - Documentary (2022) kzhead.info/sun/fLyFf7aAkXaQjJs/bejne.html In this video I cover all kinds of topics like this. There will be hostile groups that form. A crowd might also try to take a car from you. It's funny you mention cannibals cause I had that idea too lol.
A feature that I’m hoping he’ll add is that the red weed is able to block doors and the player will have to use an axe or just simply use their hands to tear it
Yooo yes. I like this! Also can't wait to see that kind of ax mechanism added.
@@voidboi0 the axe makes it easier but louder and the hands make it quieter. How that?
@@markr3730 ooh great idea
Or you can kick the door open
This is fantastic. It would be extremely difficult to avoid a probe if red weed is hindering your movement. It may even seal shut cupboards and loot cases, or simply spoil any food you're looking for.
In the beginning it would be really cool to see falling planes. You could later loot them for supplies
Absolutely something I'd love to see in game!
That's a cool idea! Maybe if the animation is too complicated to create, you could have crash sites that spawn randomly as you sleep or something
the one thing i feel like the should add is not just destruction of buildings. but whenever the tripods foot "grazes" past a building, that instead of phasing through or whatever the already do, it destroys that part of the building because we've seen them do that in the movie as well.
Yeah it would be very immersive to have such dynamic destruction.
this game is sick af. Need more NPC running and people surviving the city or hiding inside houses and getting caught by aliens
110% agree with this. The areas should be appropriately populated, especially in the city. Without that its gonna feel pretty empty and dead real quick.
This could add a special element that would complete the game as a horror game. Imagine coming across a group of npcs in a house who have been discovered by a probe, then watching them dissipate in all directions as the tripod picks them off with its tentacles. Just like a child digging up an ants nest
2:49 A suggestion I was thinking about while watching this part is to have leaves falling off from the trees into the streets and flying towards the lightning storm, showing the wind effects along with the cool sound, would add a more scary ambience to the arrival of the aliens.
100% agree! I had mentioned something like that in my documentary. Seeing more debris flying towards the storm would really communicate that wind and ominous feeling more.
I swear they’ve done that since
0:04 that looks like wsd
5:09 I believe the explosion is supposed to be from the car that fell into the sinkhole. In the movie the tripod yeeted it back out but in Raf's game I'm guessing it got crushed and the explosion was from the fuel combusting. It is a little off though, could use some touching up but it's nothing major imo.
Maybe the car in the game could also be yeeted as we did see in that gameplay trailer from 8 months ago, cars would fly around from the destruction. doesn't have to be added, not everything has to be the exact same, but it is possible.
Ah I could see that being the case. I would also like to see car be yeeted. But someone else did say they think it's to simulate gas lines being broken.
I would love to see physics applied to the cars and other objects near the heatray blasts! Maybe even players if you're too close, but not close enough to die..?
@@frozone-yeah Also gas line or propane tank. Would be awesome to see a jet of flame from a busted natural gas line!!!
@@ZombieGrandpa Oh yes absolutely, that would be a sight to see, and maybe some buildings being on fire and smoldering once Raf adds in dynamic destruction. That would be such a sight to witness while you see a group of tripods going off in the distance and leaving behind destruction in their wake.
I hate wishing my life away, but come on 2023. Void I was singing your praises on MathChief Channel on you coverage of the game and your documentary on its making to date. I am going to hate having one of those probes searching a house for me, I can't wait.
Wilder! Lol. Appreciate you! You're the best. I'm very honored. I'm so glad people are enjoying the doc. This game is gonna so tense 🤘
The tripods and Probe is all coming together. I can’t wait to look forward to see the NPC, Animals, and Aliens AI get improved. I’m hoping and assuming that’s gonna be the next update.
It is! And I'm right there with you, would be great to see the world and NPC's become much more alive and advanced, now that the main enemy is functioning well.
Also he has a public Trello board if you want to take a look: trello.com/b/8AAJmcvj/war-of-the-worlds
Thanks for featuring my suggestion to the game Void! hopefully Raf adds a saul billboard somewhere in the map, afterall these aliens need to sue the earth governments for giving their species corona.
Haha, definitely! And 💯
I also think it would be nice to see a bunch of clothes hang on the trees after the tripods have been roaming for a while
Definitely 👌
9:44 sincerely at this part I was about to cry XD
Me too Brock, me too 😭👏
Aww haha, I am glad you really are looking forward to this game. 😁 Also hi there. I got emotional too almost and really excited.
@@voidboi0 yeah unu XD
The Uperpod horn was made by a guy named Colossus I think!! Wasnt me, full credit to the mandem
Gotcha! Send them my regards. And also confirm with me and I'll add them to the credits.
0:12 was literally my reaction to the notification about this video. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, Void!
Yooo thank you so much, Maverick ♥ Glad you're here!
the explosions "could be" the machines tearing up gas lines/mains and tearing up infrastructure, but...then it would be a constant flame. Idk ..my 2c.
