The graphics look 15 years old! Why?
@@GMT439 maybe because the game was being developed by one guy who recruited 4 people? also its a survival game, that genre dont usually have the best graphics anyway.
100% Xbox one version should be cancelled they should only release a series X version because y'all not gonna sell shit on that system just a waste of resources.
@@GMT439The game is in pre-alpha still so theres alot of things that need to be worked on, nothing is final for the game yet and this video was made two months ago
10:27 Song name, please?
I never thought that my favorite sci-fi horror movie that was made about 18 years ago would become a survival video game. When I saw the 2005 version of the tripod, I instantly fell in love with it. I later got a Pegasus Hobbies model kit of the exact same tripod as a graduation gift and still love it and the movie to this day. I can’t wait to see this game’s release! Thank you developers and keep up the great work.
It was made more than 18 years ago. You're referring to the Tom Cruise version, of course, but the 1953 version was astounding for its time.
You might enjoy playing as Scrin in Global Conquest mode in C&C3: Kane's Wrath :)
It's much more older than the Tom Cruise adaptation.
@@victuz No one's saying it isnt.
This would be a very good battle royal game. For game developers, the more the concept relate to the world, the better the battle royal. This would do it.
Always thought the tripods looked like the Aliens themselves. If man built it, it would look like a huge human.
So, like what we imagine mechs would look like.
Actually they are. The canonical model of the aliens controlling the tripods look pretty similar to the tripods themselves, even down to the head shape.
it is. their is only one alien pilot aboard any one tripod as well. They mimic the movement because in what we would call the cockpit is a alien pilot in a membrane that copies his physical movements and patterns them to the tripod he is operating. Much like a VR interface except instead of handheld controls and a face visor its a full body bio-membrane that envolops the body completely. There is some amount of crews quarters most likely just cryo-pods, and the rest of the machine functions to process human prisoners and blood, and operate the weapons and locomotion of the machine.
@@Canadian_Hospitality Basically it's their own mobile suit.
The human equivalent of a tripod would be the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Absolutely terrifying.
54:56 I don't want to hear the engine or thumps in the distance. If I die from a heart attack from that laser and that deep horn coming out of nowhere, then you know this game is a masterpiece.
The worst part is that, that's the Uber (commander in my eyes) tripod
@@J-dogd with the VIP cages in the back.
That happens. They will turn their engines down sometimes and all you'll hear is a thudding sound as they step. Hard to tell which direction. Then you hear the horn, you turn. It's *right* there and it's coming at you. Fcking terrifying.
@@Aedrion- Hell yeah. What I want is to hear nothing first. Completely dark. Not a sound. Then, a split second of a flash and then a laser coming right the hell out of nowhere and then hearing it’s loud ass horn and knowing that the tripod is closer the whole time is what I want to hear first. Now that’s how you do horror.
Personally I like the dread of hearing the engines but not knowing the direction it's coming from, yet its coming. It's like hearing the reaper leviathan roar knowing it now knows where you are
The scenes at night are particularly terrifying... well done on that lighting model.
Not him who made
5:10 this part is very terrifying, you don't know you are heading to the alien of alien coming for you
There needs to be more chaos . People frantically running around, cars speeding out of town, armed citizens trying to fight back . This seems too empty
That's probably what happens at the start, when the tripods first appear. As things go on things get less...populated.
Cars got emp
Cars were exposed to emp during the lightning storm, in almost every iteration of the story, most electrical and electronics were fried at the very start of the invasion, even watch batteries were sapped of power. So cars is a no go save for a few souls who can quickly McGuyver them into working order and most gun owners would probably have gathered as days went on to form militias and been systemically wiped out or even conscripted if not outright shot by military upon discovery.
No everyone tries to wait it out. Remember the tripods are looking for them. So in most scenes everyone is hiding. But they should add more people i aggree. Tho it is still in pre-alpha..
This movie was arguably one of the best alien movies ive ever seen. Maybe behind independence day but thats about it. Love the design of the tripods or "harvesters" the sound of it moving and the horn. Such an incredible overall design and thats a big part of what makes alien movies so great imo.
