Skewed and Reviewed have posted some video of the quickplay and regular mode of the 4.0 version of Hunt: Showdown. The audio did not capture but you can see and hear plenty of the gameplay action.
TNS: "The Murder Circus event is bringing sinister clowns to the swamps. Here's what's wrong with Post Malone's Hunt: Showdown collab."
Despite its server issues, UI problems, and high-rank toxicity, when you look at what it gets right, Hunt: Showdown is a masterpiece.
Never understood the praise for this game. While I'm sure it feels better with mouse and keyboard, on console the controls are clunky and unsatisfying, the gameplay loop is repetitive, and you spend an inordinate amount of time in menus and loading screens. There are also like 3-4 in game currency systems, and the game is loaded with microtransactions (which of course Crytek gets a pass on because they aren't EA or Ubisoft).
The Hunt: Showdown upgrade to CryEngine 5.11 drops this Aug. 15! Players can expect "a mountain of new content" throughout summer of 2024.
They have improved it since I first started playing but it still has a ways to go. It takes too long to get into a match for one. You can also see the balance is way off as a High-level player was matched with my level 3 player which does not give me much of a chance at all.