Your 2c taken! Good thoughts, Dave. I agree that if that's the case, maybe it needs to be tweaked a little. Like a constant flame in the pit that eventually dies out.
Hah, imagine that, aliens are now pokemon, and they are DEFINITELY not weak to bears. But they certainly are at a type disadvantage to bacteria and viruses.
I imagine the would be a psychic type.
This game is becoming more and more terrifying and I LOVE IT! War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise is the best WOTW I have ever watched in my entire life. I think I must've been 12 when I first saw it and i was terrified but a part of me loved the idea of the Huge 3 Legged machines killing people and the Alien coming down to search houses, now I'm coming up to being 22... its crazy to see a fully developed game coming out that we get to experience ourselves. Me personally, there needs to be more life involved in the game before the Attack begins, it feels very deserted before it all goes downhill. These ideas are as follows: - Mailmen delivering - People walking Dogs - Cyclists - Runners - People taking out trash - Garbage Trucks picking up trash from the residents - Not sure if this is already a thing in the game (I'm aware this isnt the WOTW Game channel but I feel i wanna put this here for you to personally read yourself, see what you think of these ideas) but depending on which year it is, there should be some people taking pictures of the events that occur such as the Storm, the Lightening Strikes, the location of where the lightening hits like in the Movie (maybe have some Officers there trying to disperse crowds) - Better animations for the civilians (make them seem terrified with their stance or posture - think of how GTA V is when an AI spots a dead person, they take a quick picture - wtf - and flee, changes their walk, jog, run and really makes them seem terrified. They go from a perfectly cheery person to someone who's scared) - A Helicopter or Two in the prologue just flying from one point to another to make the sky seem active. - Ambient Civilians (reading news papers while sat down, smoking, a small group of friends meeting up) These are just some ideas, they're small details that I personally think would improve the Prologue at least to make it more alive. Not exactly important and I don't know if any of these have been discussed or planned but it would be cool to see more life before the attacks. What would be even cooler and this is a different idea that imma place down right here: - A City DLC or an option to start in a City where the Machines attack (we dont see it happen in the Movie but the idea of those Machines going through a City, lasering Skylines, Apartments would be interesting to see.)
Those are great ideas! Like Void said, not sure how much more Raf can add before releasing the game, but I totally agree on this. If it’s something that would take too much time then it would be a great update down the road at least.
"it would be cool to see more life before the attacks" - I'm 100% with you on this. I love seeing NPCs bring areas of games to life and really immerse the player. That said, there's a lot of ideas here (cool ones) but would definitely be a lot to implement when you add them all up. Raf will likely improve some of these things where it seems pretty obvious there's a hole. But, as the prologue is only about 5-10% of the gameplay, it's likely mid to end game is where Raf will keep spending his time before the early access release next year. But I do hope some of the things you mentioned to make it in eventually!
Yup! Totally agree.
@@voidboi0 Raf may need a new Assistant ➡Eskim
@@Maximus1879- haha. Fr with the amount of features he gets suggested. He's handled it all pretty well.
"Pixel peeping" Well there's a new phrase I hope to be able to use from now on.
I learned it youtube myself haha 👍
I think that the tripods being able to hear your voice through your mic is cool, but I feel that it should be a feature that can be toggle off or a multiplayer one? I'm just thinking that it would be really difficult to play the game if you're playing in a loud environment, which it wouldn't be the games fault of course but I just think that having the option to disable it would be nice, obviously Raf should do what is best for the game so if it's a feature that can't be disabled is cool too, there's more important things that he has to focus on
Hey, Solaris! Yeah, I've heard him talk about that so there will be a toggle 👍 My b, I should have mentioned.
I never play with a mic anyways unless I am doing a review or a play through
two things i really wanna see power flashes when a tripod stomps on it and i really wanna see pipes breaking like gas pipes and water pipes just splat on the ground when they rise.
I like all these ideas
killing it! so happy with the progress the game, and you as a creator covering it have made. can't wait to continue on the journey with you guys!
Thank you my man. Glad you're here bro.
16:30 gave me a freakin heart attack WTF!!!! Horrific audio juismpcare XD
So wild! haha. You and me both.
@@voidboi0 17;04 when ur too hyped to physically react to the jumpscare XD
5:15 maybe there are some gas pipes under the surface and the tripod damaged it, so it starts to leak and maybe some sparks ignite it? Nice video tho! Subscribed
Welcome, Hamori! That makes sense, that's probably what's happening.
0:02 Cory!! 🤣🤣🤣
He’s the hype goat
Wonder if it'll possible to run over disembarked aliens with a vehicle lmao
It better be!
I would absolutely love to see a dock for transport ships (and have the ships actually work) then have the tripods emerge from the water and flip the ships over & grab anyone in the water. It was my favorite scene in the movie 😁
Yeah he's got the ferry scene in the game!
Excellent video man. Nice job on the editing and your thumbnails are some of the best I’ve seen. This game is looking good!
Thank you Pitt! Means a lot.