Same! To this day the movie still makes me feel incredibly unsettled. You should check out Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds rock opera. It’s another really great interpretation of a classic story. Very 70’s though!
@@icantdoabackflip4029 I've never been one for older movies but I'll look into it.
You should check out James Cameron's "Alien" if you haven't, as well as the sequel. Two of my favorite movies of all time.
@@yeahyeah9485 James Cameron did NOT have ANYTHING to do with Alien 1979 or any other Alien film other than Aliens 1986.
Who would win. A warlord Titan from 40K or a tripod? Both got loud af war horns and both are meant to be killing machines. Both are shielded.
The sound of these things is creepy and terrifying
Amazing! I’m speechless. Constructive criticism. The scene where you’re zapped to death on day 2; the birds seem to like being on the tripod. However, lore is the birds hate the magnetic shield. They fly away in every scene but the end. That’s why at the end of the movie, when the tripod operators are dead, Tom Cruise sees the birds on the tripod and says, “no shield!” Maybe delay the timing at which birds are attracted to the tripods. Thank you for reading and thanks for all your hard work 👍🏻
Sound design is scary AF. The sound of the tripods is perfect. I hope they also manage to slot in an "uuullllllaaaaa" and some easter eggs from jeff waynes the war of the world musical version which is seared into my mind.
the sound they make still gives me chills. i love watching these demos just for that :)
They still need to polish it in the game quite a bit. It’s not identical, but I get they can’t use the film version due to copyright…
Terrifying sounds. Imagine being hunted by these things.
I randomly got this as a recommendation… "War of the Worlds" terrified me, I watched this movie back when I was a kid and it traumatized me, I was seriously afraid of an extraterrestre invasion with such a technology that our humanity couldn't rivalise, and so we would all be doomed. Typically, the mechanical sounds of those Tripod is what marked me the most, they are stressful and you absolutely don't want to hear that IRL. I think that if we ask me the best horror movie I've ever seen, even though he is first of all a SF movie, I would certainly respond this, then "I am a Legend". :)
I am legend, not I am a legend.
@@drekin223 Well, in France the title is basically "Je suis UNE Légende" ("une" standing for "a") so it's my bad.
Errr its a famous novel
In the 2005 universe we know that suicide bombers would be an option to defeat harvesting tripods, but I wonder if baiting them to a minefield would have been an effective workaround for their shield. 🤷🏻♂️ The shield itself seems a fascinating curiosity because it almost seems intelligent in what it regards as permissive and non permissive.
Typically shields in science fiction tend to repel high velocity attacks whereas walking through it would be fine. Every single shield equipped vehicle or alien or supersoldier I've seen in scifi also came equipped with a radar system that I wouldn't be surprised if it could detect high velocity projectiles and bring shields up in time to block them.
I love how they used as much as they could from the movie in terms of sounds and effects for the game
Imagine this in Unreal engine 5.2 with the procedural level generation environment already released. :) Imagine this with a hud for the alien ship where the player has few types of night vision and as an alien inside the ship you manage resources for your ship identical to the movie. Yes this game deserves love. It's getting way too good to be true. It's an outstanding take of playing as the villain. Both factions needs some work. The military should be a mandatory faction in the game. This has a lot of potential.
lasers through fog would be amazing
Imagine this on a server with 100 people....
@@nikolsman244 Imagine the lag.
is it made within unreal engine? if yes, bravo, it will be crazy good!
4:00 - 7:00 - I feel exactly the same anxiety as when watching the Spielberg film... Great job!
Looks and sounds great. Presumably, the gameplay is to find enough food, water and shelter while avoiding the machines to survive until (spoiler) the Martians die of a cold virus? Or is there the opportunity to link up with other humans and actually attack the machines? Nice animation on the tripods walking. At the beginning of this demo we see them walking in front of electric pylons. I wonder if they interact with the pylons/wires and bring the elecrricity down in that area? It would be superb if that was the case. Great to see HG Wells' brilliant late 19th century novel made flesh as a survival game.
