Beast Mode Alpha For Gears of War PC

[TheS19Project]

Yeah that concept just sounds silly lol, doubt that'll be happening...

[darksin]

Because some time ago people said beast mode is impossible for pc, but now we can see nothing is impossible. Anyway more models more good....

[JUGGERNUT]

Future checklist to improving beast mode:

Locked/Unlocked sign above selectable characters ☐
Timers on certain characters like the berserker ☐
Bone names updated for AI to target, like the ticker ☑
Butcher material detail level Fix ☑
Music ☐
Traps ☐
Rounds ☐
More Cog/Delta Squad ☐
Managable Time, hehe, could become more or less depending on tweaks ☐
Particle System with info on newly selected character ☐
More playable characters ☑
More maps, hehe, we'll get around to it eventually. ☐

Not too bad for an alpha, hehe.

Could you add gore?
The actual enemies of the alpha do not have any gore except for the head being blown to peices. In my opinion, it is more fun to shoot boomshots at them, chainsaw them, and dismember them (as a butcher), when there is blood and gore. Maybe Carmine's gore could be added for all redshirts and such.

I know it sounds terrible to ask to see humans with their intestines out and their guts flying around or cut in half , but I enjoy it better that way and maybe many others may agree.

But the gore thing is really something minor, and killing stranded is fun even though they have no gore (because in theory you are murdering civilians ).


Is there going to be more characters to kill in the next update, like women ( I saw some when my editor was functional) running for their lives and such?


Sorry if it is asking too much.

[JUGGERNUT]

Well, it would be possible, but the gore wouldn't quite be the same. By default, the stranded and redshirt in gears don't have gore meshes to go to upon death. It's possible through kismet to change the mesh, but it seems the physics can't really be changed, so they'd be gory, but you'd be unable to kick the body parts around. Also they wouldn't blow up from weapons like the torque bow, frags, and boomshot.. just fall over all gory. As for different stranded.... depends on the skeleton the mesh has, I know Anya can take gears stance, but other models don't have the bones, hehe.

I'll keep this gore issue in mind, because it would add to the game.... might not be visible client side, but it would add to the game.

[bobfuria]

Umm, forget what I posted about adding women to kill, it would be fun at first, but it could make gameplay less serious.

[darksin]

OK, waiting for beta....is it possible to add some teammate locust?

like several wretch group attack, or boomer army or more berserker....

It's Gears! Who said gameplay was meant to be serious

It's possible, but something I've held off. Making the majority of the locust characters on the same team would be easy, but for some of the other creatures, AI would be difficult. Take for example the butcher, we'd need to make him rush into the battlefield and actually go around swinging his cleaver. We'd have to add a whole bunch of kismet just for a single AI character. Then there'd also be kismet needed for when to spawn certain types depending on rounds won/lost and what character you are, etc.

This alone is a huge amount of work, not saying AI teammates won't be added, but it's not top priority.

Hope no teammates on beta if it would make it be released more late.

Edit: Will there be extra playable characters from GOW2 like Skorge, for example, even if it is like normal gameplay (like a drone)?

[darksin]

Thx, JUGGER, so forget it...

we also want to fight against skorge,lol...as no Horde mod did this before, Now beast mode make it posssible....

[TheS19Project]

This is BEAST MODE not HORDE. Think of horde but the opposite way round. You wouldn't be fighting against Skorge, you would be playing as him if that was the case.

[darksin]

Is it possible to add sth like magic skill? like shooting fire ball or lighting? Also make wretches climb walls?

[TheS19Project]

I dunno man. I suppose its worth a try

[JUGGERNUT]

sth

I don't understand what "sth" is, maybe short for "something"

Is it possible to add sth like magic skill? like shooting fire ball or lighting? Also make wretches climb walls?

Yeah, we could do that, I really don't know on what character but we could. As for the wretch, there is indeed an animation to climb walls like climbing a ladder, however I've tried to control a wretch to jump and crawl on the ceiling but it's not possible to control once you're on the ceiling. Also the animation to climb walls can get you out of the map, because the animation takes priority over physics, hehe.

I can neither confirm nor deny.

[TheS19Project]

I can neither confirm nor deny.

I am experimenting with bypassing the "set command preventer" on multiplayer. Perhaps servertravelling to the WarGameSP gametype, enter the command and servetravel back to a MP gametype maybe work?

Work experimenting with I guess. Me and Roy often have fun with messing around with servertravel xD

[bobfuria]

May I give my humble opinion?

If you guys are going to add magick skills, it could work on the Kantus. But I would like available two separate Kantus , the one that reproduces asexually and the one with magick skills, or all in one Kantus if that happens. Hope it won't end up looking corny and unfitting.


Hope that you find a way to make skorge do damage.

[darksin]

Wow, that's great!!, Good luck man, so can we ride reavers now? and shooting for sky?...

Maybe make a train map so we can fly here and there and shoot cogs from sky, play the last chapter in a different way, finally we control Raam and kill Marcus, no Gears 2 story any more.,lol...

[Jogurt1]

When will the next map and some new characters or new version?

[Roy2059]

Hey guys I found this cool gameplay video HERE Check it! ✓

I saw in the comments of that vid that a brumak will be playable.
I hope this mod does not die, like all good things in this life.

Don't worry Bob my son. It wont die

[JUGGERNUT]

Yeah, it might get pushed to the side for a while, but by no means are we going to abandon it like so many other WIP projects.

[Lambent Veteran]

When will the next map and some new characters or new version?

New characters and map is a new version. Anyway, we will keep working on this, the mod will not die off and never be worked on, it will eventually get to be worked on. Just please enjoy the Alpha right now, and just please be patient. Right now, we have a big project on mind and I'm not allowed to speak of it unless Jug wants me to spill the beans.

[darksin]

So what's next map? mp again or new ones?...

After Gears 3 out, hope those new character models like Queen and Anya can join the battle,...

[bobfuria]

I sure hope an update occurs this summer, now that I finally got time to play video games.
I wonder if Theron's Security remake is ported to Beast mode, laser traps on that map would be Killer.
And I also wonder if resonators will appear, not as JUUGG locust campaing in which the game ended, but doing big damage.
Or a Cole train that has a boomshot and everytime he shots he says BOOM BABY.

Sorry if I said something absurd, I am not very advanced on the editor.

We haven't thought of Security yet. We're doing our best to release a big update before Gears 3 releases, but we don't have an exact date to say when it will be.

[JUGGERNUT]

I plan to work on it once next week is over and done with, might not be enough to get a release, but will have quite a few fixes made.

[darksin]

how about new maps? some info about new models?........

[dibe91]

sorry but I can not start the mod on my compute when I start the game. which key should I use to open the console?

[JUGGERNUT]

It depends, here's a thread that might help

http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/sho...d.php?t=603357

[dibe91]

about adding new weapons in beastmode?

[JUGGERNUT]

It might happen, but there's a list of what will be improved on for the next release, which we've done 0 work on since alpha, hehe.

Don't think we have been lazy or anything. Jugg has been busy with exams and such and so have I but now that we are done with them work will resume ASAP

[TheS19Project]

Please remove me from the team OP.

Hooray! Now we don't have to deal with you constantly begging us for stuff

[Lambent Veteran]

Wow, did a lot of work on Beast Mode today, you guys are going to like the edits, fixes, and NEW additions I did!

Let's just say the new map is not on the Gears disc. Nuff said.

[Lambent Veteran]

Can't say now. But you'll like some of the new characters.

Good to know beast mode is being worked on.


And what about Skorge mate?

[JUGGERNUT]

Boss characters haven't been worked on at all yet.