16:41 I think the sound of the Uber pod should change to how it sounds in the trailer when it rises from the water
They've been continuously changed. Also, they have to differ slightly for copyright.
@@voidboi0 oh yea, copyright! Well I’m sure the game will be sick either way
Thanks man, great update! Keep them coming.
You bet, Dan! Thanks :)
I love the sounds! That Uberpod horn got me 🤧 and the new looking tripods in the new vid like my face was just like 🥵
Sounds are bangin! The pods look even better in my latest video. They updated the engine.
7:57 that turned out really nice in game glad you liked it
Yeah that sound is perrrrfect! And all the Rweed of course.
Idk if anyone has said this already, but damn you got some nice editing!
Yooo thank you, Jkuiu! 😄😄 Means a lot.
The minute I saw the actual aliens in game I was like “Oh my god! No way! Oooooh they look so creepy n they’ll charge at you! Oh no… n that’s a great oh no!” Lol. I so can’t wait to see if any more updates will come about but oh man this game is looking really, really, really good n doing the film a great adaptation as a game. Tho… I’m sure if another update comes around it’s going towards the tripod feet being firmly placed on the ground n not floating when the “stomp” comes. But I really can’t wait for this game n the Uber pods look so menacing. If only they could’ve sounded their horn in the movie lol. Great video Void!
Yeah this is by far the best film adaptation out there!
Nice! And was the filmed before the shave
Thanks, Mr J! Yeah I still got my scruffy beard.
When I first saw this video of the update, I NEVER NOTICED THE TRIPOD BEHIND THE TREE AT 9:07
Haha. Gotta watch out for those sneaky boys!
@@voidboi0 But imagine this game in VR, would be totally scary
@@Jake-ym9vb fr!! I'd freak out.
Love the video man this game is gonna be great ! Nice editing btw with the camera stuff 👌
Thanks, Shadow! Gonna be a blast!
@@voidboi0 certainly is !
I have been waiting for this game my whole life..... My earliest memories are listening to Jeff Waynes War or the worlds..... it's amazing
Whoa. He is the chosen one! What awesome first memories 👌
Was about time man :D literally my first thought after watching it was void is goin to have blast with this awesome summary
You already knew! haha. This was such an *awesome* update. Weekend family visit delayed me. Thanks, Josef!
15:10 im now just realizing that's an alien walking around there
They were a little hard to see! Haha. Maybe they'll be able to sneak up on you easily in game too 😱
the flames could be a gas line blowing
Yeah it turns out that's what they were going for.
@@voidboi0 me is smort
Seeing as I dont usually follow games in progress of being made - man, it must be a hell of a time being a developer. Every comment has had some great advice. Every time you think you’re closing to completion folks come up with more brilliant ideas and additions. It makes me excited. Those fucking tripods and their foghorn have terrified me ever since I saw WOTW in theatres when I was 10 in 05. I love to know Im not alone in being terrified at a molecular level by these aliens lmfao.
Yeah project creep is real with stuff like this. There's just so much potential and excitement around it. The molecular agitation is definitely shared! haha
So Im not the only one who thought up of an blood rain concept for War of the Worlds adaptations .,.
Hahaha nice
i love war of the worlds 😭😭😭😭👌👌
Let's go, G!!
Alright the one thing we have to have in this game is a water scene where tripods come out of the water to attack you
That's in here!
I'm glad u still did it 😁
Ayy there he is. It was a cool thought! I'm glad you sent it in. And I also had family in this past weekend so it pushed the video back a little.
@@voidboi0 oh well no wonder there was a delay lol well I hope u have a great weekend and thanksgiving and hope to see u play this game its nicknamed the war of the worlds that never was kit already played it and he thought it was way better than that gray skies thing which was utter crap here it is graphics aren't all that but the gameplay is decent and the walkers look intimidating it should hold u down until Raf's actual game comes to market kzhead.info/sun/hauKlZSFaXaqrIk/bejne.html
man this guy needs more subs. GREAT CONTENT DUDE
Huge compliment, thank you Drift!
it will be amazing to play as the tripod!
Yeah the total destruction!
@@voidboi0 So there’s an Uber tripod. It would be cool if there were baby tripods, which were faster but had a weakness. An analogy would be the two legged walkers in star wars vs the big lumbering ATATs
My boi is back
Bringing the Void content straight to your eyeholes!
They have the aliens, now I’m scared.