You can kill and steal stuff from said humans
I read War of the Worlds as a kid and it gave me nightmares, and I've loved it ever since! Can't wait to play this.
You know what would be great? More humans running around and trying to survive the alien onslaught.
creepy thought
Right? Streets are so empty. Makes a certain type of sense but where's the looting and militias and military convoys and scared randos?
they need to add a full moon system so you can go around at night without a flashlight, like with light coming from windows and what not if your inside
Honestly can't believe they made a game on one of my favourite movies!
The tentacle probe is so scary and unsettling and the lightning strikes are more scary
We need more open world survival horror games. Like a Terminator one,falling skys,red dawn, the list would be endless. But glad we got war of the worlds. Looks awesome
Red dawn lol that shit would be awesome
@@tombrady4217 yes it would be. Make it kinda like far cry but better.
Duuuuuuuude yes 1000000%
eh we've already seen tons of human military stuff, i want more big incomprehensible stuff
@@circleinforthecube5170the soviets being able to win at all is pretty incomprehensible lmao
16:47 Great reference to the 2005 movie
Very excited for this game to release. The premise/foundation of this game is (to my knowledge) completely unexplored. We need more alien invasion/post apocalypse alien invasion games. Zombie games just continue to get churned out, but I think some alien invasion games, especially in this vein of survival, would breathe some much needed new life into the survival/open world survival genre.
yeah, aliens are a lot scarier and require more creativity
Man I think we all can agree the Horn sound the Tripods make is terrifying and creepy! I loved it in the 2008 movie and it fits perfect here!
The sounds brought me back to the movies especially the reboot love how they came to earth
This movie was the shit as a kid I’m dam happy to see this masterpiece come to fruition!
i really love the war of the worlds for decades! . ive been dying for someone to make a game just like this! i will purchase it when i get a new pc
I hope this will come to consoles too
They already said it will
@@Kyle_Da_Frog yea forgot which video it was but I remember it saying it will come out for consoles as well.
Cuando saldra este juego para consolas ???
This is fantastic! Was a kid when I saw the movie and it’s been an obsession since, no sci-fi movie since has been able to create the same type of suspense and realism! Spielberg was ahead of his time when making this movie ( the CGI beats anything I’ve seen to date ) The fact that the developers have created this game is overwhelming I have one question that someone might be able to answer ( what actually happens if the prove was to find you ? ) the Martians only ever came out of the house was empty so I’ve always been curious? Also the pov when playing as a tripod could be improved, maybe some weird filter that gives an idea of what the alien pilots see ?? Overall, very impressive
14:43 when that siren starts up and the tripod is revealed from behind a tree. That's a holy shit moment.
Time to rate! Graphic:10/10 Gameplay (a bit hard) 10/9 Story 10/10 Npc engine (not enough npc, in fact this doents make the game worser) 10/7.9 Enemies 10/10 Surviving engine 10/10 Bonus for: -giving a little headstart time -playable as tripod -easily makes the light horror theme -the cameras are the cherry on the top -military attacks are really good -the aliens are kinda hot Yes...this is the perfect, most likeable, BEST EVER tripod game
Don’t forget plans to make multiplayer!
I'm sorry hot??? Also I think the probes movement could be smoother, cause having it using procedural ai and physics is good. But it seems a little janky at times and does not look at smooth as the movements from the movie, now I know nothing about how this works but maybe having a mix of the three (animations, physics and procedural ai) would help smooth put come of the jumpiness of the model. Other than that and some of the points you brought (the npc thing, I agree there needs to be more for the first bit anyways, some more violent people who try to rob you, the military etc.) up I think this game will be great!
The “days survive” aspect is cool, signifying that you aren’t expected to survive
I am seriously looking forward to this game!
