Agents of Mayhem - Volition's post Saints IP

That was just the focus of that trailer. The focus of the game is not on racing. Like our other open world games, a lot of the focus will be on the on foot shooty shooty bits.

My sentiments exactly. Looking forward to August.

Because of course Gat is in it… If you preorder.

That reminds me I have to go back and play Gat out of Hell.

New trailer, and yet I still don’t understand why there is a switching mechanic between characters? Just because?

How do you mean? I may be able to help explain.

Well the best way I can compare this to what I am thinking they are doing is, say this game was borderlands, and you get to play all 4 of the main characters at any time , just by switching? Am I understanding what they are trying to achieve in AoM?

So I guess Bombshell is a class, and there are 3 characters in that class, with different skills. Instead of 1 character with 3 skill trees?

You don’t have to play as that particular squad.

There are 12 characters in the game right off the bat (well, you unlock some as you play). Each character plays very differently, with its own upgrade path, weapons, powers. No set classes, although there are some specialties that you sometimes need, but are sometimes just useful for specific situations. You mix and match as you want.

The squads are primarily there for in game fiction - these characters group up in game, and have some storyline together.

Otherwise, you’re free to mix any three of the twelve when you go through squad loadout, based on whatever criteria you like - their gameplay, their personalities, whatever.

Good to know. That info was not revealed in any of the official videos posted in this thread. Without knowing that, it looks like a hot mess.

And I just found this :

I keep finding myself wishing for more of a sense of physics from the movement. The cars and characters alike move with a sense of weightlessness that reads wrong to me.

Looking forward to Teiman asking for the third time whether this is a MOBA.

Check your GMG emails, I had a 15% off voucher for this, in addition to the 10% already off. So I caved in and pre-ordered. I blame Gat out of Hell for being so damn fun, I can’t wait to see what they do with Agents of Mayhem. :D

So , yep… more character introductions.

If there’s one game I really really want to be good this year it’s Agents of Mayhem, Volition have put out some absolute gems in the past. But so far I haven’t seen anything that really blows me away.

Oh, Deep Silver. What are you doing?

The actual ad isn’t NSFW, but some of the ads on Daily Star could be, and the article links to YouPorn. To summarize, Deep Silver is using YouPorn to disseminate Agents of Mayhem ads.

Why isn’t this game Saints branded? Like open world multiplayer Saints Row? Why break from the well established IP and solid rep they built up here?

Because the Saints Row brand is inseparable from sociopathic gang members and big purple phalluses as melee weapons? I love the games, but they’re not exactly family friendly stuff.

But the Youporn Mayhem ads are fun for the whole family.