It's for real now
Imagine: You're captured by the Uberpod, flailing in panic and loosing almost all your loot on the way to the cage. Other abducted survivors utter deluded murmers and a few screams knock you back to your senses as you realise how hopeless your situation has become. You have no weapons left, but there may be a belt of grenades amongst the belongings of the deceased, littered around the cage. You start the scramble to find some when the pod suddenly deploys a dedicated tentacle to select it's next skin sac of fuel. A stranger gets entangled by the legs and screams helplessly as they're pulled upside-down to certain death, but you have your wits about you, so you dive to their aid in an attempt to save them - they may be your only hope of survival if you, the 'troublemaker', are selected next. You pull them to safety but you're not out of danger yet. Thankfully you indeed find a belt with some grenades moments before the tentacle emerges and wastes no time wrapping itself around your feet. But you've already pulled the pins. The nameless survivor you saved immediately comes to your aid, gripping your entire arm as strong as a vice, however the tentacle pulls with much more power than before, as if smelling rebellion. You manage to stall long enough for more survivors to join the repent, until the entire population of the cage rises as one and, just as quickly, falls again when the tentacle finally relents. The pod erupts into fireballs on all sides, stumbling violently and blaring with alarms and unearthly screams as it succumbs to an array of mechanical failures. The cage throws you and it's occupants around inside it like a tumble dryer and gives one last sideways jolt, somewhat breaking the fall. You are generously gifted and thanked by your fellow escapees before a hatch opens on the belly of the almost upturned machine, revealing a single surviving, but heavily injured, Martian. The lone alien's fate is sealed by the angry, vengeful mob of humans who now surround it and begin to beat it to a pulp. Against all odds, you survived abduction. I only planned to comment a suggestion for a minigame in the cage but I got carried away haha if you made it this far thanks for reading:)
Bro wrote a tv series pilot
Yo I hope you will be playing this on the channel, I'm so excited for this
You bet, Bully Maguire! Can't wait.
whenever the tripods spray blood onto the ground and weeds grow, does that only happen in certain areas of the map or does is work throughout the whole map?
I believe it happens anywhere, if not it should.
I think the flame is to simulate a gas main exploding or bursting
Ah ok! I can see that. Thanks Vee.
@@voidboi0 no problem! This game is gonna be so awesome.
By any chance could you ask raf if he could add an endless survival mode to this game, so the aliens won't die after a week. Kinda like COD Zombies. Love your channel BTW
Hey, Jack! Great question. I believe you'll have control over such parameters in free roam. There also seems to be enough talk about this kind of thing in the community that it will likely be in there. And thank you! Glad you're here.
If buildings will become destructible, will they introduce the tripod's power attack from the movie that blows away massive structures?
I would like to see that! It would be really cool to see power scaling with their attacks. But I have a feeling the buildings will just react to the normal heatrays when hit.
I would s&*t my pants if a tripod saw me from far away and started wiping away buildings looking for me. Maybe for a Nightmare mode?
Great vid Void!! I love and agree with every suggestion you made. The others’ suggestions you’ve mentioned too! Ya I think having animals that can attack you and the aliens would be awesome, and be able to hunt and loot food from. Deer, rabbits, squirrels… And I can’t rmbr if they were already in and mentioned in past updates, cuz for a survival it would be kinda obvious, that we’d be able to also acquire weapons? Knives and guns and such, and the guns be able to attract the pods and aliens… Lol loved the MJ bit 😄
Ayy thank you Truth! Yeah we're gonna have guns, bats, should have knives, but I know we're gonna have bows too. And we'll have cooking/crafting for animals we hunt. Also noises like guns definitely attract the pods! 🕺😎🕺
@@voidboi0 cool cool, ya I figured we’d of course have ways to defend ourselves lol
I think it's only fair that wild animals themselves attract tripods with noises, such as growling at you or npcs, howls and cries when injured/killed.
Like a child on the morning of Christmas your facial expressions and reactions for this update video are wonderful. Mr Void, watching until the end I can't wait until you do your first livestream playing this and of course it's already on my wish-list so when the multiplayer version comes out, I will be playing "or running away from the Tripod incineration beams /heat rays" as fast as I can.
Tis the season! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it, Tim! Solid update for sure.
@@voidboi0 oh yea Happy Thanksgiving dude.
@@timjerrom7173 hey thanks! Same to you
First of all, rip the beautiful thick mustache, it will be missed, I did see that video. You still look good just like this game Void, still crisp and still smooth. Second of all, I was hoping you would make a reaction to this as I have enjoyed all of them, same with Kit and same with this other great channel called PittMan Gaming, he's been repping this game hard and showing off a lot too all fantastic work reacting to this gloriousness. Third of all, I did have a couple of suggestions that I have already mentioned on those other channels but wanted to know your thoughts on these ideas: One of those is lightning. While the lightning visuals and audio are really good, they could look even better, make them brighter with flashes of blue and white that emit in the surrounding area, especially at the point of origin similar to the heat rays and how they emit hues of blue from where the energy discharge emits from in a sense. There should also be more flashes of blue and some white in the storm clouds themselves to give that more ominous feeling that something is coming. Similar to how in the film the camera pans up and shows some flashes of blue and some white. It would be a nice little nod to the film as well when Ray goes to investigate and he says, "it's freezing" and we all know that blue is a pretty cool color. The audio I know will probably be tightened up to go more in sync with the bolts as they strike down visually. But I still think they look and sound good thus far. My next suggestion is to make the engine noise of the tripods warm up and have different tempos when the audio cycle loops for the engine sounds. Since the tripods go into stealth mode and either sneak around or probe a building or whatnot, when they start their engine up again it would make more sense for the sound to slowly build up to full power for the engine sounds, starting at a slower tempo first than building up to normal speed. If that makes sense. Just some thoughts I had but nevertheless keep up the great work Void, finally a bit of a break where you don't have to immediately upload another video where you just finished talking about a previous WOTW showcase. Haha, but I know you have fun either way.