Is there going to be a Tom Cruise DLC? I'm sure he has great running speed, stealth and carrying a child abilities
As soon as I see this released. I'm buying it NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Will this get a multiplayer? Dicking around with these monsters actively searching for you would be hilarious
Yep it's going to have multiplayer
I like the multiple lightning strikes on one location in the background, showing that more tripods are going to rise. Basically this adaptation's version of one martian cylinder falling every 24 hours in the book.
Dope. Gives me the same megalophobia that the movie did. Terrifying
I'm already so excited and can't wait to play it myself, hopefully the game is as good as the sounds of the Tripods make it sound, I already know that I'm going to pee my trousers massively when the tripods come near me. The Movie was by far the best science fiction movie i ever saw!
A true masterpiece in the making. Much like the movie itself.
It's not even close to the movie. Let's take out the probes.. is it still similar?.. it lacks literally everything the movie had, especially the red skyline, those bloody-roots, everything.
@@MrGiHuntit's almost like this is a game that's currently being worked on by a very small number of people.
@@LastRedStar Let's be honest to ourselves, games in 99.99% of the cases won't improve anything graphically.
Never been this hyped for a game to release since Starfield!
hyped for starfield?
@@Nitrox_909I agree look even iam A space buff as will as a anime buff and even I wasn’t as hyped for Starfeld and seeing what happened after release YUP I was right to not be hyped lol But This WOTW game yeah this I cannot wait for finally a WOTW game closely 1 on 1 with 2005 WOTW experience
I remember watching « War of the Worlds » in theaters when I was 14, soon after I read the book. Spielberg was a legend to me, I’d seen on TV « Jaws » and « Close Encounters of the Third Kind ». Strangely, I don’t remember the horn sounds until today! I don’t know what went through my mind 😣
I absolutely love the entire WOTW series and im excited for the release of this one
there's only like one movie wdym
@@aegontargaryensixthofhisname wtf do you mean only one movie??? THERES A WHOLE ASS TRILOGY ON WOTW THERES EVEN OLD MOVIES ABOUT IT??? DID THE 2005 REALLY GET THAT FAMOUS IT MADE PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THE OTHERS??
@@Flame-istic-usern really? no way
@@aegontargaryensixthofhisnamedamn Americans taking other countries literature and re branding it. Your living proof it works. The book war of the worlds was written by George Orwell in Victorian times. It's set in Britain.
@@aegontargaryensixthofhisname yea, there was one movie from 1953 which was really popular at the time, although the machines weren't tripods because of the limitations at the time, it had its own TV sequel in 1988, there were 2 Direct-To-DVD adaptations, the decent one made by The Asylum and the really dogshit one from Pendragon Pictures FOX and BBC had their own TV Adaptations in 2019, but those 2 had serious flaws
Damn!!! 10000% buying this when it comes out
Close to the terrifying level of the Reapers, holy shit
Would love to play this in VR
Yea if I play it I would be have an heart attcak
Brooo, imagine hiding from the probe in VR, that would be anxiety's biggest enemy
Awesome. Imagine have night vision goggles that would been great.
need to add in random gunfire and rockets when the siren goes off, more in the moment vibe.
For such an advanced species, you’d think they’d have anticipated microbial infection as a possibility 😂
They were desperate to leave Mars, a gamble on species survival
It's hubris. They thought it would be such a cake-walk they didn't even consider the possibility. That's my interpretation anyway.
To them disease was something they had wiped out thousands of years ago and they arrogantly assumed that humanity did as well. It's honestly pretty believable considering the obvious mistakes and poorly thought-out decisions humanity makes on a regular basis.
Yeah, the alien species had got rid off all diseases and viruses so so so long ago that they basically forgot about them. So when they came to earth they weren’t sure that diseases even existed here.
I know you’re trying to get good in game footage but every time you FOLLOW one of those thing I question your sanity
Its not his footage, its a compilation of footage from the official game dev
I mean,who says he has the option? Tripods prefer moving in large groups. Just because you cant hear it doesn't mean it isn't there.
Happy to see (Beta testing?) been watching all the updates for a bit now.