Frozone! Always coming in with the good word. And ayy thank you 😉 Oh cool I'll have to check out PittMan. So firstly, I think yeah, the lighting should definitely be casting off flashes on surrounding surfaces. Also I really like the idea of lighting kinda rippling out through the storm clouds. With the "freezing" part, maybe we could see some breath come out from the character during this time and some shivering sounds. I mean the engines rev up already and I think it sounds good. I do think having offsets in any audio loops is a good idea to evade being stale though. Haha, yeah I was totally unprepared for this video to drop. Great fun! Thanks for the thought, Frozone! Keep em comin.
@@voidboi0 Thank you for your input, and going off of the engines revving up there is a scene in the movie where Ray gets spotted calling out for Rachel trying to search for her and you can hear the foot stomp from the tripod but there is no engine noise, then when the pod is looking at Ray and extends the tentacle out you can hear the engine going but it's a slower tempo than what you normally hear throughout the film, then when the tripod spots Rachel, you can then hear the engine going at the same speed as it was throughout the film and if you were to listen closely you could hear the engine gradually picking up speed going towards the full power. The best thing I can relate this to is a steam locomotive, where when it first starts up from quiet, it's a slow cycle of chuffing but as it picks up speed, so does the cycle of the chuffs. This is where I am getting at specifically. If it has already been added then great, but from what I heard in the past, the engine sounds were varied, rather than dynamic, meaning they were at different tempos of speed, rather than changing how fast the engine operates depending on the tripod's actions. Sorry if this is a little confusing for me to explain. Also, a side note about the TV broadcast, yes that is true that it is not possible to show off because of no power, but what about a radio broadcast, after all, that is what we would do in such a scenario being without power for any given reason of that scale. Which I really hope does not happen for any of us any time soon, because I want to play this game. Ray's watch did stop working though as well as the phones, so I don't know.
@@frozone-yeah Ahh ok. The clarity helped! So yeah I think there's a way what your saying could be implemented. I like the idea. If the radio fits in with the lore, than yeah I like that idea too. It may actually be something that's been talked about before but I can't recall.
what would be cool if you're in a house and a TRIPOD goes into sneak mode and stomps on the house so all sorts which makes it scary because you wouldn't know what happens
Omg yeah that would be a real crap your pants moments. A tripod foot suddenly crashing through your ceiling!
A feature I think would be really realistic, cool and tragic is loosing some loot if you're captured and put in a cage. Things will fall out of your pockets and your bag and luggage will be damaged if you're thrown around upside-down by a metal tentacle before being dropped into a metal cage. You really don't want to be caught by these things xd
That could be interesting, loosing loot upon abduction. Would definitely add to the stress of getting caught.
Indeed, I hope to see an effort to make abduction as dangerous as possible for the player. Perhaps an extremely difficult mini-game within the cage to determine whether you are harvested for fuel, killed by other desperate, captured npcs or whether you defy the odds and destroy the tripod. There's lots in the film to take inspiration from and I personally think something like that would be really cool
The Tripod Elien
👽👽 they be hoppin'
@@voidboi0 Elien the fuck
@@voidboi0 tripod the realistic
Basically the probes touching the door and the door just falling down dosnt make any sense it would be better if the probe hits into or slams into the door to like break it by some effort. Tripods also use shock waves to break doors or base ments like in the movie we saw.
Yeah it's a very simple animation. Hopefully it gets updated to break apart and at least.
Hey void, can you ask raf if he is going to add military convoys to the game I feel like it would be a good touch to add something like that
I have a whole military section in the doc I made: kzhead.info/sun/fLyFf7aAkXaQjJs/bejne.html But off the top of my head I believe he said he _might_ add them. I think they'd be cool too.
@@voidboi0 as sweet thanks!
i am so exited to see the cage
Yeah! That will be wild when he adds the tentacle.
Been looking forward to this one also I think the thinking behind the sinkhole explosion because it could be over a gas line or a long those line and maybe bec the movie has an explosion during this moment too but I agree it does feel a bit out of place
Yo Pupil! Yeah that makes sense. Maybe it could be tweaked a little.
Dog I live in Athens were the fairy scene was shot, my mom was an extra! You should hmu I’d give you a tour!!
Yo that would be sick! If I'm ever in Athens I'll take you up on that, Lorenzo. Maybe some day I'll be big enough I could afford to do a tour of all the scenes in the film. That's so cool. I was an extra myself in the show Mare of Easttown.

The explosion could actually happen in real life during a roadway sinkhole, because a gas pipeline could break and any sparks from the crumbling materials around the gas could ignite it like a fuel-air bomb.
Ah, that makes total sense! Really smart observation, -Walter- I mean, Space 👌
I guess it would actually make even more sense if there was a bit of a residual gas fire in the sinkhole as the tripod rises up. It might give some nice lighting if the invasion were able to start at night!
@@SpacefarerIndustries ooh nice thinking!
Imagine you see one of the Martians taking a huge poop

There’s gonna a sandbox mode where u can spawn how many tripods ull want and u can expand the days before the tripods gat sick and there’s a camera mode u can also use in sandbox mode and there’s a human vs aliens mode where it’s multiplayer and u can play as the aliens or the humans❤❤😊
All cool stuff!
For example, the part of the ring between the legs and the cabins does not move at all, but should
I hadn't noticed, but I'm sure they could always be improved. There's just so many more features that need attention or to be added still.
They should make a sequel to the 2005 movie someday with Tom Cruise and his kids again or with Robbie in the military and film it from a military perspective.
A military perspective would be interesting for sure.
Can you suggest to raf to add artillery guns that stuns the tripods and makes the shields flicker
He seems to want them to be unstoppable, so I'm not sure he'd bite on the stunning. but I have mentioned before, and would love to see the film-like flicker/ripple in the shields.
Suggest It to him and see how It goes???
@@voidboi0 what about traps so they get stuck or trip over
@@wintersun398 have you seen the movie? These things took down bridges.
I'm so excited OMG!!!😆
Me too, Coo!⚡️⚡️
Need bullet richocet when firing at shield down Tripod, Need explosion like missile get absord by the shield
Tripod is not the real named because there is symbol in harvester but i don't know how to translate it
Would be cool!
hey void boy do you think while your in the cage the tripod can probe a house that would be scary 0_0
That would be amazing! Imagine trying to warn people inside the house, or screaming for their help XD ...or being in the house and hearing another player in the cages lol.
Nice review and have a good day or night I don't know XD
Thank you, Chitan! Night for me here in the US.
The game has improved ngl i love it.
It definitely has! I feel like this was a big turning point.
I have a better idea. Like that one guy said “TV news” yes the TV network would go out but what about radios. Radio waves don’t get destroyed unless the tower is gone but lots of them are very far away and they are powerful. So if the TV goes down the radios won’t so if they ad radios they could have them be useable maybe.
Solid thought! Hopefully this realism is something Raf can implement. We'll see :)
@@voidboi0 also if u had a feeling I was Anyox then ur correct I have 4 accs on YT sorry abt the Ohio comment I realized this was posted 2 weeks ago when I commented and I honestly feel bad abt it. Sorry abt that
@@thunderstorm_band I was completely unaware. But I appreciate you coming forward and saying that. The internet is negative enough. No need to join the noise 👍
@@voidboi0 well said and I’m also in development of a custom Intro for u “not finished yet but close” and Also in the future I have a horror game planned to be made I won’t give the name since I don’t want ppl stealing the name. But it’s gonna be extremely hard to beat soooo yah! stay tuned for that
This was easily my favorite video, some of the shots actually gave me genuine wotw 2005 vibes that I used to get when was younger, can't wait to get noise complaints because of this game scaring me. edit: p.s youtube still not giving me notifications -_-
Dang KZhead! Maybe turn em off and back on again idk haha. That's awesome to hear. This update was so good! You won't be the only one screaming, Muto, lol
Im addicted to tripods
He got the bug 🐛
@@voidboi0 ur corret
And they were addicted to us no wonder they got sick 😒
I seriously cannot wait for this game!!! I have watched war of the worlds since I was little like for atleast 7 to 8 years or maybe 6/5 years but I'm hoping to see what the game is gonna look like when it's first released!!
Another true fan! Game is gonna be a banger Boogie.
@@voidboi0 yea!!! I have been watching war of the worlds for a quite awhile if you ask me!
Sup bro, love the vids on this soon to be masterpiece. I was wondering if the DEVs have stated any sort of price their game will be or given a rough estimate, thanks!
Yo thank you, Cammeii! The price is TBA according to their Discord faq. But my guess would be $10-20 range. We'll see.
@@voidboi0 awesome appreciate you man. Also If you can, could you mention to the DEVs [im aware their hands are tied with other things already but] if they could add more to the npcs particularly the military, give them jets, call-outs, charisma in a sense. I’m sure they’ll work their way to it but just to be sure because it all seems a little all over the place, they’re all split up and attacking one at a time in some cases, have them more organised. Just a suggestion.
@@cammeii they have jets.
the probe is the best part of the update. but amazing overall. can't wait!
Undoubtedly the best part!