Would be cool to see VR support for the tripod later down the line. Would be nice to fire both lasers at the same time while aiming in different individual directions. Double the fun, double the chaos (if there’s multiplayer, which would make it far more intense if a VR player is a tripod)
is the game out?
man trolling the homies in this game finna be the best
I have been waiting for an eternity for the release of this game...
I want to play this so bad!
Bro running in the middle of the street in plain view to get zapped.
Gonna love this even if just as a nosy neighbor sim....w/Aliens...
Really wanna see a version with the 1906 version with the eyes and the weird hat design
32:00 Realized this was the same model of log cabin as you get in Phasmophobia.
2:47 el detalle de cerrarle la puerta a una maquina de 2 toneladas es de pelicula...
ahh i wanna play this with friends so baaad!!
Im Generally praying this game comes to console one day
I hope it come on mobile too and I hope it doesn't have price BC I cannot play the game because it's my childhood
@@arkpayout3432 I dont think this is possible for mobile
@@RontheCannonfodderhahaha yes
@@arkpayout3432 this game will probably struggle on new gen consoles and pc, the only way i see it coming to mobile is if it turns into a mobile tycoon
@dinothegreatest1652 I highly doubt that it will struggle on new gen consoles..its more of a matter if they feel the need to import it on consoles after its success on pc...because it's clear this will be a banger
I saw the movie in the cinema back in 2005. Funny to see a game about it.
There was a Flash game about it at the time. It was lame
Same, but a survival-horror Forest-esq game based on it makes a hell of a lot of sense after seeing gameplay footage of it.
Nice
i need this game in my life now!!!!
Wish they were the Jeff Wayne tripods. Still looks amazing.
This game needs to be made for VR players!!!!
I've chatted with the Dev for this game a couple times, he's a pretty chill dude that loves hit pitbull.
I am in love with pink clouds in the sky so beautiful day outside
well done looks amazing
This is amazing.
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! THAT IS BEYOND EXELLENT!
Man those walkers are scary still.
would be amazing in VR !!!
This would be so crazy in vr.. It definetly gives u the scary feeling..
I wonder what the inside crew compartments look like, what does it look like inside the tripod?
the game would be perfect with destructive phsisics for the tripods heat ray and where it walks too leaving footprints and destruction in its wake.
Looks very promising! And scary. Did you buy the sounds? Because those are all from the 2005 Spielberg movie. Don't get me wrong tough! I LOVE THOSE SOUNDS! Sheer terror that fog horn!
This is like Attack on Titan but with aliens. XD
Can’t wait to cuss out a tripod after it jumpscares me
Questions: 1. Are those Tripods bots or players? 2. Is it on ps4 also? 3. Can you play single-player or are there also other modes like multiplayer or smth like that 4. Can you choose to be a Tripod? 5. There are 2 kinds of these machines right? The lazer gun one and the collecter. can you choose wich one you be?
*Initializing omnidirectional optogenetic scanning array* -Oh, no
BRAVO CANT WAIT
It would be cool if the buildings was destructible but still really good!
that looks like an Aswome game. Can't wait for it to come out.
Will this be available on Mac?
The ones that escape meet up somewhere else kinda like warzone but without the circle closing and its open world real time stradegy weapons call of duty type streaks for humans
OMG does this mean I can download the demo when I get home on my Xbox one?
I want to see the weapon that knocked over the free way bridge.
Just need to ask Jeff Wayne to provide the music now :)
Leave the album completely disconnected from the garbage film, please.
@@starcoloneldunadansonoft501your opinion doesn't matter here
I hope burning train also included.
tendrían que hacerlo mas survival horror de mundo abierto con csas que se puedan revisar y que la ia de los alies sea mas heavy
this is going to be a scary game
Хм, у этого проекта есть гигантский потенциал. Очень недурно. В детстве, когда я смотрел фильм Война Миров 2005 года, я мог только мечтать о подобной игре. Всего наилучшего разработчикам, особенно в финансовом плане для более качественной реализации.
Can someone tell where you can play This I have the Xbox serious s and a Nintendo Switch