I really wish I could afford to join the testing phase... But I am in between jobs- no rest for the wicked. Still, I want to make some suggestions. PLEASE forgive the text! I am a writer by nature and there is SOOOOOOOO much potential here. Just little side stories that add to the adventure. I would like to add to the discussion, so please bear with me. I know this is a lot of text and people generally hate to read, but I think you will find some worthwhile ideas here to pass on. ----------- Ok so I was a volunteer for a civilian response team in the Midwest. Everything from fire, biological, attack and weather related disasters saw us aiding the police and fire departments as trained helpers. So I hope that will carry some weight. The developers seem to want to make the game as real as possible, so I hope and pray my comments are useful. 1. What happened to the air raid sirens? Those were awesome and struck serious fear in the early versions! As to the reality of adding sirens, they still exist ALL OVER the US! Especially prevalent in the Midwest, they are used for tornado warnings and notifying the volunteer fire department to assemble at the station. They are still maintained by Civil Defense structure in the USA at the federal, state and local levels. (NORAD has a way to trigger a nationwide alarm status as part of its warning functions.) PLEASE BRING THEM BACK! ------------ Some additional roles for sirens- It would be awesome to hear a far off siren midgame that goes off mid game. Yet there are no stomping alien machines- because the tripod is in stealth mode. People mill around looking towards the direction of the siren, thinking the tripod is too far away to cause harm. Then suddenly everyone begins scurrying about like human cockroaches as the tripod crests the hill. "ZAP!" Or perhaps here come the tentacles... As an addition to the opening scene, sirens could be used to ramp up tension. Suddenly the power goes out and shortly after that the sirens start to wail. Now sirens mean "TAKE COVER!!!" in the Midwest- tornado has landed. Yet there is just this one swirling cloud- what's the big deal? Thinking the sirens are related to the power event, everyone wanders outside looking for smoke or fires. As the player approaches the cloud, the sound of sirens would ramp up the drama JUST before the first tripod emerges!!! And I guarantee that people stand and gawk at seriously dangerous things all the time- sirens won't make a difference to the uninformed. But the effect of sirens is to show that this is much bigger than your little town. How do the authorities know to issue a warning siren? Well who said the aliens have to zap in all at the same second? NORAD may have been watching an alien ship in orbit building up an energy charge. After the first EMP discharge, you know NORAD will start ringing the alarm! ---------- But what's powering the sirens? Government communications are hardened against EMP. Sirens are part of that infrastructure. They carry a reserve power system. It is the same for EMS broadcasting stations. Some towers are even hardened against nuclear blasts! Lastly, when a volunteer like me would hear sirens, we knew what to do. We would drive immediately to the fire department, pick up our gear, (including a county radio that let us talk with police, fire and medical,) and then go to the scene. Chief would then deploy us for traffic and crowd control, also SAR. We knew exactly what was going on due to our radios. (Looting one of these radios, might be a godsend. There is a common band where you can hear military operations even!!! And for truly long term disasters, we practiced with the Red Cross- which knew where all the food, water, clothing, medical & survival gear were stored. They had caches of batteries too. When we practiced, the Red Cross would pretend to move supplies from their supply caches to our field ops. We helped, so I know exactly where the stuff is in my county, lol. Listening in to the Red Cross is a pretty sneaky way to gain access to a wealth of supplies you did not store... 2. EMS Warnings. If there is no power, what good is EMS? PLENTY. You youngsters may never have heard of a transistor radio, but people still use them. If you have ever seen a PSA about disaster preparedness, they always talk about having a portable radio and batteries. Portable radios are generally too small to be affected by EMP. FURTHER, the National Weather Service broadcasts weather reports on a special frequency. The player should be able to loot one, just like a flashlight is lootable. When I was training to be a pilot, I was stationed at this small flight center. They had one of these little weather radios going 24\7 Pilots (& the local farmers at the diner) would listen to it while eating and get a localized weather report and forecast. These are special radios that can be turned on and off, but only get the one station. But their special function will turn them on if there is ANY EMS broadcast. The broadcast starts with this annoyingly shrill shriek tone- then the broadcast starts: "The National Weather Service in conjunction with federal, state and local authorities, has issued the following emergency broadcast..." Might be awesome to have play at a diner, or on the car radio should the player turn it on. (By the way, should you ever get nuked in real life and your car won't start, disconnect the battery. Wait 20 minutes or so for the computer to power down and the capacitors to drop charge- then bolt the battery cable on again. Depending upon distance to the nuke, somewhere between 20 to 80 % of cars will still start. Or buy a 1970's pre computer diesel- totally nuke proof.) How might one of these little radios be used in automatic mode? Imagine a probe is hunting you in that small town airport diner I trained in. The probe is just around the corner. But right before the probe turns and sees you, the shrill tone of the EMS radio on a shelf goes off "The National Weather Service in conjunction with federal, state and local authorities, has issued this emergency broadcast..." The probe whips around and rushes towards the radio. Fascinated at the voice of a human from a box, it marvels in distraction for a few moments. This allows you time to sneak past the probe- saving your life. ----------- Also, you might be able to loot one of these EMS radios or a regular transistor radio, or maybe ever a two-way radio from a fire truck, ambulance, police or military vehicle. VERY useful for finding where the authorities have stockpiled food, water and supplies. ---------- One of these automated EMS radios might backfire on you in the forest while hiding or go off while you are sleeping. (You forgot to turn off the automatic EMS broadcast feature.) The tripods hear the voice- and come a running. Just a few scenarios to add to the list of ideas. Sorry it took so much text. But how else do you transmit such an idea? (In the back, I hear a wisecracker say. "You use a radio!") Anyway, what do you all think? This game looks like a serious success to me. Perhaps we are meeting the next Sid Myer?
Holy term paper Batman. I appreciate your involvement, Jeff! You bring up some fun ideas that I'm sure would improve the game if there's time to add them. Raf is also in training to become a firefighter, so I'm sure you two might relate on some things.
One thing that does bother me is that most of the towns and cities are pre-made asssets which isn’t a massive deal but it does bother me slightly
I feel yeah there. Would be nice to have beautifully hand-crafted areas.
Love the vid
What's good, Mellie! Thank you
i dont think this is the first vid we see the aliens though
I think it is
Something me and a few closed testers debated about is how the tripods are powered. We came up with that they use fusion generators and during the storm that the tripod sucks up the power from the surrounding area to start up their fusion generators which would most likely fry transformers and power stations. As you can see further in the movie during the ferry scenes that the power is back on in most areas after repairs by surviving mechanics/engineers. It gives and explanation to how the power comes back and how it goes out in the first place, like it wasn't an EMP just the tripod needing the high burst of energy to start their engines.
The power wasn't on in area's because engineers somehow did repairs, the power was on because they were in an area where a EMP storm did not happen.
What's up DankStar! I really like this thread. This is a neat possibility. I also like the idea that if the power suddenly shuts down around you, it would be another ominous indicator that a tripod or storm is near you. Could lend itself to some interesting game dynamics. Perhaps you're thirsty and you're able to find a house with power still and get some water from the tap if you also have a container. Or it's night time and you're in a house and suddenly streetlamps and house lights start going out all over the place. Things like that. Perhaps there would be a way to combine this mentality with what @Dynestis said.
@@dynestis2875 Yeah this makes sense. Do EMPs cause permanent outage? Or can power come back? If power can come back than, refer to my previous comment for ideas.
Let’s hope that they don’t take the game down at the last second 💀
That would be such a 🔪💔😭 for the whole community
Спасибо за Обзор! Ждём выхода игры
You're welcome! Me too, Sky!
@@voidboi0 Thanks 🙏
There a black smoke from the original w.o.w book was the black smoke. The black smoke that covered or inhale the victims bleed out of everything and slowly die witch is scary. The o5 version doesn't have black smoke.
Oh snap that's intense!
Has it been confirmed that you can play as a tripod?
Yes! See the Game Modes section of my documentary about the game :) kzhead.info/sun/fLyFf7aAkXaQjJs/bejne.html
5:32 But wait arent the heat rays like 2x the temp of the sun Would that heat make a Thunder sound like lightning does due to the sharp increase of temp in a short time vaporising air molecues to steam rapidly and creating a loud explosion aka thunder If so i would like to hear a loud thunder then the heatray sound what the game already has
Hearing thunder every time would get very repetitive very fast. Don't think we even hear that sound in the movies either. Scientifically, sure it would make sense...
If I could make some suggestions. 1. Once the game is running well and is looking good I think if a building option was added that would be cool. If it was multiplayer you could join factions team up and go to war against the tripods and enemy factions. I would definitely add more npcs to the game and maybe have a few interactions like a store merchant that you can trade items with. I would also add in bandits and different hostile and non hostile npcs.
Hostile NPCs should be coming. 100% agree that there should be more NPCs populating the game. As far as traders and building mechanics, Raf doesn’t seem interested in anything being persistent. It seems the tripods just destroy everything in their wake. But I do like the thought!
@@voidboi0 if he plays his cards right this could be a very big game.
I definitely agree. But since he’s doing it all himself, I expect the bigger ideas to be far in the future, if at all. Plus he’s planning to become a firefighter. So once that happens, who knows what the support for the game will look like then.
@@voidboi0 my guess is if he is able to truly turn this into a game he might just hire some programmers and let them build it and maybe set the game up on a subscription base pay of 5 dollars a month maybe
Seems like it’s 90’s in the game cause there’s a bunch of 70’s 80’s 90’s cars
Good eyes, Cleef. I dig it.
We should be able to destroy the probe with an axe, like Tom Cruise did.
I agree with you. Hope to see it implemented!
I got to play this game
What did you think
war of the worlds is my fav
Maybe to see the game run on unreal engine 5 I'm not to sure how upgrading graphics works but some graphical updates will make it feel nice and even houses flooding a bit when pipes break due to the machines stepping on it
Yeah this definitely seems like a game thay should be made in Unreal. Hopefully graphics will improve quite a bit before release.
